Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:9 - And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[fn] your own traditions!

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:17 - Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:26 - Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don't even go into[fn] the village.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:35 - For whoever wants to save their life[fn] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:23 - Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:24 - The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[fn] to enter the kingdom of God!
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:25 - It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:14 - They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[fn] to Caesar or not?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:15 - Should we pay or shouldn't we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:14 - There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:20 - For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:23 - They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:31 - He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
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 1:23 - 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 1:25 - 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 1:26 - Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
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 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 2:20 - 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 3:3 - What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:5 - But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)
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 3:25 - 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 4:9 - Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.
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 4:16 - Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:19 - Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:20 - Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:25 - He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
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 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
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 5:17 - 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 6:19 - I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:7 - What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:14 - We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
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 8:18 - I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:19 - For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:21 - that[fn] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
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 8:36 - As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[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 9:30 - What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:3 - Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
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 10:7 - “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?' ”[fn] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:18 - But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:21 - But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:3 - “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[fn]?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:13 - I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:14 - in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:18 - do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:28 - As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:1 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
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 12:6 - We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[fn] faith;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:13 - Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:20 - On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:4 - For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:5 - Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:7 - Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:6 - Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:4 - For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:15 - Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:24 - I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:28 - So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:1 - I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[fn][fn] of the church in Cenchreae.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:5 - Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.
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 16:15 - Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord's people who are with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:17 - I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:22 - I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
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 1:19 - For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:20 - Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:26 - Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
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 3:10 - By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:19 - But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:7 - Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 - Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:5 - Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:16 - How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:26 - Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:36 - If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong[fn] and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.
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 7:40 - In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:12 - When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:1 - For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:13 - No temptation[fn] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[fn] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[fn] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:25 - Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:27 - If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:29 - I am referring to the other person's conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:4 - Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:5 - But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:7 - A man ought not to cover his head,[fn] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:9 - neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:24 - and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
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 13:2 - If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:1 - Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.
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 14:12 - So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:9 - For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:24 - Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
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 15:49 - And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[fn] bear the image of the heavenly man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:50 - I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:3 - Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:15 - You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the Lord's people. I urge you, brothers and sisters,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:16 - I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:23 - I call God as my witness—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:4 - For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:9 - Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
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 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 3:15 - Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:18 - And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[fn] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:1 - Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
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 4:15 - All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:18 - All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:1 - As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:13 - As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.
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 7:12 - So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling.
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 8:4 - they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:6 - So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
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 8:17 - For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:19 - What is more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us as we carry the offering, which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:24 - Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you, so that the churches can see it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:2 - For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:5 - So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:14 - And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:5 - We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:8 - I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
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 11:32 - In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:13 - How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:9 - We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:10 - This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
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 1:23 - They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
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 2:9 - James, Cephas[fn] and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:14 - When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”[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 3:17 - What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:23 - Before the coming of this faith,[fn] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:5 - to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.[fn]
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 4:30 - But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:13 - You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[fn]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:24 - Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:8 - Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:5 - he[fn] predestined us for adoption to sonship[fn] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—
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 1:9 - he[fn] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:11 - 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 1:15 - 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 1:19 - and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:4 - But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
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 3:2 - Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you,
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 3:7 - I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:12 - In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:19 - and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
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 4:3 - Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:13 - until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
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 4:16 - 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 4:18 - 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 4:22 - You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:25 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:27 - and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:28 - In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:29 - After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:31 - “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:32 - This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:2 - “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
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 6:11 - Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
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 6:17 - Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:4 - In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
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 1:23 - I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:25 - Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:2 - then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
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 2:22 - But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:2 - Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh.
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 3:10 - I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:11 - and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:21 - who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
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 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 1:12 - 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 1:13 - For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:14 - in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:25 - I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:29 - To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:5 - For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:8 - See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[fn] of this world rather than on Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:19 - They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:5 - Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:14 - And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:24 - since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
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 4:11 - Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews[fn] among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me.
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 1:4 - For we know, brothers and sisters[fn] loved by God, that he has chosen you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:1 - You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:12 - encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:5 - For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:6 - But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:11 - Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.
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 5:27 - I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.
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 2:10 - 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 3:5 - May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
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 3:16 - 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 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 1:16 - 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 1:19 - holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:2 - Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:3 - They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:8 - Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:12 - Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:5 - and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:12 - Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:13 - In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:14 - to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:20 - Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:21 - which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all.
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 1:9 - 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 1:12 - That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
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 1:16 - May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:18 - who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:19 - Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:5 - having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:8 - Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:1 - In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:3 - For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:4 - They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
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 4:7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
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 4:18 - The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
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 1:14 - and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.
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 2:13 - while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:5 - because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:9 - yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:6 - And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God's angels worship him.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:10 - He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:4 - God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:5 - It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:6 - But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
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 3:11 - So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:14 - We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:18 - And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:1 - Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
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 4:5 - And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:10 - for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works,[fn] just as God did from his.
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 5:4 - And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.
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 5:8 - Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:10 - and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:14 - But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:1 - Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[fn] and of faith in God,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:11 - We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:20 - where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:5 - Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:11 - If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:15 - And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:17 - For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:21 - but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever.' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:24 - but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
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 8:10 - This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
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 9:4 - 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 9:6 - When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:7 - But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:8 - The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:13 - The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:14 - How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[fn] so that we may serve the living God!
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:15 - For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:21 - In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:1 - The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
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 10:23 - Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:25 - not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:26 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:34 - You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:35 - So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:36 - You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
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 11:10 - For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:26 - He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:28 - By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:29 - By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:35 - Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:39 - These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:4 - In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:17 - Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:26 - At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:27 - The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:7 - Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
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 13:14 - For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:1 - My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:3 - If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here's a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,”
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:8 - If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[fn] you are doing right.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:18 - But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:8 - but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:13 - Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:11 - As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:12 - Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
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 1:21 - Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
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 2:15 - For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:16 - Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:17 - Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:2 - when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:10 - For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
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 4:1 - Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
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 4:8 - Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:5 - In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[fn]
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 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
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 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 1:8 - For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:10 - Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[fn] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:11 - and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:15 - And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:16 - For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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 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]
