even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ - for by grace are ye saved -

For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.

if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

And he is the head of the body, that is, to wit, of the congregation: he is the beginning and first begotten of the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

And ye which were dead in sin through the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him and hath forgiven us all our trespasses

Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from ordinances of the world: Why as though ye yet lived in the world, are ye led with traditions of them that say

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

And all things, whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father by him.

My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth:

These are spots which of your kindness feast together, without fear, feeding themselves. Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: and trees without fruit at gathering time, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots.
