Now these were the circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ. Mary, his mother, was engaged to Joseph, but before they were married it was found that she was about to become a mother through the influence of the holy Spirit.

But while he was thinking of doing this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, "Joseph, descendant of David, do not fear to take Mary, your wife, to your home, for it is through the influence of the holy Spirit that she is to become a mother.

All this happened in fulfilment of what the Lord said through the prophet,

There were some shepherds in that neighborhood keeping watch through the night over their flock in the open fields.

And he went all through the Jordan Valley preaching repentance and baptism in order to obtain the forgiveness of sins,

For they cannot die again; they are like the angels, and through sharing in the resurrection, they are sons of God.

And he began with Moses and all the prophets and explained to them the passages all through the Scriptures that referred to himself.

Everything came into existence through him, and apart from him nothing came to be.

He came to give testimony, to testify to the light, so that everyone might come to believe in it through him.

He came into the world, and though the world came into existence through him, the world did not recognize him.

and God will through himself honor him; he will honor him immediately.

He had shown himself alive to them after he had suffered, in many convincing ways, appearing to them through forty days, and telling them about the Kingdom of God.

"Men of Israel, listen to what I say. Jesus of Nazareth, as you know, was a man whom God commended to you by the wonders, portents, and signs that God did right among you through him.

It is by his power and through faith in him that this man whom you see and recognize has been made strong again, and it is faith inspired by him that has given him the perfect health you all see.

You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs of the agreement that God made with your forefathers when he said to Abraham, 'Through your posterity all the families of the earth will be blessed.'

There is no salvation through anyone else, for there is no one else in the world who has been named to men as their only means of being saved."

though he did not fail to give some evidence about himself, through his kindnesses to you, in sending you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, giving you food and happiness to your heart's content."

The church saw them off upon their journey, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria they told of the conversion of the heathen, and caused great rejoicing among all the brothers.

This quieted the whole meeting, and they listened while Barnabas and Paul told of the signs and wonders which God had done among the heathen through them.

He traveled through Syria and Cilicia and strengthened the churches.

After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they reached Thessalonica, where the Jews had a synagogue.

For it is through union with him that we live and move and exist, as some of your poets have said, " 'For we are also his offspring.'

since he has fixed a day on which he will justly judge the world through a man whom he has appointed, and whom he has guaranteed to all men by raising him from the dead."

After spending some time there, he started out again, and traveled systematically through Galatia and Phrygia, reassuring all the disciples.

As he wanted to cross to Greece, the brothers wrote to the disciples there, urging them to welcome him. On his arrival there he was of great service to those who through God's favor had become believers,

It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul, after passing through the interior, reached Ephesus. Finding some disciples there,

After traveling through those districts and giving the people a great deal of encouragement, he went on to Greece

and how I served the Lord most humbly and with tears, through all the trials that I encountered because of the plots of the Jews.

Paul greeted them warmly and gave a detailed account of what God had done among the heathen through his efforts.

It was the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting through the Adriatic when about midnight the sailors began to suspect that there was land ahead.

As they could not agree among themselves, they started to leave, when Paul added one last word. "The holy Spirit put it finely," he said, "when it said to your forefathers through the prophet Isaiah,

which he promised long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

through whom we have received God's favor and been commissioned in his name to urge obedience and faith upon all the heathen,

First I thank my God through Jesus Christ about you all, because the news of your faith is spreading all over the world.

In it God's way of uprightness is disclosed through faith and for faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright will have life because of his faith."

Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible nature??is eternal power and divine character??ave been clearly perceptible through what he has made. So they have no excuse,

on that Day when, as the good news I preach teaches, God through Christ Jesus judges what men have kept secret,

It is God's way of uprightness and comes through having faith in Jesus Christ, and it is for all who have faith, without distinction.

but by his mercy they are made upright for nothing, by the deliverance secured through Christ Jesus.

For God showed him publicly dying as a sacrifice of reconciliation to be taken advantage of through faith. This was to vindicate his own justice (for in his forbearance, God passed over men's former sins)??26 to vindicate his justice at the present time, and show that he is upright himself, and that he makes those who have faith in Jesus upright also.

For the promise made to Abraham and his descendants that the world should belong to him did not come to him or his descendants through the Law, but through the uprightness that resulted from his faith.

So as we have been made upright by faith, let us live in peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

by whom we have been introduced through faith to the favor of God that we now enjoy, and let us glory in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

and hope will not disappoint us. For, through the holy Spirit that has been given us, God's love has flooded our hearts.

So if we have already been made upright by his death, it is far more certain that through him we shall be saved from God's anger!

If, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, it is far more certain that now that we are reconciled we shall be saved through sharing in his life!

More than that, we actually glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom we owe our reconciliation.

It is just like the way in which through one man sin came into the world, and death followed sin, and so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

But there is no comparison between God's gift and that offense. For if one man's offense made the mass of mankind die, God's mercy and his gift given through the favor of the one man Jesus Christ have far more powerfully affected mankind.
