After that I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

because we know that a man does not come into right standing with God by doing what the law commands, but by simple trust in Christ, we too have trusted in Christ Jesus, in order to come into right standing with God by simple trust in Christ and not by doing what the law commands, because by doing what the law commands no man can come into right standing with God.

Now if, in our efforts to come into right standing with God through union with Christ, we have proved ourselves to be sinners like the heathen themselves, does that make Christ a party to our sin? Of course not.

Because the Scripture foresaw that God would bring the heathen into right standing with Himself on condition of faith, He beforehand proclaimed the good news to Abraham in the promise, "It is through you that all the heathen will be blessed."

Now it is evident that through the law no man is brought into right standing with God, for "The man in right standing with God will live by faith,"

For all of you who have been baptized into union with Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba," that is, "Father."

Have I then turned into an enemy to you, because I tell you the truth?

For the Scripture says: "Rejoice, you childless woman, who never bore a child; break forth into shouting, you who feel no birth pangs; for the desolate woman has many children, even more than the married one."

You people, whoever you are among you, who try to get into right standing with God, through law have cut yourselves off from Christ, you have missed the way of God's favor.

You were running beautifully! Who was it that cut into your way and kept you from obeying the truth?

who is the first installment of our inheritance, so that we may finally come into full possession of the prize of redemption, and praise His glory for it.

For He Himself is our peace, He is the one who has made us both into one body and has broken down the barrier that kept us apart;

In union with Him the whole building is harmoniously fitted together and continues to grow into a temple, sacred through its union with the Lord,

and you yourselves, in union with Him, in fellowship with one another, are being built up into a dwelling for God through the Spirit.

By reading this you will be able to understand my insight into the secret about the Christ --

What does "He went up" mean, except that He had first gone down into the lower regions of the earth?

But, on the other hand, we shall go on holding to the truth and in love growing up into perfect union with Him, that is, Christ Himself who is the Head.

And you Philippians yourselves know that immediately after the good news was first preached to you, when I left Macedonia, no church but yours went into partnership with me to open an account of credits and debits.

It is God who has delivered us out of the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of His dearly loved Son,

to live lives worthy of God who calls you into His kingdom and His glory.

May the Lord guide you into a realization of God's love for you and into a patient endurance like Christ's.

I am always thanking Christ Jesus our Lord who has given me strength for it, for thinking me trustworthy and putting me into the ministry,

It is a saying to be trusted and deserves our fullest acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; and I am the foremost of them.

and it was not Adam who was deceived, but it was the woman who was utterly deceived and fell into transgression.

He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, or else he may incur reproach and fall into the devil's trap.

For we bring nothing into the world and surely we can take nothing out of it.

But men who keep planning to get rich fall into temptations and snares and many foolish, hurtful desires which plunge people into destruction and ruin.

For some of them practice going into people's houses and capturing weak and silly women who are overwhelmed with the weight of their sins, who are easily led about by all sorts of evil impulses,

so that we might come into right standing with God through His unmerited favor and become heirs of eternal life in accordance with our hope.

Or again, "I will become His Father, and He shall become my Son"? But when He brings again His first-born Son into the world, He says, "And let all the angels worship Him."

However, regarding the angels He says: "He turns His angels into winds, and His attendants into flames of fire."

For whoever is admitted into God's rest himself has rested from his works, just as God did.

For although you ought to be teachers of others because you have been Christians so long, you actually need someone to teach you over and over again the very elements of the truths that God has given us, and you have gotten into such a state that you are in constant need of milk instead of solid food.

'For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel in those days,' says the Lord; 'I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. And nevermore will each one need to teach his fellow-citizen,

With these arrangements completed in this way, the priests in conducting their official services regularly go into the outer part of the tent of worship;

but into the second or inner part nobody but the high priest may go, and he only once a year, and never without blood which he offers for himself and for the sins committed in ignorance by the people.

and not with blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He once for all went into the real sanctuary and secured our eternal redemption.

For it was not a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, that Christ entered, but it was into heaven itself that He went, in order now to appear for us in the very presence of God.

So, when Christ was coming into the world, He said:

"'This is the covenant that I will make with them: In those last days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws into their hearts, and write them on their minds,'"

It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ever living God!

