for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

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.

‘Cursed is he who doesn’t uphold the words of this law by doing them.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ ”

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.

“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
