¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,

²⁰ which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,

²¹ far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

²² And God hath put all things under His feet, and hath given Him to be the head over all things to the church,

²³ which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

¹² Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?

²² It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers, who stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in,

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish; but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God.

¹⁹ For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness,

²⁴ but unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

¹¹ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul,

¹² so that handkerchiefs or aprons from his body were brought unto the sick, and the diseases departed from them and the evil spirits went out of them.

⁵¹ Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

⁵⁵ “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

⁴ what is man that Thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that Thou dost visit him?

⁵ For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

²⁰ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
