Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person from the province of Asia to become a follower of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:14 - But people who aren't spiritual[fn] can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:5 - After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:11 - For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:17 - God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,
“He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:21 - So don't boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you—
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:3 - As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don't even trust my own judgment on this point.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:4 - My conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove I'm right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:7 - Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:15 - Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:16 - And don't you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:17 - But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 - Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:9 - But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the Christian wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the Christian husband[fn] brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:19 - For it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised. The important thing is to keep God's commandments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:22 - And remember, if you were a slave when the Lord called you, you are now free in the Lord. And if you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:40 - But in my opinion it would be better for her to stay single, and I think I am giving you counsel from God's Spirit when I say this.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:3 - This is my answer to those who question my authority.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:16 - Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn't preach the Good News!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:18 - What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That's why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:16 - When we bless the cup at the Lord's Table, aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren't we sharing in the body of Christ?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:19 - What am I trying to say? Am I saying that food offered to idols has some significance, or that idols are real gods?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - (But suppose someone tells you, “This meat was offered to an idol.” Don't eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:3 - But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:5 - But a woman dishonors her head[fn] if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:7 - A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is made in God's image and reflects God's glory. And woman reflects man's glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:8 - For the first man didn't come from woman, but the first woman came from man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:14 - Isn't it obvious that it's disgraceful for a man to have long hair?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:15 - And isn't long hair a woman's pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:24 - and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you.[fn] Do this to remember me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:12 - The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:22 - In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don't understand what I am saying.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:15 - Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit,[fn] and I will also pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will also sing in words I understand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:26 - Well, my brothers and sisters, let's summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:33 - For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God's holy people.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:35 - If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:3 - That is why I wrote to you as I did, so that when I do come, I won't be grieved by the very ones who ought to give me the greatest joy. Surely you all know that my joy comes from your being joyful.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:4 - Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - Now he cares for you more than ever when he remembers the way all of you obeyed him and welcomed him with such fear and deep respect.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:1 - I really don't need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:18 - When people commend themselves, it doesn't count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:13 - The only thing I failed to do, which I do in the other churches, was to become a financial burden to you. Please forgive me for this wrong!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.[fn] And notice that the Scripture doesn't say “to his children,[fn]” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:20 - Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:1 - Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:24 - These two women serve as an illustration of God's two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:19 - When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:22 - But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:15 - It doesn't matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:14 - The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:18 - I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:14 - For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:9 - Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:10 - And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:15 - Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:21 - Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:5 - You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:10 - Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:12 - It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:13 - But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:18 - Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:23 - For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:1 - Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord,[fn] for this is the right thing to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:9 - Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don't threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:17 - Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:7 - So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:13 - For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:7 - You learned about the Good News from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker. He is Christ's faithful servant, and he is helping us on your behalf.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:15 - Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:17 - He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:18 - Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.[fn]
So he is first in everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:24 - I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:27 - For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:10 - So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:17 - For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:22 - Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:23 - These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person's evil desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:1 - Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:14 - Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:20 - Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:9 - I am also sending Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, one of your own people. He and Tychicus will tell you everything that's happening here.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:13 - Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:3 - God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:3 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] we can't help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:9 - This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:3 - But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:17 - HERE IS MY GREETING IN MY OWN HANDWRITING—PAUL. I DO THIS IN ALL MY LETTERS TO PROVE THEY ARE FROM ME.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:20 - Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:8 - “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:10 - This is why we work hard and continue to struggle,[fn] for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:4 - But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:6 - This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:12 - That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him[fn] until the day of his return.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:15 - As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:17 - This kind of talk spreads like cancer,[fn] as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:11 - Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you when you come, for he will be helpful to me in my ministry.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:6 - An elder must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife,[fn] and his children must be believers who don't have a reputation for being wild or rebellious.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:8 - This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:6 - For in one place the Scriptures say,
“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
or a son of man[fn] that you should care for him?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:13 - For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn't know how to do what is right.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:2 - Then Abraham took a tenth of all he had captured in battle and gave it to Melchizedek. The name Melchizedek means “king of justice,” and king of Salem means “king of peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:15 - This change has been made very clear since a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has appeared.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:6 - But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:13 - And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,[fn] and he never tempts anyone else.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:17 - Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.[fn] He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:17 - So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:19 - You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God.[fn] Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:20 - How foolish! Can't you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:26 - Just as the body is dead without breath,[fn] so also faith is dead without good works.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:17 - But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:4 - You adulterers![fn] Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:17 - Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:4 - They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”

And this will result in their destruction.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:7 - Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:8 - Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:22 - And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ.[fn] Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - But you have received the Holy Spirit,[fn] and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit[fn] teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:29 - Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God's children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:2 - Dear friends, we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:3 - And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:7 - Dear children, don't let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:10 - So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers[fn] does not belong to God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:1 - Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:2 - This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet[fn] acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:3 - But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:7 - Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:12 - No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:15 - All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:17 - And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ[fn] has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:3 - Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:5 - And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:6 - And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross[fn]—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:11 - And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:20 - And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God.[fn] And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:6 - Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:7 - I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came[fn] in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:11 - Dear friend, don't let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God's children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:12 - Everyone speaks highly of Demetrius, as does the truth itself. We ourselves can say the same for him, and you know we speak the truth.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:12 - And they sang in a mighty chorus:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:19 - Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:10 - Anyone who is destined for prison
will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die by the sword
will die by the sword. This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 17:11 - “The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 19:10 - Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don't worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters[fn] who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 21:8 - “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
