to the praise of his glorious grace, which he bestowed upon us in the beloved, in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which he bestowed on us abundantly with all wisdom and knowledge making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself in respect to the dispensation of the fullness of times, to bring all things into one in Christ, the things which are in heaven and the things which are on earth, in him in whom also we have been called, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works out all things according to the counsel of his will, that we should be for a praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ; in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also you having believed were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is a pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

For we Jews by race and not sinners of the gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For the promise to Abraham and his posterity that he should inherit the world was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if the subjects of the law are heirs, the faith is done away and the promise abrogated. For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed.read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them.

for we have all been baptized with one Spirit in one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and have all been made to drink one Spirit.

For he is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of partition, the enmity, and abolished by his flesh the law of commandments [consisting] of ordinances, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, making peace, and reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having destroyed the enmity by it.read more.

And when Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, passing through the higher portions of the country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples; and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus.

And all the men were about twelve.

This only would I learn of you. Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by a hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit do you now end in the flesh? Have you suffered so much in vain? if indeed also it is in vain.read more.
He then that imparts to you the Spirit, and exercises miraculous powers among you, does he do it by works of the law, or by the doctrine of faith?

AND I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of the spiritual gifts. You know that when you were gentiles, you followed dumb idols as you were led. I assure you, therefore, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus an accursed thing, and no one can call Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.read more.
And there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit; and there are diversities of services and the same Lord; and there are diversities of operations and the same God, who performs all things in all. But a manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for a useful purpose. For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit, and to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of performing cures by the same Spirit, and to another the performance of mighty works, and to another prophecy, and to another discrimination of spirits, and to another different tongues, and to another an interpretation of tongues; but all these [works] performs one and the same Spirit, distributing to each in particular as it wills.

Cherish love, and be earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy. For he that speaks with a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in spirit he speaks mysteries; but he that prophesies speaks to men to edification and exhortation and consolation.read more.
He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies an assembly. I wish you all to speak with tongues, but rather that you should prophesy; and he that prophesies is greater than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the assembly may receive edification. But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you by a revelation, or by a knowledge, or by a prophecy, or by a doctrine? So of irrational objects making a sound, whether a flute or harp; if it makes no distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is played on the flute or harp? For also if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle? So also you by a tongue if you utter a word not easily understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you will speak to the air. There are perhaps as many kinds of voices in the world, and no one is without significance; if therefore I do not know the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me. So also you, since you are earnestly desirous of spirits [spiritual gifts], seek to abound for the edification of the church. Let him therefore that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret, For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What then is [to be done]? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding; since if you bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to your thanksgiving, since he knows not what you say? For you indeed give thanks well; but the other is not edified. I thank God I speak with a tongue more than you all; but in an assembly I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may also teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men. For it is written in the law, With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak to this people, and so they shall not understand me, says the Lord. Tongues therefore are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers, but prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers. If, therefore, the whole church comes together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in the unlearned and unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad? But if all prophesy, and there comes in an unbeliever or an unlearned man, he is convinced by all, he is examined by all, and the secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you. What then is [to be done] brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a revelation, has an interpretation; let all things be done for edification. If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be by two or at most by three, and by turns, and let one interpret; and if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God. Let two or three prophets speak, and let the rest judge; but if any thing is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all be comforted. And the spirits of prophets are subject to the prophets; for God is not [the friend] of disorder but of peace.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are sons of God. For you received not the spirit of servitude again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry; Abba, Father. The Spirit itself is a co-witness with our spirits that we are children of God.read more.
And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

for through him we both have access by one spirit to the Father.

but now we are released from the law by which we were held having died, that we should serve [God] in newness of spirit, not in the old age of a writing.

But that which is in secret is the Jew, and circumcision of the heart is in the spirit not in the writing, the commendation of which is not of men but of God.

for you are manifestly an epistle of Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of hearts of flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die; but if by the spirit you kill the deeds of the body, you shall live.

For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh, but they who are according to the spirit the things of the spirit; for the minding of the flesh is death, but the minding of the Spirit is life and peace. Because the minding of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God; for it can not be.read more.
And they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

And I say, walk in the Spirit and perform not the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are opposed one to another, so that you do not what you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.read more.
For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. And the [subjects] of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

for he that sows for his flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction; but he that sows for the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life eternal.

And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

and not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

For being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened, because we do not wish to put it off, but to put on [the other], that the mortal may be swallowed up by life. And he that has made us for this is God, who has given us the pledge of the Spirit.

in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also you having believed were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is a pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

But our kingdom is in heaven, from which also we expect the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our humble body, and make it like his glorious body, by the power by which he is able also to subject all things to himself.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ also shall all be made alive. But each one in his own order; Christ a first fruit, then those who are Christ's at his coming; then is the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will destroy every principality and every authority and power.read more.
For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy, death, shall be destroyed, for he put all things under his feet. But when he says that all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted who puts all things under him; and when all things have been put under him, then will the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus. For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who live and remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those that have fallen asleep, for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,read more.
then we the living who remain shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall be always with the Lord.

since it is just with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you, and to you who are afflicted rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels in a flame of fire, executing judgment on all that know not God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;read more.
who shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired by all that believe in that day, for our testimony was believed by you.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus.

But if Christ is preached that he was raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then both our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain;read more.
and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in regard to God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up if indeed the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, Christ was not raised; and if Christ was not raised, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins, and those then who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ also shall all be made alive. But each one in his own order; Christ a first fruit, then those who are Christ's at his coming;

For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to a perishable condition, not willingly, but by him that subjected it, in hope that the same creation will be delivered from the servitude of destruction and [brought] into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself in respect to the dispensation of the fullness of times, to bring all things into one in Christ, the things which are in heaven and the things which are on earth, in him
