Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:7 - they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi' by others.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:16 - “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:18 - You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:20 - Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:21 - And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:22 - And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:30 - And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:34 - Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 23:39 - For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:18 - Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:19 - How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:26 - “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,' do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:38 - For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:40 - Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:41 - Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:45 - “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:48 - But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 24:50 - The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:4 - The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:16 - The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:31 - “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:36 - I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:39 - When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:43 - I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:44 - “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:5 - “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:6 - While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:13 - Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:23 - Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:29 - I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:31 - Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:33 - Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:34 - “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:52 - “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:55 - In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:69 - Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:12 - When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:29 - and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:40 - and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:56 - Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[fn] and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:59 - Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:18 - Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:2 - as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:3 - “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:4 - And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:5 - The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:8 - I baptize you with[fn] water, but he will baptize you with[fn] the Holy Spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:9 - At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:11 - And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:13 - and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted[fn] by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:15 - “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:16 - As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:19 - When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:20 - Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 1:23 - Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:1 - A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:6 - Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:8 - Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:15 - While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:19 - Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:20 - But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 2:23 - One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:22 - And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 3:23 - So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:1 - Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:2 - He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:4 - As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:11 - He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:17 - But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:24 - “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:28 - All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:30 - Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:35 - That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:36 - Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:38 - Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:2 - When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:3 - This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:5 - Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:13 - He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:20 - So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[fn] how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:21 - When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:25 - And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:27 - When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:30 - At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:2 - When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What's this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:3 - Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph,[fn] Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:4 - Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:14 - King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying,[fn] “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:17 - For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:27 - So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:29 - On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:32 - So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:47 - Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:48 - He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:51 - Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:56 - And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:1 - During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:3 - If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:14 - The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:27 - Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:38 - If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:1 - And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:29 - He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:33 - They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:34 - But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:36 - He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:38 - “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:41 - Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:50 - “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:21 - Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:30 - will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:32 - They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:37 - They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:43 - Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:44 - and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:52 - “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:9 - Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna![fn]” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:10 - “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:13 - Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:15 - On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:23 - “Truly[fn] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:27 - They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:28 - “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:29 - Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 11:33 - So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:1 - Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:11 - the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'[fn]?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:23 - At the resurrection[fn] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:25 - When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:26 - Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'[fn]?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:35 - While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:36 - David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” '[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:38 - As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:39 - and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:11 - Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:14 - “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation'[fn] standing where it[fn] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:17 - How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:24 - “But in those days, following that distress, “ ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:25 - the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:26 - “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:32 - “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:1 - Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:2 - “But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:3 - While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:6 - “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:25 - “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:49 - Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:66 - While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:7 - A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:29 - Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:40 - Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[fn] and Salome.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:41 - In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:46 - So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:5 - As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:12 - Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:17 - And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 16:18 - they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:1 - Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[fn] among us,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:5 - In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:6 - Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commands and decrees blamelessly.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:7 - But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:8 - Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:17 - And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:18 - Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:21 - Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:22 - When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:25 - “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:26 - In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:31 - You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:36 - Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:39 - At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:41 - When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:42 - In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:44 - As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:51 - He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:59 - On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:65 - All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:66 - Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord's hand was with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:69 - He has raised up a horn[fn] of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:75 - in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:77 - to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:78 - because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:79 - to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 1:80 - And the child grew and became strong in spirit[fn]; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:1 - In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:6 - While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:7 - and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:8 - And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:11 - Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:12 - This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 2:14 - “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:2 - “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:8 - Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:19 - The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:24 - A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:26 - But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:27 - For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:28 - You are those who have stood by me in my trials.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:30 - so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:37 - It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors'[fn]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:9 - He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:12 - That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:14 - and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:19 - (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:22 - For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:6 - He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:13 - Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[fn] from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:15 - As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:18 - One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:19 - “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:27 - And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:30 - When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:32 - They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:35 - Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:38 - He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:44 - He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:49 - I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:51 - While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:53 - And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:28 - This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:31 - I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:33 - And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:45 - Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:47 - When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:1 - On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:14 - In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:19 - Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:20 - They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:23 - Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:25 - He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:14 - Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:15 - that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:20 - Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:21 - “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:23 - Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:24 - God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:31 - Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:37 - Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:44 - (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:45 - When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:46 - Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:52 - When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:53 - Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:2 - Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[fn] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:3 - Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:5 - One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:7 - “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 - At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:13 - The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:14 - Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:16 - So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:26 - For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:28 - “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:35 - John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:38 - nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:39 - You study[fn] the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:42 - but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:43 - I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:10 - Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:31 - Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:39 - And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:40 - For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:44 - “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:45 - It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.'