bwe@Info @ DESCRIPTION: The Bible in Worldwide English (BWE)\par This New Testament was originally prepared by Annie Cressman, who died in 1993. She was a Canadian Bible teacher in Liberia in West Africa. Whilst teaching students in a Bible School where the language used was English, she found that she was spending more time explaining the meaning of the English than she was teaching the Bible itself. So she decided to write this simple version in easy English so that her students could easily understand.\par\par In 1959 the Full Gospel Publishing House in Toronto, Canada, printed a trial edition of the Gospel of Mark. A further edition was published in 1962 by the American Bible Society. The whole New Testament was first published by SOON Publications in India in 1969 in hardback form. This was assisted by Operation Mobilisation (OM) and was reprinted in 1971.\par\...in conjunction with EPH and OM....
bwe@Matthew:1:2 @ Jesus family line: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Perez (his mother was Tamar), Zezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, David the king, Solomon (whose mother was Uriahs wife)...Amon, Josiah, Jeconiah and his...(at the time the people of Israel were carried away to Babylon)...Eleazor, Matthan, Jacob and Joseph...
bwe@Matthew:1:17 @ There were fourteen families from Abraham to David. There were fourteen families from David to the time the people were taken to Babylon. And there were fourteen families after that until Christ was born.
bwe@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard what the king said, they went away. And the star, which they had seen rising, went in front of them. It stopped above the place where the child was.
bwe@Matthew:4:13 @...the town of Nazareth and went...(of Galilee)...the district of Zebulun and... Naphtali.
bwe@Matthew:4:16 @ And he said, The people who lived in darkness have seen a great Light. Light has come to those who lived in a land covered by the dark shadow of death.
bwe@Matthew:5:16 @ So, let your light shine to all people. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father in heaven.
bwe@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you, no man may send away his wife unless she has committed adultery. If he does send her away, he is making her commit adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away from her husband, he commits adultery.
bwe@Matthew:6:28 @ And why are you troubled about clothes? See how the flowers grow in the fields. They do not work or make cloth.
bwe@Matthew:7:4 @ Why do you say to your brother, "Let me take the dust out of your eye"? And all the time you have that stick in your own eye!
bwe@Matthew:7:8 @ Everyone who asks will get. The one who looks will find. And the one who knocks will have the door opened for him.
bwe@Matthew:8:2 @ A man who had leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi&...in front of Jesus and worshipped...
bwe@Matthew:10:24 @ The one who learns is not better than his teacher. And the servant is not better than his master.
bwe@Matthew:10:25 @ The one who learns should want to be like his teacher. And the servant should want to be like his master. If they say the master belongs to the devil, they will say it all the more about those who work for him.
bwe@Matthew:10:40 @ Anyone who takes you in, takes me in. And anyone who takes me in, takes in the one who sent me.
bwe@Matthew:10:42 @ And if any one as a disciple gives a drink of cold water to one of my children, he will not lose his reward. I tell you the truth.
bwe@Matthew:11:11 @ I tell you the truth. No one has ever been born who is greater than John the Baptizer. And yet the smallest one in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
bwe@Matthew:11:12 @ From the time of John until now, people try hard to break into the kingdom of heaven. And strong people take hold of it.
bwe@Matthew:13:15 @ The hearts of these people have no feeling. They do not hear well with their ears. And they have shut their eyes. They do not want to see with their eyes. They do not want to hear with their ears. They do not want to understand in their hearts. They do not want to turn to me. If they did turn, I would heal them."
bwe@Matthew:13:50 @ They will put the bad people into the never-...There they will cry and make...
bwe@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was very sorry to do this. But he had made a promise. And all the people who were there had heard him promise. So he gave orders to do it.

bwe@Matthew:15:21 @...the country of Tyre and Sidon....22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.
bwe@Matthew:15:27 @ Then Jesus answered, Woman, you believe very much. The thing you want me to do will be done. And her daughter was healed at that very time.
bwe@Matthew:15:29 @ Many people came to him. They brought sick people with them. Some were lame. Some were hurt. Some were blind. Some could not talk. And there were many others. They laid them down in front of Jesus. And he healed them.
bwe@Matthew:15:30 @ The people were surprised. They saw that people who had not been able to talk were talking. They saw that people who were hurt were made well. They saw that lame people were walking. They saw that blind people could see. And they praised the God of Israel.
bwe@Matthew:16:14 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
bwe@Matthew:16:25 @ Anyone who wants to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.
bwe@Matthew:17:12 @ I tell you that Elijah has come already. The people did not know him. And they did to him just what they wanted to do. So also the Son of Man will be troubled by them.
bwe@Matthew:17:20 @ Jesus said to them, Because you do not believe enough. I tell you the truth. If your strength to believe were as much as a little mustard seed, you could say to this hill, "Go, move over to that place!" And it would move. Nothing is too hard for you to do.
bwe@Matthew:17:21 @...unless people ask God and fast...<FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.
bwe@Matthew:17:27 @ But we must not make them think something wrong about us. So go to the sea. Throw a fish-...of money. Take it and pay...
bwe@Matthew:18:10 @ Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.
bwe@Matthew:18:12 @ What do you think about this? A man has a hundred sheep. One of them is lost. Will he not leave the ninety-...sheep on the hills and go...
bwe@Matthew:19:24 @ And I tell you this also. It is easier for a big animal like a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
bwe@Matthew:19:29 @ If anyone has left his house, his brothers, his sisters, his father, his mother, his children, or his farms for my sake, he will receive a hundred times as much as he has left. And he will live for ever.
bwe@Matthew:20:4 @ He said to them, "You go out to work on the farm too. I will pay you what is right." And they went to work.

bwe@Matthew:22:21 @ They said, Caesars.Then he said to them, Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give to God what belongs to God.
bwe@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered, You are wrong! You do not know what the holy writings say. And you do not know what power God has.
bwe@Matthew:22:46 @ No one could answer him a word. And after that day, everyone feared to ask him any more questions.
bwe@Matthew:23:8 @ But people should not call you "Teacher". You have one Teacher. And you are all brothers.
bwe@Matthew:23:12 @ Anyone who puts himself up will be brought down. And anyone who puts himself down will be brought up.
bwe@Matthew:23:18 @ And you say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of Gods altar, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the sacrifice, he must keep that promise.
bwe@Matthew:24:7 @ One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The people will have no food to eat. Many people will be sick. The earth will shake in many different places.
bwe@Matthew:24:14 @ This good news about the kingdom will be told in all the world. The people in all countries must know about it. And then the end will come.
bwe@Matthew:24:21 @ The trouble then will be bigger than any other trouble since God made the world. And there never will be any trouble as big as that.
bwe@Matthew:24:29 @ Right after that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.
bwe@Matthew:24:51 @...People there will cry and grind...<FI>make a noise with<Fi> their teeth.
bwe@Matthew:25:18 @ But the man who had only one bag of money dug a hole in the ground. And he hid his masters money in the ground.
bwe@Matthew:25:46 @ And they will go away to be punished for ever. But the good people will go away to live for ever.
