Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.

Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

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

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

…by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

Greet Herodion, my fellow countryman. Greet those from the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.

The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”

By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;

I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

…yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?

In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
