All things are from God, the one having reconciled us unto himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation. Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition, having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace; read more.
and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him,


for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us. And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.

And John responded to Him saying, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name, who does not follow us; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us. And Jesus said, Forbid him not. For there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. For whosoever is not against us, is on our side. read more.
For whosoever may give you a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's, truly I say unto you, can not lose his reward.

Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God? And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

And certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brethren that, Unless you may be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved. And there being no small contention and disputation to Paul and Barnabas against them, they delegated Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this question. Then indeed they having been sent away by the church, traveled through both Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they continued to make great joy to all the brethren. read more.
And arriving into Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles, and the elders, and they proclaimed so many things as God did with them. And certain one of those from the sect of the Pharisees having believed arose up, saying that, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders were convened to see about this problem. And there being much disputation, Peter, having arisen, said to them, Men, brethren, you know that from ancient days God chose among you, that the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel through my mouth, and believe. And God, who knows the heart, witnessed to them, giving to them the Holy Ghost, as also to us; and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But through the grace of our Lord Jesus, we believe that we are saved, in the same manner in which they are also. And the whole multitude became silent, and continued to hear Barnabas and Paul, relating how many miracles and wonders God wrought among the Gentiles through them. And after they became silent, James responded, saying, Men, brethren, hear me. Symeon hath related how God in the first place interposed to take a people from the Gentiles, in His name. And to this corresponds the words of the prophet; as has been written, After these things I will return, and will build again the throne of David, which has fallen down; and will build again the ruins of the same, and will set it up again: in order that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles, on whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, who doeth these things known from the beginning. Therefore I judge, that we should not burden those from the Gentiles turning to God: but to command them to abstain from things offered to idols, and from fornication, and from strangulation, and from blood. For Moses from ancient generations, has those preaching him in every city, being read in the synagogues on every Sabbath. Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, along with the whole church, to send men chosen from them into Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brethren: having written through their hand; The apostles and elders, brethren to the brethren who are from the Gentiles throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia greeting. Since we heard that certain ones having come out from us troubled you, disturbing your souls with words which we did not command: it seemed good to us, being of one accord, having chosen men to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have imperiled their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden than these necessary things, to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will do well. Fare ye well. Then indeed they, having been sent away, came down into Antioch, and convening the multitude, they delivered the letter. And having read it, they rejoiced over the consolation.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God, which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures, concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh; read more.
having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord: through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name: among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ: to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise: so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin. And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference, read more.
for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being freely justified by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed, in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus. Then where is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith. For we conclude that a man is justified by faith without works of law. Whether is he the God of the Jews only? is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yea, also of the Gentiles: truly there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. Then do we make void the law through faith? It could not be so: but we establish the law.

Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ: through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition, having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace; and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in. read more.
And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all. Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any one may have a quarrel against any one; as Christ also forgave you, so indeed do you likewise: read more.

There is one body and one Spirit, as ye indeed are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and above you all, and in all.







that they may all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me.

For we indeed have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it: since in that case would they not have ceased being offered, because the worshipers having once been purified would have had no more conscience of sins? But in the same sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins annually; read more.
for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body: whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins thou wast not pleased with: then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God. Saying above, that Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou didst not will, neither wast well pleased with; whatsoever are offered according to law; then he has said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second; by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every high priest indeed stands daily ministering, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take away sins: and he, having offered up one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God; finally waiting until his enemies may be made the foot-stool of his feet. For by one offering he has forever perfected the sanctified.

who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation, because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him; and he before all things, and all things consist in him: and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent: because in him all fulness is pleased to dwell; and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him,

But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one. For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering. For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, read more.
saying, I will proclaim thy name to thy brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praises to thee. And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me. Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil; and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death. For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed of Abraham. Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people.

He spoke this parable to them: but they did not know what things He was speaking to them. Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. read more.
I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture. The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them: because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
