Jesus Christ

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever more. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

“In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
