We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

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.

Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

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,

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
