For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Do not fear, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

that being justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who are about to inherit salvation.

Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, pledged it by an oath,

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will appoint you administrator over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.

And I appoint a kingdom to you, as My Father appointed unto Me,

that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it dawned upon the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come; all are yours.

And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it unto eternal life.

If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, My Father will honor him.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must enter the kingdom of God through many afflictions.

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

So then death is working in us, but life in you.

For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.

Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to argue with empty words to no good, to the destruction of the hearers.
