Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

For no word from God will ever fail.”

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

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

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near. John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, . . .

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

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread?

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

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

Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

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

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. . . .

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

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

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.

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

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

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

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

In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