bwe@Matthew:26:16 @ And from then on, Judas watched for a good way to help them catch Jesus. Supper
bwe@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. The holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."
bwe@Matthew:27:24 @ Pilate saw that he was not doing any good. And the people were making a lot of loud noise. So he washed his hands in water in front of the people. Then he said, I will not say this man must be killed. You must do that.
bwe@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money. They did as they were told to do. And even to this day, many of the Jewish leaders say this is what happened to Jesus.
bwe@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many sick people. He drove the bad spirits out of people. And he did not let them speak because they knew who he was.
bwe@Mark:1:40 @ A man who was sick with leprosy <FI>a bad skin disease<Fi&...him. He kneeled down and begged...
bwe@Mark:2:18 ...Johns disciples and the...<FI>not eating food for a time<Fi&...The disciples of John and of...
bwe@Mark:4:24 @ And Jesus said, Take care how you listen. How much you give to others is how much will be given to you. You who obey God will get more than you give.
bwe@Mark:4:26 @ And Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like this. A man sows some seed in the ground.
bwe@Mark:4:30 @ And Jesus said, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I say it is like?
bwe@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them what had happened to the man who used to have many bad spirits. And they told about the pigs.
bwe@Mark:8:28 @ They answered, People say that you are John the Baptizer. Others say that you are Elijah. And others say that you are one of the prophets from long ago.
bwe@Mark:10:11 @...sends away his wife and marries...<FI>He takes another woman who is not his wife.<Fi>
bwe@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, You are wrong! You do not know what the holy writings say. And you do not know what power God has.
bwe@Mark:12:30 @ Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. And love him with all your strength."
bwe@Mark:13:8 @ One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The earth will shake in many different places. People will have no food to eat. These troubles are only the beginning of the troubles that will come.
bwe@Mark:13:19 @ The trouble then will be bigger than any trouble since God made the world. And there never will be any trouble as big as that.
bwe@Mark:13:25 @ The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.
bwe@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. the holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."
bwe@Mark:14:45 @ So when he came, he went to Jesus right away. He said, Master! And he kissed him.
bwe@Luke:1:2 @ These things were told us by men who saw them happen from the time they began to happen. And these men helped tell the good news.
bwe@Luke:1:3 @ I have tried to find out all that has happened from the beginning. And so, Theophilus, great ruler, I myself will write you the whole story.
bwe@Luke:1:9 @...temple of the Lord and burn...<FI>that smells sweet when it is burned<Fi>.
bwe@Luke:1:65 @ Everyone who lived around there began to wonder at these things. And everywhere in the hill country of Judea, all these things were talked about.
bwe@Luke:2:37 @ Then her husband died. Now she had been alone for eighty-...She talked with God and fasted...<FI>did not eat food for a time<Fi>.
bwe@Luke:3:22 @ The Holy Spirit came down upon him like a dove. And a voice from the sky said, You are my dear Son. I am very pleased with you.
bwe@Luke:4:11 @ And "They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."
bwe@Luke:4:19 @ and to tell people that the year when the Lord will help them has come.
bwe@Luke:4:24 @ And he went on to say, I tell you the truth. No prophet of God is accepted by the people in his own country.
bwe@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, The disciples or followers of John are often fasting <FI>not eating for a time<Fi&...But your disciples eat and... drink.
bwe@Luke:6:13 @...chose twelve of them and called...<FI>special messengers<Fi>.
bwe@Luke:6:41 @ Why do you look at the small piece of dust in your brothers eye? And you do not see the big stick in your own eye.
bwe@Luke:6:43 @ A good tree does not have bad fruit. And also, a bad tree does not have good fruit.
bwe@Luke:6:44 @ Every kind of tree is known by its fruit. People do not pick fruit like figs from thorn trees. And they do not pick grapes from bramble bushes.
bwe@Luke:7:12 @ He came near the gate of the town. There he met people carrying out a man who had died. He was the only son of his mother. And her husband was dead too. Many people from the city were with her.
bwe@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, no one has ever been born who is greater than John. And yet, the smallest one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
bwe@Luke:7:40 @ Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it.
bwe@Luke:8:3 @ Another one was Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who worked for Herod. Another one was Susanna. And there were many others who gave what they could to help him.
bwe@Luke:9:3 @ He said, Take nothing with you for your trip. Do not take a walking stick, or a bag, or food, or money. And do not take two shirts.
bwe@Luke:9:8 @ Some people said Elijah had come back. And other people said that one of the old prophets of God had risen from death.
bwe@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say that one of the old prophets of God has risen from death.
bwe@Luke:9:23 @ And He said to all the people, If anyone wants to come with me, he must leave what he himself wants to do. Every day he must take up his cross <FI>be ready to die<Fi> and come with me.
bwe@Luke:9:24 @ Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.
bwe@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand what he said. The meaning was hidden from them so they would not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about it.
bwe@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said, If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. And if anyone takes in me, he takes in the one who sent me. The one who takes the least or lowest place among you is the greatest.
bwe@Luke:9:56 @ The Son of Man did not come to kill people, but to save them. And they went on to another town.
bwe@Luke:10:4 @ Do not take money, or a bag, or shoes. And do not stop to talk with anyone on the road.
bwe@Luke:10:42 @ Only one thing is needed. What Mary has chosen is good. And it will not be taken away from her.
bwe@Luke:11:10 @ Everyone who asks will get. The one who looks will find. And the one who knocks will have the door opened for him.
bwe@Luke:11:17 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is spoiled. And if one part of any family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.
bwe@Luke:11:43 @ You Pharisees will have trouble! In the meeting houses you want to sit in the front seats. And in the market you want people to greet you.
bwe@Luke:11:51 @ I mean all the blood from the time of Abel to the time of Zechariah. (...between the holy table and the...) Yes, I tell you. The people who are living now will be punished for all of it.
bwe@Luke:12:8 @ And I tell you. If anyone tells people that he knows me, the Son of Man will also tell the angels of God that he knows him.
bwe@Luke:12:39 @ And remember this. If the owner of a house knew at what time a man would come to steal, he would not let the man break into his house.
bwe@Luke:12:52 @ From now, if there are five in a family, they will be against each other. Three of them will be against the other two. And two of them will be against the other three.
bwe@Luke:12:54 @ Jesus also said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say right away, "Rain is coming." And it comes.
bwe@Luke:12:55 @ When the wind is blowing from the south, you say, "It will be very hot." And it is.
bwe@Luke:14:11 @ Everyone who puts himself up in a high place will be brought down to a low place. And everyone who puts himself down in a low place will be brought up to a high place.
bwe@Luke:14:27 @ If anyone does not carry his cross <FI>is not ready to die<Fi> and come with me, he cannot be my disciple.
bwe@Luke:15:4 @ He said, Which one of you will not do this? A man has a hundred sheep. He loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and he goes to look for the one that is lost. He looks until he finds it.
bwe@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he is very glad. He carries it on his back.
bwe@Luke:15:29 @ But the son said to his father, "Look. I have worked hard for you for many years. I have always done everything you told me to do. And yet you never even gave me a young goat to make a feast with my friends.
