Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:4 - The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other, “A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:5 - But Paul shook off the snake into the fire and was unharmed.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:18 - The Romans tried me and wanted to release me, because they found no cause for the death sentence.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:11 - For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:20 - For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:32 - They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:3 - 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 2:9 - There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:10 - But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:15 - They demonstrate that God's law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:16 - And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone's secret life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:18 - You know what he wants; you know what is right because you have been taught his law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:11 - Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:16 - So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham's. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:18 - Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That's how many descendants you will have!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:19 - And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah's womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:12 - Do not let sin control the way you live;[fn] do not give in to sinful desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:4 - So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:5 - When we were controlled by our old nature,[fn] sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:18 - And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[fn] I want to do what is right, but I can't.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:21 - I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:4 - He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn[fn] among many brothers and sisters.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:13 - For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:11 - Did God's people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:25 - I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
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 12:2 - Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:3 - Because of the privilege and authority[fn] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:9 - Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:16 - Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:21 - Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:4 - The authorities are God's servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:7 - Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:8 - Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:13 - So let's stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:16 - Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:20 - Don't tear apart the work of God over what you eat. Remember, all foods are acceptable, but it is wrong to eat something if it makes another person stumble.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:2 - We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:5 - May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:8 - Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews[fn] to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:13 - I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:16 - I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you Gentiles. I bring you the Good News so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:19 - They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God's Spirit.[fn] In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:19 - But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 16:25 - Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:2 - I am writing to God's church in Corinth,[fn] to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus,[fn] just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:13 - Has Christ been divided into factions? Was I, Paul, crucified for you? Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? Of course not!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:15 - for now no one can say they were baptized in my name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:1 - When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I didn't use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God's secret plan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:12 - And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:6 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I have used Apollos and myself to illustrate what I've been saying. If you pay attention to what I have quoted from the Scriptures,[fn] you won't be proud of one of your leaders at the expense of another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:2 - You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:6 - Your boasting about this is terrible. Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 - Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:5 - Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won't they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:14 - In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:15 - Yet I have never used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that I want to start now. In fact, I would rather die than lose my right to boast about preaching without charge.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:18 - What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That's why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:23 - I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:24 - Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:27 - I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:3 - All of them ate the same spiritual food,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:4 - and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:6 - These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:24 - Don't be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:25 - So you may eat any meat that is sold in the marketplace without raising questions of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:27 - If someone who isn't a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:33 - I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don't just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:17 - But in the following instructions, I cannot praise you. For it sounds as if more harm than good is done when you meet together.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:20 - When you meet together, you are not really interested in the Lord's Supper.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - For some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others. As a result, some go hungry while others get drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:22 - What? Don't you have your own homes for eating and drinking? Or do you really want to disgrace God's church and shame the poor? What am I supposed to say? Do you want me to praise you? Well, I certainly will not praise you for this!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:25 - In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:26 - For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:27 - So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against[fn] the body and blood of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:29 - For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ,[fn] you are eating and drinking God's judgment upon yourself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:33 - So, my dear brothers and sisters,[fn] when you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:7 - A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:8 - To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice[fn]; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:24 - while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:25 - This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:3 - If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[fn] but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:5 - or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:10 - But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:16 - For if you praise God only in the spirit, how can those who don't understand you praise God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don't understand what you are saying?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:23 - Even so, if unbelievers or people who don't understand these things come into your church meeting and hear everyone speaking in an unknown language, they will think you are crazy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:27 - No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:39 - So, my dear brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking in tongues.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:1 - Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:37 - And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:38 - Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:57 - But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:10 - When Timothy comes, don't intimidate him. He is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:17 - I am very glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come here. They have been providing the help you weren't here to give me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:18 - They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:4 - He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
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 2:1 - So I decided that I would not bring you grief with another painful visit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:12 - When I came to the city of Troas to preach the Good News of Christ, the Lord opened a door of opportunity for me.
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 4:4 - Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:13 - But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:2 - We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - I'm not saying this to condemn you. I said before that you are in our hearts, and we live or die together with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:6 - So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:8 - I am not commanding you to do this. But I am testing how genuine your love is by comparing it with the eagerness of the other churches.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:11 - Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:14 - Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:15 - As the Scriptures say,
“Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over,
and those who gathered only a little had enough.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:13 - As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ.
