Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
-
I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
-
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
-
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
-
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
-
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children
-
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
-
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
-
Therefore do not be partners with them.
-
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
-
And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
-
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
