The historical record of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

for the law was given through Moses,
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

This is eternal life:
that they may know You, the only true God,
and the One You have sent—Jesus Christ.

But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead—by Him this man is standing here before you healthy.

But when they believed Philip, as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

[And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart you may.” And he replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”]

Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,” and immediately he got up.

He sent the message to the Israelites, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all.

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.

Therefore, if God gave them the same gift that He also gave to us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, how could I possibly hinder God?”

who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And she did this for many days.

But Paul was greatly aggravated and turning to the spirit, said, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out right away.

After some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him on the subject of faith in Christ Jesus.

proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with full boldness and without hindrance.

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle and singled out for God’s good news—

concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh

including yourselves who also belong to Jesus Christ by calling:

To all who are in Rome, loved by God, called as saints.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world.

on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

—that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction.

They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly.

But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!

And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have now received this reconciliation through Him.

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,

because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will not die again. Death no longer rules over Him.

So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,

because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.

and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Who is the one who condemns?
Christ Jesus is the One who died,
but even more, has been raised;
He also is at the right hand of God
and intercedes for us.

Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Can affliction or anguish or persecution
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience is testifying to me with the Holy Spirit—

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven?” that is, to bring Christ down

or, “Who will go down into the abyss?” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.

in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.

Christ died and came to life for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living.

For if your brother is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy that one Christ died for by what you eat.

Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement allow you to live in harmony with one another, according to the command of Christ Jesus,

so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.

For I say that the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of God’s good news. My purpose is that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I have reason to boast in Christ Jesus regarding what pertains to God.

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation,

I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join with me in fervent prayers to God on my behalf.

Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my coworkers in Christ Jesus,

Greet also the church that meets in their home.
Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are noteworthy in the eyes of the apostles, and they were also in Christ before me.

Greet Urbanus, our coworker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ.
Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the churches of Christ send you greetings.

for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.

[The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.]

Now to Him who has power to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation about Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent for long ages

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ—to Him be the glory forever! Amen.

Paul, called as an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Sosthenes our brother:

To God’s church at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called as saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord—both their Lord and ours.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus,

In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you,

so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful; you were called by Him into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.

What I am saying is this: Each of you says, “I’m with Paul,” or “I’m with Apollos,” or “I’m with Cephas,” or “I’m with Christ.”

Is Christ divided? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name?

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize—not with clever words, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.

Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom,

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became God-given wisdom for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,

For I didn’t think it was a good idea to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

For

who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct Him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.

For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

A person should consider us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of God’s mysteries.

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

For you can have 10,000 instructors in Christ, but you can’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
