Galatians 4:5

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

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.

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

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.

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

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

Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’

Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

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—

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony in its own times,

Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

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

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

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

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;

To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

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,”

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

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.

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.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
