Yes and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.« ⁵² The Jews argued with one another saying: »How can this man give us his flesh to eat?« ⁵³ Jesus responded to them: »Truly I tell you if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life! I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ »For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ »He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him. ⁵⁷ »The living Father sent me and I live because of the Father.

Jesus said: »Does this cause you to stumble? ⁶² »What if you see the Son of man ascending where he was before? ⁶³ »It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life. ⁶⁴ »There are some of you who do not believe.« Jesus knew from the beginning whom they were who did not believe and who would betray him. ⁶⁵ He stated: »For this reason listen to what I say. No man can come to me, except it be given to him from the Father.« ⁶⁶ After this many of his disciples returned to their old ways. They did not walk with him anymore. ⁶⁷ Jesus asked the twelve: »Will you also go away?« ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him: »Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life! ⁶⁹ »We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.« ⁷⁰ Jesus replied: »Did I not choose you, the twelve?

²¹ But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. ²² God makes people righteous through their active faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all. ²³ For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God ²⁴ being justified freely by his grace (as a gift) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ God displayed Christ publicly as propitiation (atonement) by his blood through faith. It demonstrated his righteousness. It was through the forbearance of God that he passed by the sins that had taken place before. ²⁶ It showed his righteousness at this present season that he might himself be righteous, and the justifier of he who has faith in Jesus. ²⁷ Where is the boasting? It is excluded. Is it by law? Is it by works? No, it is by a principle of faith. ²⁸ We reason therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. ¹⁹ He preached to the people in prison. ²⁰ They were disobedient while the ark was being built. Yet God waited patiently in the days of Noah. But few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. ²¹ This was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you. It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God for a good conscience. It saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ²² He is in heaven at the right hand of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.

⁹ The love of God was made known through us. God sent his only-begotten Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) (sacrificial payment) for our sins.

²¹ The scribes and the Pharisees reasoned saying: »Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?« ²² Jesus perceived their reasoning and said to them: »Why do you reason in your hearts? ²³ »Which is easier to say your sins are forgiven or arise and walk? ²⁴ »So you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,« he said to the man who was paralyzed, »I say to you, arise, take up your bed and go to your house.« ²⁵ Immediately he rose up before them, took his bed and departed to his house, glorifying God.

⁴⁵ He opened their minds that they might understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ He said: »It is written that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day. ⁴⁷ »Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ »You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ »You see I send the promise of my Father upon you. You are to wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.«

⁸ By grace (Greek: charis, divine favor, loving-kindness) you have been saved through faith. It is not from you. It is the gift from God! ⁹ It is not the result of works. So no man should boast.

¹⁶ »For God loved the world so much, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever has an active faith in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

³⁸ Then Peter said: »Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁴ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach?

¹ Brothers, I declared the good news to you. You have received it and should continue strong in it. ² You will be saved through the good news if you hold fast to the word I preached to you. That way you will not believe in vain. ³ First of all, I delivered to you what I also received, how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. ⁴ He was buried, and he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. ⁵ He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. ⁶ More than five hundred brothers saw him at the same time after that. Most of them remain to this day, but some have fallen asleep [in death]. ⁷ Then he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all I also saw him, as of one with an untimely birth. ⁹ I am the least of the apostles and do not deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the people of God. ¹⁰ By the divine influence of God I am what I am. His grace was not given to me in vain for I labored more than all of them. Yet it was not I. It was the divine influence and favor of God in me. ¹¹ Therefore whether they preached or I preached, you believed. ¹² If we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is also without value. ¹⁵ We are found to be false witnesses of God because we have testified that God raised Christ from the dead. If he did not raise him up from the dead then the dead are not raised up. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised up then Christ has not been raised. ¹⁷ And if Christ is not resurrected, your faith is worth nothing, and you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (pitiable). ²⁰ Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who slept [in death]. ²¹ Death came because of what one man did. The resurrection of the dead also comes because of what one man did. ²² In Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. ²³ Everyone will be raised to life in the right order: Christ the first fruits and afterward those who belong to Christ at the time of his coming. ²⁴ In the end Christ will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. Christ will destroy every ruler and all authority and all power. ²⁵ For he (Christ) must rule as king until he (God) puts all enemies under his feet (his control). (Psalm 2; 110) (Daniel 2:44) (Revelation 5:10; 20:6) ²⁶ The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. (Revelation 20:14) ²⁷ According to the Scriptures: God has placed all things under his control (subjection). (Ephesians 1:22) But when he said all things are placed under him, it is with the exception of [God]. For [God] is the one who placed all things under him (Christ). (1 Peter 3:22) (John 3:35) ²⁸ When all things shall be subdued under the Son, then the Son will also be subjected to God who put all things under him, that God may be all in all (ruler over everything).

⁹ If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and have active faith in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes for righteousness. And with the mouth one declares for salvation. ¹¹ The scripture says: »No one believing on him shall be disappointed.« (Isaiah 28:16) ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. The same Lord (God) of all is abounding in riches for all who call on him. ¹³ »Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.« (Joel 2:32)

¹⁶ I am not ashamed of the good news; for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who exerts active faith (believes), to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
