Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:25 - So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:34 - Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:2 - The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:20 - For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:22 - But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:27 - For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:11 - I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:17 - For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[fn] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:18 - The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:19 - since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:20 - For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:26 - Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:1 - You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:12 - All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:13 - For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:14 - (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:24 - As it is written: “God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:25 - Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:28 - A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:2 - Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:3 - What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:7 - Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:9 - What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:2 - If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:3 - What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:13 - It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:14 - For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:15 - because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:6 - You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:7 - Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:10 - For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:13 - To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:16 - Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:17 - For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:19 - For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:5 - For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:7 - because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:10 - The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:14 - For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:19 - I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:20 - When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:21 - What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[fn] Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:1 - Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:2 - For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:5 - For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[fn] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:7 - What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:8 - But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:11 - For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:14 - We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:15 - I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:18 - For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[fn] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:19 - For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:22 - For in my inner being I delight in God's law;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:2 - because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[fn] free from the law of sin and death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[fn] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[fn] And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:5 - Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:7 - The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:13 - For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:14 - For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:15 - The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[fn] And by him we cry, “Abba,[fn] Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:18 - I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:19 - For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:20 - For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:22 - We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:24 - For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:38 - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[fn] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:3 - For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:6 - It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:9 - For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:11 - Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God's purpose in election might stand:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:15 - For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:17 - For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:19 - One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:28 - For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:32 - Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:2 - For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:3 - Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:4 - Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:5 - Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:10 - For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:11 - As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:12 - For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:13 - for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:16 - But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:1 - I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:13 - I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:15 - For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:21 - For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:24 - After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:25 - I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:29 - for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:30 - Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:32 - For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:34 - “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:3 - For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:4 - For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:20 - On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:4 - For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:6 - This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:8 - Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[fn] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:11 - And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:3 - The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:6 - Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:7 - For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:8 - If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:9 - For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:10 - You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[fn]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:18 - because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:3 - For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:4 - For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:18 - I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:24 - I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:26 - For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord's people in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:27 - They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:2 - I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:18 - For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:19 - Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:17 - For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:18 - For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:26 - Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:2 - For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:8 - None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:14 - The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:16 - for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”[fn] But we have the mind of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:3 - You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:4 - For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:11 - For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:17 - If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[fn];
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:21 - So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:4 - My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:15 - Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:20 - For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:7 - Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 - you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:16 - How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:22 - For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord's freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ's slave.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:5 - For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:8 - But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:2 - Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:9 - For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[fn] Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:10 - Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:16 - For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:17 - If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:19 - Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:5 - Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:17 - Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:26 - for, “The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:29 - I am referring to the other person's conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:6 - For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:7 - A man ought not to cover his head,[fn] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:9 - neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:12 - For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:18 - In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:19 - No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:22 - Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:23 - For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:26 - For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:29 - For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:31 - But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:8 - To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:12 - Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:13 - For we were all baptized by[fn] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:14 - Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:9 - For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:12 - For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:2 - For anyone who speaks in a tongue[fn] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:5 - I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[fn] but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[fn] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:8 - Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:9 - So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:17 - You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:31 - For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:34 - Women[fn] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:3 - For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[fn]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:16 - For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:21 - For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:22 - For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:25 - For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:27 - For he “has put everything under his feet.”[fn] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:32 - If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:34 - Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:41 - The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:53 - For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:5 - After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:7 - For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:10 - When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:11 - No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:18 - For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:8 - We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[fn] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity[fn] and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God's grace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:13 - For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:19 - For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas[fn] and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:24 - Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:2 - For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:4 - For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:9 - Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:10 - Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:11 - in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:6 - He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:9 - If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:11 - And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:14 - But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:5 - For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:11 - For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:15 - All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:17 - For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:18 - So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:1 - For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:2 - Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:4 - For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:7 - For we live by faith, not by sight.