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the priest as a sin-offering, are burned outside the camp.

If we put bridles into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies, too.

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to such and such a city and stay a year, go into business and make money,"

You must be patient, too; you must put iron into your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is close at hand.

It was made known to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in their searching for these things that have already been told to you by those who through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven brought you the good news. The angels long to take a peep into these things.

and keep on building yourselves up, as living stones, into a spiritual house for a consecrated priesthood, to offer up, through Jesus Christ, spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God.

But you are the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the consecrated nation, the people to be His very own, to proclaim the perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

They are astonished that you are not still rushing hand in hand with them into the same excesses of profligate living, and they abuse you for it;

for it is in this way that to you will be generously granted a triumphant admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

For by uttering arrogant nonsense, through base desires of the lower nature, they entice into immorality men who are just escaping from those who live in error,

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love our brothers. Whoever does not continue to love continues still in death.

Dearly beloved, stop believing every so-called spiritual utterance, but keep testing them to see whether they come from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

This is the way God's love for us has been shown, namely, God has sent His only Son into the world that we through Him might have life.

For many impostors have gone out into the world, men who do not own that Jesus Christ continues to come in human form. A person like this is the impostor and the Antichrist.

For certain persons have sneaked in -- their doom was written down long ago -- godless persons, who turn the favor of our God into an excuse for licentiousness, and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Alas for them, because they have trod the road that Cain did; for gain they have rushed into Balaam's error and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!

Do not be so afraid of what you are to suffer. See! The devil is going to throw some of you into prison to be tested there and for ten days to suffer pressing troubles. Each one of you must prove to be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life.

"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to have ascribed to you the glory, honor, and power; for you created everything, And since you willed it so, they came into existence and were created."

But no one in heaven or on earth or underneath the earth could open the book or look into it.

Then I began to weep bitterly because no one could be found deserving to open the book or look into it.

Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and what seemed to be a great mountain, all ablaze with fire, hurled itself into the sea, and one-third of the sea was turned into blood,

they had breastplates that seemed to be made of steel; the noise of their wings was like the noise of vast numbers of chariots and horses rushing into battle;

They have the power to shut up the sky, so that no rain will fall upon the earth as long as they prophesy, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with any plague as often as they please.

After three days and a half the breath of life from God came into them again, and they stood on their feet, and consternation seized those who saw them.

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and loud voices were heard in heaven, saying, "The sovereignty of the world has come into the possession of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever."

Then the woman fled into the desert, where she had a place of safety made ready by God, so that she might be cared for one thousand, two hundred and sixty days.

Whoever leads others into captivity will go into captivity himself. Whoever kills with the sword must be killed with the sword himself. In this way will be shown the patient endurance and the fidelity of God's people.

himself will have to drink the wine of God's vengeance, poured unmixed into the cup of His wrath, and be tortured with fire and brimstone before the eyes of the holy angels and the Lamb.

So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth's vine, and flung them into the wine press of God's wrath,

(15:7) and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory and power of God, and no one could go into the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were at an end.

Then the second angel emptied his bowl into the sea, and it turned into blood like a dead man's, and every living thing that was in the sea died.

Then the third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood.

Then the seventh angel emptied his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying, "It is done."

The great city was broken into three parts; the cities of the heathen fell, and God remembered to give mighty Babylon the cup of the wine of His raging wrath,

For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by giving up their authority to the wild beast until God's words are carried out.

Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: "With violence like this, Babylon the great city will be hurled to ruin, and it will never be found again.

Then the wild beast was captured and with him the false prophet who performed wonders in his presence, by which he led astray those who let the mark of the wild beast be put on them and worshiped his statue. Both of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns with brimstone.

Then he hurled him into the abyss, closed it, and sealed it over him, to keep him from leading the nations astray anymore, until the thousand years are at an end; after that he must be let loose a little while.

Then the devil who led them astray was hurled into the fiery lake of burning brimstone, where the wild beast and false prophet were, and there they are to be tortured day and night forever and ever.

Then death and the underworld were hurled into the fiery lake, This is the second death -- the fiery lake.

If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was hurled into the fiery lake.

Whoever conquers will come into possession of these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

The nations will walk by its light; the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

and they will bring the splendor and honor of the nations into it.
