Who Am I In Christ

so that if any one <FI>is<Fi> in Christ--<FI> he is<Fi> a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

and ye <FI>are<Fi> a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God--to those believing in his name,

`I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh--in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

and did raise <FI>us<Fi> up together, and did seat <FI>us<Fi> together in the heavenly <FI>places<Fi> in Christ Jesus,

for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ--if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await--the Lord Jesus Christ--

Ye--of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who <FI>is<Fi> in you, than he who is in the world.

And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;

Blessed <FI>is<Fi> the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

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

and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

`Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what <FI>is<Fi> the will of God--the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,

according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place--both theirs and ours:

`Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;

through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.

this knowing, that our old man was crucified with <FI>him<Fi> , that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;