bwe@Luke:15:31 @ The father said, "Son you have always been with me. And all that I have is yours.
bwe@Luke:17:33 @ Anyone who wants to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life will keep it.
bwe@Luke:18:6 @ The Lord said, The judge was a bad man. And yet you should listen to what he says.
bwe@Luke:18:9 @ There were some people who thought they were very good. And they thought that other people were not good. Jesus told this story to them.
bwe@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, when this man went home, he was right with God. The other one was not. Everyone who puts himself up in a high place will be brought down to a low place. And everyone who puts himself in a low place will be brought up to a high place.
bwe@Luke:18:20 @ You know the laws, "Do not commit adultery. <FI>Do not take a man or woman who is not your husband or wife.<Fi&...lies. Respect your father and your...
bwe@Luke:18:30 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his wife, or his brothers, or his father, or his mother, or his children for the sake of the kingdom of God, he will receive many times as much as he has left. He will receive that in this world. And in the next world he will live for ever.
bwe@Luke:21:2 @ And he saw a poor woman whose husband was dead. She put in two small pieces of money.
bwe@Luke:21:8 @ He said, Take care. Do not let anyone fool you. Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am Christ." And they will say, "The time is now." Do not go after them.
bwe@Luke:21:10 @ Then he said, One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country.
bwe@Luke:21:11 @ In some places the earth will shake very much. In many places the people will have no food to eat. And many people will be sick. There will be things to make people fear. There will be big signs in the sky.
bwe@Luke:22:26 @ But it must not be so among you. The one who is greatest among you must be like the most unimportant. And the leader must be like one who helps others.
bwe@Luke:22:32 @ But I have talked to God about you, Simon, so that you will keep on believing in me. And when you come back, then help your brothers to be strong.
bwe@Luke:22:37 @ The holy writings say, "He was counted as one of the bad people." And I tell you, that means me. And the things that are written about me must happen to me.
bwe@Luke:22:38 @ The disciples said, Look, Lord, here are two swords. And he answered, That is enough.
bwe@Luke:22:60 @ Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And right then, while he was talking, the cock called.
bwe@Luke:23:8 @ He was glad to see Jesus. He had heard about him. And he had wanted to see him for a long time. He was hoping that he would see Jesus do a big work.
bwe@Luke:23:23 @ But they shouted all the more loudly, saying, Nail him to a cross! And Pilate gave in to their shouting.
bwe@Luke:23:25 @ He let the other man go free. (...prison because he fought and had...) And Pilate did to Jesus what they wanted him to do.
bwe@Luke:23:33 @ They came to the place called Calvary (the head bone.)...right side of Jesus and one...
bwe@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, I tell you the truth. Today you will be with me in Gods garden of paradise.
bwe@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day before the Sabbath. And it was almost time for the Sabbath to begin.
bwe@Luke:24:23 @ Some of us went to the grave. And they found everything just as the women said. But they did not see Jesus.
bwe@Luke:24:30 @ Then they saw who he was. They knew him. And then suddenly they could not see him any more.
bwe@John:1:10 @ He, the Word, was in the world. Yes, he even made the world. And yet the world did not know him.
bwe@John:1:42 @...Jesus looked at him and said,...(Cephas means Peter, a rock or stone.)
bwe@John:2:11 @ This was the first big work that Jesus did. It was in Cana in Galilee. He showed that he was great. And his disciples believed in him.
bwe@John:4:1 @...people to follow him and was...(Jesus disciples baptized them, not he himself.) He now had more followers than John.
bwe@John:4:8 @...You are a Jew and I...(The Jews are not friends with the people of Samaria.)
bwe@John:4:9 @ Jesus answered her, You do not know what God gives people. And you do not know who is asking you for a drink. If you knew him, then it is you who would have asked for a drink of water. He would give you living water.
bwe@John:4:27 @ The woman left her water-pot and went back to the town.
bwe@John:5:18 @ This was why the leaders of the Jews tried much more to kill Jesus. He had broken the law of the Sabbath day. And also he called God his Father. In that way, he was making himself equal with God.
bwe@John:5:26 @ My Father has life in himself. And so he has made his Son to have life in himself.
bwe@John:6:39 @ My Father sent me. He wants me to lose nothing that he has given me. And he wants me to raise it up on the last day.
bwe@John:6:70 @ Jesus said to them, Did I not choose you twelve? And one of you is a devil!
bwe@John:8:48 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We say what is true. We say that you come from Samaria. And we say that a bad spirit is in you.
bwe@John:8:52 @ The leaders of the Jews said to him, Now we know it is true that a bad spirit is in you. Abraham died. So did the prophets. And yet you say, "If anyone obeys my word, he will never die."
bwe@John:9:7 @ And he said, Go. wash your eyes in that water hole called Siloam. (Siloam means Sent.)... The man went and washed...
bwe@John:9:20 @ The parents answered, We know that this is our son. And we know that he was born blind.
bwe@John:9:34 @ They answered, You have been a bad man ever since you were born! Now are you trying to teach us? And with that they put him out of the meeting place.
bwe@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, I came into the world so that people may be judged. I came so that those who are blind may see. And I came so that those who see may become blind.
bwe@John:10:26 @ And yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep. I told you this before.
bwe@John:12:32 @ And as for me, if they lift me up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.
bwe@John:13:1 @ Before the Passover Feast had started, Jesus saw that the time had come for him to leave this world. The time had come for him to go back to his Father. He loved his own people who were in the world. And he loved them the same way right to the end.
bwe@John:13:2 ...He and his...(Judas was the son of Simon Iscariot.)
bwe@John:13:31 @ When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is very great. And he has made Gods name great.
bwe@John:14:12 @ I tell you the truth. The person who believes in me will do the big work that I do. And he will do even bigger work because I go to my Father.
bwe@John:14:18 @ I will not leave you without someone to help you. And I myself will come back to you.
bwe@John:15:2 @ He takes away from me every branch that does not bear fruit. And he cleans every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
bwe@John:15:10 @ If you obey me, I will love you always. That is what I have done. I have obeyed my Father. And he will love me always.
bwe@John:16:22 @ So you also are very sad now. But I will see you again. Then you will be very glad. And no one can take your joy from you.
bwe@John:16:27 @ My Father himself loves you. He loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that God sent me.
bwe@John:16:32 @ Listen, the time is coming. No, the time is here when you will run away. Every man will go to his own home. You will leave me on my own. And yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.
bwe@John:17:8 @ I have told them the things that you told me to tell them. And they have believed my words. They know it is true that I was with you before I came. They have believed that you sent me.
bwe@John:17:10 @ All those I have are yours. And all you have are mine. And they make my name great.
bwe@John:18:7 @ So Jesus asked them again, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus from Nazareth.
bwe@John:18:27 @ Again Peter said, No! And just then a cock called out.
bwe@John:19:27 @ And he said to the disciple, See your mother! From that time on, that disciple took her to live in his own home.
bwe@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also came. He was the one who had come to Jesus at night. He brought with him a heavy bag of sweet-smelling spices called myrrh and aloes. It was mixed together.
bwe@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene went to the disciples. She said, I have seen the Lord! And she told them what he had said to her.
bwe@John:20:31 @ But these things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And when you believe in his name, then he will give you power to live.
bwe@Acts:1:20 @ The book of Psalms says, "His house must be empty. No one may live in it." And it also says, "Someone else must do his work."
bwe@Acts:2:21 @ And anyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved."