[fn] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:49 - Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:53 - Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:56 - Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:59 - He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:61 - Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:1 - After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[fn] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:4 - No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:9 - After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:10 - However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:11 - Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:18 - Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:22 - Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:23 - Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man's whole body on the Sabbath?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:28 - Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:37 - On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:43 - Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:3 - The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:5 - In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:9 - At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:17 - In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:20 - He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:21 - Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:24 - I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:31 - To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:35 - Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:37 - I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:44 - You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:3 - “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:5 - While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:16 - Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:30 - The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:34 - To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:19 - The Jews who heard these words were again divided.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:22 - Then came the Festival of Dedication[fn] at Jerusalem. It was winter,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:23 - and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon's Colonnade.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:25 - Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:34 - Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” '[fn]?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:38 - But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:6 - So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:9 - Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world's light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:10 - It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:17 - On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:20 - When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:24 - Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:30 - Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:31 - When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:38 - Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:54 - Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:56 - They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn't he coming to the festival at all?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:13 - They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna![fn]” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[fn] “Blessed is the king of Israel!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:20 - Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:25 - Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:35 - Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:46 - I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:48 - There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:1 - It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:23 - One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:31 - When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:32 - If God is glorified in him,[fn] God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:35 - By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:2 - My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:10 - Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:11 - Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:13 - And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:14 - You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:17 - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[fn] in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:20 - On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:26 - But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:30 - I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:2 - He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[fn] so that it will be even more fruitful.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:4 - Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:5 - “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:6 - If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:11 - Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:13 - But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:16 - While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:17 - So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:22 - Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:23 - For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:24 - “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:28 - ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.'[fn] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:31 - For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:34 - Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:4 - Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:9 - One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:10 - For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:11 - So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:18 - Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:24 - Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:26 - He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:1 - While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:9 - But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:16 - Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:21 - After all this had happened, Paul decided[fn] to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:39 - If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:5 - These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:7 - On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:8 - There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:10 - Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don't be alarmed,” he said. “He's alive!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:16 - Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, for he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:19 - I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:22 - “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:25 - “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:26 - Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:28 - Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[fn] which he bought with his own blood.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:32 - “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:11 - Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:19 - Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:20 - When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:27 - When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:29 - (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:34 - Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another, and since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:3 - “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:17 - “When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:18 - and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!' he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:6 - Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:9 - There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said. “What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:35 - he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers get here.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod's palace.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:12 - My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:14 - However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:16 - So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:18 - I was ceremonially clean when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:21 - unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:4 - Festus answered, “Paul is being held at Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:5 - Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:6 - After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court and ordered that Paul be brought before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:4 - “The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:7 - This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:10 - And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord's people in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:12 - “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:18 - to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:20 - First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:21 - That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:26 - The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:28 - Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:29 - Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:7 - We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:21 - After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:27 - On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic[fn] Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:31 - Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:37 - Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:7 - There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:9 - When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:11 - After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:18 - They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:30 - For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:2 - the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:4 - and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power[fn] by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:5 - Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from[fn] faith for his name's sake.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:6 - And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:7 - To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:8 - First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:9 - God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:10 - in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:12 - that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:13 - I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters,[fn] that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:15 - That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:17 - For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[fn] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:18 - The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:19 - since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:21 - For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:23 - and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:24 - Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:25 - They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:27 - In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:28 - Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:1 - You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:5 - But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:12 - All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:15 - They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:16 - This will take place on the day when God judges people's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:17 - Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:19 - if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:20 - an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:23 - You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:24 - As it is written: “God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:28 - A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:29 - No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:4 - Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:7 - Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:16 - ruin and misery mark their ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:19 - Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:24 - and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:25 - God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[fn] through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:10 - Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:11 - And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:12 - And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:2 - through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[fn] boast in the hope of the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:3 - Not only so, but we[fn] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:5 - And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:9 - Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:10 - For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:11 - Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:13 - To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:17 - For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:21 - so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:2 - By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:4 - We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:11 - In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:12 - Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[fn] Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:5 - For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[fn] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:6 - But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:8 - But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:17 - As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:18 - For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[fn] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:20 - Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:23 - but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:1 - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:2 - because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[fn] free from the law of sin and death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[fn] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[fn] And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:4 - in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:8 - Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:10 - But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[fn] because of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[fn] his Spirit who lives in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:15 - The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[fn] And by him we cry, “Abba,[fn] Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:23 - Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:34 - Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:37 - No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:39 - neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:1 - I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:7 - Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:17 - For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:25 - As he says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘my people' who are not my people; and I will call her ‘my loved one' who is not my loved one,”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:26 - and, “In the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,' there they will be called ‘children of the living God.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:33 - As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:5 - Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:6 - But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?' ”[fn] (that is, to bring Christ down)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:8 - But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[fn] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:9 - If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:20 - And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:5 - So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:17 - If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:3 - For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:4 - For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:5 - so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:7 - if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:8 - if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[fn] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:21 - Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[fn] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:13 - Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:5 - One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:14 - I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:18 - because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:21 - It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:22 - So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:5 - May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:6 - so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:9 - and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:16 - to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:17 - Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:19 - by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:23 - But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:26 - For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord's people in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:27 - They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:29 - I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:30 - I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:31 - Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord's people there,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:32 - so that I may come to you with joy, by God's will, and in your company be refreshed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:1 - I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[fn][fn] of the church in Cenchreae.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:2 - I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:3 - Greet Priscilla[fn] and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:7 - Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among[fn] the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:8 - Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:9 - Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:10 - Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:11 - Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:12 - Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:13 - Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:16 - Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:20 - The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:22 - I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:4 - I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:5 - For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:7 - Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:8 - He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[fn] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:11 - My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:17 - For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:30 - It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:31 - Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:2 - For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:3 - I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:4 - My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:5 - so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:6 - We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:7 - No, we declare God's wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:13 - This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:1 - Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:3 - You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:16 - Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:18 - Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[fn];
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:21 - So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:2 - Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:4 - My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:6 - Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:10 - We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:15 - Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:17 - For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:20 - For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:21 - What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:1 - It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father's wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:4 - So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:5 - hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[fn][fn] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:8 - Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:9 - I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:2 - Or do you not know that the Lord's people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:4 - Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:5 - I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:11 - And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 - you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:15 - But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:17 - Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:18 - Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:20 - Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:22 - For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord's freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ's slave.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:24 - Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:39 - A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:4 - So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:5 - For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, won't that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:11 - So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:1 - Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:2 - Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:9 - For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[fn] Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:15 - But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:18 - What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:24 - Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:2 - They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:5 - Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:25 - Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:11 - Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:13 - Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:18 - In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:19 - No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:22 - Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:23 - For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:25 - In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:30 - That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:34 - Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:3 - Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:6 - There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:9 - to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:13 - For we were all baptized by[fn] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:18 - But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:25 - so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:28 - And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:12 - For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:6 - Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:10 - Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:11 - If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:16 - Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[fn] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:19 - But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:21 - In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,

says the Lord.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:28 - If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:33 - For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:34 - Women[fn] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:35 - If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:1 - Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:3 - For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[fn]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:12 - But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:17 - And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:18 - Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:19 - If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:22 - For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:23 - But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:28 - When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:31 - I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:32 - If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:41 - The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:42 - So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:43 - it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:52 - in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:58 - Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:7 - For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:8 - But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:11 - No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:13 - Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:14 - Do everything in love.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:19 - The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla[fn] greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:20 - All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:24 - My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:4 - who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:6 - If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:8 - We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[fn] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:9 - Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity[fn] and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God's grace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:14 - as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:19 - For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas[fn] and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:22 - set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:1 - So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:10 - Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:12 - Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:15 - For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:17 - Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:2 - You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:3 - You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:8 - will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:11 - And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:14 - But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:2 - Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:3 - And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:4 - The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:6 - For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[fn] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:8 - We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:10 - We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:11 - For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:12 - So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:1 - For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:2 - Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:4 - For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:6 - Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:11 - Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:12 - We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[fn] The old has gone, the new is here!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:19 - that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:21 - God made him who had no sin to be sin[fn] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:2 - For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.”