ThereforeJesusansweredand was sayingto them, "Truly,truly,I sayto you, the Soncandonothingof Himself,unless[it is] somethingHe seesthe Fatherdoing;for whateverthe Fatherdoes,these thingsthe Sonalsodoesin like manner.
In the beginningGodcreatedthe heavensand the earth.
Then Godsaid,"Let Us makemanin Our image,according to Our likeness;and let them ruleover the fishof the seaand over the birdsof the skyand over the cattleand over allthe earth,and over everycreepingthingthat creepson the earth."
On the dayI called,You answeredme; You mademe boldwith strengthin my soul.
Waitfor the LORD;Be strongand let your hearttakecourage;Yes, waitfor the LORD.
And the heavensdeclareHis righteousness,For GodHimselfis judge.Selah.
The LORDsaidto him, "Whohas mademan'smouth?Orwhomakes[him] muteordeaf,orseeingorblind?Is it not I, the LORD?
For the LORDgiveswisdom;From His mouth[come] knowledgeand understanding.
Thussaysthe LORD,your Redeemer,and the one who formedyou from the womb,"I, the LORD,am the makerof allthings,Stretchingout the heavensby MyselfAnd spreadingout the earthallalone,
"They will sayof Me, 'Onlyin the LORDare righteousnessand strength.'Men will cometo Him, And allwho were angryat Him will be putto shame.
"I, the LORD,searchthe heart,I testthe mind,Even to giveto eachmanaccording to his ways,According to the resultsof his deeds.
And He wenta littlebeyond[them], and fellon His faceand prayed,saying,"My Father,ifit is possible,let thiscuppassfrom Me; yetnot as I will,but as You will."
for I will giveyou utteranceand wisdomwhichnoneof your opponentswill be ableto resistorrefute.
"No onehas taken it awayfrom Me, but I layit downon My own initiative.I haveauthorityto lay it down,and I haveauthorityto takeit up again.ThiscommandmentI receivedfrom My Father."
"For I did not speakon My own initiative,but the FatherHimselfwho sentMe has givenMe a commandment[as to] whatto sayand whatto speak.
"I knowthat His commandmentis eternallife;thereforethe things I speak,I speakjustas the Fatherhas toldMe."
"Do you not believethat I am in the Father,and the Fatheris in Me? The wordsthat I sayto you I do not speakon My own initiative,but the Fatherabidingin Me doesHis works.
Jesusansweredthem, "Destroythistemple,and in threedaysI will raiseit up."
Jesusansweredand saidto him, "Truly,truly,I sayto you, unlessoneis bornagainhe cannotseethe kingdomof God."
"For justas the Fatherraisesthe deadand givesthem life,evensothe Sonalsogives lifeto whomHe wishes.
"For I have come downfrom heaven,not to doMy ownwill,but the willof Him who sentMe.
SoJesussaid,"Whenyou liftup the Sonof Man,thenyou will knowthat I am[He], and I donothingon My own initiative,but I speakthese thingsas the FathertaughtMe.
"We mustworkthe worksof Him who sentMe as longas it is day;nightis comingwhenno onecanwork.
"But Godraised Him up again,putting an endto the agonyof death,sinceit was impossiblefor Him to be heldin its power.
Thereforewe have been buriedwith Him throughbaptisminto death,sothat as Christwas raisedfrom the deadthroughthe gloryof the Father,sowe toomight walkin newnessof life.
But ifthe Spiritof Him who raisedJesusfrom the deaddwellsin you, He who raisedChristJesusfrom the deadwill alsogive lifeto your mortalbodiesthroughHis Spiritwho dwellsin you.
NowifChristis preached,that He has been raisedfrom the dead,howdo someamongyou saythat there is noresurrectionof the dead?
knowingthat He who raisedthe LordJesuswill raiseus alsowith Jesusand will presentus with you.
For we mustallappearbeforethe judgment seatof Christ,sothat each onemay be recompensedfor his deeds in the body,accordingto whathe has done,whethergoodorbad.
evenwhen we were deadin our transgressions,made us alive togetherwith Christ(by graceyou have beensaved),
that He would grantyou, accordingto the richesof His glory,to be strengthenedwith powerthroughHis Spiritin the innerman,
whowill transformthe bodyof our humble stateinto conformitywith the bodyof His glory,by the exertionof the power that He hasevento subjectall thingsto Himself.
I can doall thingsthroughHim who strengthensme.
strengthenedwith allpower,accordingto His gloriousmight,for the attaining of allsteadfastnessand patience;joyously
For by Him allthingswere created,[both] in the heavensand on earth,visibleand invisible,whetherthronesordominionsorrulersorauthorities--all thingshave been createdthroughHim and for Him.
For ifwe believethat Jesusdiedand rose again,evensoGodwill bringwith Him thosewho have fallen asleepin Jesus.
For Christalsodiedfor sinsonce for all,[the] justfor [the] unjust,sothat He might bringus to God,having been put to deathin the flesh,but made alivein the spirit;
And I will killher childrenwith pestilence,and allthe churcheswill knowthat I amHe who searchesthe mindsand hearts;and I will giveto each oneof you accordingto your deeds.
