²¹ But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²² even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

²³ for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

¹⁹ So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹ in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

⁴ Ye are of God, `my' little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

¹² All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

²¹ prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

²² abstain from every form of evil.

²³ And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²² Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²³ Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.

²⁴ And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;

⁷ Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.

²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

² And if I have `the gift of' prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

⁵ Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee; on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of Jehovah.

⁵ And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁶ And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

⁷ And they were in all about twelve men.

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
