Now some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deliverance from Bondage

Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Our Victory in Christ

Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deep Concern for Israel

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsfolk and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding in the view of the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

Foundations for Living

And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ.

We are fools on account of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are without honor!

For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

I affirm, brothers and sisters, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.

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

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place.

For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

I know a man in Christ, who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven.

All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for building you up, beloved.

I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which are in Christ;

Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

nevertheless, knowing that a person is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law; since by works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Far from it!

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

For you are all sons and daughters of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Sonship in Christ

Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

The Blessings of Redemption

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

regarding His plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.

which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

Made Alive in Christ

And you were dead in your offenses and sins,

and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Thanksgiving

Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:

so that your pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.

Be like Christ

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and take pride in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;

We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ.

You Are Built Up in Christ

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have in your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face,

For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.

For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

Those Who Died in Christ

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