bwe@Acts:4:25 @ Our father David was your servant. Through him you said by the Holy Spirit, "Why are the people who are not Jews so angry? And why do the people plan things for nothing?
bwe@Acts:4:31 @ When they had talked to God, the room they were in shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they spoke the word of God without fear.
bwe@Acts:4:33 @ With much power the apostles told how the Lord Jesus was raised from death. And God blessed them all very much.
bwe@Acts:5:23 @ They said, The prison was locked very well. And the police were guarding the doors. But when we opened the doors, no one was inside.

bwe@Acts:9:19 @ And when he had eaten food, he was strong again. Saul stayed for some days with the disciples at Damascus.
bwe@Acts:10:17 @ I have seen a strange thing, Peter said to himself. I wonder what it all means. He was thinking about all this. And the men whom Cornelius sent had asked the way to Simons house. Now they stood at the gate.
bwe@Acts:11:15 @ And when I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them just as he had come on us at the beginning.
bwe@Acts:11:30 @...so. They sent Barnabas and Saul...<FI>in Jerusalem<Fi>.
bwe@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was kept in prison. And the church people asked God to help him.
bwe@Acts:12:12 @ And when he thought about this, he went to Marys house. Mary was John Marks mother. Many people were meeting there, talking to God <FI>about Peter<Fi>.

bwe@Acts:13:32 @ And we are bringing you this good news. God made a promise to our fathers long ago. Now he has made his promise come true.
bwe@Acts:14:12 @ They named Barnabas, Jupiter. And they named Paul, Mercury, because he was the one who talked.
bwe@Acts:15:5 @...Pharisee group stood up and said,...<FI>like the Jews<Fi>. We must tell them to keep all the laws of Moses.
bwe@Acts:15:10 @ So now why are you doing what God did not do? You give the disciples a hard thing to do. Our fathers could not do it. And we cannot do it.
bwe@Acts:15:11 @ We believe that the Lord Jesus saves us because he is kind. And that is why he saves them.
bwe@Acts:16:20 @ When they had brought them before the judges, they said, These men are Jews. And they are making much trouble in our city.
bwe@Acts:16:24 @ And so the guard put them in the back room in the prison. They locked their feet in holes cut in heavy pieces of wood.

bwe@Acts:19:19 @ Many had been witch-...They brought their books and burned...50,000 silver coins.
bwe@Acts:19:24 @ A man named Demetrius made things from silver. He made little silver houses like the big house of the idol-god Diana. He and other men got much money from this work.
bwe@Acts:19:35 @ At last the city chief stopped the shouting. He said, Men of Ephesus, everyone knows that all the people of Ephesus take care of the house of the great Diana. And they take care of the stone which fell from the sky.
bwe@Acts:20:22 @ And now I feel in my spirit that I must go to Jerusalem. I do not know what will happen to me there.
bwe@Acts:20:38 @ They were sad most of all because he had said they would not see him again. And they went with him to the boat.
bwe@Acts:21:29 @ They said this because they had seen a man from Ephesus named Trophimus. He was in the city with Paul. And they thought that Paul had brought him into the temple.
bwe@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, "Lord, they know that I put in prison those who believed in you. I beat them in all the meeting houses.
bwe@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man to be a real trouble-...all over the world and causes...-maker of the Nazarene group.
bwe@Acts:26:10 @ I did this in Jerusalem. The chief priests gave me power. I put many of Gods people in prison. And when they were killed, I agreed to it.
bwe@Acts:26:15 @ I said, "Who are you, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus, the one you are troubling.
bwe@Acts:26:17 @ I will keep you safe from your own people, the Jews. And I will keep you safe from those who are not Jews. I am sending you to them.
bwe@Acts:27:2 @ We got on a boat which was from the city of Adramyttium. This boat was going along the coast of Asia Minor. And so we went out to sea. A man named Aristarchus from the city of Thessalonica in Macedonia came with us also.
bwe@Acts:27:7 @ We went slowly for many days. And after much trouble, we reached the city of Cnidus. The wind was blowing hard against us. We could not go on. So we went around the south side of the island of Crete, past Cape Salmone.
bwe@Acts:27:19 @ And the third day they threw off the things they used on the boat, with their own hands.
bwe@Acts:27:24 @ He said, "Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar. And see, God has given you the lives of all these men who are travelling with you."
bwe@Acts:28:9 @ After this, other sick people on the island came to Paul. And they too were healed.
bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.
bwe@Romans:1:25 @...a lie. They worshipped and worked...-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!
bwe@Romans:2:1 @ Do you judge another people? You your-...things. You judge them and yet...
bwe@Romans:2:2 @ We know that God judges people who do such things. And he judges them by what is true.
bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi&...who know the law and did...
bwe@Romans:2:28 @ If a person is a Jew only on the outside, he is not really a Jew. And true circumcision is not something that is done on the outside of the body.
bwe@Romans:3:30 @ He will put right people who have been circumcised <FI>the Jews<Fi> because they believe. And he will also put right people who are not circumcised when they believe.
bwe@Romans:4:3 @ What do the holy writings say? It says, Abraham believed God. And God said that he was a good man.
bwe@Romans:4:14 @ If the world will belong to people who obey the law, it is of no use to believe God. And the promise is no good.
bwe@Romans:5:3 @ And not only is that true, but we are very happy in our troubles, because we know that trouble makes us stronger.
bwe@Romans:5:5 @ We will not be disappointed by this hope. God has given us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has put Gods love in our hearts.
bwe@Romans:5:12 @ One man <FI>Adam<Fi> did a wrong thing. And the wrong thing he did made him die. So all men die because all have done wrong things.
bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.
bwe@Romans:5:19 @ One man did not obey. And so many people were bad people. One man obeyed. And so many people will be made right with God.
bwe@Romans:6:10 @ He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.
bwe@Romans:6:17 @ You were at one time slaves to wrong things. But I praise God that you obeyed what your teachers taught you. And you obeyed because you wanted to obey.
bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
bwe@Romans:7:5 @ One time we lived in the way our bodies wanted to live. The law made us think about doing wrong things. And we did things that made us die.
bwe@Romans:7:13 @ So did that good thing make me die? No. The wrong things I did made me die, because that good thing showed they were wrong. And the law shows that the wrong things are very, very bad.
bwe@Romans:7:16 @ And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
bwe@Romans:7:23 @ But I see that in my body there is another law fighting against the law in my mind. And that makes me like a prisoner to the law of wrong things in my body.
bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
bwe@Romans:8:21 @ And it hoped to be free like Gods children when they are made great.
bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.
bwe@Romans:8:27 @ God looks to see what is in peoples hearts. And he knows what the Spirit is going to do. The Spirit talks to God for Gods people. And he asks for them what God wants them to have.
bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.
bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.
bwe@Romans:9:17 @ So God is kind to any person if he wants to be kind to him. And God makes a mans heart hard if he wants to do that.
bwe@Romans:9:21 @ God has a right to be very angry if he wants to be. He has the right to show his power. God was very angry with some people who deserved to die. And yet he waited a long time before he did anything to them.
bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."
bwe@Romans:9:28 @ And Isaiah also said, The Lord who has power, left some of our children. If he had not, we would have been like Sodom. We would have been destroyed like Gomorrah.
bwe@Romans:10:1 @ My brothers, with all my heart I want the Jews to be saved. And I ask God to save them.
bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?
bwe@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have. The holy writings say, Their voice has gone out all over the earth. And their words have gone out all over the world.
bwe@Romans:11:17 @ Maybe some of the trees branches were broken off. And you, a branch from a wild olive tree, were made to grow on the tree among the branches. You then have the good water that comes from the root of the olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.
bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.
bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.
bwe@Romans:12:1 @ God has been kind to you. So I ask you, brothers, give your bodies to him like a living sacrifice. That is, a holy sacrifice. It will please God. And it is what you should do for him.
bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.
bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.
bwe@Romans:13:2 @ So anyone who fights against the ruler, fights against what God put there. And those who fight will be punished.
bwe@Romans:13:14 @ But you must take the Lord Jesus Christ into your hearts. And do not plan to do the wrong things your bodies want to do.
bwe@Romans:14:3 @ The one who eats anything must not despise the one who does not eat everything. And the one who does not eat must not judge the person who does. God has accepted him as he is.
bwe@Romans:14:6 @ One man honours the day to honour the Lord; another man does not honour the day to honour the Lord. The person who eats everything, eats it because he honours the Lord. And he thanks God. And the person who will not eat every kind of food also does so to honour the Lord. And he still gives thanks to God.
bwe@Romans:14:7 @ Not one of us lives for himself. And not one of us dies for himself.
bwe@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live for the Lord. And if we die, we die for the Lord. So then, if we live or if we die we belong to the Lord.
bwe@Romans:14:18 @ A person who does the work of Christ in this way pleases God. And people like him.
bwe@Romans:14:23 @ But a man who is not sure that he should eat something, does wrong if he eats it. That is because he does not believe the thing he is doing is right to do. And it is wrong to do what you do not believe is right.
bwe@Romans:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.
bwe@Romans:15:21 @ The holy writings say, They were not told about him, but they will see him. And the people who have not heard of him will understand.
bwe@Romans:15:23 @ But now, I am no longer needed to work in these places. And I have wanted for many years to come to you.
bwe@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I will bring great blessings from Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:8 @ And right to the end Jesus Christ will surely keep you safe. Then no one will find anything wrong about you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not food to eat. You were not ready for food. And even now you are not ready for it.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:5 @ After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We both work for God. You believed because of the work we did. The Lord gave each of us our work to do.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:13 @ They talk behind our backs, but we still try to win them. People treat us as a dirt pile, the rubbish of the world. And they still do these things.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:10 @ And here is what I say to those who are married. (And yet it is not what I say. It is what the Lord has said.) The wife may not leave her husband.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does leave him, she must not marry again, or she must come back to her husband again. And the husband may not send away his wife.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But, if you marry, it is not wrong. And if a woman marries, it is not wrong. People who marry will have trouble in this life. And I want to keep you out of it.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And people who are busy with things in this world should not be too busy. The world as we see it is passing away.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:40 @...stays as she is and does...(I think too that I am saying what the Spirit of God wants me to say in this matter.)
bwe@1Corinthians:8:6 @ Yet for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things come from him. He is the one for whom we live. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. He made all things. He is the one who gives us life.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:8 @ One thing is sure, food will not bring us closer to God. If we eat it, it will not make us right with God. And if we do not eat, it will not make us wrong.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:26 @ So I do not run as if I did not know where I was going. And I do not fight like a man just beating the air.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:2 @ You are doing well. You remember everything I told you. And you are doing what I taught you to do.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:16 @ Does anyone still want to quarrel about this matter? This is what we do. And this is what the churches of God do also.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore, I want you to understand this. No person who has the Spirit of God ever curses Jesus. And no one can say, Jesus is Lord, if he is not controlled by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:11 @ And the same Spirit gives the power for all these things. He gives each person what he wants to give to them.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:21 @ The eye cannot say to the hand, I do not need you. And the head cannot say to the feet, I do not need you.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @...for all to hear and understand....-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are no doubt many different languages in the world. And every one of them has a meaning.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But God has been kind to me. He has made me what I am today. And he did not bless me for nothing. I did more work than any of them. Yet it was not I, but the loving kindness of God was working with me.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:22 @ All people who are of Adam die. And so also, all people who belong to Christ will live.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:28 @ One day the Son will be over all things. And God will be over the Son. So in the end God will be over all things.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:41 @ The sun is fine in one way. The moon is fine in another way. The stars are fine in still another way. And one star is fine in a different way from another star.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Death hurts us because we are bad people. And our wrong ways are so strong because of the law.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now I want to tell you about getting money together for Gods people. I told the churches in the province of Galatia how to do it. And I want you to do the same.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:9 @ Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. And if I have had anything to forgive, I have already forgiven it for your sakes, just as if we were standing before Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:14 @ We are not like some people. They tell Gods message to make money. But we tell it with a true heart just as God told it to us. We tell it as if we stood before God. And we tell it with Christs help.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:4 @ We can say this because we trust in God. And we trust in God because of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The old law that brought death was written on pieces of rock. There was a very bright light when God gave it to the people. The people of Israel could not look at Moses because his face was so bright. And even as they saw it, the light on his face was going away.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:5 @ We do not talk about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are your slaves for Jesus sake.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:11 @ While we live we are always ready to die for Jesus. And so the life of Jesus is also seen in our bodies which will die.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:18 @ God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:2 @ Because God has said. I heard you call at the right time. And I helped you in the day when I saved you. See, now is the right time. Now is the day to be saved.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:16 @ So the Lord says, Come away from among bad people. Stay away from them. Do not touch what is not clean. And I will receive you.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:11 @ So, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the man who did wrong. And it was not for the sake of the man who had the wrong done to him. But I wrote so that you would see for yourselves, in the sight of God, how much we care for you.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:12 @ And so we have been comforted. Besides this, we were even more happy to see how happy Titus was. All of you really made his heart glad.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:13 @ I told him how proud I was of you. And really, I had nothing to be ashamed of. Everything we have said to you has been true. So also, what we told Titus about you proved true.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:2 @ They are being tested by much trouble. But they are always very happy. And they are very poor. Because of these two things, they give to others as if they were rich.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:6 @ That is why we asked Titus to see about your gift. He started you off in your giving. And so he is the one to see that you finish it.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:15 @ The holy writings say, The person who had plenty did not have too much. And the person who did not have much, had enough. care for you into the heart of Titus that I have.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:20 @ And we are also sending another brother with them. We have found him to be glad to help us in many matters, many times. And now he is much more glad to help because he trusts you very much.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:2 @ I know that you wanted to help. I am proud to tell the people of Macedonia about you. I tell them, The people in Greece have been ready for a year. And what you did has made most of them want to do something too.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will become rich in every way. And then you will have enough to give plenty to all people. And many people will thank God for your gifts which we will bring them.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not talk of things we did not do. No, we will only be proud of those things which God has given us to do. And he has sent us even as far as you.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And I will keep on doing what I am doing now. Some teachers are praising themselves. They say they are like us. By doing this I prove they are not like us.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:20 @ I am ashamed, but I must say that we were too weak to be like that! Anything that others want to be proud of, I can talk about too. And yet it is really foolish to do so.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:31 @...our Lord Jesus Christ and he...32In the city of Damascus a man ruled for king Aretas. He had the gates of the city guarded because he wanted to catch me.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:3 @ I do know this. He was taken up into the place where God lives. And again I say, I do not know if he was in his body or not. God knows if he was.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:7 @...myself. But something happened and stopped...<FI>the devil<Fi> to trouble me. It came to stop me from being too proud.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:13 @ Now, I am ready to come to you for the third time. And I will not trouble you to pay me. I do not want what belongs to you, but I want you. The children should not save up for their parents, but the parents should do it for their children.
