The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God,

But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the person of Christ;

Now when I came to Troas for the publication of the glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in the Lord,

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.

For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish:

For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.

being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but the Spirit of the living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of the heart.

And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God:

But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine forth for them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.

Because it is the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body, according to those he has done, whether it be good or evil.

For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;

So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.

So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:

and all things are of the God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:

how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.

We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as it were beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.

and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that ye by his poverty might be enriched.

Whether as regards Titus, he is my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, they are deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.

they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, when present am mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;

overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;

Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he is of Christ, so also are we.

For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)

For I am jealous as to you with a jealousy which is of God; for I have espoused you unto one man, to present you a chaste virgin to Christ.

But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, so your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ.

The truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) I above measure so; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such a one caught up to the third heaven.

And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for my power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.

Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.

Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up.

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,

examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?

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

Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,

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

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

which is not another one; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught them, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which are in Christ;

and it was on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then is Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified among you?

Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed is every one hanged upon a tree,)

that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.

For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.

There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:

but if ye are of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

and my temptation, which was in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:

Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.

Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated from him, as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus.

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

for the administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,

that we should be to the praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,

in which he wrought in the Christ in raising him from among the dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,

(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

and has raised us up together, and has made us sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.

that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

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

For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,

by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)

that they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

according to the purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,
