triumph

¹⁴But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.

¹Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²For through him we also have access by faith to this grace, in which we stand firm, and to glory, in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. ³And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience, ⁴and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope, ⁵but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. ⁶Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?

⁹But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

¹⁵And so, despoiling principalities and powers, he has led them away confidently and openly, triumphing over them in himself.

⁷In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,

²⁴Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh.

⁸For you were darkness, in times past, but now you are light, in the Lord. So then, walk as sons of the light.

¹Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.

¹⁹And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

³³These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”
