Unchecked Copy BoxMar 9:34 - But they didn't answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:10 - (For he realized by now that the leading priests had arrested Jesus out of envy.)

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 15:13 - They shouted back, “Crucify him!”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:40 - He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:43 - Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:47 - After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:1 - One day as Jesus was teaching the people and preaching the Good News in the Temple, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:5 - They talked it over among themselves. “If we say it was from heaven, he will ask why we didn't believe John.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:10 - At the time of the grape harvest, he sent one of his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers attacked the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:11 - So the owner sent another servant, but they also insulted him, beat him up, and sent him away empty-handed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:12 - A third man was sent, and they wounded him and chased him away.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:14 - “But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to each other, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:17 - Jesus looked at them and said, “Then what does this Scripture mean?
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:19 - The teachers of religious law and the leading priests wanted to arrest Jesus immediately because they realized he was telling the story against them—they were the wicked farmers. But they were afraid of the people's reaction.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:24 - “Show me a Roman coin.[fn] Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”
“Caesar's,” they replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:27 - Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:31 - Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, who died without children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:33 - So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:34 - Jesus replied, “Marriage is for people here on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:35 - But in the age to come, those worthy of being raised from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:37 - “But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, he referred to the Lord[fn] as ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:15 - for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:21 - Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:33 - Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:2 - The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people's reaction.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:9 - “Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:14 - When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:25 - Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:28 - “You have stayed with me in my time of trial.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:35 - Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler's bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?”
“No,” they replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:38 - “Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.” “That's enough,” he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:39 - Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:49 - When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:63 - The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:71 - “Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:5 - Then they became insistent. “But he is causing riots by his teaching wherever he goes—all over Judea, from Galilee to Jerusalem!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:10 - Meanwhile, the leading priests and the teachers of religious law stood there shouting their accusations.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:21 - But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:23 - But the mob shouted louder and louder, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their voices prevailed.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:35 - The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed. “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God's Messiah, the Chosen One.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:36 - The soldiers mocked him, too, by offering him a drink of sour wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:48 - And when all the crowd that came to see the crucifixion saw what had happened, they went home in deep sorrow.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 23:49 - But Jesus' friends, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:16 - But God kept them from recognizing him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:17 - He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?”
They stopped short, sadness written across their faces.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:19 - “What things?” Jesus asked.
“The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:20 - But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:25 - Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:31 - Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:42 - They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:44 - Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:11 - He came to his own people, and even they rejected him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:19 - This was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants[fn] from Jerusalem to ask John, “Who are you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:37 - When John's two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:38 - Jesus looked around and saw them following. “What do you want?” he asked them.
They replied, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 1:45 - Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses[fn] and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:2 - and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:8 - he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:9 - When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:11 - This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:12 - After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:17 - Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God's house will consume me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:18 - But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:20 - “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:22 - After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:19 - And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:22 - Then Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and went into the Judean countryside. Jesus spent some time with them there, baptizing people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:1 - Jesus[fn] knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:2 - (though Jesus himself didn't baptize them—his disciples did).
