Jhn 6:44 - For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 6:45

Jhn 6:45 - As it is written in the Scriptures,[fn] ‘They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 6:54

Jhn 6:54 - But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.

Unchecked Copy Box Jhn 6:64

Jhn 6:64 - But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn't believe, and he knew who would betray him.)

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 1:15

Gal 1:15 - But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 1:23

Gal 1:23 - All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!”

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 2:3

Gal 2:3 - And they supported me and did not even demand that my companion Titus be circumcised, though he was a Gentile.[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 2:6

Gal 2:6 - And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 2:8

Gal 2:8 - For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:5

Gal 3:5 - I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:8

Gal 3:8 - What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:11

Gal 3:11 - So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:12

Gal 3:12 - This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:13

Gal 3:13 - But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:17

Gal 3:17 - This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:18

Gal 3:18 - For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:19

Gal 3:19 - Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:20

Gal 3:20 - Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:21

Gal 3:21 - Is there a conflict, then, between God's law and God's promises?[fn] Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 3:24

Gal 3:24 - Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:1

Gal 4:1 - Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:4

Gal 4:4 - But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:6

Gal 4:6 - And because we[fn] are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”[fn]

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:15

Gal 4:15 - Where is that joyful and grateful spirit you felt then? I am sure you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:23

Gal 4:23 - The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God's promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God's own fulfillment of his promise.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:29

Gal 4:29 - But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Gal 4:30

Gal 4:30 - But what do the Scriptures say about that? “Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman's son.”[fn]

Gal 5:10 - I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
