CONCORD That



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\par The vision to reprint a new edition of the whole New Testament has now been carried out by SOON in conjunction with EPH and OM. Where a change to more modern words has been made, this has been kept in line with the the Authorised Version.

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:1:18 @ This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:1:23 @...name will be Emmanuel. That means...

bwe@Matthew:2:5 @...In Bethlehem in Judea. That is...

bwe@Matthew:2:8 @ He sent them to Bethlehem. He said, Go and ask everywhere until you find the child. When you have found him, come and tell me, so that I myself may go and worship him.

bwe@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it. They killed all the boys who were two years old or less. Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star.

bwe@Matthew:2:22 @ But he heard that Archelaus was king of Judea in his father Herods place. So he was afraid to go there. In a dream he was told what to do. He went to the country of Galilee.

bwe@Matthew:3:3 @ This is the man that Isaiah the prophet of God spoke about long ago. He said, A man is calling in the wilderness, "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."

bwe@Matthew:3:7 @ Many of the Pharisee group and the Sadducee group came to him to be baptised. But when he saw them, he said to them, You family of snakes! Who told you to run away from Gods anger that is coming?

bwe@Matthew:3:8 @ Stop your wrong ways to show that you have turned back to God.

bwe@Matthew:3:10 @ The axe is ready to cut down the trees. Every tree that does not have good fruit is cut down and thrown into a fire.

bwe@Matthew:3:12 @ He has a cleaning fan in his hand and will fan his grain very clean. He will put the grain into his storehouse. But he will burn the chaff in the fire that never dies.

bwe@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered, Please do it now. In this way we shall do all that is right. Then John let him be baptised.

bwe@Matthew:4:4 @ But Jesus answered him, The holy writings say, "Man cannot live on bread only. He needs to live by every word that God says."

bwe@Matthew:4:6 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down. The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not knock your foot on a stone."

bwe@Matthew:4:12 @ Jesus heard that John was put in prison, so he went to Galilee.

bwe@Matthew:5:3 @ He said, God makes happy those who know that they need him. The kingdom of heaven is for them.

bwe@Matthew:5:13 @ You are like salt in the world. If salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? Salt that has no taste is good for nothing. The only thing to do is to throw it out on the road.

bwe@Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.

bwe@Matthew:5:23 @ Perhaps you are bringing your gift to God at his altar. There you remember that your brother has something against you.

bwe@Matthew:5:27 @ You have heard that the law says, "Do not commit adultery <FI>have another man or woman who is not your husband or wife<Fi>."

bwe@Matthew:5:28 @ But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and he wants her, then he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

bwe@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you, do not make a promise in Gods name. Do not use the name of heaven, because that is where God rules.

bwe@Matthew:5:35 @ Do not use the name of earth, because that is where God rests his feet. Do not use the name of Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

bwe@Matthew:5:37 @ You must mean "Yes" when you say "Yes". You must mean "No" when you say "No". To say anything more than that is wrong.

bwe@Matthew:5:38 @ You have heard that the law says, "Take an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

bwe@Matthew:5:43 @ You have heard that the law says, "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy."

bwe@Matthew:5:45 @ In that way you will be sons of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun shine on both wrong and good people. He lets the rain fall on people who do right and on people who do wrong.

bwe@Matthew:6:1 @ Do not do good things so that people will see you do them. If you do, you will get no reward from your Father in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.

bwe@Matthew:6:5 @ When you talk to God, do not be like people who are not true to themselves. They like to stand and talk to God in the meeting houses and at the street corners, so that people will see them. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.

bwe@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.

bwe@Matthew:6:13 @ "Do not test us but help us, so that no one will make us do wrong. Deliver us from the evil one. The kingdom and power and praise belong to you for ever. Amen!"

bwe@Matthew:6:16 @ When you are fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi&...do not look sad. That is...

bwe@Matthew:6:18 @ Then people will not see that you are fasting. But your Father sees secret things, and he will reward you.

bwe@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds that fly in the air. They do not plant or cut or keep any food. Yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not worth more than birds?

bwe@Matthew:6:30 @ God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is put on the fire. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!

bwe@Matthew:6:32 @ It is the people who do not believe in God who work for all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need them all.

bwe@Matthew:7:2 @ The way you judge others, that is the way you will be judged. How much you give to others is how much will be given to you.

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:7:12 @...to do to you. That is...

bwe@Matthew:7:13 @ Go in by the small gate. The gate is big and the road is wide that goes to death. Many people go that way.

bwe@Matthew:7:14 @ The gate is small and the road is not wide that goes to life. Not many people find it.

bwe@Matthew:7:15 @ Take care. There are prophets who are not true. They come to you dressed like sheep, but inside they are like wolves, bad animals that kill sheep.

bwe@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not have good fruit is cut down and thrown into a fire.

bwe@Matthew:7:21 @ Some people say to me, "Lord, Lord". But not all who say that will go into the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants, will go in.

bwe@Matthew:7:22 @ Many people will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not speak in your name? Did we not drive bad spirits out of people in your name? Did we not do big works in your name?"

bwe@Matthew:8:13 @ Jesus said to the officer, Go home. What you have believed, will be done. At that very same time the officers servant was healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:16 @ That evening, many people who had bad spirits were brought to Jesus. He spoke to the bad spirits and drove them out. And he healed all the people who were sick.

bwe@Matthew:8:17 @ What the prophet Isaiah said came true. He said, He took away the things that made us weak. He took away the things that made us sick.

bwe@Matthew:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.

bwe@Matthew:9:2 @ Some men brought a sick man to him. The man could not move his arms or legs. He was lying on a bed. Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, My son, be glad! The wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Matthew:9:6 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive wrong things people have done. So he said to the sick man, Get up. Make up your bed and go home.

bwe@Matthew:9:26 @ People in all that part of the country heard about it.

bwe@Matthew:9:28 @ When Jesus came into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, Do you believe that I can do this? They said, Yes, sir.

bwe@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went away and told everybody in that part of the country about him.

bwe@Matthew:10:7 @ As you go, tell people that the kingdom of heaven is here.

bwe@Matthew:10:14 @ In some places people will not take you in, or listen to what you say. So when you leave that house or town, shake the dust off your feet.

bwe@Matthew:10:15 @ I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people from that city will be punished harder than the people from the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Matthew:10:26 @ So do not be afraid of people. Everything that is hidden will be seen. Everything that is hidden will be known.

bwe@Matthew:10:32 @ If anyone tells people that he knows me, I will also tell the Father in heaven that I know him.

bwe@Matthew:10:33 @ But anyone who tells people he does not know me, I will also tell my Father in heaven that I do not know him.

bwe@Matthew:10:34 @ Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but war.

bwe@Matthew:11:1 @ When Jesus finished telling his twelve disciples what to do, he left that place. He went to teach and tell Gods word to people in the towns around there.

bwe@Matthew:11:16 @ What shall I say that the people of today are like? They are like children who sit in the market. They call to the other children.

bwe@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, that was the way you wanted it.

bwe@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.

bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.

bwe@Matthew:12:9 @ Jesus left that place and went into the meeting house.

bwe@Matthew:12:20 @ He will not break a stick that is already bent. He will not put out a light that burns only a little. What is right will win, because he will make it win.

bwe@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.

bwe@Matthew:12:31 @ That is why I tell you this. All wrong things that people do or say, will be forgiven. But people who say wrong things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.

bwe@Matthew:12:45 @...he was at first. That is...

bwe@Matthew:13:1 @ That day Jesus left the house and sat down by the sea side.

bwe@Matthew:13:12 @ Anyone who already has something will get more, and he will have plenty. But he who does not have anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Matthew:13:13 @ That is why I tell them stories. They look, but they do not see. They listen, but they do not hear or understand.

bwe@Matthew:13:19 @...out of his heart. That person...

bwe@Matthew:13:20 @...on the stony ground. That is...

bwe@Matthew:13:22 @...fell among the weeds. That is...

bwe@Matthew:13:23 @...fell on good ground. That is...

bwe@Matthew:13:32 @ A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. But the plant that grows from it is bigger than other plants. It is like a tree. It is so big that birds come and live in the branches.

bwe@Matthew:13:35 @ What the prophet of God said long ago, came true. He said, I will use stories. I will tell things that have been secret since the world was made.

bwe@Matthew:13:40 @...burned in a fire. That is...

bwe@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send his angels. They will gather everything that is bad and the people who do bad things. They will take them out of his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:13:44 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. Something worth a lot of money is buried in a field. A man found it and covered it again. He was so glad that he went and sold everything he had. Then he bought that field.

bwe@Matthew:13:46 @ He found a pearl that was worth a lot of money. Then he went and sold everything he had and bought it.

bwe@Matthew:13:49 @ That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and take the bad people away from the good people.

bwe@Matthew:13:58 @ Jesus could not do many big works in that place because the people did not believe in him.

bwe@Matthew:14:2 @...is risen from death. That is...

bwe@Matthew:14:7 @ He was so pleased that he promised to give her anything she asked for.

bwe@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard this, he went away from there in a boat. He went to a lonely place by himself. The people heard that he went away and they followed him. They walked from the towns around there.

bwe@Matthew:14:20 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:15:3 @ Jesus asked them, Why do you break Gods law so that you can keep your own law?

bwe@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, "Tell your father or your mother that you have given to God what you were going to give to them." You say, "If anyone says that, then he does not need to help his father or mother."

bwe@Matthew:15:13 @ Jesus answered, Every plant that my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled out by the roots.

bwe@Matthew:15:15 @ Peter said to Jesus, Tell us the meaning of that story.

bwe@Matthew:15:20 @ These things make a person dirty. To eat with hands that are not washed does not make him dirty.

bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to 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:15:26 @ She answered, Yes, sir. But even the little dogs eat the food that falls from the tables of their masters.

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:15:30 @ 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:15:36 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:16:7 @ The disciples said to each other, He said that because we did not bring any bread.

bwe@Matthew:16:11 @ Why do you not understand that I was not talking about bread? Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees spoil you.

bwe@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he was not talking about bread. He did not mean that the yeast of bread would spoil them. They understood that he was talking about the things the Pharisees and Sadducees taught.

bwe@Matthew:16:20 @ Then Jesus said to the disciples, Do not tell anyone that I am the Christ.

bwe@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time on, Jesus began to teach his disciples. He said, I must go to Jerusalem. I will have much trouble from the leaders, the chief priests, and the scribes. I will be killed. On the third day, I will be raised from death.

bwe@Matthew:17:10 @ The disciples asked him, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

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:17:13 @ Then the disciples knew that he was talking about John the Baptizer.

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:18:1 @ The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

bwe@Matthew:18:8 @ If your hand or your foot makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away! It is better for you to enter into life without hands or feet than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the fire that burns for ever.

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-nine sheep on the hills and go to look for the one that is lost? Yes, he will.

bwe@Matthew:18:13 @ I tell you the truth. When he finds it, he is more happy to see that one than the ninety-nine that were not lost.

bwe@Matthew:18:23 @ In that way the kingdom of heaven is like this. A king was ready to finish his business with his servants.

bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"

bwe@Matthew:18:31 @ The other servants saw what he did. They were very sad. They went and told their master everything that had been done.

bwe@Matthew:18:35 @ That is like what my Father in heaven will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

bwe@Matthew:19:1 @ When Jesus had finished this talk, he left Galilee. He went away to the part of Judea that is on the other side of the Jordan River.

bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.

bwe@Matthew:19:8 @...hearts are so hard. That is...

bwe@Matthew:19:12 @ Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Anyone who can do this, should do it.

bwe@Matthew:19:16 @ A man came to Jesus and said, Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will live for ever?

bwe@Matthew:20:13 @ But he said to one of them, "My friend, I am not doing any wrong to you. You agreed that I should pay you a days wages. Did you not?

bwe@Matthew:20:21 @ Jesus asked, What do you want me to do for you? The woman said, These are my two sons. Promise that in your kingdom one may sit at your right and the other at your left.

bwe@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink? Yes, they said. We can.

bwe@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, You know that those who rule over countries make their people obey them. The great men will tell the others what to do.

bwe@Matthew:20:26 @ But that is not the way it is among you. Anyone among you who wants to be great will help the others.

bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!

bwe@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.

bwe@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Believe God. Do not doubt him. Then you can do what I did to this fig tree. But that is not all. You can even say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea" and it will be done.

bwe@Matthew:21:22 @ When you ask God for anything, believe that you will have it. Then you will have it.

bwe@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," we have the people to fear, because all the people say that John was a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:22:4 @ He sent other servants to call them. He said, "Tell those who were asked to the wedding that my dinner is cooked. The cows and bullocks have been killed. Everything is ready. Come now to the wedding."

bwe@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent their disciples to him with some of Herods people. They said, Teacher, we know that you are true. We know that you teach the true way of God. You do not fear any person, or care how great he is.

bwe@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death.

bwe@Matthew:22:34 @ The Pharisees heard that the Sadducees could not answer Jesus. So they got together.

bwe@Matthew:22:40 @ All that is written in the books of the law and the books of the prophets is about these two laws.

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:23:16 @ You blind leaders will have trouble. You say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of the temple, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the gold on the temple, he must keep that promise.

bwe@Matthew:23:17 @ You fools and blind men! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?

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:23:19 @ You fools and blind people! Which is greater, the sacrifice or the place that makes the sacrifice holy?

bwe@Matthew:23:20 @ So if anyone makes a promise by Gods altar, he makes his promise by it and by all that is on it.

bwe@Matthew:23:26 @ You blind Pharisees! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish so that the outside will be clean too.

bwe@Matthew:23:27 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that have been painted white. Outside they look very nice. But inside they are full of dead mens bones and all kinds of dirt.

bwe@Matthew:23:31 @ So you prove that you are the sons of the men who killed the prophets.

bwe@Matthew:23:34 @ That is why I send you prophets, wise men, and teachers. You will kill some of them and nail them to a cross. And you will beat some of them in your meeting houses and trouble them from one town to another.

bwe@Matthew:23:35 @ So you will be punished for all the blood of every good man that is on the ground. I mean all the blood from the time of Abel, who was a good man, to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah. You killed him between the temple and Gods altar.

bwe@Matthew:24:1 @ Jesus left the temple and was going away. His disciples came to him. They wanted to show him the different buildings that were a part of the temple.

bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?

bwe@Matthew:24:6 @ You will hear about wars. You will hear that war is coming. But do not fear. These things must happen, but that is not yet the end.

bwe@Matthew:24:8 @ All these troubles are only the beginning of troubles that will come.

bwe@Matthew:24:13 @ But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end, that one will be saved.

bwe@Matthew:24:15 @ Daniel the prophet said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.)

bwe@Matthew:24:16 @ When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

bwe@Matthew:24:20 @ Ask God that you may not have to go in the cold time of the year or on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Matthew:24:27 @ When lightning shines in the east, it can be seen in the west. It will be like that when the Son of Man comes.

bwe@Matthew:24:28 @ The big birds that eat meat will all go to the place where the dead body is.