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:12 - We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:13 - If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:14 - For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:21 - God made him who had no sin to be sin[fn] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:16 - What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:5 - For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:9 - yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:10 - Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:11 - See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - And here is my judgment about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:12 - For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:13 - Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:1 - There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord's people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:2 - For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:7 - Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:3 - For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:4 - The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:8 - So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:12 - We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:14 - We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:18 - For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:2 - I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:4 - For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:5 - I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:13 - For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:14 - And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:19 - You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:20 - In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:1 - I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:6 - Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:10 - That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:11 - I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,”[fn] even though I am nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:14 - Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:20 - For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:4 - For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him in our dealing with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:8 - For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:9 - We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:10 - Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:12 - I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 - For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:6 - As for those who were held in high esteem—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—they added nothing to my message.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:8 - For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:12 - For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:18 - If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:19 - “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:10 - For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:13 - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:18 - For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:21 - Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:26 - So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:27 - for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:15 - Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:22 - For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:25 - Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:30 - But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:5 - For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:13 - You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[fn]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:17 - For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[fn] you want.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:3 - If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:5 - for each one should carry their own load.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:7 - Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:9 - Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:13 - Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:15 - Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:17 - From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:8 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:5 - For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:6 - Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:9 - (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:12 - It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:19 - for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:21 - For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:23 - I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:5 - In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:20 - I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:21 - For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:27 - Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:18 - For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:20 - But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:11 - I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:1 - I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:5 - For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:24 - since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:13 - I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:8 - The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:9 - for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:1 - You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:3 - For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:14 - For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:19 - For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:3 - so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:4 - In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:9 - How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:2 - For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:7 - For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:9 - Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:10 - And in fact, you do love all of God's family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:14 - For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:15 - According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:2 - for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:3 - While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:7 - For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:18 - give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:7 - For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:2 - And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:7 - For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:10 - For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:3 - This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:5 - For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 2:13 - For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 3:13 - Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:5 - because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:8 - For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:10 - That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 4:16 - Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:11 - As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 5:18 - For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,”[fn] and “The worker deserves his wages.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:7 - For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 6:10 - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:7 - For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:12 - That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:11 - Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:16 - Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:2 - People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:9 - But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:3 - For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:6 - For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 4:15 - You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:7 - Since an overseer manages God's household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:10 - For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 2:11 - For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:9 - But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 3:12 - As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:7 - Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord's people.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:15 - Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:22 - And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:5 - For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”[fn]? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”[fn]?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:2 - For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:5 - It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:8 - and put everything under their feet.”[fn][fn] In putting everything under them,[fn] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[fn] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:10 - In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:11 - Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:16 - For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:18 - Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:3 - Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:4 - For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:14 - We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:16 - Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:3 - Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.' ”[fn] And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:8 - For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:10 - for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works,[fn] just as God did from his.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:12 - For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 4:15 - For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:1 - Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:12 - In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 5:13 - Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:4 - It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:7 - Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:10 - God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:13 - When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:16 - People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:1 - This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:10 - because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:11 - If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:12 - For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:13 - He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:14 - For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:17 - For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:18 - The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:19 - (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:26 - Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:27 - Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:28 - For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:3 - Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:4 - If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:7 - For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:8 - But God found fault with the people and said[fn]: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:2 - A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:13 - The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:16 - In the case of a will,[fn] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:17 - because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:19 - When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:24 - For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:1 - The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:4 - It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:14 - For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:15 - The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:23 - Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:26 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:30 - For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[fn] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:34 - You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:36 - You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:37 - For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:2 - This is what the ancients were commended for.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:5 - By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[fn] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:10 - For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:14 - People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:16 - Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:26 - He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:27 - By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:32 - And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:3 - Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:6 - because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:7 - Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:10 - They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:17 - Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:18 - You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:20 - because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:25 - See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:29 - for our “God is a consuming fire.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:2 - Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:5 - Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:9 - Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:11 - The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:14 - For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:16 - And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:17 - Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:18 - Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:22 - Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:6 - But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:7 - That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:11 - For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:13 - When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:20 - because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:24 - and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:2 - Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:10 - For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:11 - For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[fn] also said, “You shall not murder.”[fn] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:13 - because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:26 - As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:7 - All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:16 - For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:14 - Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:19 - For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:20 - But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:21 - To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:25 - For “you were like sheep going astray,”[fn] but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:10 - For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:17 - For it is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:3 - For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:6 - For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:8 - For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:10 - Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[fn] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:11 - and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:18 - For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:19 - They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:20 - Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:11 - Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
