Unchecked Copy BoxMat 25:40 - “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:1 - When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:2 - “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:10 - Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:14 - Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:18 - He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' ”

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 26:24 - The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:25 - Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:26 - While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
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 26:35 - But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:36 - Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:45 - Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:46 - Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:48 - Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:50 - Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[fn] Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
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 26:58 - But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:62 - Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:63 - But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:64 - “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:65 - Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:68 - and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:70 - But he denied it before them all. “I don't know what you're talking about,” he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 26:75 - Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:3 - When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:8 - That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:11 - Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:13 - Then Pilate asked him, “Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:15 - Now it was the governor's custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:17 - So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:21 - “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:22 - “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:23 - “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:24 - When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man's blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:25 - All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”
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 27:37 - Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:46 - About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[fn] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:50 - And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:58 - Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:59 - Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 27:63 - “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.'

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 28:5 - The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

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 6:18 - For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:22 - When the daughter of[fn] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 6:37 - But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year's wages[fn]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

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 8:32 - He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 8:33 - But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:12 - Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:15 - As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:19 - “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:21 - Jesus asked the boy's father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:23 - “ ‘If you can'?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:24 - Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:25 - When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:27 - But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
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 9:39 - “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,

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 10:22 - At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
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 10:36 - “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:38 - “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:39 - “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:42 - Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:45 - For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:46 - Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:47 - When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:48 - Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:50 - Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 10:51 - “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
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 11:6 - They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.
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 11:21 - Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

