Helaman (Book of Mormon)
5:12 - And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Helaman (Book of Mormon)
5:1 - And it came to pass that in this same year, behold, Nephi delivered up the judgment-seat to a man whose name was Cezoram.
5:2 - For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted.
5:3 - Yea, and this was not all; they were a stiffnecked people, insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice, save it were to their destruction.
5:4 - And it came to pass that Nephi had become weary because of their iniquity; and he yielded up the judgment-seat, and took it upon him to preach the word of God all the remainder of his days, and his brother Lehi also, all the remainder of his days;
5:5 - For they remembered the words which their father Helaman spake unto them. And these are the words which he spake:
5:6 - Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words. Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.
5:7 - Therefore, my sons, I would that ye should do that which is good, that it may be said of you, and also written, even as it has been said and written of them.
5:8 - And now my sons, behold I have somewhat more to desire of you, which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may boast, but that ye may do these things to lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, yea, which is eternal, and which fadeth not away; yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life, which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.
5:9 - O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.
5:10 - And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins.
5:11 - And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.
5:12 - And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
5:13 - And it came to pass that these were the words which Helaman taught to his sons; yea, he did teach them many things which are not written, and also many things which are written.
5:14 - And they did remember his words; and therefore they went forth, keeping the commandments of God, to teach the word of God among all the people of Nephi, beginning at the city Bountiful;
5:15 - And from thenceforth to the city of Gid; and from the city of Gid to the city of Mulek;
5:16 - And even from one city to another, until they had gone forth among all the people of Nephi who were in the land southward; and from thence into the land of Zarahemla, among the Lamanites.
5:17 - And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done.
5:18 - And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did preach unto the Lamanites with such great power and authority, for they had power and authority given unto them that they might speak, and they also had what they should speak given unto them--
5:19 - Therefore they did speak unto the great astonishment of the Lamanites, to the convincing them, insomuch that there were eight thousand of the Lamanites who were in the land of Zarahemla and round about baptized unto repentance, and were convinced of the wickedness of the traditions of their fathers.
5:20 - And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did proceed from thence to go to the land of Nephi.
5:21 - And it came to pass that they were taken by an army of the Lamanites and cast into prison; yea, even in that same prison in which Ammon and his brethren were cast by the servants of Limhi.
5:22 - And after they had been cast into prison many days without food, behold, they went forth into the prison to take them that they might slay them.
5:23 - And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about as if by fire, even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them for fear lest they should be burned. Nevertheless, Nephi and Lehi were not burned; and they were as standing in the midst of fire and were not burned.
5:24 - And when they saw that they were encircled about with a pillar of fire, and that it burned them not, their hearts did take courage.
5:25 - For they saw that the Lamanites durst not lay their hands upon them; neither durst they come near unto them, but stood as if they were struck dumb with amazement.
5:26 - And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did stand forth and began to speak unto them, saying: Fear not, for behold, it is God that has shown unto you this marvelous thing, in the which is shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us.
5:27 - And behold, when they had said these words, the earth shook exceedingly, and the walls of the prison did shake as if they were about to tumble to the earth; but behold, they did not fall. And behold, they that were in the prison were Lamanites and Nephites who were dissenters.
5:28 - And it came to pass that they were overshadowed with a cloud of darkness, and an awful solemn fear came upon them.
5:29 - And it came to pass that there came a voice as if it were above the cloud of darkness, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, and seek no more to destroy my servants whom I have sent unto you to declare good tidings.
5:30 - And it came to pass when they heard this voice, and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul--
5:31 - And notwithstanding the mildness of the voice, behold the earth shook exceedingly, and the walls of the prison trembled again, as if it were about to tumble to the earth; and behold the cloud of darkness, which had overshadowed them, did not disperse--
5:32 - And behold the voice came again, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; and seek no more to destroy my servants. And it came to pass that the earth shook again, and the walls trembled.
5:33 - And also again the third time the voice came, and did speak unto them marvelous words which cannot be uttered by man; and the walls did tremble again, and the earth shook as if it were about to divide asunder.
5:34 - And it came to pass that the Lamanites could not flee because of the cloud of darkness which did overshadow them; yea, and also they were immovable because of the fear which did come upon them.
5:35 - Now there was one among them who was a Nephite by birth, who had once belonged to the church of God but had dissented from them.
5:36 - And it came to pass that he turned him about, and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi; and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of angels. And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven; and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices to some being whom they beheld.
5:37 - And it came to pass that this man did cry unto the multitude, that they might turn and look. And behold, there was power given unto them that they did turn and look; and they did behold the faces of Nephi and Lehi.
5:38 - And they said unto the man: Behold, what do all these things mean, and who is it with whom these men do converse?
5:39 - Now the man's name was Aminadab. And Aminadab said unto them: They do converse with the angels of God.
5:40 - And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him: What shall we do, that this cloud of darkness may be removed from overshadowing us?
5:41 - And Aminadab said unto them: You must repent, and cry unto the voice, even until ye shall have faith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be removed from overshadowing you.
5:42 - And it came to pass that they all did begin to cry unto the voice of him who had shaken the earth; yea, they did cry even until the cloud of darkness was dispersed.
5:43 - And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about, and saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing them, behold, they saw that they were encircled about, yea every soul, by a pillar of fire.
5:44 - And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them; yea, they were encircled about; yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison; and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.
5:45 - And behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven, and did enter into their hearts, and they were filled as if with fire, and they could speak forth marvelous words.
5:46 - And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them, yea, a pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying:
5:47 - Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.
5:48 - And now, when they heard this they cast up their eyes as if to behold from whence the voice came; and behold, they saw the heavens open; and angels came down out of heaven and ministered unto them.
5:49 - And there were about three hundred souls who saw and heard these things; and they were bidden to go forth and marvel not, neither should they doubt.
5:50 - And it came to pass that they did go forth, and did minister unto the people, declaring throughout all the regions round about all the things which they had heard and seen, insomuch that the more part of the Lamanites were convinced of them, because of the greatness of the evidences which they had received.
5:51 - And as many as were convinced did lay down their weapons of war, and also their hatred and the tradition of their fathers.
5:52 - And it came to pass that they did yield up unto the Nephites the lands of their possession.

