The New Testament: The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians: Chapter 6
|
|
{9}
And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
|
{10}
So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.
|
{11}
See with how large letters I write unto you with mine own hand.
|
{12}
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
|
{13}
For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
|
{14}
But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
|
{15}
For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
|
{16}
And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
|
{17}
Henceforth, let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
|
{18}
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

The New Testament: The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians: Chapter 1
|
|
{1}
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
|
{2}
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
{3}
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:
|
{4}
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
|
{5}
having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
|
{6}
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
|
{7}
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
|
{8}
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
|
{9}
making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
|
{10}
unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,]
|
{11}
in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;
