And we will also be guilty of lying about God, because we have told people about him, saying that he raised Christ from death. And if no one is raised from death, then God never raised Christ from death.

Then the end will come. Christ will destroy all rulers, authorities, and powers. Then he will give the kingdom to God the Father.

Christ must rule until God puts all enemies under his control.

As the Scriptures say, "God put everything under his control." When it says that "everything" is put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself. God is the one putting everything under Christ's control.

After everything has been put under Christ, then the Son himself will be put under God. God is the one who put everything under Christ. And Christ will be put under God so that God will be the complete ruler over everything.

Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you don't know God. I say this to shame you.

But God gives it the body that he has planned for it, and he gives each kind of seed its own body.

But we thank God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be separated from God—lost forever! Come, O Lord!

Greetings from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus. I am an apostle because that is what God wanted. Greetings also from Timothy our brother in Christ. To God's church in Corinth and to all of God's holy people throughout Achaia.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Father who is full of mercy, the God of all comfort.

He comforts us every time we have trouble so that when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us.

In fact, it seems like God has been telling us we are going to die. But this is so that we will not trust in ourselves but in God, who raises people from death.

And you can help us with your prayers. Then many people will give thanks for us—that God blessed us because of their many prayers.

This is what we are proud of, and I can say with a clear conscience that it is true: In everything we have done in the world, we have done it with an honest and pure heart from God. And this is even truer in what we have done with you. We did this by God's grace, not by the kind of wisdom the world has.

But if you can believe God, then you can believe that what we tell you is never both yes and no.

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one that Silas, Timothy, and I told you about was not yes and no. In Christ it has always been yes.

The yes to all of God's promises is in Christ. And that is why we say "Amen" through Christ to the glory of God.

And God is the one who makes you and us strong in Christ. God is also the one who chose us for his work.
