"Happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are pardoned!

Happy is the person whose sins the Lord will not keep account of !"

Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me.

If I do what I don't want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it; instead, it is the sin that lives in me.

But no weapon will be able to hurt you; you will have an answer for all who accuse you. I will defend my servants and give them victory." The LORD has spoken.

Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God's only Son.

This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil.

"I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life.

But by becoming a curse for us Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the Law brings; for the scripture says, "Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God's curse."

Greetings also to Andronicus and Junia, fellow Jews who were in prison with me; they are well known among the apostles, and they became Christians before I did.

When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you.

Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.

I know a certain Christian man who fourteen years ago was snatched up to the highest heaven (I do not know whether this actually happened or whether he had a vision---only God knows).

So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Christ Jesus.

and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith.

God did this so that the righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.

Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's children.

What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.

The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives.

For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people.

as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ will appear.