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 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 12:37 - David himself calls him ‘Lord.' How then can he be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 12:41 - Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:2 - “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:5 - Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:16 - Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:19 - because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:21 - At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘Look, there he is!' do not believe it.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 13:28 - “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:18 - While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:20 - “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:21 - The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:22 - While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:27 - “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:29 - Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:30 - “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[fn] you yourself will disown me three times.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:31 - But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:36 - “Abba,[fn] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:41 - Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:42 - Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:44 - Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:48 - “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:52 - he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:54 - Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:60 - Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:61 - But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:62 - “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:63 - The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:68 - But he denied it. “I don't know or understand what you're talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:70 - Again he denied it. After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:71 - He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don't know this man you're talking about.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 14:72 - Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[fn] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[fn] you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:4 - So again Pilate asked him, “Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:5 - But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:9 - “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:12 - “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:14 - “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:15 - Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:29 - The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:31 - The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:33 - Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:34 - For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God[fn] gives the Spirit without limit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:35 - The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:36 - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:1 - Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:6 - Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:7 - When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:10 - Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:13 - Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:16 - He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:17 - “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
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 4:25 - The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:26 - Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:29 - “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:32 - But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:34 - “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:35 - Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:36 - Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:37 - Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:42 - They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:44 - (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:46 - 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 4:48 - “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:49 - The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:50 - “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:51 - While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.
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 4:54 - This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:1 - Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:6 - When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
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 5:8 - Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
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 5:11 - But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:12 - So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
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 5:15 - The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:17 - In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:19 - Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:20 - For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:21 - For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:22 - Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:23 - that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:24 - “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
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 5:32 - There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.
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 5:36 - “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:37 - And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:45 - “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:1 - Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias),
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:3 - Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:5 - When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:8 - Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,
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 6:11 - Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:14 - After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:17 - where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:20 - But he said to them, “It is I; don't be afraid.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:22 - The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:24 - Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:26 - Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:27 - Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:29 - Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:32 - Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:33 - For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:35 - Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:37 - All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
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 6:41 - At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:42 - They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:43 - “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.
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 6:46 - No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:47 - Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:48 - I am the bread of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:50 - But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:51 - I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
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 6:54 - Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:56 - Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:57 - Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:58 - This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:60 - On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:61 - Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:64 - Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:67 - “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:69 - We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:70 - Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
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 7:6 - Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:7 - The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:8 - You go to the festival. I am not[fn] going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:14 - Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:16 - Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
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 7:20 - “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:21 - Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
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 7:26 - Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:27 - But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
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 7:33 - Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:36 - What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and ‘Where I am, you cannot come'?”
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 7:38 - Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:40 - On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:41 - Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:42 - Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David's descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:46 - “No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:49 - No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:50 - Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:51 - “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:2 - At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:6 - They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
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 8:10 - Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:11 - “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
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 8:16 - But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:18 - I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:19 - Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
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 8:25 - “Who are you?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:26 - “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:28 - So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[fn] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:29 - The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
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 8:34 - Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
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 8:36 - So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
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 8:39 - “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham's children,” said Jesus, “then you would[fn] do what Abraham did.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:42 - Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.
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 8:47 - Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:50 - I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:54 - Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:56 - Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:58 - “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
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 9:8 - His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
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 9:15 - Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
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 9:17 - Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:19 - “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:20 - “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:24 - A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:29 - We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don't even know where he comes from.”
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 9:31 - We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:35 - Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:37 - Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:38 - Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:39 - Jesus said,[fn]“For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:41 - Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:1 - “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:2 - The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:3 - The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:6 - Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:7 - Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:11 - “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:12 - The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:13 - The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:14 - “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:15 - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:17 - The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:23 - and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon's Colonnade.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:24 - The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
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 10:29 - My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[fn]; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:30 - I and the Father are one.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:32 - but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone 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 10:35 - If he called them ‘gods,' to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:36 - what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God's Son'?
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 11:2 - (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:4 - When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:5 - Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
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 11:11 - After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:13 - Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:14 - So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:16 - Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[fn]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
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 11:21 - “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:22 - But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:23 - Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:25 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:26 - and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:27 - “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
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 11:32 - When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:35 - Jesus wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:37 - But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:39 - “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:40 - Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:41 - So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:44 - The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:45 - Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:46 - But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:47 - Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:51 - He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:2 - Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:4 - But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:7 - “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:12 - The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
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 12:14 - Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:15 - “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:16 - At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:17 - Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:18 - Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:19 - So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:23 - Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:24 - Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
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 12:26 - Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:29 - The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:30 - Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:31 - Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:34 - The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this ‘Son of Man'?”
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 12:36 - Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:38 - This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:45 - The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.
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 12:49 - For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:50 - I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
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 13:3 - Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:8 - “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:10 - Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:14 - Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:20 - Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:21 - After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:23 - One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:26 - Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:27 - As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:29 - Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.
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 13:36 - Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:37 - Peter asked, “Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:38 - Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:6 - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:9 - Jesus answered: “Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'?
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 14:12 - Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
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 14:17 - 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 14:19 - Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:21 - Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:22 - Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:23 - Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:24 - Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
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 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:28 - “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
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 14:31 - but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:1 - “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
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 15:8 - This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:9 - “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:15 - I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:16 - You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:18 - “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:19 - If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:23 - Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:25 - But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:26 - “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:2 - They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:7 - But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:11 - and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:15 - All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:19 - Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:20 - Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:27 - No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:31 - “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:32 - “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:1 - After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:12 - While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[fn] that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:14 - I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:17 - Sanctify them by[fn] the truth; your word is truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:21 - that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:23 - I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:25 - “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:1 - When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:2 - Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:3 - So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:5 - “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:8 - Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:9 - This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:11 - Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:12 - Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:14 - Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:15 - Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:16 - but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:18 - It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:20 - “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:23 - “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:24 - Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:27 - Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:29 - So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:31 - Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:32 - This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:33 - Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:34 - “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:35 - “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:36 - Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:37 - “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:38 - “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:40 - They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:1 - Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:3 - and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:4 - Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:5 - When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:6 - As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:8 - When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:9 - and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:10 - “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:11 - Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:12 - From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:14 - It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:15 - But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:19 - Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:20 - Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:22 - Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:26 - When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[fn] here is your son,”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:27 - and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:28 - Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:30 - When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:35 - The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:38 - Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:39 - He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:2 - So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:3 - So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:4 - Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:8 - Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:14 - At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:15 - He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:17 - Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:19 - On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:21 - Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:24 - Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[fn]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:25 - So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:26 - A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:28 - Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:29 - Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:30 - Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:31 - But these are written that you may believe[fn] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:1 - Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[fn] It happened this way:
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:2 - Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[fn]), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:4 - Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:5 - He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:6 - He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:7 - Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:10 - Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:12 - Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:13 - Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:14 - This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:15 - When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:17 - The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:20 - Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:21 - When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:22 - Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”

