…That being justified by His grace…

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and …

Death Swallowed Up In Victory

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and …

Giving Thanks To The One Who Is Worthy

The Nations Shall Glorify The Lord For His Mercy

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, "For this cause I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto Thy name." And …

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it …

...And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.  And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised …

The Most Convenient Time Is Now

And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, "When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter."  And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of …

While They Watched, Jesus Was Taken Up

When they therefore were come together, they asked of Him, saying, "Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"  And He said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power.  But ye shall receive power, after …
