Encouragement
And I (Believers) thank Christ Jesus, Our Lord, who has enabled me (Believers), because He (Jesus Christ) counted me (Believers) Faithful, putting me (Believers) into The Ministry, although I (Believers) was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man (Yet-To-Be-Believers); but I (Believers) obtained Mercy, because I (Believers) did it ignorantly, in unbelief. And The Grace of Our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with Faith and Love, which are in Christ Jesus. This is a Faithful saying and worthy of All Acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the World to Save sinners, of whom I (Believers) am chief. However, for this reason I (Believers) obtained Mercy, that in me (Believers) first, Jesus Christ might show All Longsuffering, as a pattern to those (Yet-To-Be-Believers) who are going to Believe on Him (Jesus Christ) for Everlasting Life. Now to The King (Jesus Christ), Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, to God (God Almighty), who alone is Wise, be Honor and Glory, Forever and ever. Amen.
There is therefore now, NO condemnation to those (Believers) who are in Christ Jesus, who do NOT walk according to the flesh, but according to The Spirit. For The Law of The Spirit of Life, in Christ Jesus, has made me (Believers) free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could NOT do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God (God Almighty) did by sending His Own Son (Jesus Christ) in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He (God Almighty) condemned sin in the flesh, that The Righteous Requirement of The Law, might be fulfilled in Us (Believers) who do NOT walk according to the flesh, but according to The Spirit. For those (Unbelievers) who live according to the flesh, set their (Unbelievers) minds on the things of the flesh, but those (Believers) who live According to The Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded (Unbelievers) is death, but to be Spiritually Minded (Believers) is Life and Peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God (God Almighty); for it is NOT subject to The Law of God (God Almighty), nor indeed can be. So then, those (Unbelievers) who are in the flesh, cannot please God (God Almighty). But YOU (Believers) are NOT in the flesh, but in The Spirit, if indeed The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) of God (God Almighty) dwells in YOU (Believers). Now if anyone (Unbelievers) does NOT have The Spirit of Christ, he (Unbelievers) is NOT His (God Almighty’s). And if Christ (Jesus Christ) is in YOU (Believers), the body is dead because of sin, but The Spirit is Life, because of Righteousness. But if The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) of Him (God Almighty) who Raised Jesus (Jesus Christ) from the dead, dwells in YOU (Believers), He (God Almighty) who Raised Christ (Jesus Christ) from the dead, will also give Life to your mortal bodies, through His Spirit (The Holy Spirit), who dwells in YOU (Believers).
Therefore, Brethren (Believers), We (Believers) are debtors, NOT to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if YOU (Believers) live according to the flesh YOU (Believers) will die; but if by The Spirit, YOU (Believers) put to death the deeds of the body, YOU (Believers) will Live. For as many as are led by The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) of God (God Almighty), these are Sons of God (God Almighty). For YOU (Believers) did NOT receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but YOU (Believers) Received The Spirit of Adoption, by whom We (Believers) cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) Himself bears Witness with Our Spirit, that We (Believers) are Children of God (God Almighty), and if Children, then Heirs, Heirs of God (God Almighty) and Joint Heirs with Christ (Jesus Christ), if indeed We (Believers) suffer with Him (Jesus Christ), that We (Believers) may also be Glorified Together.
Fellow Believers, may these words from God Almighty, give YOU comfort, but also encourage YOU, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to lead people to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So, they (Yet-To-Be-Believers) may come to acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, as We (Believers) have.