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 19:26 - And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:33 - The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front, and they shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defense before the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:35 - The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:1 - When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia.
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 20:10 - 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 21:13 - Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:18 - The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present.
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 21:26 - The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:28 - shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
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 21:33 - The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:37 - As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:38 - “Aren't you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness some time ago?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:39 - Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:40 - After receiving the commander's permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic[fn]:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:5 - as the high priest and all the Council can themselves testify. I even obtained letters from them to their associates in Damascus, and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:8 - “ ‘Who are you, Lord?' I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' he replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:10 - “ ‘What shall I do, Lord?' I asked. “ ‘Get up,' the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:14 - “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:24 - the commander ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be flogged and interrogated in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:25 - As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:26 - When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:27 - The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes, I am,” he answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:28 - Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.” “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:29 - Those who were about to interrogate him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:1 - Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:2 - At this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:3 - Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:5 - Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.'[fn]
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 23:10 - The dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them. He ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force and bring him into the barracks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:11 - The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:16 - But when the son of Paul's sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:17 - Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:18 - So he took him to the commander. The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner, sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:19 - The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside and asked, “What is it you want to tell me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:22 - The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don't tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:34 - The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:1 - Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:2 - When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:10 - When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:22 - Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way, adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 - Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:25 - As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, “That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:27 - When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:2 - where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders appeared before him and presented the charges against Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:4 - Festus answered, “Paul is being held at Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:9 - Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:10 - Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar's court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:12 - After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:13 - A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:14 - Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul's case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:16 - “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:19 - Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:23 - The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high-ranking military officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:24 - Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:1 - Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” So Paul motioned with his hand and began his defense:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:8 - Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:15 - “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?' “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:23 - that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:24 - At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:25 - “I am not insane, most excellent Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable.
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 26:30 - The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:31 - After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:32 - Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:3 - The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:6 - There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:9 - Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement.[fn] So Paul warned them,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:11 - But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:14 - Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.
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 27:24 - and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'
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 27:33 - Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven't eaten anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:43 - But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:4 - When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:5 - But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:8 - His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:15 - The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:16 - When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
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 1:9 - 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 1:19 - since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
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 1:26 - Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:28 - 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 2:3 - So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
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 2:21 - you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:22 - You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
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 3:5 - 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 3:6 - Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:11 - there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:13 - “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”[fn] “The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[fn]
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 3:25 - 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 3:29 - Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:30 - since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:4 - Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:6 - David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
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 4:15 - because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
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 5:12 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:14 - Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
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 6:6 - For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[fn] that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:7 - because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:1 - Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:2 - For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:3 - So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
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 7:12 - So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
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 8:2 - 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 8:11 - 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 8:27 - And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:31 - What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:33 - Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
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 9:5 - Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised![fn] Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:6 - It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:9 - For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:20 - But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?' ”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:21 - Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
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 9:27 - Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
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 10:9 - 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 10:11 - As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:12 - For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
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 11:1 - I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
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 11:4 - And what was God's answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:8 - as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:21 - For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:23 - And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:26 - and in this way[fn] all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:32 - For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
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 12:5 - 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 12:20 - 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 13:2 - Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:8 - Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:2 - One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:3 - The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:4 - Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
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 14:15 - If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
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 14:23 - But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:3 - For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[fn]
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 15:7 - Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:12 - And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.”[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 15:33 - The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
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 16:21 - Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:22 - I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:23 - Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings. Erastus, who is the city's director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:1 - Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:9 - God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:13 - Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
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 1:18 - For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
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 1:21 - 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 1:27 - But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
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 2:7 - 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 2:9 - However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”[fn]— the things God has prepared for those who love him—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:15 - The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:5 - What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:6 - I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:7 - So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:8 - The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:11 - For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:17 - If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
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 4:5 - Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:9 - For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.
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 5:2 - And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:13 - God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[fn]
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 6:13 - You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:16 - Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:17 - But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[fn]
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 7:3 - The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.
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 7:10 - To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 - To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
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 7:22 - 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 7:29 - What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:32 - I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:33 - But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:38 - So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.[fn]
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 8:6 - yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:11 - So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:8 - Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn't the Law say the same thing?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:10 - Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:14 - In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
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 9:25 - Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:5 - Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:7 - Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:12 - So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
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 11:3 - But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[fn] and the head of Christ is God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:12 - For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
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 11:29 - For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:5 - There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
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 12:12 - Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:15 - Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
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 12:24 - while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
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 14:2 - For anyone who speaks in a tongue[fn] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:3 - But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:4 - Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:5 - I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[fn] but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[fn] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
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 14:13 - For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
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 14:17 - You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.
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 14:30 - And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
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 14:36 - Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?
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 15:21 - For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:26 - The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
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 15:38 - But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:45 - So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[fn]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:47 - The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:48 - As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:54 - When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:56 - The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
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 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 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
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 1:18 - But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
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 1:21 - Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,
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 2:2 - For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:7 - Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
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 4:12 - So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:14 - because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:16 - Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:5 - Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
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 7:6 - But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:15 - as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”[fn]
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 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 9:6 - Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:7 - Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
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 9:10 - Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:8 - So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:10 - For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:11 - Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:13 - We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:18 - For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
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 11:4 - For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:11 - Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:14 - And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:31 - The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying.
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 12:2 - 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 12:21 - I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
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 Box2Co 13:11 - Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:15 - But when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, was pleased
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:3 - Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:8 - For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.
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 3:12 - 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 3:13 - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[fn]
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 3:18 - For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
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 3:20 - A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:21 - Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:24 - So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:1 - What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:4 - But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:6 - Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[fn] Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:15 - Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:23 - His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:29 - At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
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 5:10 - 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 6:6 - Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
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 1:3 - 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 1:17 - 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 2:4 - But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
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 2:14 - For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:1 - For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
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 4:6 - one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:10 - He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
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 4:26 - “In your anger do not sin”[fn]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:28 - Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
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 5:9 - (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:14 - This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:23 - For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:25 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:28 - 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 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 6:21 - 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 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 1:8 - God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:9 - Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
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 2:27 - Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:15 - All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.
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 4:5 - Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
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 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 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 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 2:10 - You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:18 - For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way.
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 3:11 - Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:12 - May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:3 - It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
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 4:8 - Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:14 - For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:15 - which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:16 - who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

