I have preached righteousness in the great assembly; lo, I have not restrained My lips, O Jehovah, You know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not hidden Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

My mouth shall recount Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know their number.

I will go in the strength of the Lord Jehovah; I will keep in remembrance Your righteousness; Yours alone.

I will speak of Your Testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His glory, and that of His Father, and of the holy angels.

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

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but partake in the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God,

For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep safe what I have committed to Him until that Day.

The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this regard.

in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fulfilled the preaching of the gospel of Christ.

But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

And the angel said to them, Do not fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

If others are partakers of this authority over you, should we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this authority, but endure all things so that we might not hinder the gospel of Christ.

What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for your professed obedience to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

which is not another; but there are some who trouble you, even determined to pervert the gospel of Christ.

according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

So then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.

Jehovah shall send the staff of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies.

Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

Is not My Word like a fire? says Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of human wisdom, but in proof of the Spirit and of power,

But if everyone prophesies, and an unbeliever or an unlearned person comes in, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

And thus the secrets of his heart become revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will do homage to God and proclaim that God is truly among you.

by which also you are being kept safe, if you hold fast that Word which I preached to you; unless you believe in vain.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us manifests the aroma of His knowledge in every place.

To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds,

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ,

because of the hope being laid up for you in Heaven, of which you heard before in the Word of the Truth of the gospel,

which has come to you, as in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as it is also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know of what sort we were among you for your sake.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the Word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

trouble and anguish, on every soul of man who produces evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
