Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:1 - Once we were safe on shore, we learned that we were on the island of Malta.
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 28:27 - For the hearts of these people are hardened,
and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and let me heal them.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:8 - Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:21 - Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:25 - The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God's law. But if you don't obey God's law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:26 - And if the Gentiles obey God's law, won't God declare them to be his own people?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:27 - In fact, uncircumcised Gentiles who keep God's law will condemn you Jews who are circumcised and possess God's law but don't obey it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:28 - For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:1 - Then what's the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:3 - True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:5 - “But,” some might say, “our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn't it unfair, then, for him to punish us?” (This is merely a human point of view.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:7 - “But,” someone might still argue, “how can God condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights his truthfulness and brings him more glory?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:27 - Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:3 - For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:5 - But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:9 - Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles?[fn] Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:13 - Clearly, God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God's law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
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 5:3 - We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:4 - And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:5 - And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:12 - When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
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 5:20 - God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:21 - So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:1 - Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:12 - Do not let sin control the way you live;[fn] do not give in to sinful desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:2 - For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:8 - But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:9 - At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:10 - and I died. So I discovered that the law's commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:11 - Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:12 - But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:13 - But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God's good commands for its own evil purposes.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:17 - So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:20 - But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:19 - For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:20 - Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse. But with eager hope,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:21 - the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:22 - For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:4 - They are the people of Israel, chosen to be God's adopted children.[fn] God revealed his glory to them. He made covenants with them and gave them his law. He gave them the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:11 - But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:17 - For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:27 - And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out,
“Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore,
only a remnant will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:1 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:6 - But faith's way of getting right with God says, “Don't say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?' (to bring Christ down to earth).
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:11 - As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:6 - And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.
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 11:9 - Likewise, David said,
“Let their bountiful table become a snare,
a trap that makes them think all is well.
Let their blessings cause them to stumble,
and let them get what they deserve.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:11 - Did God's people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:15 - For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead!
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 11:18 - But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:27 - And this is my covenant with them,
that I will take away their sins.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:29 - For God's gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:36 - For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:9 - Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:10 - Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:11 - This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
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 14:17 - For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:12 - And in another place Isaiah said,
“The heir to David's throne[fn] will come,
and he will rule over the Gentiles.
They will place their hope on him.”[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 15:31 - Pray that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God. Pray also that the believers there will be willing to accept the donation[fn] I am taking to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:19 - But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:20 - The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus[fn] be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:27 - All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:5 - I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
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 3:19 - 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 4:20 - For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God's power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:13 - You say, “Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.” (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.
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 7:15 - (But if the husband or wife who isn't a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife[fn] is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you[fn] to live in peace.)
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 7:28 - 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 7:34 - His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:1 - Now regarding your question about food that has been offered to idols. Yes, we know that “we all have knowledge” about this issue. But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:9 - But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won't they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:2 - Even if others think I am not an apostle, I certainly am to you. You yourselves are proof that I am the Lord's apostle.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:3 - This is my answer to those who question my authority.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:26 - For “the earth is the LORD's, and everything in it.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:29 - It might not be a matter of conscience for you, but it is for the other person.) For why should my freedom be limited by what someone else thinks?
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 11:7 - 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 11:10 - For this reason, and because the angels are watching, a woman should wear a covering on her head to show she is under authority.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:12 - For although the first woman came from man, every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.
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 11:25 - In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:7 - A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:17 - If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:21 - The eye can never say to the hand, “I don't need you.” The head can't say to the feet, “I don't need you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:4 - Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:8 - Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[fn] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:13 - Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:5 - I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy. For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be strengthened.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:22 - So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:23 - Even so, if unbelievers or people who don't understand these things come into your church meeting and hear everyone speaking in an unknown language, they will think you are crazy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:10 - But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:14 - And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:17 - And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:39 - Similarly there are different kinds of flesh—one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:40 - There are also bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of the earthly bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:42 - It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:50 - What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:56 - For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:23 - May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:24 - My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:5 - For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:7 - We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness[fn] and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God's grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.
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 2:6 - Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:2 - The only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in our[fn] hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:5 - It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - The old way,[fn] with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses' face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:8 - Shouldn't we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:9 - If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.[fn] This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:10 - Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
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 4:12 - So we live in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:15 - All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:1 - For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
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 6:3 - We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:11 - Oh, dear Corinthian friends! We have spoken honestly with you, and our hearts are open to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:5 - When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:10 - For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:14 - I had told him how proud I was of you—and you didn't disappoint me. I have always told you the truth, and now my boasting to Titus has also proved true!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:2 - They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:11 - Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:12 - Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don't have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:9 - As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:12 - So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem[fn] will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:6 - And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:10 - For some say, “Paul's letters are demanding and forceful, but in person he is weak, and his speeches are worthless!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:10 - As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece[fn] will ever stop me from boasting about this.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:28 - Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:9 - Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:14 - [fn]May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:5 - All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:5 - But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.
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 3:18 - For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:21 - Is there a conflict, then, between God's law and God's promises?[fn] Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.
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 4:26 - But the other woman, Sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She is the free woman, and she is our mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:30 - But what do the Scriptures say about that? “Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman's son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:8 - It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:17 - The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:18 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
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 3:8 - Though I am the least deserving of all God's people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:9 - I was chosen to explain to everyone[fn] this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:10 - God's purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:21 - Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:7 - However, he has given each one of us a special gift[fn] through the generosity of Christ.
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 5:6 - Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:24 - As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
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 BoxEph 6:24 - May God's grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:9 - I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.

