of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no
difference:
Rom. 5:17 For if by one mans offence death reigned by
one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as by
the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life. 19 For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be

him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye
abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

BY HIS
BLOOD:

to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is
to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but
by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us.
Heb. 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is

of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb. 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he
hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me.

Col. 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God.
