How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”

Even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death.

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

And said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

He must increase, but I must decrease.

He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins; and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.

No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”

Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

To whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.”

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!”

For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily, and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it. For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

That their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ.

The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!

The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!”

He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.

Looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.”

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

Knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ.

Who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”

Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”

Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.”

Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’”

The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.”

Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
