'In Christ' in the Bible

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who in Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly sphere!

so to order it in the fulness of the ages that all things in heaven and earth alike should be gathered up in Christ ??11 in the Christ in whom we have had our heritage allotted us (as was decreed in the design of him who carries out everything according to the counsel of his will),

to make us redound to the praise of his glory by being the first to put our hope in Christ.

together with Christ he raised and seated us within the heavenly sphere in Christ Jesus,

to display throughout ages to come his surpassing wealth of grace and goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action.

Whereas now, within Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are co-heirs, companions, and co-partners in the Promise.

in terms of the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever: Amen.

(for it is Christ whom you have been taught, it is in Christ that you have been instructed ??the real Christ who is in Jesus);

be kind to each other, be tender-hearted, be generous to each other as God has been generous to you in Christ.