bwe@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad to be weak, if you are made strong. And we ask God for this too, that you may become perfect.
bwe@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard how I lived while I was still under the law of the Jews. I troubled the church of God very much. And I even tried to stop the church people altogether.
bwe@Galatians:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.
bwe@Galatians:2:2 @ God showed me that I should go. And I told them about the good news which I tell to people who are not Jews. I told those who seemed to be church leaders when I was alone with them. I did not want my work to come to nothing-the work I had done or the work I was doing.
bwe@Galatians:3:2 @ Here is one thing I want to ask you. You received the Holy Spirit. Was that because you obeyed the law <FI>given to the Jews by Moses<Fi&...you heard Gods word and believed...
bwe@Galatians:3:3 @ Have you no sense at all? You began living your new life by the power of the Spirit. And are you now trying to finish living it by your own power <FI>to keep the law<Fi>?
bwe@Galatians:3:17 @ Here is what I mean. The law was given <FI>to Moses<Fi> four hundred and thirty years after God gave that promise to Abraham. But it cannot break the strong promise which God made. And the law cannot change Gods promise.
bwe@Galatians:3:29 @ If you belong to Christ, you are Abrahams children. And if you are Abrahams children, you will receive the blessing that God has promised.
bwe@Galatians:4:7 @ So then, because of what God has done, you are no longer a slave but you are a son. And because you are a son, you will receive what he promised.
bwe@Galatians:5:20 @ They worship idols. They use witch-...do not agree together and they...
bwe@Galatians:5:23 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have stopped doing the wrong things they want to do. They have stopped them just as if they were killed on a cross. And they have even stopped wanting to do them.
bwe@Galatians:5:24 @ The Spirit gives us life. And so we should do what the Spirit wants us to do.
bwe@Ephesians:1:21 @ And God has put all things under Christ. He has made him the head of the church people in all matters.
bwe@Ephesians:2:14 @...has brought both Jews and... non-Jews together into one people. He has broken down the wall that divided us.
bwe@Ephesians:2:16 @ He did this so that by the cross he might bring both kinds of people back to God in one body. And by the cross he has stopped our hating each other.
bwe@Ephesians:3:3 @ He showed me what his plan was. And I have already written a little about it to you.
bwe@Ephesians:3:7 @ God gave me the work of telling that good news. And he blessed me by his power.
bwe@Ephesians:3:11 @ This is what God has always planned to do. And he did it in Jesus Christ our Lord.
bwe@Ephesians:4:8 @ So then, the holy writings say, When Christ went up to heaven he took those he had won with him. And he gave gifts to men.
bwe@Ephesians:4:19 @ Nothing makes them ashamed anymore. They live a very bad life. They do every kind of wrong thing. And they always want to do it more.
bwe@Ephesians:4:26 @ When you are angry, do not do anything wrong. And do not stay angry after the sun goes down.
bwe@Ephesians:5:14 @ So it is said, Wake up, you who are asleep! Rise from death. And Christ will give you light.
bwe@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.
bwe@Ephesians:6:16 @ You have been saved. Wear your salvation like you wear something on your head to protect yourself. And take with you the big knife or sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
bwe@Philippians:1:6 @ God began to do a good work in you. And I am sure that he will keep on doing it until he has finished it. He will keep on until the day Jesus Christ comes again.
bwe@Philippians:1:30 @ You have the same trouble which you saw me have. And you hear now that I still have it.
bwe@Philippians:2:8 @ And when he was a man, he was humble. He was even willing to die, yes, to die on a cross.
bwe@Philippians:2:13 @ For God is at work in you. He helps you want to do it. And he helps you do what he wants you to do.
bwe@Philippians:2:26 @ I am sending him back because he has been lonely without you all. And his heart has been troubled because you heard that he was sick.
bwe@Philippians:2:28 @ I want even more to send him to you so that you will be happy when you see him again. And I will not be so troubled any more.
bwe@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for those teachers who are like dogs. Watch out for those teachers who do wrong things. And watch out for those teachers who want you to have the mark of a Jew cut in your bodies.
bwe@Philippians:3:4 @ And yet I could trust in things about myself if I wanted to. If any other man thinks that he has something about himself to trust in, I have more things.
bwe@Philippians:3:15 @ All of us who are grown-up Christians should feel this way. And if you do not think this way, God will show you the right way.
bwe@Philippians:3:16 @ But no matter how far we have gone, we must keep on going that way. And let us do it together, having the same things in mind.
bwe@Philippians:3:20 @ But we belong to heaven. And we are waiting for the Saviour to come from heaven. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@Colossians:1:5 @ And also, you are looking ahead to what you will have in heaven. You have heard about it already when the good news was told to you.
bwe@Colossians:1:13 @ He has set us free from the kingdom where it is dark. And he has put us into the kingdom where his dear Son rules.
bwe@Colossians:1:24 @ And now, even though I suffer for you, I am happy. There are still some things for Christ to suffer in his body, which is the church. So I am glad to take my share of his suffering in my body.
bwe@Colossians:2:7 @ Let your heart be planted in him. Grow up in him. Believe with all your heart what you were taught. And be very thankful to God.
bwe@Colossians:4:2 @ Always take time to talk to God. Put your mind on what you are saying. And thank God for what he has done.
bwe@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, whose other name is Justus, also sends greetings. These men are the only Jews who are doing Gods work with me. And they have comforted me much.
bwe@Colossians:4:12 @...is one of you and is...-up Christians and know all that God wants you to do.
bwe@Colossians:4:16 @ When you have read this letter, then be sure that it is also read to the church people in Laodicea. And be sure that you read the letter which will be sent to you from Laodicea.
bwe@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ The good news we brought you was not just words. It had power. It had the Holy Spirit. It made people very sure it was true. And you also know how we lived when we were with you to help you.