which is his body.
He is the beginning,

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:3 - So you can see we were not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:16 - as they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins. But the anger of God has caught up with them at last.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:20 - Yes, you are our pride and joy.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:16 - If a woman who is a believer has relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are truly alone.

with the people of Israel on that day,[fn] says the LORD:

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:2 - There were two rooms in that Tabernacle.[fn] In the first room were a lampstand, a table, and sacred loaves of bread on the table. This room was called the Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:3 - Then there was a curtain, and behind the curtain was the second room[fn] called the Most Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:4 - In that room were a gold incense altar and a wooden chest called the Ark of the Covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing manna, Aaron's staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:4 - So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:11 - The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:15 - These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:26 - If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:13 - There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:14 - What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don't show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
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 2:20 - How foolish! Can't you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:22 - You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:23 - And so it happened just as the Scriptures say: “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[fn] He was even called the friend of God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:25 - Rahab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road.
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 3:4 - And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:5 - In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.
But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:6 - And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:11 - Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:15 - For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:5 - What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:9 - Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:2 - Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:3 - In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
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.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:7 - And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:18 - Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:2 - This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:4 - We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:5 - This is the message we heard from Jesus[fn] and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:8 - If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:4 - If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:5 - But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.
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 2:11 - But anyone who hates another brother or sister is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:15 - Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:16 - For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:17 - And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:25 - And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:4 - Everyone who sins is breaking God's law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:11 - This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:17 - If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister[fn] in need but shows no compassion—how can God's love be in that person?
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:20 - Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:21 - Dear friends, if we don't feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:23 - And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.
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 4:9 - God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:10 - This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
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 4:17 - 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 4:18 - Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:3 - Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 5:4 - For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
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 5:9 - Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.
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 5:14 - And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
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 1:12 - I have much more to say to you, but I don't want to do it with paper and ink. For I hope to visit you soon and talk with you face to face. Then our joy will be complete.
Unchecked Copy Box3Jo 1:2 - Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
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 1:6 - He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:14 - His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:15 - His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 1:16 - He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 2:20 - “But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:12 - All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:14 - “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning[fn] of God's new creation:
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 3:18 - So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:1 - Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:5 - But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David's throne,[fn] has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 5:13 - And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:12 - I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 6:17 - For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:10 - And they were shouting with a great roar,
“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne
and from the Lamb!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:12 - They sang,
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 8:12 - Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:1 - Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:9 - They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:10 - They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 9:12 - The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!
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 10:1 - Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:8 - Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 10:10 - So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:14 - The second terror is past, but look, the third terror is coming quickly.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:15 - Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven:
“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,[fn]
and he will reign forever and ever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:18 - The nations were filled with wrath,
but now the time of your wrath has come.
It is time to judge the dead
and reward your servants the prophets,
as well as your holy people,
and all who fear your name,
from the least to the greatest.
It is time to destroy
all who have caused destruction on the earth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 11:19 - Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:1 - Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:4 - His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:6 - And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:10 - Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,
“It has come at last—
salvation and power
and the Kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ.[fn]
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters[fn]
has been thrown down to earth—
the one who accuses them
before our God day and night.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 12:16 - But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:3 - I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast.
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 13:12 - He exercised all the authority of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:15 - He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 13:18 - Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[fn] His number is 666.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 14:2 - And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together.
