Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:14 - because it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the mud and healed him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:22 - His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who had announced that anyone saying Jesus was the Messiah would be expelled from the synagogue.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 9:26 - “But what did he do?” they asked. “How did he heal you?”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:1 - Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:9 - Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 13:10 - Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet,[fn] to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.”
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 13:14 - And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 14:24 - Anyone who doesn't love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 17:1 - After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 18:21 - Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 20:17 - “Don't cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 21:23 - So the rumor spread among the community of believers[fn] that this disciple wouldn't die. But that isn't what Jesus said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:18 - In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:22 - “People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene[fn] by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know.

making them a footstool under your feet.”'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:37 - Peter's words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

the star of your god Rephan,
and the images you made to worship them.
So I will send you into exile
as far away as Babylon.'[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:21 - All who heard him were amazed. “Isn't this the same man who caused such devastation among Jesus' followers in Jerusalem?” they asked. “And didn't he come here to arrest them and take them in chains to the leading priests?”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:22 - Saul's preaching became more and more powerful, and the Jews in Damascus couldn't refute his proofs that Jesus was indeed the Messiah.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:27 - Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. He also told them that Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:36 - This is not a reference to David, for after David had done the will of God in his own generation, he died and was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:45 - But when some of the Jews saw the crowds, they were jealous; so they slandered Paul and argued against whatever he said.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 13:50 - Then the Jews stirred up the influential religious women and the leaders of the city, and they incited a mob against Paul and Barnabas and ran them out of town.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:10 - So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 14:13 - Now the temple of Zeus was located just outside the town. So the priest of the temple and the crowd brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the town gates, and they prepared to offer sacrifices to the apostles.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:1 - While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch of Syria, some men from Judea arrived and began to teach the believers[fn]: “Unless you are circumcised as required by the law of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:21 - For these laws of Moses have been preached in Jewish synagogues in every city on every Sabbath for many generations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:32 - Then Judas and Silas, both being prophets, spoke at length to the believers, encouraging and strengthening their faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:33 - They stayed for a while, and then the believers sent them back to the church in Jerusalem with a blessing of peace.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 15:36 - After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:3 - so Paul wanted him to join them on their journey. In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:19 - Her masters' hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:24 - So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:27 - The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:9 - But some became stubborn, rejecting his message and publicly speaking against the Way. So Paul left the synagogue and took the believers with him. Then he held daily discussions at the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:10 - This went on for the next two years, so that people throughout the province of Asia—both Jews and Greeks—heard the word of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:12 - When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:13 - A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:16 - I pointed out to them that Roman law does not convict people without a trial. They must be given an opportunity to confront their accusers and defend themselves.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:13 - About noon, Your Majesty, as I was on the road, a light from heaven brighter than the sun shone down on me and my companions.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:2 - Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was also with us. We left on a ship whose home port was Adramyttium on the northwest coast of the province of Asia;[fn] it was scheduled to make several stops at ports along the coast of the province.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:27 - For the hearts of these people are hardened,
and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and let me heal them.'[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:30 - For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense.[fn] He welcomed all who visited him,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:25 - They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:2 - And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:3 - Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God's judgment when you do the same things?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:22 - We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:17 - That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[fn] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:14 - Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But there is a great difference between Adam's sin and God's gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:5 - Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:3 - “LORD, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:22 - Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:28 - Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:32 - For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:36 - For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:14 - Bless those who persecute you. Don't curse them; pray that God will bless them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:26 - For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia[fn] have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:20 - The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus[fn] be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:27 - All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:21 - Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:27 - Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,
“He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:20 - And again,
“The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise;
he knows they are worthless.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:4 - If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:12 - And when you sin against other believers[fn] by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:19 - Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:20 - When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:22 - When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:10 - For this reason, and because the angels are watching, a woman should wear a covering on her head to show she is under authority.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:22 - 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 14:35 - If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:25 - For Christ must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:27 - For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.”[fn] (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.)

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:9 - In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - The old way,[fn] with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses' face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:13 - We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:10 - For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
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 7:6 - But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:4 - They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem.[fn]
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 9:2 - For I know how eager you are to help, and I have been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in Greece[fn] were ready to send an offering a year ago. In fact, it was your enthusiasm that stirred up many of the Macedonian believers to begin giving.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:3 - But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don't want to be wrong in my boasting about you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:5 - So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:2 - Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won't have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:31 - God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, who is worthy of eternal praise, knows I am not lying.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:5 - All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:17 - Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:4 - Even that question came up only because of some so-called Christians there—false ones, really[fn]—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:12 - When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision.

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:19 - I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:22 - God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:15 - He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.