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 10:13 - We will not boast about things done outside our area of authority. We will boast only about what has happened within the boundaries of the work God has given us, which includes our working with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:7 - Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God's Good News to you without expecting anything in return?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and didn't have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:2 - I have already warned those who had been sinning when I was there on my second visit. Now I again warn them and all others, just as I did before, that next time I will not spare them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:7 - We pray to God that you will not do what is wrong by refusing our correction. I hope we won't need to demonstrate our authority when we arrive. Do the right thing before we come—even if that makes it look like we have failed to demonstrate our authority.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:11 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:4 - Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:7 - but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:11 - Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:2 - I went there because God revealed to me that I should go. While I was there I met privately with those considered to be leaders of the church and shared with them the message I had been preaching to the Gentiles. I wanted to make sure that we were in agreement, for fear that all my efforts had been wasted and I was running the race for nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:7 - Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:2 - Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:5 - I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:17 - This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:6 - And because we[fn] are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:13 - Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:9 - This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:10 - I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:4 - Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:5 - For we are each responsible for our own conduct.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:8 - Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:10 - Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:9 - God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:12 - God's purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:13 - And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[fn] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:18 - I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:14 - For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:3 - As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:19 - May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:7 - However, he has given each one of us a special gift[fn] through the generosity of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:25 - So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:28 - If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:30 - And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own,[fn] guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:6 - Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:11 - Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:19 - And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:5 - for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:7 - So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:10 - For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ's return.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:23 - I'm torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:29 - For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:2 - Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:6 - Though he was God,[fn]
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:9 - Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:13 - For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:18 - Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:22 - But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:30 - For he risked his life for the work of Christ, and he was at the point of death while doing for me what you couldn't do from far away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:8 - Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:14 - I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:16 - But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:12 - We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:16 - as they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins. But the anger of God has caught up with them at last.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:17 - Dear brothers and sisters, after we were separated from you for a little while (though our hearts never left you), we tried very hard to come back because of our intense longing to see you again.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:9 - What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God's grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:12 - For he said to God,
“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.
I will praise you among your assembled people.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:14 - Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had[fn] the power of death.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 2:17 - Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[fn] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:17 - God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:19 - This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:3 - There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors—no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:18 - Yes, the old requirement about the priesthood was set aside because it was weak and useless.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:23 - There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:24 - But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 7:25 - Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save[fn] those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:3 - And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:3 - Then there was a curtain, and behind the curtain was the second room[fn] called the Most Holy Place.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:4 - In that room were a gold incense altar and a wooden chest called the Ark of the Covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing manna, Aaron's staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:5 - Above the Ark were the cherubim of divine glory, whose wings stretched out over the Ark's cover, the place of atonement. But we cannot explain these things in detail now.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:14 - Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds[fn] so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:19 - For after Moses had read each of God's commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats,[fn] along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God's law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 9:28 - so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:1 - The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:2 - If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.

as is written about me in the Scriptures.'”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:12 - But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:13 - There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:14 - For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:15 - And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:22 - let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:26 - Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:29 - Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 10:36 - Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:3 - By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:28 - It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:10 - For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God's discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:11 - No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:20 - They staggered back under God's command: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:21 - may he equip you with all you need
for doing his will.