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:8 - He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:12 - And besides, do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:20 - So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim,[fn] where our ancestors worshiped?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:23 - But the time is coming—indeed it's here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:27 - Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked to find him talking to a woman, but none of them had the nerve to ask, “What do you want with her?” or “Why are you talking to her?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:31 - Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:33 - “Did someone bring him food while we were gone?” the disciples asked each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:40 - When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:45 - Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:51 - While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:10 - so the Jewish leaders objected. They said to the man who was cured, “You can't work on the Sabbath! The law doesn't allow you to carry that sleeping mat!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:16 - So the Jewish leaders began harassing[fn] Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:18 - So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:25 - “And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it's here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:28 - Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:29 - and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:10 - “Tell everyone to sit down,” Jesus said. So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. (The men alone numbered about 5,000.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:14 - When the people saw him[fn] do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, “Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:16 - That evening Jesus' disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:22 - The next day the crowd that had stayed on the far shore saw that the disciples had taken the only boat, and they realized Jesus had not gone with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:24 - So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:31 - After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:41 - Then the people[fn] began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:49 - Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:52 - Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:58 - I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:61 - Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:64 - But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn't believe, and he knew who would betray him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:1 - After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He wanted to stay out of Judea, where the Jewish leaders were plotting his death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:3 - and Jesus' brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:5 - For even his brothers didn't believe in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:10 - But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:11 - The Jewish leaders tried to find him at the festival and kept asking if anyone had seen him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:12 - There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some argued, “He's a good man,” but others said, “He's nothing but a fraud who deceives the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:15 - The people[fn] were surprised when they heard him. “How does he know so much when he hasn't been trained?” they asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:26 - But here he is, speaking in public, and they say nothing to him. Could our leaders possibly believe that he is the Messiah?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:32 - When the Pharisees heard that the crowds were whispering such things, they and the leading priests sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:35 - The Jewish leaders were puzzled by this statement. “Where is he planning to go?” they asked. “Is he thinking of leaving the country and going to the Jews in other lands?[fn] Maybe he will even teach the Greeks!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:39 - (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given,[fn] because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:41 - Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others said, “But he can't be! Will the Messiah come from Galilee?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:45 - When the Temple guards returned without having arrested Jesus, the leading priests and Pharisees demanded, “Why didn't you bring him in?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:46 - “We have never heard anyone speak like this!” the guards responded.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:47 - “Have you been led astray, too?” the Pharisees mocked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:3 - As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:9 - When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:13 - The Pharisees replied, “You are making those claims about yourself! Such testimony is not valid.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:22 - The people[fn] asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:48 - The people retorted, “You Samaritan devil! Didn't we say all along that you were possessed by a demon?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:52 - The people said, “Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the prophets died, but you say, ‘Anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:53 - Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:57 - The people said, “You aren't even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:2 - “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents' sins?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:3 - “It was not because of his sins or his parents' sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:8 - His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:10 - They asked, “Who healed you? What happened?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:15 - The Pharisees asked the man all about it. So he told them, “He put the mud over my eyes, and when I washed it away, I could see!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:18 - The Jewish leaders still refused to believe the man had been blind and could now see, so they called in his parents.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:20 - His parents replied, “We know this is our son and that he was born blind,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:22 - His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who had announced that anyone saying Jesus was the Messiah would be expelled from the synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:23 - That's why they said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:39 - Then Jesus told him,[fn] “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see[fn] that they are blind.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:40 - Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, “Are you saying we're blind?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:24 - The people surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:31 - Once again the people picked up stones to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:33 - They replied, “We're stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:8 - But his disciples objected. “Rabbi,” they said, “only a few days ago the people[fn] in Judea were trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:12 - The disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:31 - When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus's grave to weep. So they followed her there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:36 - The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:45 - Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:47 - Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council[fn] together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:48 - If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple[fn] and our nation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:57 - Meanwhile, the leading priests and Pharisees had publicly ordered that anyone seeing Jesus must report it immediately so they could arrest him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:10 - Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:16 - His disciples didn't understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:19 - Then the Pharisees said to each other, “There's nothing we can do. Look, everyone[fn] has gone after him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:22 - The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he could mean.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:29 - Then his disciples said, “At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:1 - After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:7 - Once more he asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
And again they replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:12 - So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:18 - Because it was cold, the household servants and the guards had made a charcoal fire. They stood around it, warming themselves, and Peter stood with them, warming himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:20 - Jesus replied, “Everyone knows what I teach. I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple, where the people[fn] gather. I have not spoken in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:31 - “Then take him away and judge him by your own law,” Pilate told them.
“Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone,” the Jewish leaders replied.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:35 - “Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:36 - Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:2 - The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:6 - When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:7 - The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:12 - Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.'[fn] Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:15 - “Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:21 - Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews' to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:23 - When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:25 - Standing near the cross were Jesus' mother, and his mother's sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:31 - It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn't want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was the Passover). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:32 - So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:4 - They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:10 - Then they went home.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:19 - That Sunday evening[fn] the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:20 - As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:25 - They told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he replied, “I won't believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:26 - Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:29 - Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:2 - Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),[fn] Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:4 - At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:8 - The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards[fn] from shore.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 1:6 - So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:7 - They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:9 - Here we are—Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:10 - Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:17 - ‘In the last days,' God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:41 - Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:44 - And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:17 - “Friends,[fn] I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:24 - “Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:25 - You are the children of those prophets, and you are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants[fn] all the families on earth will be blessed.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:1 - While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:21 - The council then threatened them further, but they finally let them go because they didn't know how to punish them without starting a riot. For everyone was praising God
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:23 - As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:24 - When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: “O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:26 - The kings of the earth prepared for battle;
the rulers gathered together
against the LORD
and against his Messiah.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:33 - The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God's great blessing was upon them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:6 - Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:9 - And Peter said, “How could the two of you even think of conspiring to test the Spirit of the Lord like this? The young men who buried your husband are just outside the door, and they will carry you out, too.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:10 - Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:17 - The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:21 - So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching.
