Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:4 - “Dear friends, don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:5 - But I'll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell.[fn] Yes, he's the one to fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:8 - “I tell you the truth, everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, the Son of Man[fn] will also acknowledge in the presence of God's angels.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:27 - “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:31 - Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:32 - “So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:37 - The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:44 - I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 12:51 - Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:3 - Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:5 - No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:24 - “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God's Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:25 - When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!' But he will reply, ‘I don't know you or where you come from.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:27 - And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.'
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 13:35 - And now, look, your house is abandoned. And you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 14:24 - For none of those I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:7 - In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven't strayed away!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:10 - In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels when even one sinner repents.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:9 - Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:11 - And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 16:12 - And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:6 - The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and thrown into the sea,' and it would obey you!
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:10 - In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:23 - People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,' or ‘Here he is,' but don't go out and follow them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 17:34 - That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:8 - I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man[fn] returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:14 - I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:17 - I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 18:29 - “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 19:40 - He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:8 - And Jesus responded, “Then I won't tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:3 - “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 21:13 - But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.[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 21:32 - I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:10 - He replied, “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:12 - He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:16 - For I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:18 - For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:26 - But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:29 - And just as my Father has granted me a Kingdom, I now grant you the right
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:37 - For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.'[fn] Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 22:67 - and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?”
But he replied, “If I tell you, you won't believe me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:6 - He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 24:36 - And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. “Peace be with you,” he said.
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 1:51 - Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 2:5 - But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 3:12 - But if you don't believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 4:35 - You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.' But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe[fn] for harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:19 - So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:24 - “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
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 5:38 - and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:26 - Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:27 - But don't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man[fn] can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:32 - Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:36 - But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:47 - “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:53 - So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:63 - The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:65 - Then he said, “That is why I said that people can't come to me unless the Father gives them to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:19 - Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:22 - But you work on the Sabbath, too, when you obey Moses' law of circumcision. (Actually, this tradition of circumcision began with the patriarchs, long before the law of Moses.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:24 - That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be,[fn] you will die in your sins.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:25 - “Who are you?” they demanded.
Jesus replied, “The one I have always claimed to be.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:34 - Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:37 - Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there's no room in your hearts for my message.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:40 - Instead, you are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:51 - I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:55 - but you don't even know him. I know him. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But I do know him and obey him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:58 - Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM![fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:27 - “Look!” the man exclaimed. “I told you once. Didn't you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:1 - “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:7 - so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:25 - Jesus replied, “I have already told you, and you don't believe me. The proof is the work I do in my Father's name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:32 - Jesus said, “At my Father's direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:50 - You don't realize that it's better for you that one man should die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 11:56 - They kept looking for Jesus, but as they stood around in the Temple, they said to each other, “What do you think? He won't come for Passover, will he?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:24 - I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:35 - Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:12 - After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:15 - I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:16 - I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:19 - I tell you this beforehand, so that when it happens you will believe that I AM the Messiah.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:20 - I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:21 - Now Jesus was deeply troubled,[fn] and he exclaimed, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:33 - Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can't come where I am going.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:34 - So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:2 - There is more than enough room in my Father's home.[fn] If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:3 - When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:10 - Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:12 - “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[fn] who will never leave you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:17 - He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:20 - When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:25 - I am telling you these things now while I am still with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:26 - But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:27 - “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:28 - Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:29 - I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:3 - You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:4 - Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:7 - But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:11 - I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:14 - You are my friends if you do what I command.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:15 - I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:16 - You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:17 - This is my command: Love each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:20 - Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:26 - “But I will send you the Advocate[fn]—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:1 - “I have told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:4 - Yes, I'm telling you these things now, so that when they happen, you will remember my warning. I didn't tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:6 - Instead, you grieve because of what I've told you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:7 - But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate[fn] won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:12 - “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:13 - When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:14 - He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:15 - All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:20 - I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:23 - At that time you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:25 - “I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:26 - Then you will ask in my name. I'm not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:33 - I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:8 - “I told you that I AM he,” Jesus said. “And since I am the one you want, let these others go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:39 - But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this ‘King of the Jews'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 19:4 - Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.”
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 20:21 - Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
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 BoxAct 2:14 - Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:39 - This promise is to you, and to your children, and even to the Gentiles[fn]—all who have been called by the Lord our God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:14 - You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:20 - Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:22 - Moses said, ‘The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 3:26 - When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 4:10 - Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,[fn] the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead.
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 5:28 - “Didn't we tell you never again to teach in this man's name?” he demanded. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:38 - “So my advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 7:37 - “Moses himself told the people of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people.'[fn]
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 13:34 - For God had promised to raise him from the dead, not leaving him to rot in the grave. He said, ‘I will give you the sacred blessings I promised to David.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:38 - [fn]“Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:41 - ‘Look, you mockers,
be amazed and die!
For I am doing something in your own day,
something you wouldn't believe
even if someone told you about it.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:46 - Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared, “It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:15 - “Friends,[fn] why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:17 - but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:7 - At the meeting, after a long discussion, Peter stood and addressed them as follows: “Brothers, you all know that God chose me from among you some time ago to preach to the Gentiles so that they could hear the Good News and believe.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:20 - I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:26 - I declare today that I have been faithful. If anyone suffers eternal death, it's not my fault,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:27 - for I didn't shrink from declaring all that God wants you to know.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:35 - And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

