Paul is marveled at how quickly the Galatians fell away from the Gospel of Christ. (Galatians 1:1-10)
Paul says the Gospel he preaches was revealed to him directly by Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:11-24)
Paul describes an instance when he rebuked Peter. (Galatians 2:1-15)
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Galatians 2:16-18
Paul condemns Galatians for disobeying the truth, which is Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:1-5)
Through Christ as we made the seed of Abraham and inheritors of his promise. (Galatians 3:6-29)
Christ had redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14
In accepting Christ, we are adopted as sons of Abraham. Paul proceeded to explain how we are children of the freewoman and not the bondwoman, referencing Ishmael & Jacob. (Galatians 4)
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Galatians 4:1-2
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Galatians 4:22-23
If believers remain in Christ, we will inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5)
In Christ Jesus, believers are made a new creature. Believers are supposed to look after and support everyone, but especially fellow believers. (Galatians 6)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6:7-8
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Galatians 5:22-24
Jesus Christ is in complete control of everything and is the king of kings. Believers in Christ will receive the riches of His glory, as it is the inheritance of the saints. (Ephesians 1)
Believers in the blood of Christ are invited into the kingdom of God. We are made no more strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with saints in the household of God. (Ephesians 2)
The Holy Spirit allows believers to decipher the mystery of Christ. (Ephesians 3)
Christ is the head of the church. Believers are the body of the church. The church is connected to Christ through the Holy Spirit, in which the church should aspire to be the Christ head. (Ephesians 4)
Workers of iniquity have no place in the kingdom of God. Through remaining in the purity of Christ, who is the light of the world, believers are able to endure until His glory is revealed. (Ephesians 5:1-21)
Regarding marriage, wives are to submit fully to their husbands and husbands are to love their wives as themselves, or as Christ hath loved us. (Ephesians 5:22-31)
Children should obey their parents as a servant his / her master. (Ephesians 6:1-9)
Paul describes an armor that can be used to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