May he produce in you,[fn]
through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:18 - He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:19 - Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:23 - For if you listen to the word and don't obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:3 - If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor”—well,
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:7 - Aren't they the ones who slander Jesus Christ, whose noble name[fn] you bear?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 2:21 - Don't you remember that our ancestor Abraham was shown to be right with God by his actions when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:2 - Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:3 - We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:6 - And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 3:11 - Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:2 - You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can't get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:5 - What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy?[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:3 - All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:9 - The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:17 - And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as “foreigners in the land.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:2 - Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:9 - But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[fn] a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:24 - He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:7 - In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:4 - I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:6 - And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:40 - For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:55 - For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:62 - Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 6:63 - The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 8:12 - Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:40 - He went beyond the Jordan River near the place where John was first baptizing and stayed there awhile.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 15:26 - “But I will send you the Advocate[fn]—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 16:13 - When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:6 - When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:16 - No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel:
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 2:29 - “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn't referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 19:16 - Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 20:28 - “So guard yourselves and God's people. Feed and shepherd God's flock—his church, purchased with his own blood[fn]—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as elders.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:36 - And the crowd followed behind, shouting, “Kill him, kill him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:5 - The high priest and the whole council of elders can testify that this is so. For I received letters from them to our Jewish brothers in Damascus, authorizing me to bring the Christians from there to Jerusalem, in chains, to be punished.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:24 - Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are here, this is the man whose death is demanded by all the Jews, both here and in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 26:7 - In fact, that is why the twelve tribes of Israel zealously worship God night and day, and they share the same hope I have. Yet, Your Majesty, they accuse me for having this hope!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:25 - And after they had argued back and forth among themselves, they left with this final word from Paul: “The Holy Spirit was right when he said to your ancestors through Isaiah the prophet,

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:15 - So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:19 - They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:2 - And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:4 - Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:24 - No wonder the Scriptures say, “The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:1 - Then what's the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:8 - And some people even slander us by claiming that we say, “The more we sin, the better it is!” Those who say such things deserve to be condemned.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:14 - “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:13 - Clearly, God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God's law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:18 - Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That's how many descendants you will have!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:15 - But there is a great difference between Adam's sin and God's gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:16 - And the result of God's gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man's sin. For Adam's sin led to condemnation, but God's free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:20 - God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:6 - We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:21 - And what was the result? You are now ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:22 - But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:18 - And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[fn] I want to do what is right, but I can't.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:21 - I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature.[fn] So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:7 - For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:10 - And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life[fn] because you have been made right with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:16 - For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:27 - And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers[fn] in harmony with God's own will.
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 9:17 - For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:20 - No, don't say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:27 - And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out,
“Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore,
only a remnant will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:8 - In fact, it says,
“The message is very close at hand;
it is on your lips and in your heart.”[fn] And that message is the very message about faith that we preach:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:6 - And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:12 - Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God's offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:16 - And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:25 - I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:2 - Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:18 - Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.”[fn] These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:21 - It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:6 - This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:25 - This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:4 - And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:10 - But[fn] it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 2:11 - No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:13 - But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:14 - If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:15 - But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:16 - Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in[fn] you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:5 - Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed[fn] and he himself[fn] will be saved on the day the Lord[fn] returns.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:6 - Your boasting about this is terrible. Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:7 - Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:13 - You say, “Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.” (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:26 - Because of the present crisis,[fn] I think it is best to remain as you are.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:1 - Am I not as free as anyone else? Am I not an apostle? Haven't I seen Jesus our Lord with my own eyes? Isn't it because of my work that you belong to the Lord?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:16 - When we bless the cup at the Lord's Table, aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren't we sharing in the body of Christ?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:26 - For “the earth is the LORD's, and everything in it.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:28 - (But suppose someone tells you, “This meat was offered to an idol.” Don't eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:5 - But a woman dishonors her head[fn] if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:6 - Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair! But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear a covering.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:24 - and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you.[fn] Do this to remember me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:25 - In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:4 - There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:11 - It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:12 - The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:14 - Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:16 - And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:17 - If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:19 - How strange a body would be if it had only one part!
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:10 - But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:7 - Even lifeless instruments like the flute or the harp must play the notes clearly, or no one will recognize the melody.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:9 - It's the same for you. If you speak to people in words they don't understand, how will they know what you are saying? You might as well be talking into empty space.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:14 - For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don't understand what I am saying.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:14 - And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:24 - After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:32 - And what value was there in fighting wild beasts—those people of Ephesus[fn]—if there will be no resurrection from the dead? And if there is no resurrection, “Let's feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:46 - What comes first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:53 - For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:54 - Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,[fn] this Scripture will be fulfilled:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:55 - O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:56 - For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:11 - And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness[fn] and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God's grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:17 - You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say “Yes” when they really mean “No”?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:6 - He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:11 - So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:14 - But the people's minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:16 - But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
