Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain Be lifted up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
Do you discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?
If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are.
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
You were bought with the price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
But [that appointed time came] when Christ (the Messiah appeared as a High Priest of the better things that have come and are to come. [Then] through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made of the [human] ands, that is, not a part of this material creation.
He went once for all into the [Holy of] Holies [of heaven], not by virtue of the blood of goats and calves [by which to make reconciliation between God and man], but His own blood, having found and secured a complete redemption ( an everlasting release for us).
For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him.
But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man].
For if many died through one man's falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of ] many.

And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, and who had endured much suffering under [the hands of ] many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was no better but instead grew worse.
She had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment, for she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.
And immediately her flow of blood was dried up at the source and [suddenly] she felt in her body that she was healed of her [distressing] ailment.
Is anyone among you sick?
He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with the oil in the Lord's name.
And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, 'Lord, help me!'
And He answered, 'It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.'
She said, 'Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups (little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] master's table.'
Then Jesus answered her, 'O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish.'
And her daughter was cured from that moment.
And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit (a demon of sickness). She was bent completely forward and utterly unable to straighten herself up or to look upward.
And when Jesus saw her, He called [her to Him] and said to her, Woman, you are released from your infirmity!
Then He laid [His] hands on her, and instantly she was made straight, and she recognized and thanked and praised God.