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:24:33 @ It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

bwe@Matthew:24:47 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has.

bwe@Matthew:24:50 @ The master of that servant will come on a day the servant is not looking for him. He will not know the time he is coming home.

bwe@Matthew:25:24 @ The servant who had been given one bag of money came and said, "Sir, I knew that you were a hard man. You cut grain where you did not plant. You pick fruit where you put nothing in.

bwe@Matthew:25:26 @ His master answered him, "You are a bad and lazy servant. You knew that I cut grain where I did not plant. You knew that I pick fruit where I put nothing in.

bwe@Matthew:25:29 @ Anyone who has some will get more, and he will have plenty. But he who does not get anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Matthew:25:41 @...that burns for ever. That fire...

bwe@Matthew:26:2 @ He said, You know that after two days it will be time for the Passover Feast. The Son of Man will be given over to his enemies to be nailed to a cross.

bwe@Matthew:26:3 @ Then at that time the chief priests and the leaders of the people met together in the house of the high priest. His name was Caiaphas.

bwe@Matthew:26:17 @ It was the first day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The disciples came to Jesus and asked, Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the Passover Feast?

bwe@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man will go away just as the holy writings tell about him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!

bwe@Matthew:26:28 @ This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This night, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and talk with God, so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.

bwe@Matthew:26:48 @ The man who was going to help them catch Jesus had told them that he would give them a sign. He said, The man that I kiss is the one. Catch him and hold him.

bwe@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot talk to my Father, and he would send me right now more than twelve armies of angels?

bwe@Matthew:26:54 @ But then, how would Gods word come true? The holy writings say that this is the way it must be.

bwe@Matthew:26:55 @ At that same time Jesus said to the people, Have you come to take me with swords and sticks as you would a man who steals? Every day I sat with you in the temple and taught. But you did not try to catch me then.

bwe@Matthew:26:56 @ All this happened so that what the prophets said in the holy writings would come true. Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

bwe@Matthew:26:60 @ But they found nothing. Many people came and said things that were not true. At last two men came.

bwe@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus answered him, Yes, I am. Also I tell you that after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds in the sky!

bwe@Matthew:26:75 @ Then Peter remembered that Jesus had said, Before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me. Then Peter went out and cried very much.

bwe@Matthew:27:3 @ Judas was the man who helped them take Jesus. He saw that they had judged Jesus and were going to kill him. He was sorry for what he had done, so he brought the thirty pieces of silver money back to the chief priests and leaders.

bwe@Matthew:27:7 @ They talked the matter over and bought a field that belonged to a man who made pots. They bought it for a place in which to bury strangers.

bwe@Matthew:27:8 @ That is why that field has been called The field of blood until now.

bwe@Matthew:27:9 @...pieces of silver money. That is...

bwe@Matthew:27:10 @...for the potters field. That is...

bwe@Matthew:27:16 @ In the prison at that time was a very bad man named Barabbas.

bwe@Matthew:27:18 @ Pilate knew that the chief priests did not like Jesus. He knew that was why they had brought Jesus to him.

bwe@Matthew:27:19 @ While Pilate was sitting in the court to judge the case, his wife sent a message to him. She said, Do nothing to that good man. I have been troubled very much in a dream about him today.

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:27:33 @...a place called Golgotha. That means,...

bwe@Matthew:27:46 @...Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That means,...

bwe@Matthew:27:51 @ At that time the thick cloth that hung in the temple was torn into two pieces. It was torn from the top down to the bottom. The earth shook and big rocks broke.

bwe@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate said that it should be given to him.

bwe@Matthew:27:63 @ They said, Sir, that man fooled people. We remember what he said when he was still living. He said that he would rise after three days.

bwe@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders that the grave must be guarded for three days. Then his disciples cannot come in the night to carry away his body, and tell people he rose from death. This last trick would be worse than the first.

bwe@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had guarded the grave came into the city. They told the chief priests all that had happened.

bwe@Matthew:28:14 @ If the ruler hears about this, then we will talk to him so that he will not punish you.

bwe@Mark:1:9 @ At that time Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in the country of Galilee. John baptised him in the Jordan River.

bwe@Mark:1:13 @ Jesus was in the desert for forty days. All that time Satan tried to make Jesus do wrong. Jesus was with wild animals. Angels came and took care of him.

bwe@Mark:1:23 @ A man who had a bad spirit in him was in the meeting house at that time.

bwe@Mark:1:32 @ That evening when the sun went down, people brought to Jesus all the sick people and those who had bad spirits.

bwe@Mark:1:38 @...the people there too. That is...

bwe@Mark:1:44 @ He said, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the gift you must give to God when you are healed. Give it to prove to people that you are healed.

bwe@Mark:2:1 @ After a few days he came back to Capernaum. People soon heard that he was at home.

bwe@Mark:2:5 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, Son, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Mark:2:10 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive the wrong things people do. So he said to the sick man,

bwe@Mark:2:16 @ The scribes and Pharisees saw that Jesus ate with these people. They said to the disciples, Why does he eat and drink with bad people?

bwe@Mark:3:5 @ Jesus was angry as he looked at them. And he was sad that their hearts were so hard. Then he said to the man, Hold out your hand. The man did so, and it was made well like the other hand.

bwe@Mark:3:8 @ Jesus and his disciples went away to the sea of Galilee. Many people went with Jesus. They came from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and from the other side of the Jordan River. And many more people came also, a great many from around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They also had heard about the great works that Jesus had done.

bwe@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was very big. He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for him so that he would have more room.

bwe@Mark:3:20 @ So many people came again that they could not even eat.

bwe@Mark:3:24 @ If one part of a country fights against another part of the country, that country cannot be strong.

bwe@Mark:3:28 @ I tell you the truth. All wrong things that people do and say about anyone will be forgiven.

bwe@Mark:3:29 @ But people who say wrong things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. A person who does that will be punished for ever.

bwe@Mark:4:8 @...fell on good ground. That seed...

bwe@Mark:4:16 @ The seed that fell on the stony ground is the same. It is like people who hear the message and as soon as they hear it they are very glad.

bwe@Mark:4:18 @ The seed that fell among the weeds is like people who hear the message.

bwe@Mark:4:20 @...fell on good ground. That is...

bwe@Mark:4:22 @ Everything that is hidden will be seen. Everything that is secret will be known and come out to be seen.

bwe@Mark:4:25 @ Anyone who has some will get more. But he who does not have anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Mark:4:31 @ It is like this. A mustard seed is the smallest seed that is ever planted in the earth.

bwe@Mark:4:32 @ But the plant that grows from that seed is bigger than any other plant. It puts out very big branches. The birds come and live in its branches.

bwe@Mark:4:35 @ In the evening of that day, Jesus said to his disciples, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.

bwe@Mark:5:2 @ There were graves in that place. As soon as Jesus came out of the boat, a man came from among the graves to meet him. The man had a bad spirit in him.

bwe@Mark:5:12 @ The bad spirits begged Jesus saying, Send us to the pigs so that we can go into them.

bwe@Mark:5:19 @ But Jesus did not let him. He said, Go home. Tell your friends what the Lord has done for you. Tell them that he has helped you.

bwe@Mark:5:23 @ He said, My little daughter is dying. I beg you, come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.

bwe@Mark:5:29 @ The bleeding stopped right away. She could feel that she was healed of her trouble.

bwe@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus knew right away that power to heal went out from him. He turned around among the people and said, Who touched my clothes?

bwe@Mark:5:38 @ They came to the rulers house. Jesus saw that there was trouble. People were crying and making much noise because the rulers daughter had died.

bwe@Mark:5:41 @...and said, Talitha cumi! That means,...

bwe@Mark:6:1 @ Jesus left that place and went back to his home town. His disciples went with him.

bwe@Mark:6:5 @ Jesus could not do any big works in that place. But he put his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

bwe@Mark:6:6 @ He was surprised that the people did not believe him. He went out to the villages, teaching the people.

bwe@Mark:6:11 @...dust off your feet. That will...

bwe@Mark:6:12 @ The disciples went out and told the people that they should stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Mark:6:14 @...is risen from death. That is...

bwe@Mark:6:20 @ So Herodias hated John. She wanted to kill him. But she could not because Herod liked John. He knew that John did what was right and was a good man. So he kept John safe. When he heard John speak he was troubled in his heart, and yet he was glad to hear him.

bwe@Mark:6:23 @ He made a promise which he would not break. He said, Anything that you ask me for I will give you, even if you ask me for half of my kingdom.

bwe@Mark:6:43 @ Then they gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:7:2 @ They saw some of the disciples eating food. They had not washed their hands before they ate. The Pharisees said that was wrong.

bwe@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?

bwe@Mark:7:8 @ You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.

bwe@Mark:7:9 @ You break Gods law so that you can keep your own law.

bwe@Mark:7:11 @ You say, "Tell your father or your mother that what you were going to give to them is Corban." (That means a gift to God.)

bwe@Mark:7:13 @ You make Gods law to mean nothing so that you can keep your own laws. You do many other things like that also.

bwe@Mark:7:19 @ It does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and then it goes out of the body. By saying this, Jesus meant that food does not make a person dirty.

bwe@Mark:7:21 @ Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.

bwe@Mark:7:27 @ She answered, Yes, Sir. But even the little dogs under the table eat food that falls from the childrens table.

bwe@Mark:7:29 @ When she came to her house, she found that the bad spirit had left. Her daughter was lying on the bed.

bwe@Mark:7:33 @...sighed. He said, Ephphatha! That means,...

bwe@Mark:8:1 @ Again at that time many, many people came together. They had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples. He said,

bwe@Mark:8:8 @ The people ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Mark:8:16 @ The disciples talked to one another about the matter. They said, He says that because we have no bread.

bwe@Mark:8:21 @ He said to them, How is it that you do not yet understand?

bwe@Mark:8:24 @ The man looked up and said, I see men, but they look like trees that are walking.

bwe@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went with his disciples to the villages in Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am?

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:8:37 @ What can a person give to get back his soul? People have gone away from God and are full of wrong ways. If anyone in this time is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of Man will come with his holy angels, and be great like his Father.

bwe@Mark:9:11 @ Then they asked Jesus, Why do the scribes <FI>who know all about the holy writings<Fi> say that first Elijah must come?

bwe@Mark:9:12 @ He said, Elijah does come first. He will get everything ready. But why do the holy writings say that the Son of Man must have much trouble? They say, "He will have much trouble and the people will not respect him."

bwe@Mark:9:13 @ I tell you that Elijah has come. The people did to him just what they wanted to do. They did just as it is written about him.

bwe@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him in the fire and in the water. It has tried to kill him. If you can do anything for him, show us that you share our suffering by helping us.

bwe@Mark:9:30 @ Then they left that place and went through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know it.

bwe@Mark:9:40 @ He that is not against us is on our side.

bwe@Mark:10:1 @ Jesus left that place and went through the country of Judea on the other side of the Jordan river. Many people came to him there again. He taught them as he always did.

bwe@Mark:10:4 @ They said, Moses allowed a man to write a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.

bwe@Mark:10:5 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard.

bwe@Mark:10:7 @ That is why a man must leave his father and mother and stay with his wife.

bwe@Mark:10:17 @ Jesus started on the way again. A man came running and kneeled down before him. He said, Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will live for ever?

bwe@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink from? Can you go through the big trouble that I will go through?

bwe@Mark:10:43 @ But that is not the way it is among you. Anyone among you who wants to be great must help the others.

bwe@Mark:10:47 @ He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. So he shouted, Jesus, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Mark:11:20 @ The next morning they passed the fig tree again. They saw that it had died from the roots.

bwe@Mark:11:23 @ I tell you the truth. Anyone may say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea." He must not doubt in his heart, but he must believe that he will have the things he asks for and he will have them.

bwe@Mark:11:24 @ So I tell you, when you ask God for anything believe that you will get it and you will have it.

bwe@Mark:11:32 @ But what if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it"? They feared the people because they all believed that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Mark:12:12 @ They tried to catch Jesus but they feared the people. They knew that Jesus had spoken this against them. So they left him and went away.

bwe@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true. You do not fear any person or care how great he is. But you teach the true way of God. Tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or is it not?

bwe@Mark:12:18 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. They say that people do not rise from death. They asked Jesus a question.

bwe@Mark:12:28 @ One of the scribes heard them talking. He saw that Jesus gave them a good answer. Then he came and asked, Which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Mark:12:33 @...as you love yourself. That is...

bwe@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that the scribe was wise. So he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that everyone feared to ask him any more questions.

bwe@Mark:12:35 @ Jesus was teaching people in the temple. He said, How can the scribes say that Christ is Davids son?

bwe@Mark:13:7 @ You will hear about wars. You will hear that war is coming. But do not fear. These things must happen, but that is not yet the end.

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:13:11 @ When men take you to court, do not be troubled about what you will say. Say whatever comes to your mind at that time. It is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Mark:13:14 @ Daniel the Man of God said that people would put something very bad in the temple. (Let the one who reads this understand it.) When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

bwe@Mark:13:18 @ Ask God that you may not have the trouble in the cold time of the year.

bwe@Mark:13:22 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

bwe@Mark:13:24 @ In that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine.

bwe@Mark:13:29 @ It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

bwe@Mark:13:36 @ Watch, so that you will not be sleeping if he comes quickly.

bwe@Mark:14:1 @ The Passover Feast and the feast with bread that has no yeast in it was two days later. The chief priests and the scribes planned how to catch Jesus by some trick. They wanted to kill him.

bwe@Mark:14:12 @ It was the first day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast. His disciples asked Jesus Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the Passover Feast?

bwe@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man will go just as the holy writings tell about him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!

bwe@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This very night, before the cock calls two times, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Mark:14:38 @ All of you must watch and talk with God so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.

bwe@Mark:14:44 @ The man who was going to help them catch Jesus had told them that he would give them a sign. He said, The man that I kiss is the one. Catch him and take him away safely.

bwe@Mark:14:56 @ Many people came and said things that were not true. But one said this thing and the other said that thing.

bwe@Mark:14:59 @ Others said, No, that is not what he said.

bwe@Mark:14:72 @ Right then the cock called a second time and Peter remembered that Jesus had said, Before the cock calls two times, you will say three times that you do not know me. Then he broke down and cried.

bwe@Mark:15:10 @ He knew that the chief priests did not like Jesus. He knew that was why they brought Jesus to him.

bwe@Mark:15:22 @...took Jesus to Golgotha. That means...

bwe@Mark:15:34 @...Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? That means,...

bwe@Mark:15:38 @ The big cloth that hung in the temple was torn into two pieces. It was torn from the top down to the bottom.

bwe@Mark:15:39 @ The captain who stood in front of Jesus saw that he died. He said, Surely, this man was Gods Son.

bwe@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was dead already. He called the captain and asked him if Jesus was dead.

bwe@Mark:15:45 @ The captain told him that he was. Then Pilate let Joseph take the body.

bwe@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph went to buy some cloth. Then he took Jesus down and wrapped him in the cloth. He laid him in a grave that had been cut in a rock. Then he rolled a very big stone to close the grave.

bwe@Mark:16:1 @ The Sabbath day was past. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome came to the grave. They brought spices that smelled very nice to put on the body of Jesus.

bwe@Mark:16:4 @ The stone was very big. When they looked up they saw that the stone was rolled away.

bwe@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told the disciples that she had seen him. They were still crying because Jesus was dead.

bwe@Mark:16:11 @ Mary told them that he was living. She had seen him. But they would not believe it.

bwe@Mark:16:14 @ Then after that Jesus showed himself to the eleven disciples while they were eating. He said it was very bad for them not to believe and for their minds to be slow. He said they should have believed those who saw him after he rose from death.

bwe@Mark:16:20 @ Then the disciples went and told the good news everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He made their words come true by the signs that happened after they talked.

bwe@Luke:1:1 @ Many people have tried already to write down the things that have happened among us.

