Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:24 - So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.

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 2:1 - You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:2 - Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:8 - And some people even slander us by claiming that we say, “The more we sin, the better it is!” Those who say such things deserve to be condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:13 - “Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with lies.”
“Snake venom drips from their lips.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:17 - That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[fn] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:25 - He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:13 - Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:19 - Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this.

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 8:11 - The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:32 - Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else?
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 10:18 - But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have:
“The message has gone throughout the earth,
and the words to all the world.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:3 - “LORD, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:1 - And so, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:16 - Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:12 - The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:19 - So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.
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 15:9 - He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote:
“For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing praises to your name.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:16 - I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you Gentiles. I bring you the Good News so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:17 - So I have reason to be enthusiastic about all Christ Jesus has done through me in my service to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:22 - In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:17 - And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people's faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:26 - But now as the prophets[fn] foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:28 - God chose things despised by the world,[fn] things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - But[fn] it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:12 - And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
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 2:15 - Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:5 - So don't make judgments about anyone ahead of time—before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:18 - But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:31 - So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:11 - so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:2 - We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don't try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.
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 4:18 - So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:16 - Then we will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places far beyond you, where no one else is working. Then there will be no question of our boasting about work done in someone else's territory.
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 11:30 - If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am.
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 BoxGal 3:8 - What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:14 - Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised[fn] Holy Spirit through faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:22 - But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God's promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:3 - And that's the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles[fn] of this world.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:9 - So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?
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 6:2 - Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:17 - From now on, don't let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:3 - All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
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 5:12 - It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:28 - In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
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 6:12 - For we[fn] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:19 - If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along.

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:21 - All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:23 - I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:8 - Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers[fn] of this world, rather than from Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:13 - You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:22 - Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.