When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council[fn]—the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:22 - But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:24 - When the captain of the Temple guard and the leading priests heard this, they were perplexed, wondering where it would all end.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:25 - Then someone arrived with startling news: “The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple, teaching the people!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:29 - But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:33 - When they heard this, the high council was furious and decided to kill them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:41 - The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:2 - So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 6:15 - At this point everyone in the high council stared at Stephen, because his face became as bright as an angel's.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:9 - “These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:25 - Moses assumed his fellow Israelites would realize that God had sent him to rescue them, but they didn't.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:45 - Years later, when Joshua led our ancestors in battle against the nations that God drove out of this land, the Tabernacle was taken with them into their new territory. And it stayed there until the time of King David.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:51 - “You stubborn people! You are heathen[fn] at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That's what your ancestors did, and so do you!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:52 - Name one prophet your ancestors didn't persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One—the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:58 - and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:6 - Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:14 - When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God's message, they sent Peter and John there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 8:25 - After testifying and preaching the word of the Lord in Samaria, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem. And they stopped in many Samaritan villages along the way to preach the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:7 - The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone's voice but saw no one!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:21 - All who heard him were amazed. “Isn't this the same man who caused such devastation among Jesus' followers in Jerusalem?” they asked. “And didn't he come here to arrest them and take them in chains to the leading priests?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:23 - After a while some of the Jews plotted together to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:25 - So during the night, some of the other believers[fn] lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the city wall.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:29 - He debated with some Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to murder him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:30 - When the believers[fn] heard about this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus, his hometown.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:35 - Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas walking around, and they turned to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:38 - But the believers had heard that Peter was nearby at Lydda, so they sent two men to beg him, “Please come as soon as possible!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:17 - Peter was very perplexed. What could the vision mean? Just then the men sent by Cornelius found Simon's house. Standing outside the gate,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:22 - They said, “We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God-fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:43 - He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 10:45 - The Jewish believers[fn] who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:1 - Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers[fn] in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:2 - But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers[fn] criticized him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:12 - The Holy Spirit told me to go with them and not to worry that they were Gentiles. These six brothers here accompanied me, and we soon entered the home of the man who had sent for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 11:19 - Meanwhile, the believers who had been scattered during the persecution after Stephen's death traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch of Syria. They preached the word of God, but only to Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 12:15 - “You're out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:13 - Paul and his companions then left Paphos by ship for Pamphylia, landing at the port town of Perga. There John Mark left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:15 - After the usual readings from the books of Moses[fn] and the prophets, those in charge of the service sent them this message: “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, come and give it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:27 - The people in Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize Jesus as the one the prophets had spoken about. Instead, they condemned him, and in doing this they fulfilled the prophets' words that are read every Sabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:45 - But when some of the Jews saw the crowds, they were jealous; so they slandered Paul and argued against whatever he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:50 - Then the Jews stirred up the influential religious women and the leaders of the city, and they incited a mob against Paul and Barnabas and ran them out of town.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:51 - So they shook the dust from their feet as a sign of rejection and went to the town of Iconium.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:2 - Some of the Jews, however, spurned God's message and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against Paul and Barnabas.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:4 - But the people of the town were divided in their opinion about them. Some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:11 - When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:14 - But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:3 - The church sent the delegates to Jerusalem, and they stopped along the way in Phoenicia and Samaria to visit the believers. They told them—much to everyone's joy—that the Gentiles, too, were being converted.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:6 - So the apostles and elders met together to resolve this issue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:10 - So why are you now challenging God by burdening the Gentile believers[fn] with a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors were able to bear?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:15 - And this conversion of Gentiles is exactly what the prophets predicted. As it is written:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:17 - so that the rest of humanity might seek the LORD,
including the Gentiles—
all those I have called to be mine.
