\v 13 Because of the sins you committed against God, you were spiritually dead. And because you were Gentiles, God had not chosen you to be his people. But when God made Christ alive, he also made you spiritually alive with Christ, and he forgave all our sins.

\v 10 They also tell us that you are waiting expectantly for his Son to return to earth from heaven. It was God who raised up his Son from the dead; and the Son of God is the one who rescues us from the anger of God that is coming.

\v 7 Christ never told us another form of the good news, but other people are confusing you. They want to change the good news about Christ; they want you to believe that Christ actually said something different.
\s5
\v 8 But even if we apostles or an angel from heaven should tell you a form of the good news that is not the same as what we told you before, God should punish that person forever.
From Bob and Tom
\v 13 By becoming a curse for us, Christ rescued us from the curse that the law brings. Christ was cursed for us by dying on the cross; as the scripture says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
from Bob and Tom
\v 27 It is like what the prophet Isaiah wrote,
\q "Be glad, you women who have no children!
\q Shout out loud and cry out,
\q2 you who have never had labor pains!
\q You will have more children than
\q2 any woman with a husband could have borne."
\v 5 Test yourselves to be sure that you are living your lives by trusting in God. You should realize that Christ is in you. But if you are not trusting in God, then, of course, Christ is not in you.
Thanks to Susan and Bob
\v 12 As the human body is a union of many parts, and all parts of the body together make the whole, so it is with Christ.
Thanks to Bob Johnson for finding a more consistent syntax.

\v 2 You may recall that time before you were believers in Christ, when you worshiped idols—idols that could not even speak a word, and you may remember how worshiping those idols led you astray.

\v 15 How can Christ agree in any way with the Devil? What does a person who trusts in God have in common with some other person who does not trust in God?

\v 11 Our fellow believers defeated him because the Lamb had shed his blood and died for them
\q1 and because they spoke the truth about him to other people.
\q1 They did not seek to remain alive,
\q1 but were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
\v 27 All who come to participate in the Lord's supper should come to honor God in the way it is shared. Those who eat the bread and drink from the cup must do so in a manner that honors the Lord. Anyone who dishonors what the bread and the cup represent will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
\v 28 Therefore we should all examine ourselves before we participate in the Lord's supper. We should only eat the bread and drink from the cup after we have examined ourselves.
\v 29 God will judge anyone who eats and drinks this supper and does not consider what the Lord's body is.
