30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 6 RO 15:17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. RO 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, RO 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. RO 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: RO 15:21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. RO 15:22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. RO 15:23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; RO 15:24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your [company]. RO 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. RO 15:26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. RO 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. RO 15:28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. RO 15:29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. RO 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me; RO 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; RO 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. RO 15:33 Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen. RO 16:01 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: RO 16:02 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. RO 16:03 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: RO 16:04 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. RO 16:05 Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. RO 16:06 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. RO 16:07 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. RO 16:08 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. RO 16:09 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. RO 16:10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' [household]. RO 16:11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the [household] of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. RO 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. RO 16:13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. RO 16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. RO 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. RO 16:16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. RO 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. RO 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. RO 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all [men]. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. RO 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen. RO 16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. RO 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, salute you in the Lord. RO 16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. RO 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. RO 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, RO 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: RO 16:27 To God only wise, [be] glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. 1CO 01:01 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother, 1CO 01:02 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 1CO 01:03 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 1CO 01:04 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 1CO 01:05 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge; 1CO 01:06 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 1CO 01:07 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1CO 01:08 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1CO 01:09 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1CO 01:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1CO 01:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1CO 01:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1CO 01:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 1CO 01:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 1CO 01:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 1CO 01:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 1CO 01:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1CO 01:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1CO 01:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1CO 01:20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1CO 01:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1CO 01:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 1CO 01:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1CO 01:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1CO 01:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1CO 01:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: 1CO 01:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1CO 01:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1CO 01:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1CO 01:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1CO 01:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1CO 02:01 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 1CO 02:02 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1CO 02:03 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 1CO 02:04 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1CO 02:05 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1CO 02:06 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 1CO 02:07 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: ~~~~~~
