¹² And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant^(A) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:^{(B) 13} I have set my rainbow^(C) in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

¹¹ You are to undergo circumcision,^(A) and it will be the sign of the covenant^(B) between me and you.

¹⁶ The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,^(A) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.

²⁹ No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,^(A) by the Spirit,^(B) not by the written code.^(C) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.^(D)

¹⁵ He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.^{(A) 16} Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.^{(B) 17} And these signs^(C) will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;^(D) they will speak in new tongues;^{(E) 18} they will pick up snakes^(F) with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on^(G) sick people, and they will get well.”

¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,^(A) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

¹³ For we were all baptized^(A) by^[a] one Spirit^(B) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free^(C)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.^(D)
