2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. Galatians 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

GOD SAVES US AND SEALS US WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN WE BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST! IT IS BY GRACE ! HIS ABUNDANT GRACE ! LET US SEE WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE AND HOW WE CAN BENEFIT FROM HIS WORK OF SALVATION!
   YOUR SALVATION,THE OPERATION OF GODColossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
The Eternal salvation of your soul is THE OPERATION OF GOD and we have no part in it. When we believe the Gospel of Christ we receive what THE GODHEAD has accomplished by the cross of Christ. It is a simple but powerful truth that many misunderstand given there is so much RELIGION that teaches a mixed Gospel based on human performance and traditions of men. Sadly the greatest part of the Christian Denominations are preaching and teaching a sort of Messianic Judaism, a diluted powerless version of the Gospel of the Kingdom,ignoring what Christ Himself revealed to the Apostle Paul and is recorded in the 13 letters ,Romans to Philemon. Vain traditions,commandments and doctrines of men.... In RELIGION they put emphasis on you...and your doings,works,performance and then YOU and not CHRIST become the PROTAGONIST...on you is the spotlight...examples would be: 1) YOU have to REPENT CONFESSING YOUR SINS 2) YOU have to recite THE SINNER PRAYER,repeat words that are suggested by the local preacher/pastor 3) YOU have to get BAPTIZED IN WATER 4) In certain denominations YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN TONGUES as proof or evidence that The Holy Ghost is in you and so you are saved. 5) YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE CHURCH BUILDING not forsaking the assembling of the believers. 4) YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE OTHERS BEFORE GOD FORGIVES YOU. 5) YOU HAVE TO CONFESS THE NAME OF JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART. 6) YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PUBLIC CONFESSION OF YOUR FAITH. 7) YOU HAVE TO PAY TITHES not to incur in the curses of Malachi 3 8) YOU HAVE TO STOP SMOKING,DRINKING ALCOHOL, etc etc 9) YOU YOU YOU .....it is a PERVERTED GOSPEL WHERE YOUR WORKS BEFORE YOU ACCEPT JESUS and AFTER, PLAY A VITAL PART....otherwise how would WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAVED? 10) YOU HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN....and after that,YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOURSELF SAVED BY DOING GOOD WORKS and CONFESSING CONSTANTLY YOUR SINS when YOU FAIL to walk THE STRAIGHT and NARROW WAY. 11) Peter,James and John are your apostles according to the denominations and your saving Gospel is the Gospel of The Kingdom... 12) I could add more,because the 300 denominations and the 44 thousands various groups and more that exist have so many different rules and traditions. You can see in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_denominations PAUL WROTE: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Yes...the serpent ( SATAN) has beguiled the denominations and corrupted the minds of the church goers from the simplicity that is in Christ. RELIGION IS COMPLICATED AND CANNOT SAVE ANYONE 7/31/2020 SALVATION IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD. ~ KJB 1769 Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1)ALL SINNERS Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 2)ALL CAN BE JUSTIFIED! Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: SIMPLY BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST! 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: BE SAVED AND SEALED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH,NO WORKS! Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. GLORY BE TO GOD FOR HIS GIFT! 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. QUESTION: " HAVE YOU HEARD?" Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:  EPHESIANS 3 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.  We are in the dispensation of God’s grace (Ephesians 3:1-2). 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Let’s review how Paul describes how God operates today: We are saved by grace (Eph 2:8-9). 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. We walk by grace (Rom 6:14). 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. We stand in grace (Rom 5:2). 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Grace is needed to teach us to live godly (Titus 2:11-13). 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; God is “able to make all grace abound toward” us (2 Cor 9:8). 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: God’s grace is sufficient in weakness, pain, and suffering (2 Cor 12:9). 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant to save (1 Tim 1:14). 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Our speech should be alway with grace (Col 4:6). 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. We have the riches of God’s grace (Eph 1:7). 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; We who are saved receive an “abundance of grace” (Rom 5:17). 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Grace abounds “much more” over sin and the law (Rom 5:20). 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: God’s grace reigns today (Rom 5:21). 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.  THE “ABC” OF THE BODY OF CHRIST: ACCEPTED- BLESSED-COMPLETE THE BODY OF CHRIST 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? THE BODY OF CHRIST IS: THE NEW CREATURE 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. THE “ABC” OF THE BODY OF CHRIST: ACCEPTED- BLESSED-COMPLETE ACCEPTED Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. BLESSED Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: COMPLETE Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: COMPLETE in CHRIST Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 120 Spiritual Blessings King James Bible 1769 1.Called to be saints .(Romans 1:7) To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 .God’s righteousness imputed to us (Romans 3:22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 3.justified freely by God’s grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 4.our iniquities are forgiven and covered by the blood of Christ (Romans 4:7) Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 5.justified by faith (Romans 5:1) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 6.peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1) we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 7. access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2) By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 8. justified by the blood of Christ (Romans 5:9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 9. saved from wrath through Christ (Romans 5:9) we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. reconciled to God by the death of His Son (Romans 5:10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. saved by Christ’s life (Romans 5:10) we shall be saved by his life. 12. we have received the atonement (Romans 5:11) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 13. baptised into Jesus Christ and into His death (Romans 6:3) Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death?