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:1:4 @ Then you will know that the things people have told you are true.

bwe@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were good people as God saw them. They obeyed all the laws and the things that the Lord said they should do.

bwe@Luke:1:17 @ He will go ahead of the Lord. He will have the spirit and power of Elijah. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children. And he will bring back the people who do not obey, so that they will want to do what good people do. He will make people ready for the Lord.

bwe@Luke:1:18 @ Then Zechariah said to the angel, How can I know that this will happen? I am an old man and my wife is also old.

bwe@Luke:1:20 @ Now listen. You will be silent and not be able to talk until the day that all this has happened. This is because you did not believe what I told you. At the right time all that I said will come true.

bwe@Luke:1:21 @ the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out of the temple. They were surprised that he stayed in so long.

bwe@Luke:1:22 @ When he came out, he could not talk to them. They knew that he had seen something in the temple. He made signs to them with his hands and did not talk.

bwe@Luke:1:25 @ She said to herself, The Lord has done this for me. At this time he has remembered me so that I need not be ashamed among people anymore.

bwe@Luke:1:35 @...will be over you. That is...

bwe@Luke:1:39 @ At that time, Mary got ready and went as quickly as she could to the hill country. She went to a town in Judah.

bwe@Luke:1:43 @ Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

bwe@Luke:1:52 @ He has moved big rulers from power, and those that were not great he has made great.

bwe@Luke:1:58 @ When her neighbours and family heard that the Lord had been so kind to her, they were glad, too.

bwe@Luke:1:61 @ They said to her, But no one in your family has that name.

bwe@Luke:1:70 @ That is what he promised through his holy prophets of God long ago.

bwe@Luke:1:73 @ That was what he promised our father Abraham he would surely do. He promised to set us free from our enemies. He promised that we should be without fear. He promised that we would worship him and be holy and good before him as long as we live.

bwe@Luke:1:79 @...are going to die. That light...

bwe@Luke:2:1 @ About that time, Augustus the Roman ruler made a law. All the people in the world must have their names written down in a book.

bwe@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first time names were written in a book in this way. Quirinius was the ruler of Syria at that time.

bwe@Luke:2:21 @...named him Jesus. That was...

bwe@Luke:2:26 @ The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he had seen the Lords Christ.

bwe@Luke:2:34 @ Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, the mother of Jesus, He will be a sign that people do not believe in. He will make many people in Israel fall and rise.

bwe@Luke:2:39 @ The parents did everything that the law of the Lord said they should do. Then they went back to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.

bwe@Luke:2:49 @ He said to them, Why did you look for me? Did you not know that I had to be in my Fathers house?

bwe@Luke:3:2 @ Annas and Caiaphas were high priests. At that time God spoke to John in the desert. John was the son of Zechariah.

bwe@Luke:3:6 @ And all people will see that God can save."

bwe@Luke:3:7 @ Many people came out to John to be baptised. He said to them, You family of snakes! Who told you to run away from Gods anger that is coming?

bwe@Luke:3:8 @ Do good things that will show you have stopped your wrong ways! Do not begin to say to yourselves, "We are Abrahams children. "I tell you, God can make children for Abraham from these stones.

bwe@Luke:3:9 @ The axe is ready to cut down the trees. Every tree that does not have good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

bwe@Luke:3:15 @ The people were waiting to see what would happen. They were all asking about John. They thought that he might be the Christ, the great king promised by God long ago.

bwe@Luke:3:17 @ He has a cleaning fan in his hand and will fan his grain very clean. He will put the grain into his storehouse. But he will burn the chaff in the fire that never goes out.

bwe@Luke:3:19 @ John told Herod the ruler that he had done wrong things. He told him he should not have his brothers wife, Herodias. He also told him about all the other wrong things he had done.

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:4:14 @ Jesus had the power of the Spirit when he went back to Galilee. People talked about him in all that part of the country.

bwe@Luke:4:17 @ A man gave him the book that Isaiah the prophet of God wrote long ago. He opened the book and found the place where it says,

bwe@Luke:4:19 @ and to tell people that the year when the Lord will help them has come.

bwe@Luke:4:23 @ Then Jesus said, I know that you will say this to me "Doctor, heal yourself. We have heard what you did in Capernaum. Do the same things here in your own country."

bwe@Luke:4:41 @ The bad spirits also came out of many people. They called out, You are the Son of God! But he stopped them. He would not let them talk because they knew that he was the Christ.

bwe@Luke:5:14 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it to prove to the people that you are healed.

bwe@Luke:5:20 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to him, Man, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to talk about this. They said, Who is this man that is not giving respect to God? No one but God can forgive anyone for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Luke:5:24 @ I want you to know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive wrong things people have done. So he said to the sick man, I tell you, get up. Take up your bed and go home.

bwe@Luke:5:26 @ The people were all surprised and they praised God. They did not know what to think. They said, We have seen things today that are hard to believe.

bwe@Luke:5:35 @ But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will be fasting at that time.

bwe@Luke:6:4 @ He went into Gods house. Some bread was there for God. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat that bread.

bwe@Luke:6:9 @ Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it right to do good things on the Sabbath day, or to do wrong things? Is it right to heal people so that they will live, or to let them die?

bwe@Luke:6:12 @ About that time Jesus went out of the city on the hill to talk with God. He talked with God all night.

bwe@Luke:6:23 @ Be very happy on that day and dance for joy. God will be good to you in heaven. The fathers of these people did the same things to the prophets of God long ago.

bwe@Luke:6:38 @...let it run over. That is...

bwe@Luke:7:10 @ The men who had been sent to Jesus went back into the house. They found that the servant who had been sick was well.

bwe@Luke:7:21 @ At that time Jesus healed many people who were sick or had troubles or bad spirits. He made many blind people able to see.

bwe@Luke:7:31 @ Jesus asked, What will I say that the people of today are like? What are they like?

bwe@Luke:7:37 @ In that city was a bad woman. When she knew that Jesus was eating at the Pharisees house, she came and brought a bottle of oil. It was oil that smelled very sweet and cost much money.

bwe@Luke:8:17 @ Everything that is hidden will be seen. Everything that is secret will be known and come out to be seen.

bwe@Luke:8:18 @ So take care how you listen. Anyone who has something will get more. But he who does not have anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Luke:8:31 @ The spirits begged Jesus not to send them away to the big hole that has no bottom.

bwe@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said, Someone touched me. I know that power to heal went out from me.

bwe@Luke:8:47 @ The woman saw that he knew about her. So she came trembling and bowed down in front of him. She told him in front of all the people why she had touched him. She told him that she had been healed right away.

bwe@Luke:9:5 @...dust off your feet. That will...

bwe@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the ruler heard about all that was happening. He did not know what to think. Some people said John the Baptizer had risen from death.

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:9:17 @ They all ate and had enough. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

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:9:26 @ If anyone is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of man will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of man will come with his holy angels and be great like his Father.

bwe@Luke:9:31 @...his leaving this world. That would...

bwe@Luke:9:36 @ The talking stopped. Then Jesus was left alone. The disciples did not say anything. They did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

bwe@Luke:9:43 @ All the people were surprised to see that God has so much power. While the people were wondering about everything Jesus did, he talked to his disciples.

bwe@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord chose seventy other men. He sent them ahead of him, two by two. He sent them to every town and village that he was going to visit.

bwe@Luke:10:7 @ Stay in that house. Eat and drink what the people give you. The one who works should have his pay for it. Do not move from one house to another house.

bwe@Luke:10:11 @ Say to the people, "We wipe off even the dust of the town that is on our feet. This will be a sign to you. But remember this, the kingdom of God has come."

bwe@Luke:10:20 @ Do not be glad that the bad spirits obey you. But be glad that your names are written in the book in heaven.

bwe@Luke:10:21 @...like children. Yes, Father. That was...

bwe@Luke:10:25 @ A man who taught Gods law stood up and asked Jesus a question to try him out. Teacher, he said. What must I do so that I will live for ever?

bwe@Luke:10:28 ...Jesus said, That is...

bwe@Luke:10:29 @ But the man wanted to prove that he was all right. So he said to Jesus, Who is my neighbour?

bwe@Luke:10:31 @ A priest happened to be going down that road. He saw the man but he passed by on the other side of the road.

bwe@Luke:10:32 @ A man who worked in the temple came along to that place also. He saw the man but he passed by on the other side.

bwe@Luke:10:33 @ A man from the country of Samaria was going on that road also, and came to the place. He saw the man and wanted to share in his troubles.

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:11:35 @ So be sure that it is not dark in you where it should be light.

bwe@Luke:11:36 @ If no part of your body is dark, it will all be light. It will be like a lamp that shines to give you light.

bwe@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee saw that Jesus did not wash his hands before he ate. He was surprised.

bwe@Luke:11:44 @ You will have trouble! You are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that are not marked. Men walk over them and do not know it.

bwe@Luke:11:47 @ You will have trouble! You build places to bury the prophets of God that your fathers killed.

bwe@Luke:11:49 @ That is why God, who is wise, said, "I will send prophets and messengers to them. They will kill some of them. And they will trouble some of them."

bwe@Luke:11:50 @ So the people who are living now will be punished for all the blood of the prophets of God that is on the ground since the world was made.

bwe@Luke:11:54 @ They wanted him to say something that was wrong so they could make trouble for him.

bwe@Luke:12:2 @ Everything that is covered up will be seen. Everything that is hidden will be known.

bwe@Luke:12:4 @ You are my friends. I tell you, do not fear people who can kill your bodies. After that they cannot do anything more to you.

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:12:9 @ But if anyone tells people he does not know me, the Son of Man will also tell the angels of God that he does not know that person.

bwe@Luke:12:16 @ Then he told them a story. He said, A rich man had a farm. The things that grew on it were many.

bwe@Luke:12:28 @ God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is burned. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!

bwe@Luke:12:30 @ All the people who are not Jews work for these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need them.

bwe@Luke:12:33 @ Sell what you have and give it to poor people. Make for yourselves money bags that will not wear out. Keep the things you like in heaven. They will not be lost there. People cannot go in and steal them, and insects cannot spoil them.

bwe@Luke:12:43 @ His master will bless that servant if he is doing this when he comes!

bwe@Luke:12:44 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has

bwe@Luke:12:45 @ But perhaps that servant says to himself, "My master will not come just now." Then he begins to beat the other servants. He begins to eat and drink until he is drunk.

bwe@Luke:12:51 @ Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? I tell you, "No". I came to take away peace.

bwe@Luke:13:1 @ Some people were there at that time who told Jesus what Pilate had done. He had killed some of the people of Galilee and put their blood with the blood of their sacrifices to God.

bwe@Luke:13:9 @ If it has fruit on it next year, that will be good. But if it has no fruit, you can have it cut down."

bwe@Luke:13:11 @ A woman was there who had a spirit that had made her sick for eighteen years. She had to bend down all the time and could not stand up straight.

bwe@Luke:13:16 @ This woman belongs to Abrahams family. Satan has tied her for eighteen years. Is it not right that she should be set free on the Sabbath day?

bwe@Luke:13:31 @ At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him, Go away from here. Herod wants to kill you.

bwe@Luke:13:32 @ He said, Go and tell that fox, "I drive bad spirits out of people and heal people. I do it today and tomorrow. On the third day I will finish what I am doing."

bwe@Luke:14:7 @ Jesus told a story to the people who were asked to eat at the house. He saw that they chose to sit at the best places.

bwe@Luke:14:8 @ He said to them, When you are called to a wedding, do not sit in the best place. It may be that a better man than you has been called.

bwe@Luke:14:23 @ Then the master said to the servant, "Go out onto the roads and behind bushes. Find people and make them come in so that my house will be full.

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:15:7 @ I tell you, the angels in heaven will be glad like that when one bad person stops doing wrong things. The angels will be more glad about that one person than about ninety-nine good people who do not need to change their ways.

bwe@Luke:15:10 @ I tell you, the angels of God will be glad like that when one bad person stops doing wrong things.

bwe@Luke:15:14 @ He spent everything he had. There was no food in that country for a long time. He began to be in trouble.

bwe@Luke:15:31 @ The father said, "Son you have always been with me. And all that I have is yours.

bwe@Luke:16:1 @ Jesus also talked to his disciples. He said, A rich man had a manager in charge of his things. People told the rich man that the manager was wasting his things.

bwe@Luke:16:9 @ I tell you this. Money may be a wrong thing, but use it to make friends for yourselves. Then when your money is spent, they will be glad to see you come into that place where people live for ever.

bwe@Luke:16:21 @ He wanted to eat the pieces of food that fell from the rich mans table. Dogs came and licked his sores.

bwe@Luke:16:26 @ But that is not all. A wide hole is between you and us. No one can go from here to you if he wanted to. And no one can come from where you are to us."

bwe@Luke:16:28 @ I have five brothers there. Tell him to talk to them so that they will not come to this place where there is pain."

bwe@Luke:17:2 @...into the sea. That would...

bwe@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back. He praised God with a loud voice.

bwe@Luke:17:21 @...or "There it is! That is...

bwe@Luke:17:24 @ When lightning comes, it lights up the whole sky. It will be like that on the day when the Son of Man comes.

bwe@Luke:17:29 @ Then one day Lot went out of the city of Sodom. Then on that day fire and burning rock came down from the sky and killed all the people.

bwe@Luke:17:30 @ That is the way it will be on the day when the Son of Man is seen.

bwe@Luke:17:31 @ On that day a man will be at the top of his house, and his things will be below. But he must not go down to get his things. In the same way a man will be in the field, but he must not go back home.

bwe@Luke:17:34 @ I tell you, on that night two people may be in one bed. One will be taken away and the other will be left.

bwe@Luke:17:37 @ They asked him, Where will this be, Lord? He said, The big birds that eat meat will go to the place where the dead body is.

bwe@Luke:18:1 @ Jesus told them a story to teach them that they should keep on talking with God and not give up.

bwe@Luke:18:3 @ There was a woman in that city whose husband was dead. The woman came to the judge again and again. She said, "Save me from my enemy!"