[fn] I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:3 - We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:4 - Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:5 - in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:6 - in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:7 - in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:12 - We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:16 - What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:1 - Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:5 - For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:6 - But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:9 - yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:11 - See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:14 - I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:16 - I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:1 - And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:2 - In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:7 - But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[fn]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - And here is my judgment about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:14 - At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:16 - Thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his service to the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:20 - We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:22 - In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:3 - But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:4 - For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:8 - And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:11 - You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:1 - By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:3 - For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:6 - And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:12 - We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:14 - We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:15 - Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:16 - so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else's territory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:17 - But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:6 - I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:10 - As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:12 - And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:17 - In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:21 - To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:23 - Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:25 - Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:26 - I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:27 - I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:32 - In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:33 - But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:2 - I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:3 - And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:5 - I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:10 - That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:12 - I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:19 - Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:3 - since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:4 - For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him in our dealing with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:5 - Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:12 - Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:6 - I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 - For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:14 - I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:16 - to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:22 - I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:24 - And they praised God because of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:2 - I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:4 - This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:17 - “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn't that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:5 - So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:8 - Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:10 - For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:11 - Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:12 - The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:14 - He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:19 - Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:26 - So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:14 - and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:19 - My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:25 - Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:10 - I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:1 - Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:6 - Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:12 - Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:13 - Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:14 - May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[fn] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:17 - From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God's holy people in Ephesus,[fn] the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:4 - For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:6 - to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:7 - In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:8 - that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:9 - he[fn] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:10 - to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:11 - In him we were also chosen,[fn] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:12 - in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:13 - And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:15 - For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:17 - I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[fn] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:18 - I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:20 - he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:21 - far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:23 - which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:2 - in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:3 - All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[fn] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:4 - But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:6 - And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:7 - in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:10 - For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:11 - Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:12 - remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:15 - by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:16 - and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:18 - For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:21 - In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:22 - And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:3 - that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:4 - In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:5 - which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:6 - This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:9 - and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:10 - His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:11 - according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:12 - In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:13 - I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:15 - from whom every family[fn] in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:17 - so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:20 - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:21 - to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:1 - As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:2 - Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:3 - Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:4 - There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:6 - one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:14 - Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:15 - Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:16 - From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:17 - So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:18 - They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:19 - Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:21 - when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:24 - and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:2 - and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:3 - But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:5 - For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:8 - For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:9 - (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:18 - Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:19 - speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:20 - always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:21 - Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:24 - Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:26 - to make her holy, cleansing[fn] her by the washing with water through the word,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:1 - Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:2 - “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:4 - Fathers,[fn] do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:5 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:9 - And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:10 - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:13 - Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:14 - Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:15 - and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:16 - In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:18 - And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:19 - Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:20 - for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:21 - Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:24 - Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:1 - Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons[fn]:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:4 - In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:6 - being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:7 - It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:8 - God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:9 - And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:13 - As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[fn] and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:14 - And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:18 - But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:20 - I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:22 - If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:24 - but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:26 - so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:27 - Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[fn] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:28 - without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:30 - since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:1 - Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:5 - In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:6 - Who, being in very nature[fn] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:7 - rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[fn] of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:10 - that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:12 - Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:13 - for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:15 - so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[fn] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:19 - I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:24 - And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:29 - So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:1 - Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:3 - For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:4 - though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:6 - as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:9 - and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in[fn] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:14 - I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:19 - Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:20 - But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:1 - Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:2 - I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:3 - Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:7 - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:9 - Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:10 - I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:11 - I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:12 - I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:13 - I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:15 - Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:16 - for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:19 - And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:21 - Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:2 - To God's holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters[fn] in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:4 - because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God's people—