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 2:9 - 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 2:11 - Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:17 - Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
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 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 3:11 - 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 3:17 - so that the servant of God[fn] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:2 - in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:15 - To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:5 - to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:8 - and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:1 - Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker—
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 1:8 - But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:9 - You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:12 - You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:2 - For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:11 - Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:13 - And again, “I will put my trust in him.”[fn] And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:3 - Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:4 - For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:2 - For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[fn]
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 4:10 - for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works,[fn] just as God did from his.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:12 - For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:13 - Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
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 5:5 - In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:11 - We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:13 - Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:3 - And God permitting, we will do so.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:10 - God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:13 - When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:16 - People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
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 7:1 - This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:4 - Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:6 - This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:9 - One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:10 - because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
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 7:14 - For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:19 - (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
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 7:28 - For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:2 - and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
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 9:17 - because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:20 - He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:24 - For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.
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 9:28 - so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
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 10:7 - 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 10:9 - Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:23 - Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
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 10:37 - For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”[fn]
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 11:5 - By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[fn] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:10 - For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:16 - Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:17 - By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,
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 11:28 - 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 11:32 - And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:38 - the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:7 - Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:10 - They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:29 - for our “God is a consuming fire.”[fn]
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 13:5 - Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:16 - And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
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 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 1:7 - That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
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 1:12 - Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:13 - When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
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 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 2:11 - For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[fn] also said, “You shall not murder.”[fn] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:19 - You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:21 - Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
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 4:9 - Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:11 - Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[fn] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:12 - There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:15 - Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:2 - Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
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 5:4 - Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:7 - Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.
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 5:15 - And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:18 - Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:20 - remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:24 - For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:3 - now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
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 3:3 - Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
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 3:10 - For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:13 - Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
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 4:3 - 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 4:11 - 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 4:17 - For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:18 - And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[fn]
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 5:8 - Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
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 Box2Pe 1:14 - because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:17 - He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:4 - For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[fn] putting them in chains of darkness[fn] to be held for judgment;
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 2:17 - These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:6 - By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:9 - The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:15 - Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
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 1:10 - 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 2:4 - 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 2:6 - Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:7 - Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
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 2:17 - The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:18 - Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:4 - Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
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 3:7 - Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:8 - The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
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 3:13 - Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,[fn] if the world hates you.
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 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 4:5 - They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:6 - We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[fn] of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:7 - Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:8 - Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
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 4:11 - Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
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 4:16 - 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 4:18 - 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 4:20 - Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:5 - Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
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 5:7 - For there are three that testify:
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 5:12 - Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:18 - We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.
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 1:7 - 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 Box2Jo 1:11 - Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:9 - I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.

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 12:9 - The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
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 12:15 - Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:16 - But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:17 - Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:2 - The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:17 - so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:18 - This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[fn] That number is 666.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:11 - And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

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 15:3 - and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.[fn]
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 15:8 - And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:2 - The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:12 - The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:15 - “Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 16:17 - The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:7 - Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:9 - “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:10 - They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:17 - For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God's words are fulfilled.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:4 - Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,'[fn] so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:5 - for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
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 18:17 - In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' “Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:20 - “Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:3 - And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:6 - Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:7 - Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:11 - I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:13 - He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:20 - But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:6 - Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:7 - When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:8 - and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:10 - And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:11 - Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:13 - The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 20:14 - Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:1 - Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[fn] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:3 - And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:4 - ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death'[fn] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:5 - He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:7 - Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:11 - It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
