1 in Christ or in Christ Jesus (88 references) Romans 3:24 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Romans 6:11 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:1 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:2 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:39 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 9:1 9 I am speaking the truth in Christ I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit Romans 12:5 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Romans 15:17 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. Romans 16:3 3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, Romans 16:7 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. Romans 16:9 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys. Romans 16:10 10 Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. 1 Corinthians 1:2 2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 1 Corinthians 1:4 4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 1 Corinthians 1:30 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption. 1 Corinthians 3:1 3 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 1 Corinthians 4:10 10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 1 Corinthians 4:15 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

2 1 Corinthians 4:15 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 1 Corinthians 4:17 17 That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church. 1 Corinthians 15:18 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 1 Corinthians 15:19 19 If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:22 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:31 31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 1 Corinthians 16:24 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 2 Corinthians 1:21 21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 2 Corinthians 2:14 14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:17 17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:19 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 12:2 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 2 Corinthians 12:19 19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved. Galatians 1:22 22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. Galatians 2:4 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery Galatians 2:16 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

3 Galatians 2:16 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:17 17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! Galatians 3:14 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:26 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. Galatians 3:28 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 5:6 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. Ephesians 1:1 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 1:3 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:9 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ Ephesians 1:12 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:20 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, Ephesians 2:6 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:7 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:10 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:13 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 3:6 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Ephesians 3:11 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, Ephesians 3:21 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

4 Ephesians 4:32 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Philippians 1:1 1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: Philippians 1:26 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. Philippians 2:1 2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, Philippians 2:5 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, Philippians 3:3 3 For we are the real circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh Philippians 3:9 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith Philippians 3:14 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:21 21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. Colossians 1:2 2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. Colossians 1:4 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, Colossians 1:28 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. Colossians 2:5 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 2:14 14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

5 1 Timothy 1:14 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 3:13 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:1 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:9 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 2 Timothy 1:13 13 Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:1 2 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 2:10 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Timothy 3:12 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 2 Timothy 3:15 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Philemon 8 8 Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, Philemon Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ. Philemon Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, Hebrews 3:14 14 For we share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 1 Peter 3:16 16 yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 1 Peter 5:10 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:14 14 Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

6 In Him references (34) 1 Corinthians 1:5 5 that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge 2 Corinthians 1:19 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes. 2 Corinthians 1:20 20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 5:21 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 13:4 4 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. Ephesians 1:4 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. Ephesians 1:7 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, Ephesians 1:10 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Ephesians 1:11 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, Ephesians 1:13 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, Ephesians 2:22 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 3:12 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. Ephesians 4:21 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, Philippians 3:9 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith Colossians 1:17 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:19 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, Colossians 2:6 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

7 Colossians 2:7 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Colossians 2:9 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, Colossians 2:10 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. Colossians 2:11 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, Colossians 2:15 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 2 Thessalonians 1:12 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:5 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: 1 John 2:6 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:27 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie, just as it has taught you abide in him. 1 John 2:28 28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 1 John 3:6 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 1 John 3:9 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 1 John 3:24 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. 1 John 4:13 13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 4:15 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 5:20 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