The LORD has spoken—
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:23 - This is the letter they took with them: “This letter is from the apostles and elders, your brothers in Jerusalem. It is written to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia. Greetings!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:30 - The messengers went at once to Antioch, where they called a general meeting of the believers and delivered the letter.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:17 - She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, and they have come to tell you how to be saved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:19 - Her masters' hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:20 - “The whole city is in an uproar because of these Jews!” they shouted to the city officials.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:22 - A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:25 - Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:31 - They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:33 - Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:35 - The next morning the city officials sent the police to tell the jailer, “Let those men go!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:36 - So the jailer told Paul, “The city officials have said you and Silas are free to leave. Go in peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:38 - When the police reported this, the city officials were alarmed to learn that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:5 - But some of the Jews were jealous, so they gathered some troublemakers from the marketplace to form a mob and start a riot. They attacked the home of Jason, searching for Paul and Silas so they could drag them out to the crowd.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:6 - Not finding them there, they dragged out Jason and some of the other believers[fn] instead and took them before the city council. “Paul and Silas have caused trouble all over the world,” they shouted, “and now they are here disturbing our city, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:10 - That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:13 - But when some Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God in Berea, they went there and stirred up trouble.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:14 - The believers acted at once, sending Paul on to the coast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:15 - Those escorting Paul went with him all the way to Athens; then they returned to Berea with instructions for Silas and Timothy to hurry and join him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:18 - He also had a debate with some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. When he told them about Jesus and his resurrection, they said, “What's this babbler trying to say with these strange ideas he's picked up?” Others said, “He seems to be preaching about some foreign gods.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:21 - (It should be explained that all the Athenians as well as the foreigners in Athens seemed to spend all their time discussing the latest ideas.)
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 17:32 - When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said, “We want to hear more about this later.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:12 - But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, some Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the governor for judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 18:27 - Apollos had been thinking about going to Achaia, and the brothers and sisters in Ephesus encouraged him to go. They wrote to the believers in Achaia, asking them to welcome him. When he arrived there, he proved to be of great benefit to those who, by God's grace, had believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:2 - “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” he asked them.
“No,” they replied, “we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:3 - “Then what baptism did you experience?” he asked.
And they replied, “The baptism of John.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:7 - There were about twelve men in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:26 - But as you have seen and heard, this man Paul has persuaded many people that handmade gods aren't really gods at all. And he's done this not only here in Ephesus but throughout the entire province!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:30 - Paul wanted to go in, too, but the believers wouldn't let him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:32 - Inside, the people were all shouting, some one thing and some another. Everything was in confusion. In fact, most of them didn't even know why they were there.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:38 - “If Demetrius and the craftsmen have a case against them, the courts are in session and the officials can hear the case at once. Let them make formal charges.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:11 - He came over, took Paul's belt, and bound his own feet and hands with it. Then he said, “The Holy Spirit declares, ‘So shall the owner of this belt be bound by the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem and turned over to the Gentiles.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:12 - When we heard this, we and the local believers all begged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:17 - When we arrived, the brothers and sisters in Jerusalem welcomed us warmly.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:18 - The next day Paul went with us to meet with James, and all the elders of the Jerusalem church were present.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:20 - After hearing this, they praised God. And then they said, “You know, dear brother, how many thousands of Jews have also believed, and they all follow the law of Moses very seriously.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:27 - The seven days were almost ended when some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in the Temple and roused a mob against him. They grabbed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:32 - He immediately called out his soldiers and officers[fn] and ran down among the crowd. When the mob saw the commander and the troops coming, they stopped beating Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:9 - The people with me saw the light but didn't understand the voice speaking to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:29 - The soldiers who were about to interrogate Paul quickly withdrew when they heard he was a Roman citizen, and the commander was frightened because he had ordered him bound and whipped.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:4 - Those standing near Paul said to him, “Do you dare to insult God's high priest?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:12 - The next morning a group of Jews[fn] got together and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:13 - There were more than forty of them in the conspiracy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:20 - Paul's nephew told him, “Some Jews are going to ask you to bring Paul before the high council tomorrow, pretending they want to get some more information.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:31 - So that night, as ordered, the soldiers took Paul as far as Antipatris.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:35 - “I will hear your case myself when your accusers arrive,” the governor told him. Then the governor ordered him kept in the prison at Herod's headquarters.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:9 - Then the other Jews chimed in, declaring that everything Tertullus said was true.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:2 - where the leading priests and other Jewish leaders met with him and made their accusations against Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:5 - So he said, “Those of you in authority can return with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, you can make your accusations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:7 - When Paul arrived, the Jewish leaders from Jerusalem gathered around and made many serious accusations they couldn't prove.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:15 - When I was in Jerusalem, the leading priests and Jewish elders pressed charges against him and asked me to condemn him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:18 - But the accusations made against him weren't any of the crimes I expected.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:4 - “As the Jewish leaders are well aware, I was given a thorough Jewish training from my earliest childhood among my own people and in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:22 - But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen—