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:5 - the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:6 - that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God's grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:8 - and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:9 - For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:10 - so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:11 - being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:12 - and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[fn] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:14 - in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:16 - For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:17 - He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:18 - And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:19 - For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:20 - and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:21 - Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[fn] your evil behavior.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:22 - But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:23 - if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:24 - Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:27 - To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:28 - He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:29 - To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:1 - I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:2 - My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:3 - in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:4 - I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:6 - So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:7 - rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:9 - For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:10 - and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:11 - In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[fn] was put off when you were circumcised by[fn] Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:12 - having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:13 - When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[fn] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:15 - And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:16 - Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:18 - Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:20 - Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:23 - Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:1 - Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:3 - For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:4 - When Christ, who is your[fn] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:7 - You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:11 - Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:15 - Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:16 - Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:17 - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:18 - Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:22 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:1 - Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:2 - Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:5 - Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:6 - Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:7 - Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant[fn] in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:12 - Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:13 - I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:15 - Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:16 - After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:17 - Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:1 - Paul, Silas[fn] and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:5 - because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:6 - You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:7 - And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:8 - The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:2 - We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:3 - For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:5 - You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:6 - We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:7 - Instead, we were like young children[fn] among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:13 - And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:14 - For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:17 - But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:19 - For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:1 - So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:2 - We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God's service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:3 - so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:8 - For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:13 - May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:1 - As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:4 - that each of you should learn to control your own body[fn] in a way that is holy and honorable,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:5 - not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:6 - and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[fn] The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:7 - For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:10 - And in fact, you do love all of God's family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:15 - According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:16 - For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:17 - After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:18 - Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:2 - for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:3 - While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:4 - But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:12 - Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:13 - Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:18 - give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:23 - May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:26 - Greet all God's people with a holy kiss.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:1 - Paul, Silas[fn] and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:4 - Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:7 - and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:10 - on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:11 - With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:12 - We pray this 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.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:6 - And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:9 - The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:10 - and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:13 - But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[fn] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:16 - May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:17 - encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:4 - We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:6 - In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching[fn] you received from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:7 - For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:8 - nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:11 - We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:12 - Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:16 - Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:17 - I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:2 - To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:3 - As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:4 - or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work—which is by faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:13 - Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:14 - The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:16 - But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:18 - Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:2 - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:7 - And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:8 - Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:9 - I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:11 - A woman[fn] should learn in quietness and full submission.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:12 - I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[fn] she must be quiet.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:14 - And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:15 - But women[fn] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:4 - He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[fn] respect.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:9 - They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:11 - In the same way, the women[fn] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:13 - Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:14 - Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:15 - if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:16 - Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[fn] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:1 - The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:2 - Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:14 - Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:15 - Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:2 - older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:10 - and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord's people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:17 - The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:17 - Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:18 - Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:3 - I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:5 - I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:6 - For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:9 - He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:13 - What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:14 - Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:15 - You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:17 - On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:18 - May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day! You know very well in how many ways he helped me in Ephesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:1 - You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:7 - Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:9 - for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:10 - Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:20 - In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:25 - Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:1 - But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:11 - persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:12 - In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:14 - But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:15 - and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:2 - Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:5 - But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:8 - Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:13 - When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:16 - At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:20 - Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:3 - and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:5 - The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[fn] elders in every town, as I directed you.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:6 - An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[fn] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:9 - He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:13 - This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:3 - Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:7 - In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:9 - Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:10 - and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:12 - It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:3 - At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:5 - he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:6 - I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:8 - Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:10 - that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus,[fn] who became my son while I was in chains.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:13 - I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:16 - no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:20 - I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:23 - Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:1 - In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:2 - but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:3 - The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:8 - and put everything under their feet.”[fn][fn] In putting everything under them,[fn] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[fn] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:12 - He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:18 - Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:2 - He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:5 - “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house,”[fn] bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:8 - do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:9 - where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:11 - So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:12 - See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:15 - As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:17 - And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:3 - Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.' ”[fn] And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:4 - For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:5 - And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:7 - God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:11 - Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:6 - And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:7 - During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:17 - Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:18 - God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:10 - because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:1 - Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:5 - They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:9 - It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them,

declares the Lord.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:13 - By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:2 - A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:4 - which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:22 - In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:23 - It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:25 - Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:3 - But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:7 - Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:10 - And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:12 - But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:19 - Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:22 - let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:29 - How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:32 - Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:38 - And, “But my righteous[fn] one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:2 - This is what the ancients were commended for.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:9 - By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:18 - even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:19 - Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:34 - quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:37 - They were put to death by stoning;[fn] they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:2 - fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:23 - to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:3 - Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:4 - Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:9 - Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:18 - Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:20 - Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:21 - equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:1 - James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:4 - Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:6 - But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:8 - Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:9 - Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:10 - But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:11 - For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:21 - Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:23 - Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:25 - But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:27 - Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:1 - My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:2 - Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:4 - have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:5 - Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:10 - For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:16 - If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:2 - We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:6 - The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:9 - With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:13 - Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:14 - But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:18 - Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:1 - What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:3 - When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:5 - Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[fn]?