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:18:11 @ The Pharisee stood and said to himself, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men. They steal, cheat, and commit adultery. I thank you that I am not like this tax collector.

bwe@Luke:18:18 @ A ruler asked Jesus, Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will live for ever?

bwe@Luke:18:19 @ Jesus answered him, Why do you call me good? Only one is good, and that is God.

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:19:4 @ So he ran ahead and climbed into a tree to see Jesus, for he was coming that way.

bwe@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he started to tell them a story. He did so because they were near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God would begin right away.

bwe@Luke:19:22 @ The ruler said "You bad servant! I will judge you by your own words. You knew that I was a hard man! You knew that I take in where I put nothing out. You knew that I gather where I did not plant.

bwe@Luke:19:26 @ The ruler said, "I tell you. Anyone who has some will get more. But he who does not have anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Luke:19:44 @...on top of another. That will...

bwe@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," then the people will kill us with stones. They believe that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:20:18 @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But if that stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.

bwe@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests wanted to catch Jesus right then but they feared the people. They understood that he had told this story against them.

bwe@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched for a chance to catch him. And they sent men to spy on him. These men acted as if they were good men. They did this because they wanted to catch him in something that he said. They wanted to give him over to the ruler who would judge and punish him.

bwe@Luke:20:21 @ So they asked Jesus, Teacher, we know that you talk and teach what is right. You do not fear any person. But you teach the true way of God.

bwe@Luke:20:27 @ Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus. (They say that people do not rise from death.)

bwe@Luke:20:37 @ Even Moses showed that people do rise from death. It is in his book where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bwe@Luke:20:41 @ But Jesus asked them, How can people say that Christ is Davids son?

bwe@Luke:21:20 @ When you see soldiers all around Jerusalem, then you will know that it will soon be broken down.

bwe@Luke:21:22 @ Those will be days of punishment. All that has been written in the holy writings must happen.

bwe@Luke:21:26 @ Men will be weak with fear. They will be afraid of the things that will be happening to the world. The powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Luke:21:30 @ As soon as you see the leaves coming, you know that it will soon be the warm time of the year.

bwe@Luke:21:31 @ It is the same way when you see all these things happening. You will know that the kingdom of God is near.

bwe@Luke:21:34 @ But take care. Do not think too much about eating, drinking, and things in this life. If you do, that day will come and catch you like a trap.

bwe@Luke:21:35 @ That day will come to all people who are living on the whole earth.

bwe@Luke:21:36 @ Watch all the time. Ask God to make you strong to do right so that you will not go through all these things that are going to happen. Ask him to make you able to stand in front of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:22:1 @ It was near the time for the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. This is called the Passover Feast.

bwe@Luke:22:7 @ It was the day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast,

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:22:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you this, Peter. This very day, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Luke:22:35 @ Jesus said to them, When I sent you out to the towns, I told you not to carry a money bag, or a bag, or shoes. Did you ever need anything at that time? They said, No.

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 @...swords. And he answered, That is...

bwe@Luke:22:40 @ He said to them, Talk with God so that you will not do wrong.

bwe@Luke:22:46 @ He said to them, Why are you sleeping? Get up. Talk with God so that you will not do wrong.

bwe@Luke:22:61 @ The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered that the Lord had said to him, Before the cock calls in the morning, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Luke:23:2 @ They began to make a complaint against him. They said, This man is leading our people to do wrong. He says we should not pay taxes to Caesar. He says that he is Christ, a King.

bwe@Luke:23:7 @ When he knew that he came from Herods country, he sent him to Herod. Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.

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:23:12 @ Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Before that, they had hated each other.

bwe@Luke:23:38 @ The sign that was put above Jesus head said, This is the King of the Jews.

bwe@Luke:23:45 @ The sun did not shine. The big cloth that hung in the temple was torn into two pieces.

bwe@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and got things ready to put on his body. These things were spices that smelled very nice, and sweet kinds of oil. On the Sabbath day they rested as the law said they should.

bwe@Luke:24:2 @ They saw that the stone was rolled away from the grave.

bwe@Luke:24:7 @ He said that the Son of Man would be given over to bad men. He would be nailed to a cross, and he would rise on the third day.

bwe@Luke:24:12 @ That same day, two of the disciples were going to the town called Emmaus. It was about two hours walk from Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:24:13 @ They were talking together about all the things that had happened.

bwe@Luke:24:16 @ Jesus asked them, What is this that you are talking about as you walk along looking so sad?

bwe@Luke:24:18 @ Jesus said, What things?" They said, All that has happened to Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet of God. He had power to do big works and to teach the people. He was respected by God and all the people.

bwe@Luke:24:20 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who would free the people of Israel. But that is not all. This is the third day since they did it.

bwe@Luke:24:21 @ Some of our women told us things that surprised us. Early this morning they were at the grave.

bwe@Luke:24:22 @ They did not find his body there. They came back and said that they saw angels. The angels told them that Jesus was living.

bwe@Luke:24:24 @ Then he said to them, You foolish men! Your hearts are slow to believe all that the prophets of God have said long ago.

bwe@Luke:24:26 @ Then he told them the meaning of all that Moses and all the prophets of God long ago had written about him.

bwe@Luke:24:38 @ Look at my hands and my feet. You can see that it is I myself. Touch me with your hands and see. A spirit does not have a body and bones as you see I have.

bwe@Luke:24:41 @ Then he said, I told you this while I was with you. I told you that things were written about me in the books of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. And I told you that all of these things must come true.

bwe@Luke:24:42 @ Then he taught them so that they understood the things in the holy writings.

bwe@Luke:24:43 @ He said, It is written that the Christ must have trouble. On the third day he will rise from death.

bwe@John:1:4 @...was in the Word. That life...

bwe@John:1:7 @ He came to talk about the Light, so that all people might believe in the Light by what he said.

bwe@John:1:8 @ He himself was not that Light, but he was sent to talk about the Light.

bwe@John:1:11 @ He came into the world that was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

bwe@John:1:13 @...Gods family by God. That is,...

bwe@John:1:14 @ The Word became man and he lived among us. We saw with our own eyes that he is great. He is great the way God the Father made his only Son great. We saw that he is full of loving kindness and truth.

bwe@John:1:15 @ John talked about him. He called out saying, Here is the man I told you about. I said that the one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he lived before I lived.

bwe@John:1:30 @ Here is the man I told you about. I said that the one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he lived before I lived.

bwe@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know who he was. But I came and baptized people in water so that the people of Israel would know who he was.

bwe@John:1:33 @...sky on a man. That man...

bwe@John:1:44 @ Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. Andrew and Peter were also from that town.

bwe@John:1:48 @...under the fig tree. That was...

bwe@John:1:50 @ Jesus answered, I told you that I saw you under the fig tree. Is that why you believe in me now? You will see more wonderful things than that!

bwe@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, Do all that he tells you to do.

bwe@John:2:9 @ The man in charge of the feast tasted the water that was now turned into wine. He did not know where it came from, but the servants who drew the water knew. When the man had tasted it, he called the man who was being married.

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:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that Gods word says, My love for your house is like a fire burning in me.

bwe@John:2:22 @ After Jesus died and had been raised from death, the disciples remembered that he had said this to them. Then they believed what the holy writings say. They also believed what Jesus had said to them.

bwe@John:3:5 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This new birth is by water and by the Spirit. No person can enter Gods kingdom if he has not been born that way.

bwe@John:3:6 @ That which is born of a person is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

bwe@John:3:13 @ No one has ever gone up to heaven-...came down from heaven. That One...

bwe@John:3:16 @ God loved the world so very, very much that he gave his only Son. Because he did that, everyone who believes in him will not lose his life, but will live for ever.

bwe@John:3:19 @...not want the light. That is...

bwe@John:3:21 @ But everyone who does what is right comes to the light. He wants people to see that God helps him to do what is right.

bwe@John:3:29 @ The wife belongs to the man who has married her. The mans best friend may stand and listen. And when he hears what that man says, he is very glad for him. So what I hear makes me very glad in the same way.

bwe@John:4:1 @ The Pharisees heard that Jesus was getting people to follow him and was baptizing them. (Jesus disciples baptized them, not he himself.) He now had more followers than John.

bwe@John:4:2 @ The Lord knew that they had heard about it. So he left Judea and went back to Galilee again.

bwe@John:4:4 @ He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

bwe@John:4:10 @ The woman said, Sir, you have nothing to draw with. The well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

bwe@John:4:13 @ But anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. The water I give him will become a well inside of him that will never be dry. It will give him life for ever.

bwe@John:4:16 @..."I have no husband." That is...

bwe@John:4:22 @ But the time is coming, yes, the time is here already, when those who worship God will worship him in spirit and in a true way. My Father is looking for that kind of people to worship him.

bwe@John:4:24 @ The woman said to Jesus, I know that Messiah is coming. His name is Christ. When he comes he will tell us everything.

bwe@John:4:31 @ Jesus said to them, I have food that you do not know about.

bwe@John:4:35 @ The one who gathers the harvest receives a reward for it. He gathers a harvest that will live for ever. Then the one who sows and the one who gathers will both be happy.

bwe@John:4:44 @ When he came to Galilee, the people of that country were glad to see him. They had seen all the things he did when he was at the feast in Jerusalem. They had been at the feast also.

bwe@John:4:45 @...of Cana in Galilee. That was...

bwe@John:4:46 @ He heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, and he went to Jesus and said, I beg you, come and heal my son. He is dying.

bwe@John:4:52 @ The father knew that was the time when Jesus said to him Your son will not die. So he and all his family believed in Jesus.

bwe@John:4:53 @ This was the second big work that Jesus did after he came back from Judea to Galilee.

bwe@John:5:3 @ Many sick people were lying on these places. Some of them were blind. Some were lame. Some were very thin and stiff so that they could not move by themselves. All of them were waiting for the water to move.

bwe@John:5:4 @ An angel came down into the water at a certain time and made it move. The first person who stepped into the water when it moved was healed of any sickness that he had.

bwe@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw the man lying there. He knew that he had been sick for a long time. He said to him, Do you want to be healed?

bwe@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the leaders of the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

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:5:20 @ My Father loves his Son. He shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show his Son bigger works than these so that you may be surprised.

bwe@John:5:23 @ He did this so that all people would respect the Son, just as they respect his Father. My Father has sent his Son. Anyone who does not respect his Son does not respect the Father.

bwe@John:5:24 @ I tell you the truth. The person who hears what I say and believes in him that sent me will live for ever. He will not be judged. He has already passed from death to life.

bwe@John:5:34 @ I do not need to listen to what a person says about me. But I tell you this so that you may be saved.

bwe@John:5:36 @ But I have something greater than John to talk for me. It is the works that I do. My Father has given me works to finish. The works that I do tell that he sent me.

bwe@John:5:39 @ You read holy writings carefully. You think that there you will find out how to live for ever. In the same writings you will read about me.

bwe@John:5:40 @ And yet you will not come to me for that life.

bwe@John:5:42 @ But I know that you do not love God in your hearts.

bwe@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I will carry a complaint against you to my Father. Moses has already carried the complaint against you. He is the very one you trust.

bwe@John:6:9 @ He said, A boy here has five loaves of bread and two small fish. But what can that little bit of food do for so many people?

bwe@John:6:12 @ When they had eaten enough, he said to his disciples, Gather up all the pieces that are left so that nothing will be lost.

bwe@John:6:14 @ When those men saw the big work that Jesus did, they said, Truly, this is the Prophet that is to come into the world.

bwe@John:6:24 @ The next day the people saw that Jesus and his disciples were not there. Then they went to Capernaum in boats to look for Jesus.

bwe@John:6:27 @ Do not work for the food that spoils, but work for the food that will never spoil, the food that will give you life for ever. The Son of Man will give you that food. God my Father has chosen him to do that.

bwe@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, The work that God asks you to do is to believe in the one whom he has sent.

bwe@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate bread in the wilderness. The holy writings say, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. It was not Moses who gave you that bread from heaven. But my Father gives you true bread from heaven.

bwe@John:6:33 @ He who comes down from heaven is the bread that God gives. He is the one who gives life to the world.

bwe@John:6:35 @ Jesus said, I am the bread that gives life. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty.

bwe@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me, and yet you will not believe in me.

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:6:41 @ The leaders of the Jews did not like Jesus to say, I am the bread that has come down from heaven.

bwe@John:6:48 @ I am the bread that gives life.

bwe@John:6:50 @ Here is bread that comes down from heaven. The person who eats this bread will never die.

bwe@John:6:51 @ I am the bread that gives life. I came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. I will give bread so that the world may live. I am that bread.

bwe@John:6:58 @ This bread which came down from heaven is not like the bread that your fathers ate. They ate bread but they died. Anyone who eats this bread from heaven will live for ever.

bwe@John:6:61 @ But Jesus knew that his disciples did not like what he said. He asked, Is this hard for you?

bwe@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh does not help. The words I say to you are Spirit and life.

bwe@John:6:65 ...Then Jesus said, That is...

bwe@John:7:2 @ Every year the Jews had a feast to remember the time when their fathers lived in tents in the desert. The time was near for that feast.

bwe@John:7:18 @...that God is great. That person...

bwe@John:7:23 @ You do it on the Sabbath day so that you will not break the law of Moses. If you do that, then why are you angry with me because I healed a man on the Sabbath day?

bwe@John:7:26 @ See, he does not fear to speak and yet they say nothing to him! Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

bwe@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, Where will he go that we cannot find him? Will he go to our people who are living in other countries? Will he teach them?

bwe@John:7:37 @ The last day of the feast was a big day. On that day Jesus stood up and shouted, If anyone is thirsty, he may come to me and drink.

bwe@John:7:38 @ If anyone believes in me, the holy writings say, "Rivers of water that give life will flow out of his heart."

bwe@John:7:39 @ This is what Jesus meant: those who believe in him would receive the Spirit. At that time no one had received the Holy Spirit because Jesus had not yet been lifted up to heaven

bwe@John:7:42 @ Do not the holy writings say that Christ will be of Davids family? Will he not come from Bethlehem where David lived?

bwe@John:7:52 @ They answered him, Are you from Galilee also? Study what is written. You will see that no prophet is to come from Galilee.

bwe@John:8:5 @ The law of Moses tells us that the people who do that should be killed with stones. What do you say?

bwe@John:8:12 @ Then Jesus talked to the people in the temple. He said, I am the Light of the world. The one who comes with me will never walk in the dark, but he will have light that gives life.

bwe@John:8:17 @ Even in your law it says that when two people say the same thing, it is true.

bwe@John:8:24 @ That is why I said, "You will die doing wrong things." If you do not believe that I am who I said I am, then you will die doing wrong things.

bwe@John:8:27 @ The people did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about his Father.

bwe@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he. You will know that I do nothing by my own power, but I talk the way my Father taught me.

bwe@John:8:37 @ I know that you come from Abraham. But you want to kill me because you do not like what I tell you.

bwe@John:8:38 @ I tell you about the things that I have seen where my Father is, and you do what you have seen your father do.

bwe@John:8:46 @ Which one of you can prove that what I have done is bad? I tell you what is true. Why then do you not believe me?

bwe@John:8:47 @...come from God. That is...

