The Great Commission

¹⁴ Afterward ^(A)he appeared ^(B)to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their ^(C)unbelief and ^(D)hardness of heart, because ^(E)they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. ¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(F)“Go into all the world and ^(G)proclaim the gospel to ^(H)the whole creation. ^16 (I)Whoever believes and is ^(J)baptized ^(K)will be saved, but ^(L)whoever ^(M)does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And ^(N)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(O)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(P)they will speak in new tongues; ^18 (Q)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(R)they will lay their hands ^(S)on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁹ So then the Lord Jesus, ^(T)after he had spoken to them, ^(U)was taken up into heaven and ^(V)sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while ^(W)the Lord worked with them and confirmed ^(X)the message ^(Y)by accompanying signs.]]

¹⁴ For ^(A)he himself is our peace, ^(B)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(C)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(D)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(E)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(F)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(G)preached peace to you who were ^(H)far off and peace to those who were ^(I)near. ¹⁸ For ^(J)through him we both have ^(K)access in ^(L)one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(M)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(N)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(O)members of the household of God, ^20 (P)built on the foundation of the ^(Q)apostles and prophets, ^(R)Christ Jesus himself being ^(S)the cornerstone, ^21 (T)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(U)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(V)you also are being built together ^(W)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.