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:16 - As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:3 - Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:5 - You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:10 - Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:13 - Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:14 - Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:19 - My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:2 - who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:4 - and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:5 - who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:6 - In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:7 - These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:11 - trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:12 - It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:13 - Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:14 - As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:15 - But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:17 - Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:22 - Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:2 - Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:6 - For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:12 - Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:18 - Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:22 - “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:24 - “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:2 - when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:4 - Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:15 - But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:16 - keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:19 - After being made alive,[fn] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:20 - to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:22 - who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:2 - As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:3 - For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:4 - They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:11 - If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:12 - Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:13 - But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:14 - If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:16 - However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:19 - So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:1 - To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:2 - Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:6 - Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:9 - Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:10 - And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:13 - She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:14 - Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:1 - Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:2 - Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:4 - Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:5 - For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:6 - and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:7 - and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:12 - So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:13 - I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:18 - We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:19 - We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:1 - But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:3 - In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:7 - and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:8 - (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:10 - This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh[fn] and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:12 - But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:13 - They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:16 - But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:18 - For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:20 - If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:1 - Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:3 - Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:10 - But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:11 - Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:13 - But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:14 - So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:16 - He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:18 - But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:5 - This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:6 - If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[fn] sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:8 - If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:10 - If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:3 - We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:4 - Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:5 - But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[fn] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:6 - Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:8 - Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:9 - Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[fn] is still in the darkness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:10 - Anyone who loves their brother and sister[fn] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:11 - But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:14 - I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:15 - Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[fn] is not in them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:16 - For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:24 - As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:28 - And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:5 - But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:6 - No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:9 - No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:10 - This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:14 - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:15 - Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:16 - This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:17 - If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:18 - Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:19 - This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:24 - The one who keeps God's commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:2 - This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:3 - but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:4 - You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:9 - This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:10 - This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:12 - No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:13 - This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:15 - If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:16 - And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:17 - This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:18 - There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:2 - This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:6 - This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:10 - Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:11 - And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:19 - We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:20 - We know also 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 by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:1 - The elder, To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth—
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:2 - because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:3 - Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:4 - It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:6 - And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:7 - I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:9 - Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:1 - The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:3 - It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:4 - I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:1 - Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for[fn] Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:10 - Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:12 - These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:14 - Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:20 - But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:21 - keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:23 - save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:24 - To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:1 - The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:3 - Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:4 - John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[fn] before his throne,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:5 - and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:9 - I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:10 - On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:13 - and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,[fn] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:15 - His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:16 - In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:1 - “To the angel[fn] of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:7 - Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:8 - “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:13 - I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:16 - Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:18 - “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:24 - Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:27 - that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery'[fn]—just as I have received authority from my Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:1 - “To the angel[fn] of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[fn] of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:4 - Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:5 - The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:2 - At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:4 - Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:6 - Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:2 - And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:3 - But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:6 - Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[fn] of God sent out into all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:9 - And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:5 - When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:8 - I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:9 - After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:14 - I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:7 - The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:13 - As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:17 - The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:19 - The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:20 - The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:2 - He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:8 - Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:9 - So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:10 - I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:1 - I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:6 - They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:12 - Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:13 - At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:15 - The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:19 - Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:1 - A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:2 - She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:3 - Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:5 - She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[fn] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:7 - Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:8 - But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:10 - Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:12 - Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:6 - It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:8 - All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:10 - “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed[fn] with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”[fn] This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:12 - It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:2 - And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:5 - No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:6 - Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:7 - He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:9 - A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:10 - they, too, will drink the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:13 - Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:14 - I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[fn] with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:15 - Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:17 - Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:1 - I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God's wrath is completed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 15:5 - After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law—and it was opened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:3 - The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:8 - The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:3 - Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:4 - The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:16 - The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:2 - With a mighty voice he shouted: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!'[fn] She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:6 - Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:7 - Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow;[fn] I will never mourn.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:8 - Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:16 - and cry out: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:19 - They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!'
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:22 - The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