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:8:56 @ Your father Abraham was glad that he would see my coming. He did see it and he was very glad.

bwe@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, It was not that he or his parents did any wrong thing. But it was so that people would see what God will do in him.

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 his eyes. After that, he was able to see.

bwe@John:9:9 @ Some people said, Yes, this is the same man. Others said, He is like that man. But the man himself said, I am that man.

bwe@John:9:10 @ They asked him, How is it that you can see now?

bwe@John:9:11 ...He answered them, That man...

bwe@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked the man, How is it that you can see now? He answered them, The man put mud on my eyes. I washed my eyes and now I can see.

bwe@John:9:18 @ But the leaders of the Jews did not really believe what they heard about the man. They did not believe that first he had been blind and now was able to see. So they called the parents of the man who could now see.

bwe@John:9:19 @ Tell us, they said. Is this your son who you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?

bwe@John:9:20 @ The parents answered, We know that this is our son. And we know that he was born blind.

bwe@John:9:21 @ But we do not know how it is that he can now see. We do not know who healed him. Ask him. He is old enough to talk for himself.

bwe@John:9:22 @ The parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. They knew that the leaders of the Jews had already agreed that if anyone said Jesus is the Christ, they would be put out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:23 @ That is why the parents said, He is old enough to talk for himself. Ask him.

bwe@John:9:24 @ Then again they called the man who had been blind. They said to him, You must praise God for this. We know that the man who healed you is a bad man.

bwe@John:9:25 @ He answered them, I do not know if he is a bad man or not. But one thing I do know. I know that first I was blind, but now I can see.

bwe@John:9:29 @ We know that God talked to Moses. But this man, we do not know where he comes from.

bwe@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to bad people. But God listens to the person who shows him respect and who obeys him.

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:9:35 @ Jesus heard that the people had put him out. When he found him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of God?

bwe@John:9:36 @ He answered, Sir, who is the Son of God? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.

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:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees were with Jesus and heard him say this. They asked him, You mean to say that we are blind also?

bwe@John:9:41 @ Jesus answered them, If you agreed that you were blind, you would not be bad people. But you say, "We can see." So then you are still bad people.

bwe@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal the sheep and to kill them and spoil them. I have come so that people may live and that they may enjoy life to the full.

bwe@John:10:12 @ Some people work for pay. The one who does that is not the one who really cares. The sheep do not belong to him. When he sees a bad animal coming, he will leave the sheep and run away. He will let the animal take the sheep and make the sheep run away.

bwe@John:10:13 @ He does that because he is only working for pay and does not care what happens to the sheep.

bwe@John:10:22 @ At that time there was a feast in Jerusalem at the temple. It was the cold time of the year.

bwe@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in that part of the temple called Solomons resting place.

bwe@John:10:28 @ I give them life that lasts for ever. They will never die. No one will take them out of my hand.

bwe@John:10:32 @ So Jesus said to them, I have done many good things that come from my Father. For which one of those are you going to kill me?

bwe@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, In your own books it is written that God said, "You are gods."

bwe@John:10:36 @ Nothing can change the words in the holy writings. It is written that God spoke to men and that he called them gods. So he called some men gods. Then why do you say I do not respect God when I say that I am the Son of God? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.

bwe@John:10:38 @ But if I am doing my Fathers work, believe the work that I do, even though you do not believe me. Then you will know and you will believe that my Father is in me and I am in him.

bwe@John:10:41 @ Many people came to him there. They said, John himself did not do any big work. But everything that John said about this man is true.

bwe@John:11:2 @ Mary was the same woman that put oil on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

bwe@John:11:4 @ Jesus heard the message. He said, The man is sick, but he will not die from it. But this will show people that God is great, and his Son also.

bwe@John:11:6 @ When he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two days more.

bwe@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a person walks in the daylight, then he will not fall. He can see by the light that is in the world.

bwe@John:11:13 @ But Jesus meant that Lazarus had died. The disciples thought that Lazarus was sleeping to have a rest.

bwe@John:11:15 @ For your sake I am glad that I was not there. You will really believe in me. But come, let us go to him.

bwe@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been buried four days.

bwe@John:11:20 @ As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary just stayed in the house.

bwe@John:11:22 @ But even yet, I know that God will give you anything that you ask for.

bwe@John:11:24 @ Martha said, I know that he will rise when the dead people are raised up on the last day.

bwe@John:11:27 @ She said, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ. I believe that you are the Son of God who was to come into the world.

bwe@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you believed God you would see that he is great?

bwe@John:11:42 @ I know that you always hear me. But I have said this so that the people who are standing here might believe that you have sent me.

bwe@John:11:44 @ Out came the dead man! The cloth that they had buried him in was tied around his hands and feet. Another small cloth was tied around his face. Jesus said to the people, Take off the cloths and free him!

bwe@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, was high priest that year. He said to them, You know nothing.

bwe@John:11:51 @ He himself did not understand what he was saying. But he was the high priest that year. God spoke through him to say that Jesus should die for those people.

bwe@John:11:53 @ So from that day on they planned to kill Jesus.

bwe@John:11:54 @ That is why Jesus did not go among the Jews in the open. But he went to another part of the country, to a town called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

bwe@John:11:56 @ They were looking around for Jesus. As they were standing in the temple they talked to one another. They said, What do you think? Do you think that he will come to the feast?

bwe@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover Feast Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus lived. This was the Lazarus that Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:12:9 @ Many of the Jews knew that Jesus was at Bethany. So they came because Jesus was there. But they also came to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.

bwe@John:12:12 @ The next day Jesus went to Jerusalem. Many people who were at the feast heard that he was coming.

bwe@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first. But when God had made Jesus great, then they remembered what the holy writings said about him. They remembered that people had done these things to him.

bwe@John:12:18 @ That is why many people went out to meet Jesus. They had heard about the big work he did.

bwe@John:12:27 @ Now my heart is very sad. Shall I say, "Father, save me from this time of trouble"? No, I have come to this time just so that I might go through it.

bwe@John:12:28 @ Father, do what will make your name great. Then a voice from the sky said, I have already done that and I will do it again.

bwe@John:12:34 @ The people answered him, Our law book tells us that Christ will stay here for ever. Why do you say, "The Son of Man will be raised up from the earth"? Tell us who this Son of Man is.

bwe@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, You have light for a short time longer. Walk while you have the light so that you will not need to walk in the dark. The person who walks in the dark cannot see where he is going.

bwe@John:12:36 @ Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may be a people who have the light in you. When Jesus had said this, he left them. They did not know where he was.

bwe@John:12:42 @ Some of the chief rulers believed in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone that they believed in him. They were afraid the Pharisees would put them out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:12:48 @ The one who will not believe in me and will not listen to what I say will be judged anyway. The same things that I have said will judge him on the last day.

bwe@John:12:50 @ I know that what he told me to say has power to give life for ever. So I say everything my Father has told me to say.

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:13:3 @ Jesus knew that his Father had put everything into his hands. He knew he had come from God. He knew he was going back to God.

bwe@John:13:11 @...people who hated him. That is...

bwe@John:13:20 @ I tell you the truth. The person who receives the one I send, receives me. He that receives me, receives the one who sent me.

bwe@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter nodded to that disciple. He said, Tell us who he is talking about.

bwe@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, I will put a piece of bread in the dish. Then I will give it to that one. He put in the bread, then he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

bwe@John:13:29 @ Judas had the money bag. Some thought that Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the feast, or that he wanted Judas to give something to the poor people.

bwe@John:13:34 @...you a new law. That law...

bwe@John:13:35 @ This is how all people will know that you are my disciples.

bwe@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him, Will you die for me? I tell you the truth. Before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@John:14:3 @ If I go to make a place ready for you, I will come again. I will come to take you so that you may be with me.

bwe@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, Philip, you mean to say that I have been with you all this time and yet you do not know me? The person who has seen me has seen my Father also. Why do you say, "Show us your Father"?

bwe@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in my Father and my Father is in me? The things that I say, I speak not from my own mind. But my Father lives in me and he does the work.

bwe@John:14:11 @ I tell you that I am in my Father and my Father is in me. But you do not believe me. So then let the work that I do prove it to you.

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:14:13 @ I will do anything you ask of my Father in my name. In that way the Son will make my Fathers name great.

bwe@John:14:20 @ At that time you will know that I am in my Father. You are in me, and I am in you.

bwe@John:14:26 @ But the Holy Spirit is the one who will help you. My Father will send him in my name. He will teach you everything that I have said to you. His Helper will remind you of all that I said.

bwe@John:14:28 @ You heard me say, "I am going away and then I will come back to you." If you really loved me, then you would have been very glad that I am going to my Father. My Father is greater than I am.

bwe@John:14:31 @ I will do what my Father tells me to do so that the people of the world may know that I love my Father. Get up now! We must go.

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:15:5 @...who is in me. That person...

bwe@John:15:10 @...will love you always. That is...

bwe@John:15:11 @ I have told you these things so that you may be glad in the same way I am glad. Then you will be very glad always.

bwe@John:15:15 @ I do not call you servants anymore, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because you know everything that my Father has told me.

bwe@John:15:16 @...big work to do. That work...

bwe@John:15:18 @ If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before it hated you.

bwe@John:15:19 @...out of the world. That is...

bwe@John:15:24 @ No other person has ever done the work that I have done. If they had, then what they did would not be a wrong thing. But now they have seen me and hated me and my Father also.

bwe@John:16:1 @ I have told you these things so that you will not turn back.

bwe@John:16:4 @ I have told you all these things now. Then when that time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things in the beginning because I myself was with you.

bwe@John:16:8 @ When the Helper comes, he will prove this to the people of the world that they are wrong. They are wrong about what they call bad and about what they call good. He will show them how to be right with God. He will show them about Gods judgement.

bwe@John:16:9 @ He will prove it is a bad thing that they do not believe in me.

bwe@John:16:13 @ When the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will show you everything that is true. He will not speak his own message, but he will tell you the things that he has been told to tell you. He will tell you what is going to happen.

bwe@John:16:15 @...belongs to me also. That is...

bwe@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him this question. So he said to them, Are you asking each other what I mean by saying, "Very soon you will not see me. Then in a little while after that you will see me"?

bwe@John:16:20 @ I tell you the truth. You people will cry and be very sad, but the people in the world will be very glad. At first you will be sad, but after that you will not be sad. You will be glad.

bwe@John:16:23 @ When that time comes, you will not ask me for anything. I tell you the truth. My Father will do for you anything you ask in my name.

bwe@John:16:24 @...give it to you. That is...

bwe@John:16:26 @ When that day comes, you will ask in my name. I do not say that I will ask my Father for 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:16:30 @ We know now that you know everything. No one needs to ask you questions. This makes us believe that God sent you.

bwe@John:16:33 @ I have told you these things so that you may have peace. I give you peace. The world will trouble you much. But be glad. I have power over the world.

bwe@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had said these things, he looked up to heaven and said, Father, the time has come now. Make your Sons name great, so that your Son may make your name great.

bwe@John:17:7 @ Now they really know that everything you gave me comes from you.

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:17:12 @...of them is lost. That is...

bwe@John:17:13 @ Now I am coming to you. I say these things while I am in the world so that they may be very glad, as I am.

bwe@John:17:15 @ I do not ask you to take them out of the world. But I ask you to take care of them, so that the evil one of this world will not harm them.

bwe@John:17:19 @ I have made myself clean and kept myself for them, so that they may be clean and be kept for you also by the truth.

bwe@John:17:21 @...will all be one. That is...

bwe@John:17:22 @...have made me great. That makes...

bwe@John:17:23 @ I belong to them and you belong to me, so that they all may be really one together. Then the world will know that you have sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

bwe@John:17:24 @ Father, I want the people that you have given me to be with me. Then they will see that you made me great, because you loved me before you made the world.

bwe@John:17:25 @ Father, you are the one who is right. The world has not known you. But I have known you. These people know that you have sent me.

bwe@John:18:4 @ Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. So he went out and said to them, Who are you looking for?

bwe@John:18:8 @ Then Jesus answered, I have already told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go.

bwe@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, Put your sword back in its place. Must I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?

bwe@John:18:13 @ First they took him to Annas. He was the father of Caiaphas wife. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.

bwe@John:18:14 @ This was the same Caiaphas that had talked to the leaders of the Jews. He had said, It is better for one man to die for the people.

bwe@John:18:20 @...and in the temple. That is...

bwe@John:18:22 @ When he had said this, one of the officers who stood there hit Jesus. He said, Is that the way you answer the high priest?

bwe@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered him, I am not a king in this world. If I were, my people would fight so that I would not be given to the Jews. But I am not a king in this world.

bwe@John:18:37 @...tell what is true. That is...

bwe@John:19:4 @ Then Pilate went out to the people again and said to them, See, I bring the man before you. This is to show you that I find nothing wrong in him.

bwe@John:19:7 @...We have a law. That law...

bwe@John:19:10 @ Then Pilate said, Do you not answer me? Do you not know that I have power to nail you to a cross, or to let you go free?

bwe@John:19:12 @ After that Pilate tried to let Jesus go free. But the Jews shouted, If you let this man free, you are not Caesars friend! Anyone who makes himself a king is fighting against Caesar!

bwe@John:19:17 @...the Jews called Golgotha. That means...

bwe@John:19:24 @...gambled for my coat. That is...

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:19:28 @ Jesus now knew that everything had happened that the holy writings said. He said, I am thirsty.

bwe@John:19:33 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.

bwe@John:19:35 @ The man who saw it told what he saw, so that you may believe. What he said is true and he knows that it is true.

bwe@John:19:40 @...in with the cloth. That is...

bwe@John:20:1 @ Mary Magdalene came to the grave on the first day of the week. It was early in the morning and not very light. She saw that the stone had been taken away from the grave.

bwe@John:20:3 @ Then Peter and that other disciple also went to the grave.

bwe@John:20:7 @ He also saw the small cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus head. It was not with the other cloths, but it was folded together by itself in another place.

bwe@John:20:14 @ When she had said this, she turned around. She saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

bwe@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, Do not hold me, because I have not yet gone up to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father. He is your Father also. I am going up to my God. He is your God also.

bwe@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, You yourself have seen me. Is that why you now believe? God will bless people who believe though they have not seen me.