Compiled by Roberto Gagliardi www.butgodbutnow.com Perth Western Australia June 2019 ~ October 2021   Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  People do not read the Bible a lot in 2021 but those who do often do not believe what they read or read things that are not in it. Various strange ideas and interpretations often stemming from denominational cliques or vain traditions and commandments of men.Sadly many accuse God of heinous acts and slander His character thinking they have a right to do so,when in fact they manifest their own ignorance of God,His Attributes,His Majesty,His Holiness,His Mercy,His Grace...in other words ignorant men challenging the Almighty God and His infallible inspired and preserved word,the King James Holy Bible 1611-1769! Those men and women seal their eternal destiny in Hell and the Lake of Fire ignoring or rejecting the Grace of God and His generous offer of The Free Gift of Eternal Life. At the same time GOD is ready to save and seal by grace eternally those that believe and receive The Gospel of Christ, because GOD is Gracious and Merciful to anyone who put their trust in Him and what His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ has accomplished by His Death for our sins and His Resurrection for our justification. Rom 3:23-24 Rom 4:25 1 Cor 15:1-4 Rom.5:1 Eph 2:8-9
Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:  Hope of eternal life (Titus 1:2). Hope of resurrection (1 Thess 4:13). Hope of glory (Rom 8:18). Hope of a redeemed body (Rom 8:23-24). Hope of a short and light affliction (2 Cor 4:17-18). Hope of salvation (1 Thess 5:8). Hope of consolation (2 Cor 1:7). Hope of the Lord’s return (Titus 2:13). Hope of eternal life (Titus 1:2). Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;  Hope of resurrection (1 Thess 4:13). 1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.  Hope of glory (Rom 8:18). Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Hope of a redeemed body (Rom 8:23-24). Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Hope of a short and light affliction (2 Cor 4:17-18). 2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Hope of salvation (1 Thess 5:8). 1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.  Hope of consolation (2 Cor 1:7). 2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
Hope of the Lord’s return (Titus 2:13). Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
THE GOD OF HOPE Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.  2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) How are we SAVED? BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH,NO WORKS! Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. SO OUR WALK SHOULD BE THE SAME Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: By Grace through Faith! FAITH IN HIS WORD. GOD IS FAITHFUL. Believe the Gospel of Christ and be saved and sealed and walk by grace though faith.  Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
WE ALL HAVE TIMES OF DISCOURAGEMENT,SADNESS,DEPRESSING THOUGHTS,WORRIES AND TROUBLES. As long we are alive in this life,as long we are in this body of flesh,even if we are saved and sealed by grace,even though our spirit is complete in Christ,we go through times of distress. That is the time to go a find COMFORT in the Scriptures do we might have hope. GOD IS THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; Romans 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. PRAYERS IN THE BOOK OF CORINTHIANS 1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 1 Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 1 Corinthians 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 1 Corinthians 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 2 Corinthians 2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 2 Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. PRAYERS IN EPHESIANS Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAYERS IN THESSALONIANS: 1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 1 Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 1 Thessalonians 2:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 1 Thessalonians 2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 1 Thessalonians 3:9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; 1 Thessalonians 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 1 Thessalonians 3:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us. 1 Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 1 Thessalonians 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 1 Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. PRAYERS IN TIMOTHY 1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 1 Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 2 Timothy 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 2 Timothy 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 2 Timothy 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 2 Timothy 1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. 2 Timothy 1:18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. Prayers in Philemon Philemon 1:4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Philemon 1:5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Philemon 1:7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. 
