But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Go! I am sending you out like lambs surrounded by wolves.

Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

“Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense that I now make to you.”

For just as it is written, “the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.

This is the reason I was often hindered from coming to you.

and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.

so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

I, Tertius, who am writing this letter, greet you in the Lord.

And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling.

I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready,

I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.

Some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