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@John:21:3 @...a boat right away. That night...

bwe@John:21:6 @ He said to them, Throw out your net on the right side of the boat, then you will catch some. They threw out their net and caught many fish, so that they were not able to bring in the net.

bwe@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! As soon as Simon Peter heard it was the Lord, he put on his coat and his belt. He had taken off some clothes to work. Then he jumped into the water.

bwe@John:21:14 @ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from death.

bwe@John:21:15 @ After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said, Yes, Lord. You know that I like you. I am your friend. Jesus said to him, Feed my lambs.

bwe@John:21:16 @ He asked him the second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter said, Yes, Lord. You know that I like you. I am your friend. Jesus said to him, Take care of my sheep.

bwe@John:21:17 @ Then he asked Peter the third time, Simon son of John, do you like me? Peter was sad because of the way Jesus asked him the third time. So he answered him, Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you as a close friend Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.

bwe@John:21:22 @ Jesus said to him, If I want him to wait till I come, what is that to you? I want you to come and follow me.

bwe@John:21:23 @ So the report went around among the brothers that that disciple would not die. Jesus had not said to him, You will not die. But he had said, If I want him to wait till I come, what is that to you?

bwe@John:21:25 @ Jesus did many other things also. If every one were written down, I think that the world would be too small to hold all the books that would need to be written. Yes, it is so!

bwe@Acts:1:3 @ In many ways he proved to them that he was living again after his terrible death. For forty days they often saw him. Then he told them things about Gods kingdom.

bwe@Acts:1:4 @ One day when he was eating with them, he told them not to leave Jerusalem. He said, Wait here for what the Father promised you. I have told you about that promise already.

bwe@Acts:1:11 @ They said, You men from Galilee, why do you stand there looking at the sky? Jesus has gone up into heaven. In the same way that you saw him go up, he will come again.

bwe@Acts:1:21 @ Here are men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus was with us.

bwe@Acts:1:22 @ They were with us from the time John baptised people until the day Jesus was taken up from us. One of these men must help us tell people that Jesus was raised from death.

bwe@Acts:2:8 @ How is it then that each one of us hears the language of our own country?

bwe@Acts:2:15 @...these men are drunk. That is...

bwe@Acts:2:16 @ The thing that has happened is what the prophet Joel told about.

bwe@Acts:2:20 @ The sun will be dark and the moon will be like blood. These things will happen before the day of the Lord comes. It will be a great day that will be remembered always.

bwe@Acts:2:22 @ You men of Israel, listen to this. God showed you that he was pleased with this man, Jesus of Nazareth. He proved it by the big works and the wonderful signs which he did by Jesus right here among you people. And you yourselves know it.

bwe@Acts:2:25 @ King David spoke about Jesus long ago. He said, "I saw the Lord before me always. He is at my right hand so that I may not be shaken.

bwe@Acts:2:26 @ That made my heart very happy. It made my tongue sing for joy. And even my body also will rest in peace because you will not leave my body in the grave. You will not let your Holy One die and be spoiled.

bwe@Acts:2:30 @...his chair to rule. That one...

bwe@Acts:2:31 @ David knew what would happen. So he said that Christ would be raised from death. Christ was not left in the grave. His body was not spoiled. David said all this before it ever happened.

bwe@Acts:2:32 @ And now we all saw it. We are telling people that God raised this Jesus back to life.

bwe@Acts:2:41 @...and believed were baptised. That same...

bwe@Acts:3:10 @ And they knew that this was the man who sat begging at the temple gate which was called Beautiful. They were very much surprised at what had happened to him. They could hardly believe it.

bwe@Acts:3:12 @ When Peter saw this, he talked to the people. He said, Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Do you think that we have power or are good enough to make this man walk? Why do you look at us that way?

bwe@Acts:3:16 @ This man whom you see and know, believed in the name of Jesus Christ. This mans faith in that name has healed him. Yes, believing in Jesus Christ has made him well here in front of you all.

bwe@Acts:3:17 @ My brothers, I know that you and your rulers killed Jesus because you did not understand what you were doing.

bwe@Acts:3:18 @ But in this way God did what he had told us would happen. Through all the prophets he had told us that Christ would suffer.

bwe@Acts:3:22 @ Moses himself said, "The Lord God will raise up for you a Prophet like me. He will be one of your brothers. You must listen to everything that the Prophet says to you.

bwe@Acts:3:23 @ And everyone who does not obey that Prophet will be cut off from his people altogether."

bwe@Acts:3:24 @ Prophets spoke at the time of Samuel, and prophets spoke after that time. They all have told about these days also.

bwe@Acts:4:2 @ They were angry at Peter and John because they taught the people. They were angry because they told them that Jesus was brought back from death.

bwe@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and leaders of Israel, have you brought us to court today because of the good thing that was done to the lame man? Do you want to find out how he was healed?

bwe@Acts:4:13 @ They saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak out. They knew that they were like any other men. They did not have much training. So the people were very much surprised. They knew that Peter and John had been with Jesus.

bwe@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, How does God look at it? Is it right for us to obey you or to obey him? You judge that for yourselves.

bwe@Acts:4:23 @ When they were free, Peter and John went back to their own friends. They told them all that the chief priests and leaders had said to them.

bwe@Acts:4:24 @ When they heard it, they talked to God together. They said, Lord, you are God. You made the sky, and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

bwe@Acts:4:27 @ It is true that Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with Jews and those who were not Jews here in this city. They met to make secret plans against your holy Son Jesus, whom you made Christ.

bwe@Acts:4:36 @...apostles called him Barnabas. That means...

bwe@Acts:5:8 @ Peter asked her, Tell me, did you sell the field for so much money? and she answered, Yes, that is how much it was.

bwe@Acts:5:10 @ And she fell down at Peters feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

bwe@Acts:5:15 @ They brought sick people out into the streets and laid them on beds and mats. They hoped that at least Peters shadow would touch them as he passed by.

bwe@Acts:5:19 @ But that night the angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out.

bwe@Acts:5:27 @ So they brought them in and put them before the court. The high priest asked them, Did we not tell you that you must never teach again in this name? But here you are, teaching people all over Jerusalem in this name. You are trying to put on us the blame for this mans death.

bwe@Acts:5:31 @ God has made him great at his right side. He has made him leader and Saviour. He has done this so that the people of Israel may stop doing wrong things and be forgiven.

bwe@Acts:5:34 @ Then a lawyer named Gamaliel stood up in the court. He was a Pharisee and all the people respected him. He asked that the apostles be taken out for a while.

bwe@Acts:5:36 @ Before this time, there was a man named Theudas. He tried to make people believe that he was a great man. He had about four hundred followers. He was killed, and all of his followers were scattered, and the whole thing ended.

bwe@Acts:5:41 @ The apostles left the court. They were very glad to think that God let them be punished for the name of Jesus.

bwe@Acts:6:1 @ At that time more and more people joined the disciples. Then there was trouble about a certain matter. The Jews who spoke the Greek language complained against the other Jews. They said that each day when the food was being divided, their women whose husbands were dead did not get their part.

bwe@Acts:6:14 @ We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will break down this place and that he will change the law which Moses gave us.

bwe@Acts:6:15 @ Then all the judges who sat in the court looked at him and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

bwe@Acts:7:3 @ God said, "Leave your country and your family and come to the country that I will show you."

bwe@Acts:7:5 @ But God did not give any of the land to Abraham, not even a small part. But he promised that the land would belong to him. After him it would belong to his children, even though he did not have a child then.

bwe@Acts:7:6 @ This is what God told Abraham. He told him that his children would travel and live in another land. They would be slaves to the people there. They would have a hard time for four hundred years.

bwe@Acts:7:7 @ And God said, "I will judge the people who make them slaves. After that, they will come out of that land and serve me here."

bwe@Acts:7:12 @ Then Jacob heard that there was food in Egypt. He sent his sons on their first trip to buy some. They were our fathers of long ago.

bwe@Acts:7:20 @ Moses was born during that time. He was a very fine baby. For three months he was raised in his own fathers home.

bwe@Acts:7:25 @ He thought his people would know that God wanted him to make them free. But they did not understand.

bwe@Acts:7:41 @ They made a young cow at that time and gave sacrifices to this god which was not the true God. They were very happy. What they had made pleased them.

bwe@Acts:7:45 @ Our fathers brought that tent with them when they came to this country. Joshua was their leader. God put aside the people who lived here first. Our fathers kept that tent with them until the time of David.

bwe@Acts:7:48 @ But even so, God is above all. He does not live in houses that people make with their hands. The prophet says,

bwe@Acts:7:52 @ What did your fathers do to the prophets of God? They made a lot of trouble for every one of them. They killed the ones who told that the Right and True One would come. He is the One you gave up to be killed. You are the killers.

bwe@Acts:8:1 @ Saul agreed to Stephen being killed. At that time the church people at Jerusalem had much trouble. The church people all went into Judea and Samaria. Only the apostles stayed on at Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:8:9 @ But there was one man named Simon, a witch-doctor, who fooled the people of Samaria. He tried to make people believe that he could do big things.

bwe@Acts:8:11 @...work as a witch. That is...

bwe@Acts:8:14 @ Then the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria believed Gods word. So they sent Peter and John to them.

bwe@Acts:8:16 @ Until that time, none of the people there had received the Holy Spirit. They had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:8:18 @ Simon saw that the people received the Holy Spirit when the apostles put their hands on them. Then he brought money to the apostles.

bwe@Acts:8:19 @ He said, Give me this power, too, so that anyone on whom I put my hands will receive the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:8:20 @ Peter said, May you and your money be destroyed! You thought that you could buy the gift of God with money.

bwe@Acts:8:21 @ You have no part in this matter. You cannot have any of this because God sees that your heart is not right.

bwe@Acts:8:23 @ I see that you are very bitter. Your wrong ways control you all together.

bwe@Acts:8:24 @ Simon said, Ask the Lord for me, so that none of the things you have talked about will happen to me.

bwe@Acts:8:26 @ The angel of the Lord spoke to Philip. Get up, said the angel. Go south to the road that goes from Jerusalem to Gaza. It is desert there.

bwe@Acts:8:29 @ The Spirit of the Lord said to Stephen, Go over to that man in the carriage.

bwe@Acts:8:37 @ Philip answered, If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptised. The man said, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

bwe@Acts:9:12 @ In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming to him. He has seen him put his hands on him so that he may see again.

bwe@Acts:9:17 @ Then Ananias went. He went into the house and put his hands on Saul. He said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus came to you on the road while you were coming here. He has sent me to you so that you may see again, and that you may be filled with the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:9:20 @ Right away he went to the Jewish meeting places and told the people that Jesus is the Son of God.

bwe@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul became stronger and stronger. He proved that Jesus is the Christ and made it so plain that the Jews at Damascus did not know what to say.

bwe@Acts:9:24 @ But he found out that they were waiting for him. The Jewish leaders watched the gates of the city night and day. They were waiting for a chance to kill him.

bwe@Acts:9:26 @ When Saul came to Jerusalem, he wanted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe that he was a disciple.

bwe@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them, Saul has seen the Lord on the road. The Lord has talked to him. After that he told Gods word in the name of Jesus, without fear at Damascus.

bwe@Acts:9:36 @...Her name was Tabitha. That means...

bwe@Acts:9:38 @ Lydda was near Joppa. When the disciples heard that Peter was at Lydda, they sent two men and asked for him to come quickly.

bwe@Acts:9:39 @ Peter got up and went with them. When he got there, they took him to the room upstairs. Women whose husbands were dead stood there crying. They showed Peter the clothes and coats that Dorcas had made for them while she was with them.

bwe@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, No, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is not holy or not clean.

bwe@Acts:10:28 @ He began to talk with them. He said, You yourselves know it is against our law for a Jew to visit and be friends with someone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

bwe@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent for you right away. You have done well to come. Now we are all here before God to hear all that the Lord has told you to tell me.

bwe@Acts:10:42 @ He told us to tell the people that God chose him to judge both the living people and the dead people.

bwe@Acts:10:45 @ The believers who came with Peter were Jews. They were very much surprised that the Holy Spirit was also sent to those who were not Jews. 46,

bwe@Acts:11:1 @ The apostles and other Christian brothers were in Judea. They heard that some people who were not Jews had also believed Gods message.

bwe@Acts:11:4 @ Peter explained to them all that had happened from the beginning.

bwe@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, "No, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is not holy or clean."

bwe@Acts:11:13 @ He told us that he had seen Gods angel standing in his house. The angel said to him, "Send men to Joppa to call Simon whose other name is Peter.

bwe@Acts:11:16 @ Then I remembered that the Lord said, "John baptised with water, but you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit."

bwe@Acts:11:27 @ At that time, prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

bwe@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus stood up. He told them the Spirit had shown him that much trouble would come to all the world. There would not be much food for the people. (This trouble came when Claudius Caesar was ruler.)

bwe@Acts:12:1 @ At that time Herod the king caught some of the church people and troubled them.

bwe@Acts:12:3 @ He saw that this pleased the leaders of the Jews, so he caught Peter also. This happened at the Jewish feast which they had each year to remember leaving Egypt. (It was called the Passover Feast.)

bwe@Acts:12:9 @ Peter followed him out. He did not know that what the angel had done was true. He thought he was dreaming.

bwe@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel. He has saved me from Herod and from all that the Jewish leaders are hoping will happen to me.

bwe@Acts:12:14 @ When she knew it was Peters voice, she was very glad. She did not open the door. But she ran in and told the people that Peter was at the door.

bwe@Acts:12:15 @ They said, You are crazy. But she kept on saying that Peter was really there. Then they said, It must be his angel.

bwe@Acts:13:10 @ You son of the devil! he said. You do nothing but tell lies and make much trouble. You hate everything that is right. The Lords way is right. Will you not stop spoiling his way?

bwe@Acts:13:15 @ First, someone read from the books of the law and the prophets. Then the rulers of the meeting house called Paul and Barnabas and said, Men and brothers, have you something to say that will help us? Please say it.

bwe@Acts:13:22 @ Then God took him away. He made David king over them. This is what God said about him, "David, Jesses son, is the kind of man I love. He will do all that I want him to do."

bwe@Acts:13:28 @ They could not prove that he did anything wrong for which he should die. Yet they begged Pilate to kill him.

bwe@Acts:13:29 @ They did all the things that the prophets had written about him. Then they took him down from the cross made from a tree. They laid him in a grave cut from the rock.

bwe@Acts:13:38 @ Men and brothers, understand this. It is because of this Jesus that we tell you your wrong ways will be forgiven you.

bwe@Acts:13:40 @ Be careful then, so that what the prophets said will not happen to you.

bwe@Acts:13:41 @ They said, "Look, you people who despise everything. You will look in wonder before you die. I will do something in your time. I will do something that you will not believe even if someone told you what it is."

bwe@Acts:13:43 @ The meeting was finished. There were many Jews, also those who were not Jews but worshipped God. They followed Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabus kept talking to the people and told them to keep on living in the way that will bring Gods blessing.

bwe@Acts:13:44 @ The next Sabbath day almost all of the people in that city gathered to hear Gods word.

bwe@Acts:13:45 @ The leaders of the Jews saw that many people came. They were very jealous. They talked back to Paul and said he was not telling the truth. They also said wrong things about him.

bwe@Acts:13:46 @ But Paul and Barnabas did not fear the Jewish leaders. They said, We had to tell Gods word to you first but you will not listen to it. By that you are saying you Jews are not good enough to live for ever. So we will go to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:13:47 @ That is what the Lord told us to do. He said, "I have made you to be a light to the people who are not Jews. You will tell people everywhere in the world how to be saved."

bwe@Acts:13:49 @ The word of the Lord was told through all that part of the country.

bwe@Acts:13:50 @ But the leaders of the Jews talked to the leading women who worshipped God and to the chief men of Antioch. They made plenty of trouble for Paul and Barnabas. They made them leave that part of the country.

bwe@Acts:14:2 @ But the Jews who did not believe said wrong things about them. They spoiled the minds of those who were not Jews so that they hated the Christians.

bwe@Acts:14:3 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time anyway. They did not fear to talk about the Lord. The Lord proved that the message about his blessing was true. He worked through Paul and Barnabas. They did signs and wonderful things.

bwe@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speak. Paul looked at the man. He saw that the man believed he would be healed.

bwe@Acts:14:15 @ They said, Why are you people doing this? We are only men like you. You should leave these gods which cannot help you. You should turn to the living God. He made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

bwe@Acts:14:16 @ In the time that is past, God allowed all people to do what they wanted to do.

bwe@Acts:14:17 @ But even then he had some ways to make himself known. He did things that were good. He gave us rain from the sky and good harvests. And he gives you all the food you need and makes you very happy. Surely these things speak for him.

bwe@Acts:14:26 @ From there they went in a boat to Antioch. It was there that the people had given them over to Gods care. They had asked him to bless them in this work. Now they had finished the work.

bwe@Acts:14:27 @ When they reached the city, they called all the church people together. They told them all that God had done for them. They said, Now God has opened the way to believe for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:2 @ Paul and Barnabas did not agree with them. There was much talking about it. Then they decided that Paul and Barnabas and some of the other men should go to Jerusalem. They would ask the apostles and church leaders there about it.

bwe@Acts:15:3 @ So the church people sent them on their way. They passed through the districts of Phoenicia and Samaria. They told them that some who were not Jews were believing in God. This news made all the Christian brothers very happy.

bwe@Acts:15:4 @ When they reached Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church people, the apostles, and the church leaders. They told all that God had done as he worked with them.

bwe@Acts:15:8 @ God knows what is in a persons heart. He proved that they believed. He gave them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.