  1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. OUR LORD wants us TO REJOICE in HIM, ALL THE TIME ALWAY, and we wonder why,how,is that really possible? Some of us are going trough very difficult times,our minds are so occupied with the problems we face. I suppose this rejoicing is too much of a challenge. I am sick,I lost my job,my children are sick,my car got stolen,I have very little money to go on,my wife ( husband) has left me,I am in the midst of a painful divorce,I lost my house to the bank,nobody loves me,nobody understands me,I "feel" miserable,the doctor told me I got cancer,I am "clinically" depressed,my best friend betrayed me,...the list of the bad things people ( saved and unsaved) go through in life is very long...each one of us can add to it,I am sure because I am a man of flesh and bones and I live in a present evil world like the rest of you all. No,no, this rejoicing in the Lord it is too much of a challenge,especially now,in the year 2021,there is a "pandemic",people are dead and and die everywhere,worldwide,and the governments are using draconian laws and mandates to get people injected with an experimental drug. We had fires,hurricanes,earthquakes,natural and man made disasters....the list of bad things go on and on...some of us are really at the end of the rope,lost hope,got little hope or no hope at all. Still I read in my King James Holy Bible: 1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. I would like to ask you,first of all :" ARE YOU SAVED ?" Do you know for sure where will you go when your earthly life is over? If you are SAVED and SEALED by GRACE through FAITH Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Having believed and received this Gospel of Christ: 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Then being SAVED and SEALED you should learn TO REJOICE EVERMORE,IN THE LORD,regardless of the earthly circumstances,because YOU are going TO HEAVENLY PLACES and have ETERNAL LIFE even now! If you are NOT SAVED yet,BELIEVE that GOSPEL and GOD will save you and seal you instantaneously !!! it is a FREE GIFT: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: NOW LET US SEE THE VERSES CONCERNING THE JOY OF THE LORD and OUR REJOICING IN HIM, according to PROPHECY and according to MYSTERY.
Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.   WHO is THE BELOVED? and,are WE ACCEPTED in HIM? on the basis of what,our PERFORMANCE and WORKS or HIS PERFORMANCE and WORKS? let us find out: Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Mark 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Luke 20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. THE BELOVED IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,THE SON OF GOD! The moment a LOST SINNER puts his/her FAITH in the GOSPEL OF CHRIST gets SAVED and SEALED for ETERNITY and is ACCEPTED in THE BELOVED! WHICH Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. SO,WHICH GOSPEL SAVES US NOW? Here: 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:  Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.  BUT GOD IN THE KJB 1769
BUT NOW IN THE KJB 1769
“Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.” – Acts 7:51 Paul explains about hypocritical Jews that true Jewish circumcision was an inward circumcision of the heart. Their flesh circumcision was not sufficient for righteousness even though it was an outward obedience to the commandment. “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” – Romans 2:29
UNDER GRACE, there is a CIRCUMCISION without THE LAW and it is the WORK of GOD, not of man so that our flesh cannot glory. Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. This circumcision is not part of Israel’s covenants. It is not physical. Neither was it the inner circumcision of the heart which was commanded to serve the Lord “with all thy heart and soul” (Deut 10:12). Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, Deuteronomy 10:13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? This mystery circumcision describes an operation of God, not of ourselves, lest any should boast. It is God circumcising us from the body of the sins of our flesh. This doctrinal separation was a part of our crucified identification with Christ (Gal 2:20, Rom 6:3-4). Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Glory of God’s Operation It is only when God separated us from the body of the sins of the flesh that he could rightly declare us righteous in Christ. When our own body is cut off, then we are free to live in Christ without the sins of the flesh weighing us down. This great mystery where we reckon our flesh dead and alive unto God describes a truth that has been performed already upon you by God the moment you believe. Like many grace truths, we learn about it after studying the mystery of Christ. It is not the flesh circumcision that avails, neither is it the obedience of our heart to a covenant. While we were still sinners Christ died for us and when we put our faith in his finished work we are cut off from the old man. Glory to God! Yes indeed to GOD ALONE ALL THE GLORY!!!!  GOD IS THE GODHEAD Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.  We can learn about GOD in His preserved, inspired, infallible word, the King James Holy Bible 1611-1769 and we can rely on His very words without doubting when we understand that GOD cannot lie and that His word is The word of Truth. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalms 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 2 Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
GOD IS THE CREATOR: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:6 ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. GOD 4444 times in the KJB Genesis 1:1 GOD THE FATHER Genesis 1:2 GOD THE SPIRIT Genesis 1:3 GOD THE WORD
GOD IS HOLY Psalms 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Revelation 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.  MOST HIGH GOD Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: Genesis 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, Psalms 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. Psalms 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: Daniel 3:26 ¶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, came forth of the midst of the fire. Daniel 5:18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: Daniel 5:21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;  Psalms 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Psalms 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. Psalms 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psalms 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 
SAVED SEALED AND CONFIRMED BY GRACE We are SAVED by GRACE: Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. WE ARE SEALED BY GRACE Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. WE ARE CONFIRMED BY GRACE 1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: GRACE IN THE 13 LETTERS of PAUL