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:30 - Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others stood and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:12 - And since Fair Havens was an exposed harbor—a poor place to spend the winter—most of the crew wanted to go on to Phoenix, farther up the coast of Crete, and spend the winter there. Phoenix was a good harbor with only a southwest and northwest exposure.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:27 - About midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, as we were being driven across the Sea of Adria,[fn] the sailors sensed land was near.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:32 - So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and let it drift away.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:4 - The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other, “A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:6 - The people waited for him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw that he wasn't harmed, they changed their minds and decided he was a god.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:9 - Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:15 - The brothers and sisters[fn] in Rome had heard we were coming, and they came to meet us at the Forum[fn] on the Appian Way. Others joined us at The Three Taverns.[fn] When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and thanked God.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:21 - They replied, “We have had no letters from Judea or reports against you from anyone who has come here.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:24 - Some were persuaded by the things he said, but others did not believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:27 - And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:32 - They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:13 - For merely listening to the law doesn't make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:15 - “They rush to commit murder.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:14 - If God's promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But there is a great difference between Adam's sin and God's gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:17 - For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:19 - Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:5 - Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:8 - That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:5 - Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:6 - Well then, has God failed to fulfill his promise to Israel? No, for not all who are born into the nation of Israel are truly members of God's people!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:15 - And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:7 - So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:10 - Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,
and let their backs be bent forever.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:16 - And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:24 - You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:5 - so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:2 - So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:1 - We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:3 - For even Christ didn't live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:11 - And yet again,
“Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:18 - Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:21 - Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you his greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:2 - Don't you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide even these little things among yourselves?
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 7:28 - But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, those who get married at this time will have troubles, and I am trying to spare you those problems.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:30 - Those who weep or who rejoice or who buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or their possessions.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:5 - Don't we have the right to bring a Christian wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord's brothers do, and as Peter[fn] does?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:13 - Don't you realize that those who work in the temple get their meals from the offerings brought to the temple? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:24 - Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:1 - I don't want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:17 - And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:18 - Think about the people of Israel. Weren't they united by eating the sacrifices at the altar?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:19 - But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God's approval will be recognized!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:29 - Let two or three people prophesy, and let the others evaluate what is said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:6 - After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers[fn] at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:18 - In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:23 - But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:29 - If the dead will not be raised, what point is there in people being baptized for those who are dead? Why do it unless the dead will someday rise again?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:35 - But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:48 - Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:52 - It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:20 - All the brothers and sisters here send greetings to you. Greet each other with Christian love.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:17 - You see, we are not like the many hucksters[fn] who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:11 - Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:4 - While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it's not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:14 - Either way, Christ's love controls us.[fn] Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:15 - He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and didn't have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:13 - These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:15 - So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:14 - Now I am coming to you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you. I don't want what you have—I want you. After all, children don't provide for their parents. Rather, parents provide for their children.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:13 - All of God's people here send you their greetings.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:2 - All the brothers and sisters[fn] here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:6 - And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:9 - In fact, James, Peter,[fn] and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:13 - As a result, other Jewish Christians followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:7 - The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:9 - So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:12 - I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:21 - envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:24 - Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:1 - Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[fn] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[fn] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:13 - And even those who advocate circumcision don't keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
