But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God."

saying, "Tell us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?"

And when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whether will ye that I give loose unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?"

Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified."

The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the son of God.

I marvel that ye are so soon turned from him that called you in the grace of Christ, unto another gospel:

which is nothing else, but that there be some which trouble you, and intend to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Preach I man's doctrine or God's? Other go I about to please men? If I studied to please men, I were not the servant of Christ.

neither received I it of man, neither was I taught it: but received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

and was unknown, as touching my person, unto the congregations of Jewry, which were in Christ.

and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

I despise not the grace of God: For if righteousness come of the law, then is Christ died in vain.

O foolish Galatians: who hath bewitched you, that ye should not believe the truth, to whom Jesus Christ was described before the eyes, and among you crucified?

But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us - for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" -

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ.

This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect.

But the scripture concluded all things under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ should be given unto them that believe.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster unto the time of Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

For all ye that are baptised, have put on Christ.

Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

Wherefore now art thou not a servant, but a son. If thou be the son, thou art also the heir of God through Christ.

And my temptation which I suffered by reason of my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred, but received me as an angel of God: yea as Christ Jesus.

My little children - of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be fashioned in you -

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and wrap not yourselves again in the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing at all.

Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace.

For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the appetites and lusts.

Bear ye one another's burden; and so fulfill the law of Christ.

As many as desire with outward appearance to please carnally, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution with the cross of Christ.

God forbid that I should rejoice but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified as touching me, and I as concerning the world.

For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. {Unto the Galatians, Written from Rome}

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

And ordained us before unto himself that we should be chosen before, through Jesus Christ, to be heirs unto himself according to the pleasure of his will,

the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, which before believed in Christ.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself,

which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things,

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

and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus.

For to show, in times to come, the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to us ward, in Christ Jesus.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

remember, I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world.

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen -

whereby, when ye read ye may know mine understanding in the mystery of Christ,

That the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel,

Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ,

according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.

be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ,

till we, everyone - in the unity of faith, and knowledge of the son of God - grow up unto a perfect man, after the measure of age which is of the fullness of Christ:

But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ,

But ye have not so learned Christ;

Be ye courteous one to another, and merciful, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave you.

and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light."

giving thanks always for all things unto God the father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body.

Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things.

Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it,

This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.

Servants, be obedient unto your carnal masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ:

not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen. {Sent from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.}

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

and am surely certified of this, that he which began a good work in you shall go forth with it until the day of Jesus Christ,

For God beareth me record how greatly I long after you all from the very heart-root in Jesus Christ.

that ye might accept things most excellent, that ye might be pure and such as should hurt no man's conscience, until the day of Christ;

filled with the fruits of righteousness, which fruits come by Jesus Christ unto the glory and laud of God.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest throughout all the judgment hall: and in all other places;

Some there are which preach Christ of envy and strife, and some of goodwill.

The one part preacheth Christ of strife, and not purely, supposing to add more adversity to my bonds.

What then? So that Christ be preached all manner ways, whether it be by occasion, or of true meaning, I therein joy: Yea and will joy.

For I know that this shall chance to my salvation, through your prayer, and ministering of the spirit of Jesus Christ,

as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death.

For Christ is to me life, and death is to me advantage.

I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all:

that ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ through me, by my coming to you again.

Only let your conversation be, as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may yet hear of you, that ye continue in one spirit, and in one soul laboring as we do to maintain the faith of the gospel,

For unto you it is given, that not only ye should believe on Christ: but also suffer for his sake,

If there be among you any consolation in Christ, if there be any comfortable love, if there be any fellowship of the spirit, if there be any compassion of mercy:

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus:

and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

holding fast the word of life, unto my rejoicing in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have laboured in vain.

For all others seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ's.

because that for the work of Christ he went so far, that he was nigh unto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that service which was lacking on your part toward me.

For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake.
