“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets,

some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,

for the edifying of the body of Christ.”

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;

it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked,

following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.”

“And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts,

crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son,

and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”

“Not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you

and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven,

should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you,

let him be accursed (anathema)!”

“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus:

that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves,

but for Him who died for them and rose again.”

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing,

yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction,

which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding

and eternal weight of glory.”

“…always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,

that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake,

that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.”

“And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living soul.”

The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”

“But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.”

“No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God.

I do not want you to be participants with demons.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons.

You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.”

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,

whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body

and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,

nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,

nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

“To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light,

and from the power of Satan to God,

that they may receive, through faith in Me,

forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified.”

“Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders,

which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else,

for there is no other name under heaven given among men

by which we must be saved.”