bwe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ And you wait for his Son to come again from heaven. God raised his Son Jesus from death. It is Jesus who saves us from Gods great anger which is to come.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ Our message was not a lie. What we told you was not wrong. And we did not try to fool you.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But God chose us to tell people the good news. And so we do not speak to please men, but to please God. He is the one who knows what is in our hearts.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And here is another reason why we always thank God all the time. When you heard Gods word from us, you did not say, That is mens word. But you said, That is Gods word. And it really is Gods word. The word is working in you Christians.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ When we were with you, we told you that we would have trouble. Trouble came. And now you know what we said is true.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ So anyone who does not obey is not just disobeying a man, but he is disobeying God. And it is God who has given us his Holy Spirit.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Then people who do not belong to the church will respect you. And you will not need help from anyone. here is something I want you to know about those who have died. You should not cry for them like people cry who have no hope.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ Then we who are still alive on earth will be caught up together with those who were dead. We will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we will be with the Lord forever!
bwe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This proves that God will judge right. And he will say that you are good enough for the kingdom of God because you suffer for it.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And you know what is holding that evil man back. He will not be seen until it is his time to be seen.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ And by his bad tricks he will fool people who are lost. They will not love the true message which would have saved them.
bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.
bwe@1Timothy:1:11 @ The wonderful good news of God teaches what is right. Praise him! And he has trusted me to tell this good news.
bwe@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is a good thing. And God, our Saviour, is pleased when people do it.
bwe@1Timothy:5:12 @ And that will be wrong for them because they have not kept their first promise.
bwe@1Timothy:5:18 @ The holy writings say, You may not tie the mouth of a cow when it is walking on the grain to beat it out. And also, The man who works should be paid for it.
bwe@1Timothy:6:10 @ Because people love money they do all kinds of wrong things. Some people have stopped believing in God because they want money so much. And it brings them many troubles.
bwe@1Timothy:6:14 @ Do what you have been told to do. And do it so there will be nothing wrong, until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
bwe@2Timothy:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to talk about our Lord. And do not be ashamed of me. I am his prisoner. Be patient in your trouble also, because you tell the good news. God will give you the power to do it.
bwe@2Timothy:1:12 @ That is why I have this trouble. But I am not ashamed of it because I know the one whom I have trusted. And I am sure he is able to keep safe what I have trusted to him. He will keep it safe until that great day when he comes again.
bwe@2Timothy:2:18 @ These men say that the time when people are raised from death is past already. That is not true. And what they say is making some people stop believing.
bwe@2Timothy:2:26 @ And they may get free again from the devils trap. He has caught them to do what he wants them to do.
bwe@2Timothy:3:6 @ They are the kind who go quietly into peoples houses. There they get foolish women to believe them. These women know that they have done many wrong things. And they want to do many kinds of wrong things.
bwe@2Timothy:4:3 @ The time is coming when people will not listen to good teaching. They will want to listen to the things they like to hear. And they will bring in many teachers who will teach them just what they want to do.
bwe@2Timothy:4:7 @ I have fought the kind of fight that is good. I have reached the mark on the road that God wanted me to reach. And I have kept on believing in him.
bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.
bwe@Titus:1:8 @ He must hold strongly to the true message which he has been taught. Then he will be able to teach other people what is right. And he will be able to answer people who talk against it.
bwe@Titus:2:15 @ Talk about these things. Tell people they must do them. And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong. Do not let anyone despise you.
bwe@Titus:3:6 @ God is rich. And he gave the Holy Spirit to us because of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
bwe@Philemon:1:21 @ I believe that you will do what I ask you to do. And so I am writing to you. I know that you will do even more than I ask you to do.
bwe@Hebrews:3:17 @ With whom was God angry for forty years? He was angry with the people who had done wrong. And they died in the desert.
bwe@Hebrews:4:4 @ Here is what he said, somewhere in the holy writings, about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after doing all his work.
bwe@Hebrews:4:5 @ And now here he says again, They will never go into my resting place.
bwe@Hebrews:6:7 @ The ground drinks the water that often rains on it. It makes plants grow for the people who take care of it. And God blesses that ground.
bwe@Hebrews:6:15 @ Abraham kept on believing God. And so he got what God had promised him.
bwe@Hebrews:7:1 @ Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem. He was a priest of God who is the greatest of all. Melchizedek met Abraham when Abraham came back from killing some bad kings. And Melchizedek blessed him.
bwe@Hebrews:7:6 @ But Melchizedek was not from Levis family. Yet he took a tenth of what Abraham had. And he blessed Abraham, to whom God made the promise.
bwe@Hebrews:7:9 @ And we say that Levi, the priest who takes the tenth from the people, gave his tenth through Abraham.
bwe@Hebrews:7:14 @ Everyone knows that our Lord Jesus came from the tribe of Judah. And Moses never said anything about priests coming from that tribe.
bwe@Hebrews:7:19 @ The law did not make anything right. But something better has been brought to us. It is Gods promise. And by that promise we come near to God.
bwe@Hebrews:9:1 @ The first agreement had laws about worship. And it had a holy place on earth where the agreement was kept.

bwe@Hebrews:11:6 @ If a person does not believe God, he cannot please him. Anyone who comes to God must believe that God is real. And he must believe that God will bless those who try to find him. God will reward a person, if he really tries to find God.
bwe@Hebrews:11:7 @...house on a boat, and so...<FI>from the big flood<Fi>. By believing God he showed that the other people were wrong. He was put right with God because he believed.
bwe@Hebrews:11:19 @ Abraham said in his heart that God could bring Isaac back to life. And so it was just as if he did get his son back.
bwe@Hebrews:12:2 @ We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He believed from first to last. What was put in front of him made him glad, so he did not give up when the people nailed him on a cross. He did not care about the shame. And now he is sitting beside God.
bwe@Hebrews:12:6 @ The Lord punishes the person he loves. And he beats every son he takes into his family.
bwe@Hebrews:12:14 @ Try to be at peace with all people. And try to be holy. If a person is not holy, he will not see the Lord.
bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.
bwe@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. And remember those who are having troubles, as if you were having the same troubles.
bwe@Hebrews:13:4 @ Everyone must respect marriage. And the bed must be kept clean. God will punish those who use their bodies for wrong sex.
bwe@James:1:15 @ Then the wrong in his heart makes him do the wrong thing. And the wrong thing he has done leads to death.
bwe@James:1:26 @ Some of you think that you are doing what God wants. But you are not careful what you say. If you are like that, you are fooling yourself. And you are not doing what God wants.
bwe@James:2:3 @ You look at the man who wears fine clothes. And you say to him, Sit here on this good chair. But you say to the poor man, Stand over there, or you say, Sit on the floor by my feet.
bwe@James:2:18 @ In that case someone may say, You believe. And I do good things. Try to show me that you believe without doing any acts of kindness. I will show you that I believe by doing acts of kindness.
bwe@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. That is right. But even the bad spirits believe that. And they shake with fear.
bwe@James:2:23 @ The words of the holy writings came true. They say, Abraham believed God. And he was called a good man because of it. In another place he was called Gods friend.
