tcent@John:15:3 @ You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
tcent@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
tcent@John:15:21 @ But all this they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.
tcent@John:15:27 @ And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
tcent@John:16:3 @ And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, like men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
tcent@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or is he speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.
tcent@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
tcent@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
tcent@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
tcent@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
tcent@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double benefit.
tcent@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I still had no rest in my mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took my leave of them and went on to Macedonia.
tcent@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,
tcent@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.
tcent@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.
tcent@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
tcent@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.
tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.
tcent@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.
tcent@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many matters, but who is now more diligent than ever because of his great confidence in you.
tcent@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Because of the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in your confession of the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;
tcent@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.
tcent@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?
tcent@2Corinthians:11:11 ...Why? Because I...
tcent@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated because of the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.
tcent@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God because of me.
tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

tcent@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
tcent@Galatians:2:16 @ yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

tcent@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, »Abba! Father!«

tcent@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
tcent@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardness of their heart;
tcent@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
tcent@Ephesians:5:16 @ making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
tcent@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are members of his body.
tcent@Philippians:1:5 @ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
tcent@Philippians:1:7 @ For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

tcent@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
tcent@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was ill.
tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.
