Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:37 - As Paul was about to be taken inside, he said to the commander, “May I have a word with you?”
“Do you know Greek?” the commander asked, surprised.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 21:40 - The commander agreed, so Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people to be quiet. Soon a deep silence enveloped the crowd, and he addressed them in their own language, Aramaic.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 22:26 - When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:9 - So there was a great uproar. Some of the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees jumped up and began to argue forcefully. “We see nothing wrong with him,” they shouted. “Perhaps a spirit or an angel spoke to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:15 - So you and the high council should ask the commander to bring Paul back to the council again. Pretend you want to examine his case more fully. We will kill him on the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:16 - But Paul's nephew—his sister's son—heard of their plan and went to the fortress and told Paul.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:26 - “From Claudius Lysias, to his Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings!
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 23:33 - When they arrived in Caesarea, they presented Paul and the letter to Governor Felix.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:15 - The sailors couldn't turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:27 - About midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, as we were being driven across the Sea of Adria,[fn] the sailors sensed land was near.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 27:31 - But Paul said to the commanding officer and the soldiers, “You will all die unless the sailors stay aboard.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 28:17 - Three days after Paul's arrival, he called together the local Jewish leaders. He said to them, “Brothers, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Roman government, even though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:8 - Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:16 - 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 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 2:11 - For God does not show favoritism.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:13 - For merely listening to the law doesn't make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:17 - You who call yourselves Jews are relying on God's law, and you boast about your special relationship with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 2:20 - You think you can instruct the ignorant and teach children the ways of God. For you are certain that God's law gives you complete knowledge and truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:4 - Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him,
“You will be proved right in what you say,
and you will win your case in court.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:19 - Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
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 4:3 - For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:4 - When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:5 - But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:9 - Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles?[fn] Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:13 - Clearly, God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God's law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 4:20 - Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:10 - For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:11 - So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 5:21 - So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:10 - When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:11 - So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:13 - Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 6:17 - Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.
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 7:2 - For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:4 - 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 7:16 - But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.
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 7:22 - I love God's law with all my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:23 - But there is another power[fn] within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 7:25 - Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
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 8:39 - No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:12 - he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:14 - Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:15 - For God said to Moses,
“I will show mercy to anyone I choose,
and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”[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 9:25 - Concerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea,
“Those who were not my people,
I will now call my people.
And I will love those
whom I did not love before.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:26 - And,
“Then, at the place where they were told,
‘You are not my people,'
there they will be called
‘children of the living God.'”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:32 - Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law[fn] instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 10:4 - For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given.[fn] As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:5 - It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel[fn] have remained faithful because of God's grace—his undeserved kindness in choosing them.
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 11:30 - Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:1 - And so, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[fn]
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 12:11 - Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.[fn]
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 13:9 - 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 13:10 - Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:4 - Who are you to condemn someone else's servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord's help, they will stand and receive his approval.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:5 - In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:6 - Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:8 - If we live, it's to honor the Lord. And if we die, it's to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:11 - For the Scriptures say,
“‘As surely as I live,' says the LORD,
‘every knee will bend to me,
and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.[fn]'”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:12 - Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
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 14:14 - I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 14:18 - If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.
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 15:13 - 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 16:18 - Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:4 - I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 1:10 - 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 1:14 - I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:18 - Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,
“He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:9 - Instead, I sometimes think God has put us apostles on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor's parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world—to people and angels alike.
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 5:11 - I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer[fn] yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:13 - 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 6:17 - But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:11 - But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the Christian wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the Christian husband[fn] brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:24 - Each of you, dear brothers and sisters,[fn] should remain as you were when God first called you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:32 - I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:34 - His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 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 8:8 - It's true that we can't win God's approval by what we eat. We don't lose anything if we don't eat it, and we don't gain anything if we do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:9 - For the law of Moses says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.”[fn] Was God thinking only about oxen when he said this?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:13 - The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:13 - Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:21 - 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 11:32 - Yet when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
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 14:11 - But if I don't understand a language, I will be a foreigner to someone who speaks it, and the one who speaks it will be a foreigner to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:15 - Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit,[fn] and I will also pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will also sing in words I understand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:18 - I thank God that I speak in tongues more than any of you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:21 - It is written in the Scriptures[fn]:
“I will speak to my own people
through strange languages
and through the lips of foreigners.