bwe@James:3:6 @ The tongue is like a fire. It is like a whole world of trouble. It is a part of our body. And it makes our whole body bad. It burns up our whole life. And the fire that makes the tongue burn comes from hell.
bwe@James:4:5 @ The holy writings say, God gave his Spirit to live in us. And that Spirit wants us for himself. Do you think this means nothing?
bwe@James:5:6 @ You have punished good people. You have killed them. And they do not stop you.
bwe@James:5:12 @ My brothers, here is something that matters very much. When you make a promise do not ask heaven to hear it, or the earth, or any other thing. When you mean Yes, just say, Yes. And when you mean No, just say, No. If you do that, you will not be judged.
bwe@James:5:16 @ So tell one another the wrong things you have done. And tell God about each others needs, so that you will be healed. When a good man talks to God, big things can be done.
bwe@James:5:18 @ Then he talked to God again. And it rained. Plants grew on the earth.
bwe@1Peter:1:8 @ You love him even though you have not seen him. You trust him even though you do not see him. And so you are very happy. No words can tell how happy you are. Your joy is very great.
bwe@1Peter:1:12 @ The Spirit showed them that they told these things not for themselves, but for you. And now the men who told you the good news have told you these same things. They spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit who was sent from heaven. Even the angels wanted very much to know about these things.
bwe@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord cannot die! And this word is the good news which has been told to you.
bwe@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.
bwe@1Peter:4:4 @ Those people are surprised now that you do not do the same wrong things they do. And they say wrong things about you.
bwe@1Peter:5:1 @ So I am talking to the leaders among you. I am also a leader. I saw the sufferings of Christ. And I will have some part of his greatness when he comes again.
bwe@2Peter:1:21 @ The prophets did not say what they wanted to say. But the Holy Spirit made them speak. And they spoke Gods message.
bwe@2Peter:2:1 @ But prophets who were not true were also among the people of Israel. Also there will be teachers who will not be true among you. They will bring in wrong teaching that leads to death. They will even say that they do not belong to the Master who bought them. And so they will quickly bring themselves to death.
bwe@2Peter:2:2 @ Many people will do the same wrong things they do. And because of them, men will say wrong things about the true way.
bwe@2Peter:2:5 @ In the days long ago, God punished the world. But he saved Noah who told people what was right. And God saved seven other people. But he made water cover the world full of bad people.
bwe@2Peter:2:9 @ The Lord knows how to save good people out of the trouble that tests them. And he knows how to keep bad people until the day when he will judge them. And they are being punished even now.
bwe@2Peter:3:4 @ They will say, He promised to come. Where is he? Our fathers have died. And since then everything is just the same as it has been since the world was made.
bwe@2Peter:3:8 @ My dear brothers, do not forget this one thing. One day is like a thousand years to the Lord. And a thousand years are like one day.
bwe@1John:1:7 @ Do we live in the light, as God is in the light? Then we belong with others who belong to him. And the blood of the death of Jesus Christ makes us clean from all the wrong things we have done.
bwe@1John:2:2 @ He himself is the sacrifice God offered to pay for the wrong we have done. And he pays for the wrong things all people in all the world have done.
bwe@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know what is true, but because you do know. And you know that no lie is true.
bwe@1John:2:23 @ Everyone who says Jesus is not the Son does not know the Father. And everyone who says Jesus is the Son knows the Father.
bwe@1John:2:25 @ And he himself has promised us that we will live for ever.
bwe@1John:3:9 @ No one who is Gods child does wrong things, because Gods life is in him. And he cannot keep on doing wrong things, because he is Gods child.
bwe@1John:3:15 @ Everyone who hates his brother is like a man who kills a person. And you know that no one who kills a person has life that will live for ever.
bwe@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we are true. This is why we will not be afraid in front of God.
bwe@1John:3:23 @ This is his law. We must believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ. And we must love one another as he told us to do.
bwe@1John:4:3 @ And every spirit that does not say this about Jesus, does not belong to God. That is the spirit of the one who is against Christ. You have heard that he is coming. And now he is already in the world.
bwe@1John:4:5 @ Those prophets belong to the world. That is why they teach about things in the world. And that is why the people of the world listen to them.
bwe@1John:4:10 @ This is love! We did not love God, but he loved us. And he sent his Son to be the sacrifice to pay for the wrong things we have done.
bwe@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God. But God lives in us if we love one another. And in loving one another, his love is made perfect.
bwe@1John:5:1 @ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is Gods child. And everyone who loves the Father loves his child.
bwe@1John:5:11 @ Here is what God says. He has given us life that will last for ever. And this life is in his Son.
bwe@1John:5:14 @ And we are sure God will do this. If we ask him for anything that he wants us to have, he will listen to us.
bwe@1John:5:15 @ And if we know he listens to us when we ask for anything, then we know that we have what we asked him for.
bwe@2John:1:5 @ And now I want to ask you to do something. I am not telling you to do something new. It is the same law we had from the beginning. It is this, We must love one another.
bwe@3John:1:6 @ They went out to do Christs work. And they have not taken any help from people who do not believe in God.
bwe@3John:1:8 @ So if I come, I will show what he is doing. He is saying wrong things about us. And that is not all. He does not take our brothers into his own home. And he stops other people who want to take them in. He will not let them be church members any longer.
bwe@3John:1:10 @ Everyone says Demetrius is a good man. All this is true. We say the same thing too. And you know that what we say is true.
bwe@Jude:1:10 @ But these men say wrong things about everything they do not understand. They know some things just like animals that cannot think. And they will die because they do those wrong things.
bwe@Jude:1:11 @ They will have trouble! They have lived like Cain. They have done wrong things for pay like Balaam. They have talked against those who are over them. Korah did that. And so they will die as he did.
bwe@Jude:1:13 @ These men are like big waves on the sea. Big waves cause much trouble. And these men also show the wrong things they do. They are like stars that have fallen from their place in the sky. A very dark place has been kept for ever in which to put these men.
bwe@Jude:1:25 @ He is the only God. And he is our Saviour through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is great! He is wonderful! He has power! He has the right to rule! He was like that before time began! He is like that now! And he will be like that for ever. Yes, he will!
bwe@Revelation:1:5 @...Jesus Christ bless you and give...<FI>death<Fi> he has made us free from the wrong things we have done.
bwe@Revelation:2:17 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. He says, "I will give some of the secret food to the person who wins. And I will give him a white stone. A new name will be written on the stone. No one will know the name but the one who gets the stone."
bwe@Revelation:3:15 @ He says, "I know what you do. I know that you are neither cold nor hot. And I wish that you were cold or hot.
bwe@Revelation:4:4 @ Around his throne I saw twenty-four other thrones. On them sat twenty-...They wore white clothes and had...

bwe@Revelation:6:8 @ I saw a horse the colour of ashes. The name of the man who rode it was Death. And the one who controls the world of the dead followed him. They were given power over a fourth part of the world. They could kill people with a sword, or by making them go without food to eat, or by making them sick, or with wild animals.
bwe@Revelation:7:4 @...heard that one hundred and... forty-four thousand people were marked. They were from every tribe of Israel.