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:15:12 @ Then all the people stopped talking. They listened to what Paul and Barnabas had to say. They told them about all the signs and wonderful things that God had helped them to do among the people who were not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:20 @ We should write them a letter and tell them what they must not do. They must not eat food that has been given to idols. They must not have sex with someone who is not their husband or wife. They must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. They must not taste blood.

bwe@Acts:15:24 @ We have heard that some of our people visited you and talked to you. They taught things that troubled you and made you believe wrong things. They said, "You must be circumcised like the Jews and keep the law." We did not tell them to teach you this.

bwe@Acts:15:27 @ We are sending Judas and Silas. They will tell you the same things that we have written in the letter.

bwe@Acts:15:29 @ You must not eat food that has been given to idols. You must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. You must not taste blood. You must not commit adultery. If you keep away from these things, you will do well. Goodbye.

bwe@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not think that they should take him. John Mark had left them when they were at Pamphylia. He had not gone along with them to do the work.

bwe@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted him to go with him. He circumcised him because all the Jews in those places knew that his father was a Greek.

bwe@Acts:16:10 @ After Paul had seen the vision, we tried to leave for Macedonia right away. We believed that the Lord had called us to tell the people there the good news.

bwe@Acts:16:15 @ She and all the people in her house were baptised. Then she begged us and said, If you really feel that I believe in the Lord, come and stay at my house. And she would not allow us to say no.

bwe@Acts:16:19 @ Her masters saw that they had lost this way of getting money. They caught Paul and Silas and took them by force to the rulers in the court.

bwe@Acts:16:22 @ All the people standing around were against Paul and Silas. The judges tore off the clothes of Paul and Silas. They gave orders that they should be beaten.

bwe@Acts:16:23 @ They beat them very hard. Then they put them in prison. Take care, they said to the prison guard. Be sure that these prisoners do not run away.

bwe@Acts:16:26 @ Then all of a sudden the earth shook very much. Even the floor of the prison was shaking. All the doors came wide open. The things that held the prisoners all came off.

bwe@Acts:16:27 @ The prison guard woke up. He saw all the prison doors open. So he took a long knife and was going to kill himself. He thought that all the prisoners had run away.

bwe@Acts:16:33 @ Paul and Silas had sores from the beating in prison. So that same hour of the night the guard washed them. Then he and all the people of his house were baptised.

bwe@Acts:16:36 @ The guard told Paul. He said, The judges have sent a message that you may go free. So now, come out and go on your way. You will have no more trouble.

bwe@Acts:16:38 @ The soldiers told this to the judges. They were very much afraid when they heard that Paul and Silas were Romans.

bwe@Acts:17:10 @ That night the Christian brothers sent Paul and Silas to the town of Berea. When they reached there, they went into the Jews meeting place.

bwe@Acts:17:13 @ The leaders of the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul told the word of God to the people at Berea. They came to Berea and talked to the people. They said things that made the people very angry against Paul.

bwe@Acts:17:16 @ Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy at Athens. He saw that the city was full of idols. His spirit was troubled about this.

bwe@Acts:17:19 @ So they took Paul and brought him to a meeting at the hill called Areopagus. They said, We want to know what this new teaching is that you are talking about.

bwe@Acts:17:22 @ Then Paul stood up in the court and said, You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious and worship many gods.

bwe@Acts:17:23 @ As I walked about, I looked at the things you worship. I saw one place where you make sacrifices. You have written on it, "To the God we do not know." You are worshipping that God, but you do not know him. I will tell you about him.

bwe@Acts:17:24 @ He made the world and everything in it. He is the Lord of the sky and the earth. He does not live in houses that people make with their hands.

bwe@Acts:17:26 @ God made one man. From that one man he has made all the nations of men to live on the whole earth. He has given to each nation a certain time and a certain place to live.

bwe@Acts:17:29 @ Therefore we have all come from God. So we should not think that God is something made of gold, or silver, or stone. He is not made by mens hands.

bwe@Acts:17:32 @ When the people of Athens heard that someone had been raised from death, some of them laughed. Others said, We want to hear you talk about this matter again some time.

bwe@Acts:18:3 @ Pauls work had been the making of tents, and that is what they did. So he stayed with them. They worked together.

bwe@Acts:18:4 @ Every Sabbath day he talked with the people in the meeting place for the Jews. He tried to talk so that the Jews and the Greeks would believe.

bwe@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul felt in his heart that he must prove to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

bwe@Acts:18:13 @ They said, This man is talking to the people. He is trying to make them worship God in a way that is against our law.

bwe@Acts:18:26 @ He began to speak without fear in the meeting place. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house. They explained the way of God so that he knew more about it.

bwe@Acts:18:28 @ He talked strongly with the Jews before the people. He proved to them from the holy writings that Jesus is the Christ.

bwe@Acts:19:2 @ Paul asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They said, No. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

bwe@Acts:19:4 @...who would follow him. That one...

bwe@Acts:19:8 @ Paul went into the meeting place. For three months he talked without fear to the people there. He tried to talk so that people would obey God.

bwe@Acts:19:23 @ About that time there was much trouble because of the Christian way.

bwe@Acts:19:25 @ Demetrius called them all together. He said, Men, you know that we get our money from this work.

bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.

bwe@Acts:19:34 @ But when they saw that he was a Jew, they all shouted together for two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus!

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:20:2 @ He went through that country and talked to the people. He helped them to believe more strongly. Then he went to Greece.

bwe@Acts:20:3 @ He stayed there for three months. When he was ready to go to Syria by boat, he heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him. So he said, I will go back through Macedonia.

bwe@Acts:20:13 @ We went by boat to the town of Assos. We were going to meet Paul there and take him on the boat. He told us to do that because he wanted to walk.

bwe@Acts:20:18 @ When they came, he said, You know how I have lived all the time that I have been with you. I lived that way from the first day I came into Asia.

bwe@Acts:20:20 @ I have not feared to tell you everything that would help you. I have taught you in meetings and in your homes.

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:20:24 @ But none of these things trouble me. I do not try to save my life. All I want is to finish what I must do with joy. The work which the Lord Jesus gave me is to tell the good news that God is kind.

bwe@Acts:20:25 @ I know that you all will never see me again. I have told you about Gods kingdom.

bwe@Acts:20:26 @ So I tell you today that if any one is lost, it is not my fault.

bwe@Acts:20:27 @ I have not feared to tell you all that God wants you to know.

bwe@Acts:20:29 @ I know this, that there are people as bad as wild animals. After I leave you, they will come to you. They will trouble Gods people.

bwe@Acts:20:30 @ Also, some men will come from among you. They will teach things that are not true. They want people to follow them.

bwe@Acts:20:32 @...word which brings blessing. That word...

bwe@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that I worked with my own hands to pay for the things that I and my friends needed.

bwe@Acts:20:35 @ I have always shown you that you must work hard, as I have. You must help those who cannot work. By so doing you are remembering the words of the Lord Jesus. He said, "It makes you more happy to give something than to get something."

bwe@Acts:21:11 @ When he came to us, he took Pauls belt. He tied his own hands and feet with it. Then he said, The Holy Spirit has told me that in the same way the leaders of the Jews in Jerusalem will tie the man who owns this belt. They will give him over to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:21:14 @ So when we saw that he would not change his mind, we stopped begging him. We said, May the Lord do what he wants to be done.

bwe@Acts:21:21 @ They have heard that you teach all the Jews who live in other lands. They heard that you tell them not to obey Moses law: that they need not circumcise their children like the Jews do; and they can leave the Jewish ways of living.

bwe@Acts:21:22 @ What should we do about it? Many people will gather together because they will surely hear that you have come.

bwe@Acts:21:24 @ Take them with you. Make yourself clean with them, the way the law says to do. Pay the cost for having their hair cut. Then all the people will know that all the things they heard about you are not true. They will know that you live the way the law says you should live.

bwe@Acts:21:25 @ We sent a letter to those who are not Jews and have believed. Here is what we told them they must not do. They must not touch things that have been given to idols. They must not taste blood. They must not eat the meat of animals that were killed by choking. And they must not take part in any kind of wrong sexual behaviour between men and women.

bwe@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men with him. The next day he made himself clean with them the way the law says to do. Then he went into the temple. He told the priests which day they would finish making themselves clean. On that day a sacrifice would be made for each one of them.

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:21:31 @ They were trying to kill him. The officer in charge of the soldiers heard that all the people of Jerusalem were making trouble.

bwe@Acts:22:5 @ The high priest and all the leaders know that this is true about me. They wrote letters for me to carry to the leaders of the Jews in the city of Damascus. I went to have the Christians there tied and brought to Jerusalem to be punished.

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:22:22 @ The people listened to Paul until he said that. Then they shouted, Kill him and get him off the earth. A man like that should not live!

bwe@Acts:22:24 @ The man in charge of the soldiers ordered Paul to be brought into the army house. He said that he should be beaten hard to make him tell why the people shouted so much at him.

bwe@Acts:23:4 @ The people who stood near Paul said, Do you say a wrong thing like that to Gods high priest?

bwe@Acts:23:5 @ Paul said, I did not know that he is a high priest. The holy writings say, "You shall not say anything wrong about a ruler of your people."

bwe@Acts:23:6 @ Paul knew that some of the men were from the Sadducee group and some of them were from the Pharisee group. So he called out in the court, My brothers, I am a Pharisee. My fathers were Pharisees. I am being judged because I believe that the dead will be raised to life again.

bwe@Acts:23:12 @ In the morning, some of the Jewish leaders planned together. They made a promise that they would not eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

bwe@Acts:23:20 @ The young man said, The leaders of the Jews have made a plan. They will ask you to bring Paul down to court tomorrow. They will say that they wish to find out more about him.

bwe@Acts:23:22 @ So the commanding officer sent the young man away. He said, You must not tell anyone that you have told me about these things.

bwe@Acts:23:27 @ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.

bwe@Acts:23:29 @ I found out that their complaints were to do with their law. But he had not done anything wrong enough to die or to be put into prison.

bwe@Acts:23:30 @ When I heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him, I sent him to you at once. I told those who are making complaints against him that they must bring the matter to you.

bwe@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers took Paul as they had been told to do. They went with him that night as far as the town of Antipatris.

bwe@Acts:23:34 @ He read the letter. Then he asked Paul what country he came from. He heard that Paul was from Cilicia. Then he said, I will hear all you have to say when the men who have made the complaint come here. He ordered Paul to be kept in the house which is called Herods palace.

bwe@Acts:24:10 @ The ruler made a sign for Paul to speak. So Paul said, I know that for many years you have judged matters for this people.

bwe@Acts:24:14 @ But I myself tell you this. I worship the God of my fathers in the Christian way. They say this is not the right way. I believe everything that the law teaches. I believe everything that the prophets have written.

bwe@Acts:24:15 @ I believe that God will raise from death both the good people and the bad people. These people here believe the same thing.

bwe@Acts:24:21 @ I did this one thing. I shouted while I was standing among them, "I am being judged today because I believe that the dead will be raised again."

bwe@Acts:24:26 @ He hoped that Paul would give him money to free him. And so he often sent for Paul and talked with him.

bwe@Acts:25:7 @ When Paul came in, the Jewish leaders who had come from Jerusalem stood around Paul. They talked much against him. But they could not prove that the things they said were true.

bwe@Acts:25:10 @...standing in Caesars court. That is...

bwe@Acts:25:16 @ I told them that the Romans do not do it that way. They do not punish a man until he has met those who talk against him. Then he has a chance to speak for himself.

bwe@Acts:25:18 @ When they stood up, they did not say the wrong things against him that I thought they would.

bwe@Acts:25:25 @ But I found out that he had not done anything wrong for which he should die. He himself asked to go to Caesar, so I decided to send him.

bwe@Acts:25:27 @ I think that it does not make sense to send a prisoner and not say what wrong he has done.

bwe@Acts:26:5 @ They have known me for a long time. They know, if they would tell it, that I lived like the Pharisee group. They obey the law better than any others who worship God the way we do.

bwe@Acts:26:6 @...our fathers long ago. That is...

bwe@Acts:26:8 @ Why is it so hard for any of you to believe that God should raise the dead?

bwe@Acts:26:9 @ I used to think that I must do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Acts:26:20 @ I told the good news to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem. Then I told it all over Judea. I went to those who are not Jews. I told everyone that they must stop doing wrong things and turn to God. I told them they must show by the way they live that they have stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@Acts:26:21 @ That is why the leaders of the Jews caught me in the temple and tried to kill me.

bwe@Acts:26:26 @ The king knows about these things. I am not afraid to talk to him about them. I am sure that not one of these things happened without his knowing about it. This did not happen in secret.

bwe@Acts:26:29 @...what I am. That is,...

