But Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. The Son can do nothing alone. The Son does only what he sees his Father doing. The Son does the same things that the Father does.
Then God said, “Now let’s make man. [6] We will make people as a copy of ourselves. People will be like us. They will rule over all the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. They will rule over all the large animals and all the little things that crawl on the earth.”
Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who can make a person deaf or not able to speak? Who can make a person blind? Who can make a person able to see? {I am the One who can do all these things—}I am YAHWEH. [33]
The Lord made you what you are.\par The Lord did this while you\par were still in your mother’s body.\par The Lord says,\par “I, the Lord, made everything!\par I put the skies there myself!\par I spread the earth before me.”\par
But I am the Lord,\par and I can look into a person’s heart.\par I can test a person’s mind.\par I can decide what each person should have.\par I can give each person the right payment\par for the things he does.\par
Then Jesus walked a little farther away from them. Jesus fell to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don’t give me this cup {\cf2\super [406]} \{of suffering\}. But do what you want, not what I want.”
No person takes my life away from me. I give my own life freely. I have the right to give my life. And I have the right to get it back again. This is what the Father told me.”
Do you truly believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The things I have told you don’t come from me. The Father lives in me, and he is doing his own work.
So Jesus said to them, “You will lift up (kill) the Son of Man. {\cf2\super [134]} Then you will know that I AM. {\cf2\super [135]} You will know that these things I do are not by my own authority (power). You will know that I say only the things that the Father has taught me.
So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were buried with Christ so that we could \{be raised up and\} live a new life. This happened the same as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father.
God raised Jesus from death. And if God’s Spirit is living in you, then he will also give life to your bodies that die. God is the One who raised Christ from death. And he will give life to your bodies through his Spirit that lives in you.
God raised the Lord Jesus from death. And we know that God will also raise us with Jesus. God will bring us together with you, and we will stand before him.
We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Each person will get what he should. Each person will be paid for the things he did—good or bad—when he lived in the earthly body.
We were \{spiritually\} dead. We were dead because of the things we did wrong against God. But God gave us new life with Christ. You have been saved by God’s grace (kindness).
I ask the Father with his great glory to give you the power to be strong in your spirits. He will give you that strength through his Spirit. {\cf2\super [26]}
He will change our humble bodies and make them like his own glorious body. Christ can do this by his power. With that power Christ is able to rule all things.
that God will strengthen you with his\par own great power;\par that God will strengthen you,\par so that you will be patient\par and not quit when troubles come.\par
Through his power all things were made—things in heaven and on earth, things seen and not seen, all \{spiritual\} powers, authorities, lords, and rulers. All things were made through Christ and for Christ.
Christ himself died for you. And that one death paid for your sins. He was not guilty, but he died for people who are guilty. He did this to bring you all to God. His body was killed, but he was made alive in the spirit.
I will also kill her followers. Then all the churches will know that I am the One who knows what people feel and think. And I will repay each of you for the things you have done.
