But when the right time came, 

God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.

God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law,

so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

Galatians 4:4-5

How foolish can you be?

After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit,

why are you now trying to become perfect

by your own human effort?

Galatians 3:3

…Christ lives in me.

So I live in this earthly body

by trusting in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

Jesus gave his life for our sins,

just as God our Father planned, 

in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.

Galatians 1:4

…Be joyful.

Grow to maturity.

Encourage each other. 

Live in harmony and peace…

2 Corinthians 13:11

Just as everyone dies

because we all belong to Adam,

everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.

But there is an order to this resurrection:

Christ was raised as the first of the harvest;

then all who belong to Christ will be raised 

when he comes back.

1 Corinthians 15:22-23

…Christ died for our sins,

just as the Scriptures said.

He was buried,

and he was raised from the dead on the third day,

just as the Scriptures said.

He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve.

After that,

he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time…

1 Corinthians 15:3-6

(Building in Wertheim, Germany built with smaller first floor because taxes were assessed on ground measurements) 

Now we see things imperfectly,

like puzzling reflections in a mirror,

but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.

All that I know now is partial and incomplete,

but then I will know everything completely,

just as God now knows me completely.

1 Corinthinans 13:12

(Stumbling stones in Wertheim, Germany)

Love never gives up,

never loses faith,

is always hopeful,

and endures through every circumstance.

1 Corinthians 13:7

Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.

It does not demand its own way.

It is not irritable,

and it keeps no record of being wronged.

It does not rejoice about injustice

but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

1 Corinthians 13:4-6
