Paul The Apostle

For he who has died has been freed from sin...14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us - set us right with him, make us fit for him - we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand - out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

And thus I aspire to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named so that I would not build on another man's foundation.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Your teaching must have the integrity of serious, sound words to which no one can take exception. If it does, no opponent will be able to find anything bad to say about us, and hostility will yield to shame.

For when I am powerless, it is then that I am strong.
