I passed on to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
That He was buried, that He rose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold, And that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
May Christ through your faith settle down in your hearts!
I am not ashamed of the Gospel (Best News Ever) of Christ, for i is God’s power working unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, For in the Gospel (Best News Ever) a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith.
As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live by faith.
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was granted and graciously entrusted; to proclaim to the Gentiles the unendng riches of Christ.
Let the whole house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt and acknowledge assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ the Messiah this Jesus Whom you crucified.
When Christ, Who is your life, appears, the you also will appear with Him in the splendor of His glory.
So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess our acknowledgment of it, for He Who promised is reliable and faithful to His word.
We have become fellows with Christ and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation firm and unshaken to the end.
When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ
May Christ through your faith dwell in your hearts!
May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on His love!
