2 Corinthians 5:7

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

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

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

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

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

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 amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

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

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

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

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

If you love me, keep my commandments.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

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

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

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

Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

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.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

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 the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,

for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Yahweh your God gives you.

We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
