For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
