But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
-
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
-
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
-
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
-
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel
I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—
-
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)
-
“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

Humble Service in the Body of Christ
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
-
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
-
If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
-
because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
-
For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
-
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
-
Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
-
I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—
-
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
-
I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus.
-
Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.