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 26:8 - Why does it seem incredible to any of you that God can raise the dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:28 - So I want you to know that this salvation from God has also been offered to the Gentiles, and they will accept it.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:7 - I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people.
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:11 - For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:12 - When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:13 - I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see spiritual fruit, just as I have seen among other Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:15 - So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:10 - And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life[fn] because you have been made right with God.
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 Box1Co 1:4 - I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:11 - For some members of Chloe's household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:1 - When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I didn't use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God's secret plan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:2 - For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:1 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people.[fn] I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:3 - for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:16 - Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in[fn] you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:18 - Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:8 - You think you already have everything you need. You think you are already rich. You have begun to reign in God's kingdom without us! I wish you really were reigning already, for then we would be reigning with you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:17 - That's why I have sent Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of how I follow Christ Jesus, just as I teach in all the churches wherever I go.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:1 - I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don't do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:9 - When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:11 - I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer[fn] yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people.
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 6:5 - I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:7 - Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.
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 9:11 - Since we have planted spiritual seed among you, aren't we entitled to a harvest of physical food and drink?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:27 - If someone who isn't a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - (But suppose someone tells you, “This meat was offered to an idol.” Don't eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:2 - I am so glad that you always keep me in your thoughts, and that you are following the teachings I passed on to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:13 - Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:18 - First, I hear that there are divisions among you when you meet as a church, and to some extent I believe it.
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 11:22 - What? Don't you have your own homes for eating and drinking? Or do you really want to disgrace God's church and shame the poor? What am I supposed to say? Do you want me to praise you? Well, I certainly will not praise you for this!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:23 - For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:30 - That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:3 - So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:31 - So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts.
But now let me show you a way of life that is best of all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:6 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] if I should come to you speaking in an unknown language,[fn] how would that help you? But if I bring you a revelation or some special knowledge or prophecy or teaching, that will be helpful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:37 - If you claim to be a prophet or think you are spiritual, you should recognize that what I am saying is a command from the Lord himself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:1 - Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:2 - It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:3 - I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:12 - But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:34 - Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don't know God at all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:51 - But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:2 - May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:13 - Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can't understand. I hope someday you will fully understand us,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:19 - For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas,[fn] Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God's ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:21 - It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:4 - I wrote that letter in great anguish, with a troubled heart and many tears. I didn't want to grieve you, but I wanted to let you know how much love I have for you.
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 4:14 - We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus,[fn] will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself together with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:12 - Are we commending ourselves to you again? No, we are giving you a reason to be proud of us,[fn] so you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:13 - If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:18 - And I will be your Father,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the LORD Almighty.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:7 - His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:11 - Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:12 - My purpose, then, was not to write about who did the wrong or who was wronged. I wrote to you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how loyal you are to us.
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 7:16 - I am very happy now because I have complete confidence in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:1 - Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:7 - Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us[fn]—I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:13 - Of course, I don't mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:1 - I really don't need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:14 - And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:1 - Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:15 - Nor do we boast and claim credit for the work someone else has done. Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:7 - Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God's Good News to you without expecting anything in return?
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 12:12 - When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:19 - Perhaps you think we're saying these things just to defend ourselves. No, we tell you this as Christ's servants, and with God as our witness. Everything we do, dear friends, is to strengthen you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:20 - For I am afraid that when I come I won't like what I find, and you won't like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:3 - I will give you all the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you; he is powerful among you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:5 - Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you[fn]; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:3 - May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ[fn] give you grace and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:8 - Let God's curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 - Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:20 - I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:5 - I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:13 - Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:15 - Where is that joyful and grateful spirit you felt then? I am sure you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:16 - Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:19 - Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I'm going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I don't know how else to help you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:2 - Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
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 6:11 - NOTICE WHAT LARGE LETTERS I USE AS I WRITE THESE CLOSING WORDS IN MY OWN HANDWRITING.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:2 - May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

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 3:15 - Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:18 - For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ.

May God our Father give you grace and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:5 - which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:27 - For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

May God give you grace and peace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:5 - For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance[fn] that what we said was true. And you know of our concern for you from the way we lived when we were with you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:13 - Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:1 - And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:2 - Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:12 - I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas,[fn] whom I commend to you as a faithful brother.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:1 - But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:13 - Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They delight in deception[fn] even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:1 - This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:15 - And remember, our Lord's patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him—
