Beloved, while using all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and exhort you to earnestly contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.

And when He had said these things, while they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him away from their sight.

Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured out this which you both see and hear.

22 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, 23 Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.

Who Himself bore up our sins in His body on the tree, in order that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose bruise you were healed.

Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

So we who are many are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

Solemnly testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance unto God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart.
