What can ever part us from Christ's love? Can anguish or calamity or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or the sword?

by the force of miracles and marvels, by the power of the Spirit of God. Thus from Jerusalem right round to Illyricum, I have been able to complete the preaching of the gospel of Christ ??20 my ambition always being to preach it only in places where there had been no mention of Christ's name, that I might not build on foundations laid by others,

For who ever understood the thoughts of the Lord, so as to give him instruction? No one. Well, our thoughts are Christ's thoughts.

We, for Christ's sake, are 'fools'; you in Christ are sensible. We are weak, you are strong; you are honoured, we are in disrepute.

Do you not know your bodies are members of Christ? Am I to take Christ's members and devote them to a harlot? Never!

to those outside the Law I have become like one of themselves ??though I am under Christ's law, not outside God's Law ??to win over those outside the Law;

Now you are Christ's Body, and severally members of it.

It makes me satisfied, for Christ's sake, with weakness, insults, trouble, persecution, and calamity; for I am strong just when I am weak.

I am astonished you are hastily shifting like this, deserting Him who called you by Christ's grace and going over to another gospel.

I do not annul God's grace; but if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ's death was useless.

Now if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring; in virtue of the Promise, you are heirs.

But each one of us is granted his own grace, as determined by the full measure of Christ's gift.

as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to be subject to their husbands in every respect.

But for Christ's sake I have learned to count my former gains a loss;

It is His will that they should understand the glorious wealth which this secret holds for the Gentiles, in the fact of Christ's presence among you as your hope of glory.

in him you have been circumcised with no material circumcision that cuts flesh from the body, but with Christ's own circumcision,

May the Lord direct your hearts towards God's love and towards Christ's patience!

who now testifies to what is God's word and Jesus Christ's testimony ??to what he saw.
