For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will work great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if it were possible, the very elect.

for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, to lead astray the very chosen, if they can.

"yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

in order to equip the saints for the work of serving, for the building up of the Body of Christ??13 till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the maturity of manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also am I.

Most gladly therefore will I boast rather of my weakness, that over me like a tent may be pitched the power of Christ. That is why I rejoice in weakness, in ill-treatment, in troubles, in persecutions and calamities for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by command of God our Saviour and Jesus Christ our Hope,

Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, and to the elders and deacons.

In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ,

If you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ abides, seated on the right hand of God.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, sent forth to proclaim the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;

They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

He who keeps his commandments is abiding in Him, and Christ in him. By this we know that Christ is abiding in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

For Christ's sake we are fools, but you are quite philosophic in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are outcast.

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ Jesus, you can have but one father. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.

You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing.

For just as I have more than my share in the sufferings of the Christ, so also through the Christ I have more than my share of comfort.

On Christ's behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christ's behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

O my little children, of whom I travail again in birth until Christ be formed within you!

So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;

Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.

If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.

because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

Ever be bearing one another's burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For in his love he predestined us (such was the good pleasure of his will) to adoption for himself as sons through Jesus Christ,

for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.

that we who first hoped in Christ should be for the praise of his glory.

I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;

which he exercised in raising Christ from the dead, and in seating him at his right hand in the heavenly heights,

God has put all things under Christ's feet, and placed him as Head over all in the church,

even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).

together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,

in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.

You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles??2 for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?

By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ

namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles form one body with us the Jews, and are coheirs and copartners in the promise, through the gospel.

To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;

according to his eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love,

and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.

to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, to all generations, world without end, Amen.

And to each one of us was grace given according to the measure of the munificence of Christ.

but holding the truth in love we shall grow up in every part into him who is our Head, even Christ.

But you have not so learned Christ,

and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."

For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

For this reason it is said, "Awake, thou sleeper! Arise from the dead; And Christ shall shine upon thee!"

and at all times for all things give thanks to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Submit yourselves one to another out of reverence for Christ.

because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.

But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church;

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

As for Titus, remember that he is a partner of mine, and is also my associate in labors for you. As for the other brothers, remember that they are delegates from the churches, men in whom Christ is glorified.

For this ministration proves you. On account of it men glorify God for your faithfulness to your professions of the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your gifts to them and to all.

Now I Paul, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ??aul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent"??2 I beseech you, and I say, do not make me show my boldness, when I come in the boldness with which I think I shall show my courage against some who think that I am walking on the low level of the flesh.

For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

For I am not overstepping the limits of my authority, as though I reached you not; since I have already come even as far as Corinth to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

I have a divine jealousy on your behalf; for I betrothed you to one only husband, even to Christ, that I might present you to him, a chaste virgin.

But I fear lest, just as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your minds should be seduced from your single-mindedness and purity toward Christ.

As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine shall not be stopped within the boundaries of Greece!

For such fellows are sham apostles of Christ.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as though I were beside myself), such, far, more, am I; in labors more abundant, in imprisonments also more abundant, in floggings beyond measure, in deaths often.

Do you think that all this time I am defending myself to you? It is before the presence of God that I am speaking in Christ; and all, beloved, for your upbuilding.

Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.

Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;

Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,