"Romans to Philemon Romans 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Romans 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Romans 15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 1 Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Corinthians 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Corinthians 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 2 Corinthians 8:6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 2 Corinthians 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. Galatians 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Galatians 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Philippians 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. Philippians 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 2 Thessalonians 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 2 Thessalonians 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 2 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. Philemon 1:3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Philemon 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. ALL HAVE SINNED Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  ALL CAN BE SAVED FREELY Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  HOW CAN YOU BE SAVED AND SEALED ETERNALLY? BY BELIEVING AND RECEIVING THE GOSPEL OF GRACE HERE: 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: PLEASE CONSIDER : Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  BELIEVE AND RECEIVE AND BE SAVED AND SEALED COMPLETE IN CHRIST~ Colossians 2:10 KJB Colossians 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; Colossians 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. Colossians 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, Colossians 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, Colossians 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Colossians 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Colossians 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. DELIVERED FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS

Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Colossians 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, Colossians 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Colossians 1:6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: Colossians 1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; Colossians 1:8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Colossians 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. |
THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF CHRIST
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
Romans 3:19
Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21
But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just,
and the justifier of him
which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded.
By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man
is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:20
He staggered not at the promise of God
through unbelief;
but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:21
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised,
he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:22
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:23
Now it was not written for his sake alone,
that it was imputed to him;
Romans 4:24
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed,
if we believe on him that raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Romans 4:25
Who was delivered for our offences,
and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans 5:4
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:6
For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:7
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 5:10
For if, when we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 5:11
And not only so, but we also joy in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 16:25
Now to him that is of power
to stablish you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began,
Romans 16:26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:27
To God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? where is the scribe?
where is the disputer of this world?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world
by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 1:22
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:23
But we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock,
and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:24
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 15:1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you
the gospel
which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians 15:2
By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4
And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5:16
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:
yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh,
yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:18
And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us:
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.
1 Timothy 1:15
This is a faithful saying,
and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief.
1 Timothy 1:16
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ might
shew forth all longsuffering,
for a pattern to them which should hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting.
1 Timothy 1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
Romans 3:19
Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21
But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just,
and the justifier of him
which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded.
By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man
is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:20
He staggered not at the promise of God
through unbelief;
but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:21
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised,
he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:22
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:23
Now it was not written for his sake alone,
that it was imputed to him;
Romans 4:24
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed,
if we believe on him that raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Romans 4:25
Who was delivered for our offences,
and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans 5:4
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:6
For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:7
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 5:10
For if, when we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 5:11
And not only so, but we also joy in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 16:25
Now to him that is of power
to stablish you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began,
Romans 16:26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:27
To God only wise, be glory through
Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing
the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? where is the scribe?
where is the disputer of this world?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world
by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 1:22
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:23
But we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock,
and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:24
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 15:1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you
the gospel
which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians 15:2
By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4
And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5:16
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:
yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh,
yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:18
And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us:
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.
1 Timothy 1:15
This is a faithful saying,
and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief.
1 Timothy 1:16
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ might
shew forth all longsuffering,
for a pattern to them which should hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting.
1 Timothy 1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
Colossians 3:3
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Colossians KJB
Chapter 3
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

1 Timothy 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they
teach no other doctrine,
teach no other doctrine,
| 1 Timothy (The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy) Chapter 1 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. |