But even then, they will not listen to me,”[fn]
says the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:25 - As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:28 - But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent in your church meeting and speak in tongues to God privately.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:22 - Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
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 15:28 - Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God's authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:31 - For I swear, dear brothers and sisters, that I face death daily. This is as certain as my pride in what Christ Jesus our Lord has done in you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 15:57 - But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:16 - to submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion.
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 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 1:20 - 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 2:6 - Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:13 - But I had no peace of mind because my dear brother Titus hadn't yet arrived with a report from you. So I said good-bye and went on to Macedonia to find him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:15 - Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:15 - He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:20 - So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:5 - They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.
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 8:16 - But thank God! He has given Titus the same enthusiasm for you that I have.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:10 - For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity[fn] in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:11 - Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:12 - So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem[fn] will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:15 - Thank God for this gift[fn] too wonderful for words!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:4 - [fn]We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:11 - Those people should realize that our actions when we arrive in person will be as forceful as what we say in our letters from far away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:2 - For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride[fn] to one husband—Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:6 - I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I'm not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:25 - Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:13 - You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God's church. I did my best to destroy it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:14 - I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 2:14 - When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:6 - In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:8 - What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:9 - So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:11 - So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.[fn] And notice that the Scripture doesn't say “to his children,[fn]” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:18 - For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God's promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - If someone is eager to do good things for you, that's all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I'm with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:6 - Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:12 - Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don't want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:14 - As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross,[fn] my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:16 - May God's peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:6 - So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:10 - And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
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 1:15 - Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:20 - that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 1:21 - Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:5 - that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:12 - In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:16 - Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:20 - Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:6 - And this is God's plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God's children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:8 - Though I am the least deserving of all God's people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:9 - I was chosen to explain to everyone[fn] this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:11 - This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:3 - Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:21 - Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:26 - And “don't sin by letting anger control you.”[fn] Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:27 - for anger gives a foothold to the devil.
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 5:2 - Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us[fn] and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:10 - Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:19 - singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:20 - And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:22 - For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:24 - As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:5 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:7 - Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:3 - Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:10 - I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 3:16 - But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:13 - For I can do everything through Christ,[fn] who gives me strength.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:18 - At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 4:20 - Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:3 - We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:5 - which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:6 - This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God's wonderful grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 1:12 - always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:14 - He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:20 - You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:1 - Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:3 - For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:16 - Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:17 - And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:20 - Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:23 - Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:24 - Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:9 - I am also sending Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, one of your own people. He and Tychicus will tell you everything that's happening here.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 1:2 - We always thank God for all of you and pray for you constantly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:2 - You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:4 - For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:13 - Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:3 - and to keep you from being shaken by the troubles you were going through. But you know that we are destined for such troubles.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 3:9 - How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter God's presence.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 1:3 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] we can't help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.

Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:14 - Take note of those who refuse to obey what we say in this letter. Stay away from them so they will be ashamed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:12 - I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:17 - All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.

as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:9 - Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn't we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:28 - Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:15 - Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:5 - And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are his holy priests.[fn] Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:8 - And,
“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
the rock that makes them fall.”[fn] They stumble because they do not obey God's word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:23 - He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
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 3:1 - In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:18 - Christ suffered[fn] for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:15 - Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:16 - For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:24 - So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 3:14 - If we love our Christian brothers and sisters,[fn] it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:3 - But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 4:4 - But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:21 - Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:12 - If you support others who preach to you, shouldn't we have an even greater right to be supported? But we have never used this right. We would rather put up with anything than be an obstacle to the Good News about Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:13 - Don't you realize that those who work in the temple get their meals from the offerings brought to the temple? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings.
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 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 14:15 - Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit,[fn] and I will also pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will also sing in words I understand.
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 Box2Co 2:13 - But I had no peace of mind because my dear brother Titus hadn't yet arrived with a report from you. So I said good-bye and went on to Macedonia to find him.
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 4:10 - Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:4 - While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it's not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:11 - Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - We are also sending another brother with Titus. All the churches praise him as a preacher of the Good News.
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.
