No Other Gospel

⁶ I am astonished that you are ^(A)so quickly deserting ^(B)him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to ^(C)a different gospel— ^7 (D)not that there is another one, but ^(E)there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or ^(F)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ^(G)let him be accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, ^(H)let him be accursed.

The Resurrection of Christ

15 Now I would remind you, brothers,^[a] of the gospel ^(A)I preached to you, which you received, ^(B)in which you stand, ² and by which ^(C)you are being saved, if you ^(D)hold fast to the word I preached to you—^(E)unless you believed in vain.

³ For ^(F)I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died ^(G)for our sins ^(H)in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁴ that he was buried, that he was raised ^(I)on the third day ^(J)in accordance with the Scriptures, ⁵ and that ^(K)he appeared to Cephas, then ^(L)to the twelve.

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am ^(A)the way, and ^(B)the truth, and ^(C)the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

²⁶ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by ^(A)the washing of water ^(B)with the word, ²⁷ so ^(C)that he might present the church to himself in splendor, ^(D)without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.^[a]

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than ^(A)conquerors through ^(B)him who loved us.

³⁴ Then ^(A)the King will say to ^(B)those on his right, ‘Come, you ^(C)who are blessed by my Father, ^(D)inherit ^(E)the kingdom ^(F)prepared for you ^(G)from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For ^(H)I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ^(I)gave me drink, ^(J)I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ^36 (K)I was naked and you clothed me, ^(L)I was sick and you ^(M)visited me, ^(N)I was in prison and you came to me.’ ³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? ³⁸ And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? ³⁹ And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ ⁴⁰ And ^(O)the King will answer them, ^(P)‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ^(Q)my brothers,^[a] you did it to me.’

¹¹ Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, ^(A)examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

⁷ For ^(A)you always have the poor with you, and whenever ^(B)you want, you can do good for them. But ^(C)you will not always have me.
