All Scripture is inspired by God and is

useful to teach us what is true and to

make us realize what is wrong in our lives.

It corrects us when we are wrong and

teaches us to do what is right.

Let me now remind you, dear brothers

and sisters, of the Good News I preached

to you before. You welcomed it then, and

you still stand firm in it.

It is this Good News that saves you if you

continue to believe the message I told

you—unless, of course, you believed

something that was never true in the first

place.

I passed on to you what was most

important and what had also been passed

on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as

the Scriptures said.

He was buried, and he was raised from

the dead on the third day, just as the

Scriptures said.

For Christ didn’t send me to baptize

[baptism is important but this is more

important], but to preach the Good

News—and not with clever speech, for

fear that the cross of Christ would lose its

power.

The message of the cross is foolish to

those who are headed for destruction!

But we who are being saved know it is the

very power of God.

In the beginning God created the heavens

and the earth.

So God created human beings in his own

image. In the image of God he created

them; male and female he created them.

Then God looked over all he had made,

and he saw that it was very good!

When Adam sinned, sin entered the

world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death

spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,

everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,

everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free

gift of God is eternal life through Christ

Jesus our Lord.

And they will go away into eternal

punishment, but the righteous will go into

eternal life.

As the Scriptures say, “No one is

righteous— not even one. For everyone

has sinned; we all fall short of God’s

glorious standard.

As the Scriptures say, “No one is

righteous— not even one. For everyone

has sinned; we all fall short of God’s

glorious standard.

But God showed his great love for us by

sending Christ to die for us while we were

still sinners. And since we have been

made right in God’s sight by the blood of

Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s

condemnation.

condemnation.

We are sure of this because Christ was

raised from the dead, and he will never

die again. Death no longer has any power

over him. When he died, he died once to

break the power of sin.

We are sure of this because Christ was

raised from the dead, and he will never

die again. Death no longer has any power

over him. When he died, he died once to

break the power of sin.

But now that he lives, he lives for the

glory of God. So you also should consider

yourselves to be dead to the power of sin

and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

So we are always confident, even though

we know that as long as we live in these

bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

For we live by believing and not by seeing.

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would

rather be away from these earthly bodies,

for then we will be at home with the Lord.

But now God has shown us a way to be

made right with him without keeping the

requirements of the law, as was promised

in the writings of Moses and the prophets

long ago.

We are made right with God by placing

our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true

for everyone who believes, no matter who

we are.

God saved you by his grace when you

believed. And you can’t take credit for

this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a

reward for the good things we have done,

so none of us can boast about it.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has

created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can

do the good things he planned for us long

ago.

But he was pierced for our rebellion,

crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we

could be whole. He was whipped so we

could be healed.
