\v 7 Christ never told us another form of the good news, but other people are confusing you. They want to change the good news about Christ; they want you to believe that Christ actually said something different.
\s5
\v 8 But even if we apostles or an angel from heaven should tell you a form of the good news that is not the same as what we told you before, God should punish that person forever.
From Bob and Tom
\v 13 By becoming a curse for us, Christ rescued us from the curse that the law brings. Christ was cursed for us by dying on the cross; as the scripture says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
from Bob and Tom
\v 27 It is like what the prophet Isaiah wrote,
\q "Be glad, you women who have no children!
\q Shout out loud and cry out,
\q2 you who have never had labor pains!
\q You will have more children than
\q2 any woman with a husband could have borne."
\v 5 Test yourselves to be sure that you are living your lives by trusting in God. You should realize that Christ is in you. But if you are not trusting in God, then, of course, Christ is not in you.
Thanks to Susan and Bob
\v 12 As the human body is a union of many parts, and all parts of the body together make the whole, so it is with Christ.
Thanks to Bob Johnson for finding a more consistent syntax.

\v 2 You may recall that time before you were believers in Christ, when you worshiped idols—idols that could not even speak a word, and you may remember how worshiping those idols led you astray.
Tom Warren
\v 15 How can Christ agree in any way with the Devil? What does a person who trusts in God have in common with some other person who does not trust in God?

\v 11 Our fellow believers defeated him because the Lamb had shed his blood and died for them
\q1 and because they spoke the truth about him to other people.
\q1 They did not seek to remain alive,
\q1 but were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
\v 27 All who come to participate in the Lord's supper should come to honor God in the way it is shared. Those who eat the bread and drink from the cup must do so in a manner that honors the Lord. Anyone who dishonors what the bread and the cup represent will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
\v 28 Therefore we should all examine ourselves before we participate in the Lord's supper. We should only eat the bread and drink from the cup after we have examined ourselves.
\v 29 God will judge anyone who eats and drinks this supper and does not consider what the Lord's body is.
\v 14 There is a generation whose teeth are **like** swords,
\q and their jawbones are **like** knives,
\q so they may devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.

\v 11 Instead, I mean that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a fellow believer but is sexually immoral, or is greedy in matters of money, or worships idols, or uses abusive speech, or gets drunk, or cheats people. Do not even eat a meal with anyone like that!
Susan, Tom
\v 25 Now God is able to strengthen you spiritually by my proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ, which God did not reveal in any age before our own time.
\v 26 But now God has made it known by means of what the scriptures said would happen—so that all the people in all the nations of the world may believe in Christ and obey him.
\s5
\v 27 May God, who alone is wise, be praised forever because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. May it be so!
\v 11 We know this because God's words are written in the scriptures:
\q "I myself promise you that everyone will bow down before me,
\q and everyone will praise me."
