Jesus

But the fact is that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have died.

For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive.

But each in his own order: the Messiah is the firstfruits; then those who belong to the Messiah, at the time of his coming;

then the culmination, when he hands over the Kingdom to God the Father, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power.

For he has to rule until he puts all his enemies under his feet.

for “He put everything in subjection under his feet.” But when it says that “everything” has been subjected, obviously the word does not include God, who is himself the one subjecting everything to the Messiah.

Now when everything has been subjected to the Son, then he will subject himself to God, who subjected everything to him; so that God may be everything in everyone.

Brothers, by the right to be proud which the Messiah Yeshua our Lord gives me, I solemnly tell you that I die every day.

The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

So, my dear brothers, stand firm and immovable, always doing the Lord’s work as vigorously as you can, knowing that united with the Lord your efforts are not in vain.

Every week, on Motza’ei-Shabbat, each of you should set some money aside, according to his resources, and save it up; so that when I come I won’t have to do fundraising.

For I don’t want to see you now, when I am only passing through; because I am hoping to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows it.

If Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to be afraid of while he is with you; for he is doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.

The congregations in the province of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in union with the Lord, as does the congregation that meets in their house.

If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse on him! Marana, ta! [Our Lord, come!]

May the grace of the Lord Yeshua be with you.

My love is with you all, in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

From: Sha’ul, by God’s will an emissary of the Messiah Yeshua, and brother Timothy To: God’s Messianic community in Corinth, along with all God’s people throughout Achaia:

Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, compassionate Father, God of all encouragement and comfort;

For just as the Messiah’s sufferings overflow into us, so through the Messiah our encouragement also overflows.

He rescued us from such deadly peril, and he will rescue us again! The one in whom we have placed our hope will indeed continue to rescue us.

as indeed you have already understood us in part; so that on the Day of our Lord Yeshua you can be as proud of us as we are of you.

For the Son of God, the Messiah Yeshua, who was proclaimed among you through us — that is, through me and Sila and Timothy — was not a yes-and-no man; on the contrary, with him it is always “Yes!”