Matthew (New Testament)
22:1 - And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
22:2 - The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
22:3 - And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
22:4 - Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
22:5 - But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
22:6 - And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
22:7 - But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
22:8 - Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
22:9 - Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
22:10 - So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
22:11 - And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
22:12 - And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
22:13 - Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
22:14 - For many are called, but few are chosen.
22:15 - Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
22:16 - And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
22:17 - Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
22:18 - But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
22:19 - Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
22:20 - And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
22:21 - They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22:22 - When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
22:23 - The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
22:24 - Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
22:25 - Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
22:26 - Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
22:27 - And last of all the woman died also.
22:28 - Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
22:29 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
22:30 - For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
22:31 - But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
22:32 - I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
22:33 - And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
22:34 - But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
22:35 - Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.
22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
22:40 - On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
22:41 - While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
22:42 - Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
22:43 - He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
22:44 - The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
22:45 - If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
22:46 - And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Matthew (New Testament)
25:1 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
25:2 - And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
25:3 - They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
25:4 - But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
25:5 - While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
25:6 - And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
25:7 - Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
25:8 - And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
25:9 - But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
25:10 - And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
25:11 - Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
25:12 - But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
25:13 - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
25:14 - For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15 - And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
25:16 - Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
25:17 - And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
25:18 - But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

25:25 - And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
25:26 - His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

25:36 - Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
25:37 - Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

1 Peter (New Testament)
3:1 - Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
3:2 - While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3:3 - Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
3:4 - But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:5 - For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
3:6 - Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
3:7 - Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
3:8 - Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
3:9 - Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
3:10 - For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
3:11 - Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
3:12 - For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
3:13 - And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
3:14 - But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
3:15 - But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
3:16 - Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
3:17 - For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
3:18 - For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 - By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
3:20 - Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
3:21 - The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
3:22 - Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

43:23 - Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
43:24 - Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
43:25 - I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
43:26 - Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
43:27 - Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
43:28 - Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Romans (New Testament)
8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:2 - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
8:3 - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
8:4 - That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:5 - For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8:8 - So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
8:9 - But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
8:10 - And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
8:11 - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
8:12 - Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
8:13 - For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
8:14 - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
8:15 - For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
8:17 - And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
8:18 - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
8:19 - For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
8:20 - For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
8:21 - Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
8:22 - For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
8:23 - And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
8:24 - For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
8:25 - But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
8:26 - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
8:27 - And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
8:29 - For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
8:30 - Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
8:31 - What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
8:32 - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
8:33 - Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
8:34 - Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
8:35 - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
8:36 - As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
8:38 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8:39 - Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Galatians (New Testament)
2:1 - Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2:2 - And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
2:3 - But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
2:4 - And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
2:5 - To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
2:6 - But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
2:7 - But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
2:8 - (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
2:9 - And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
2:10 - Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
2:11 - But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
2:12 - For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
2:13 - And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
2:14 - But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
2:15 - We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
2:17 - But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
2:18 - For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
2:19 - For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
2:21 - I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