bwe@Acts:27:1 @ It was planned that we would go by boat to Italy. An officer named Julius was put in charge of Paul and some other prisoners. Julius was an army captain in the Augustan group.

bwe@Acts:27:6 @ There the officer found a boat from the city of Alexandria going to the country of Italy. So he put us on that boat.

bwe@Acts:27:9 @ It was now so late in the year that it was a bad time to go by boat. So Paul spoke to them about it.

bwe@Acts:27:10 @ He said, Sirs, I see that if we go on by boat, we will have much trouble. Something bad will happen to the things on the boat and to the boat itself, and also to us.

bwe@Acts:27:17 @ However, at last they got it up. Then they put ropes around the boat to make it strong. They were also afraid they would get stuck in a bad place in the sand. So they took down the big sail cloth that was up to catch the wind. Then they let the boat go where the wind took it.

bwe@Acts:27:18 @ The next day the storm was very bad. They threw out the things that were in the boat.

bwe@Acts:27:20 @ For many days we could not see the sun or the stars. The bad storm kept on. We did not think that we would be saved.

bwe@Acts:27:27 @ On the fourteenth night we were being blown across the Adrian Sea. About midnight the boatmen thought that we must be near some land.

bwe@Acts:27:28 @ So they tested how deep the water was there. They found that the line went down twenty arm lengths. A little later they tested and found that it was only fifteen arm lengths deep.

bwe@Acts:27:29 @ Then they were afraid that we would hit the rocks. There were four heavy iron hooks called anchors. They let them down into the water at the back end of the boat. Then they wished that morning would come.

bwe@Acts:27:33 @ When it was almost morning, Paul begged them all to eat. He said, Today is the fourteenth day that you have been watching and have not eaten anything.

bwe@Acts:27:38 @ They ate all they wanted. Then they threw the grain into the water, so that the boat would not be so heavy.

bwe@Acts:27:40 @ They cut off the anchors and left them in the water. At the same time, they untied the wood that guided the boat. They put up the big sail to catch the wind and tried to get the boat onto that sandy place.

bwe@Acts:27:41 @ But they came to a place where there was sand under the water. The boat stuck in it. The front end stuck so badly that they could not make it go. The back end began to break up because the water beat it so hard.

bwe@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners so that none of them would swim to land and run away.

bwe@Acts:28:1 @ When we were safe on land, we found that the island we were on was called Malta.

bwe@Acts:28:6 @ The people thought surely he would swell up or would drop down dead at once. They waited a long time and saw that nothing bad happened to him. Then they said, We were wrong. He must be a god.

bwe@Acts:28:10 @ They gave us many things. When we went away, they put on the boat for us the things that we would need.

bwe@Acts:28:11 @ A boat from the town of Alexandria was at the island all through the winter time. It was marked with a sign of the Twin Brothers. After we had been on the island for three months, we went on that boat.

bwe@Acts:28:13 @ After that we turned the boat along the coast. We reached the town of Rhegium. When we had been there for a day, a south wind began to blow. On the second day we came to the city of Puteoli.

bwe@Acts:28:22 @ But we want to hear from you what you think. We know that people everywhere are talking against this Christian group.

bwe@Acts:28:23 @ So they chose a certain day. On that day many of them came to the house where Paul was staying. He told them about Gods kingdom. He tried to make them understand about Jesus by the things that were written in the law of Moses and in the books of the prophets. He talked from morning until evening.

bwe@Acts:28:28 @ Paul said, Therefore know this. The message that God will save them has been sent to those who were not Jews. They will listen to it.

bwe@Romans:1:4 @...came alive from death. That showed...

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:1:8 @ People in all the world have heard that you believe. I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you.

bwe@Romans:1:9 @ God knows that I always talk to him about you. I worship him in my heart while I tell the good news about his Son.

bwe@Romans:1:10 @ I ask God that in some way now I may be able to visit you, if he wishes me to do it.

bwe@Romans:1:12 @ I mean to say that we will both be helped. I will be helped because you believe, and you will be helped because I believe.

bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.

bwe@Romans:1:15 @ That is why I want so much to tell the good news to you people in the city of Rome also.

bwe@Romans:1:17 @ The good news shows how God puts a person right. God puts a person right when that person believes in his Son and keeps on believing. The holy writings say, A person who is put right because he believes, will live for ever.

bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.

bwe@Romans:1:24 @ So God left them to do the things their hearts wanted to do. They did the things that are not right to do with their bodies. They did not respect their own bodies.

bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God left them to do the wrong things they wanted to do. Their women left the right way for women and did things that are wrong for women to do.

bwe@Romans:1:28 @ They did not want to know God. So he left them to their wrong thoughts and to do things that are not right.

bwe@Romans:1:32 @ They know that God says that people who do such things should die. Even so, they not only do them, but they praise other people who do them.

bwe@Romans:2:2 @ We know that God judges people who do such things. And he judges them by what is true.

bwe@Romans:2:3 @ Man, you judge people who do such things and yet you do them yourself. Do you think that God will not judge you?

bwe@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you not respect him for being kind, very patient, and for waiting a long time? Do you not know that God is kind, and he wants to lead you away from doing wrong things?

bwe@Romans:2:5 @...You will not stop. That is...

bwe@Romans:2:15 @ They show that the law is written in their hearts. They know what is right to do and what is wrong to do. Their own thoughts tell them they have done what is wrong or what is not wrong.)

bwe@Romans:2:16 @...will be the judge. That is...

bwe@Romans:2:18 @ You know what he wants people to do. You know the thoughts that are good because you have been taught the law.

bwe@Romans:2:19 @ You are sure that you can lead people who are like blind men. You are like a light for people who are in the dark.

bwe@Romans:2:20 @ You are sure that you can tell foolish people what is right. You can teach people who are like children. You know what you need to know and you know what is true because you have the law.

bwe@Romans:2:23 @ You are proud that you have the law. Do you break the law, and in that way show you do not honour God?

bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.

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:3:1 @ Then what does a Jew have that others do not have? Or what good is it if a person has been circumcised?

bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?

bwe@Romans:3:4 @ No, it does not mean that. God must be true, even if every man is not true. The holy writings say this about God: People will see that you are right in what you say. You will be without fault when you are judged.

bwe@Romans:3:5 @ When we do wrong things, we show that God is right. What shall we say about that? Does God do wrong when he punishes us? (I speak the way people would think about it.)

bwe@Romans:3:7 @ Maybe I say what is not true. And that makes people praise God more because he is true. Then why does God still judge me and say I have done wrong?

bwe@Romans:3:8 @ Some people say wrong things about us. They say that we say, Let us do wrong things so that good things will happen. People who say such things should be punished.

bwe@Romans:3:9 @ So what shall we say? Are we Jews any better than other people? No, we are not! I have already shown that all men, both Jews and people who are not Jews have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:3:19 @ We know that everything the law says, it says to the people who have the law. Then no one can say a word for themselves. All the people in the world will be brought to God to be judged.

bwe@Romans:3:25 @ God gave him as a sacrifice. When people believe in him, his blood pays for the wrong things they have done. This shows that God is good and right. He was right when he forgave the wrong things that people did long ago.

bwe@Romans:3:26 @ God also shows that he is right now. He does this when he makes right any person who believes in Jesus.

bwe@Romans:3:28 @ We know that if a person believes in Christ, God makes him right again. It is not because that person has obeyed the law.

bwe@Romans:3:31 @...good to us? No. That is...

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:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.

bwe@Romans:4:11 @...was not yet circumcised. That makes...

bwe@Romans:4:12 @ That makes him also the father of those who are circumcised. I mean people who are circumcised and do as our father Abraham did. Even when he was not circumcised, he believed.

bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:16 @ That is why people must believe. Because God is kind, he makes the promise sure for all of Abrahams children. The promise is for those who have the law and also for those who believe as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.

bwe@Romans:4:17 @ the holy writings say, I have made you the father of many nations. Abraham was made the father of many nations by God. He believed God. He believed that God could make dead people live. He believed God when he said that things were true even though they had not happened yet.

bwe@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham believed and hoped, though there was nothing to give him hope. He believed that he would become the father of many nations. God had told him this would happen.

bwe@Romans:4:21 @ He was sure that God was able to do what he had promised to do.

bwe@Romans:4:23 @ The holy writings do not say that for Abraham only.

bwe@Romans:4:25 @ He was killed because we did wrong things. He was raised from death in order that we might be made right with God.

bwe@Romans:5:2 @ Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.

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:5:4 @ When we are strong to take trouble, we prove that we believe. When we prove that we believe, we have hope.

bwe@Romans:5:10 @ When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.

bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.

bwe@Romans:5:16 @ The free gift is not like the wrong thing one man did. Because of that one man people were judged. And they were punished. Because many people did wrong things, God gave his free gift and many people were made right with him.

bwe@Romans:5:17 @...them his free gift. That gift...

bwe@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we keep on doing wrong things so that God will be more kind to us?

bwe@Romans:6:6 @ We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.

bwe@Romans:6:8 @ If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

bwe@Romans:6:9 @ We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.

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:6:12 @ Do not let wrong things rule over your bodies that are going to die. Do not do the things your bodies want.

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:6:23 @ The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.

bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?

bwe@Romans:7:2 @ A married woman belongs to her husband by law as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law that made her belong to her husband.

bwe@Romans:7:3 @ So if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she commits adultery. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then if she belongs to another man, she does not commit adultery.

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:7:7 @...take other peoples things. That is...

bwe@Romans:7:8 @ My wrong ways used the law to make me want all kinds of things. When there is no law, the thing within me that wants to do wrong is dead.

bwe@Romans:7:9 @ Once I had no law, and I lived. But when the law came, that which wanted to do wrong things came to life, and I died.

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:7:14 @ We know that the law came from the Holy Spirit. But I am a weak man. I have been sold like a slave to do wrong things.

bwe@Romans:7:16 @ And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

bwe@Romans:7:18 @ I know that no good thing lives in me. I mean, no good thing lives in my body. I want to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

bwe@Romans:7:19 @ I do not do the good thing I want to do, but I do the wrong thing that I do not want to do.

bwe@Romans:7:20 @ If I do the thing I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the wrong thing in me that does it.

bwe@Romans:7:21 @ So there is a law I find that it is at work in me. When I want to do what is right, I can only do what is wrong.

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:7:24 @ I am a very sad man. Who will save me from this body that will make me die?

bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.

bwe@Romans:8:15 @ The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.

bwe@Romans:8:16 @ So we say, Father! Father! The Spirit himself also, along with our own spirits, tells us that we are Gods children.

bwe@Romans:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.

bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

bwe@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole world has been crying. It has had much pain until now.

bwe@Romans:8:24 @ That is what we hoped for when we were saved. When the thing hoped for is seen, there is no more hoping. When a person sees a thing, how can he hope for it?

bwe@Romans:8:28 @ We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.

bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.

bwe@Romans:8:39 @ I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.

bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.

bwe@Romans:9:16 @...it says to Pharaoh, That is...

bwe@Romans:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.

bwe@Romans:9:32 @ That is what the holy writings say, I put in Zion a stone on which people will hit their feet. It is a rock that will make them fall down. Anyone who believes in him will not be ashamed.

bwe@Romans:10:7 @ Do not say, "Who will go down into the hole that has no bottom?" (That means, Who will go down to bring Christ up from the dead people?)

bwe@Romans:10:8 @...and in your heart. That means,...

bwe@Romans:10:9 @ If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from death, you will be saved.

bwe@Romans:11:3 @ He said, Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have pulled down your holy places. I am the only one that is left, and they are trying to kill me.

bwe@Romans:11:7 @ So what does that mean? The Jews did not get what they tried to get. Only the people God chose got it. The hearts of the rest of the people became hard.

bwe@Romans:11:8 @ The holy writings say, God made them dull with sleep. He gave them eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear. They have been like that until today.

bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @...how to be saved. That would...

bwe@Romans:11:15 @ God turned away from the Jews in order to bring the world back to himself. Then if that is true, when he takes the Jews back to himself, will not that be like making dead people live?

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:11:18 @ But do not think that you are better than the trees own branches. If you do, remember it is not you that holds the root in place. But it is the root that holds you.

bwe@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, The branches were broken off so that I might be joined to the 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:11:24 @...a good olive tree. That is...

bwe@Romans:11:25 @ My brothers, I want you to know something that has been a secret. Then you will not be proud of yourselves. The secret is this. Some Jews will have hard hearts until the right number of other people have come in.

bwe@Romans:11:28 @...news of Jesus Christ. That helps...

bwe@Romans:11:32 @ God allowed people to disobey him. He did it so that he might be kind and forgive all people.

bwe@Romans:11:35 @ Who has given a gift to God first, so that God would give him something also?

bwe@Romans:12:1 @...like a living sacrifice. That is,...

bwe@Romans:12:2 @...wants you to do. That will...

bwe@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.

bwe@Romans:13:7 @ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.

bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.

bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.

bwe@Romans:13:12 @ The night is almost past. Morning is near. Let us stop doing the wrong things people do in the dark. Let us do the good things that people do in the light.

bwe@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes he may eat anything. Another person, who does not believe that, eats only things that grow in the garden.

bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

bwe@Romans:14:9 @...and of living people. That is...

bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.

bwe@Romans:14:14 @ As a Christian, I know and believe that nothing in itself is not right to eat. But it is not right for anyone to eat who thinks it is not right to eat.

bwe@Romans:14:16 @ What is good for you must not be something that other people say is wrong.

bwe@Romans:14:19 @ But we must do the things that make peace and that help each other to do better.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.

bwe@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing is to eat no meat, and drink no wine, and not do anything that makes your brother fall.

bwe@Romans:14:23 @...if he eats it. That is...

bwe@Romans:15:3 @ Christ did not please himself. But the holy writings say, I took upon myself the wrong things that people said against you.

bwe@Romans:15:4 @ Everything that is in the holy writings was written to teach us. They give hope and strength when we have troubles. The holy writings comfort our hearts.

bwe@Romans:15:7 @ So, accept one another, as Christ has accepted you. Then people will know that God is great.

bwe@Romans:15:8 @ What I say is this. Christ came to serve the Jews. He did this to prove that what God said was true. He proved that God kept his promises to the fathers.

bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.

bwe@Romans:15:14 @ My brothers, I myself believe that you are very good people. I believe that you know many things and are able to teach one another.

bwe@Romans:15:16 @...the people to God. That pleases...

bwe@Romans:15:24 @ When I go to the country of Spain, I hope to see you on my way there. I hope you will help me on my way to that place. But first I will be happy to be with you for a little while.

bwe@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I will bring great blessings from Christ.

bwe@Romans:15:31 @ Ask him to save me from the people in Judea who do not believe. Ask him that the gift I take to Jerusalem may please Gods people there.

bwe@Romans:15:33 @ God gives peace. I ask that he will be with you all. He will!

bwe@Romans:16:2 @...she is a Christian. That is...

bwe@Romans:16:19 @ People everywhere know that you obey. I am very happy about you. I want you to be wise and know what is right. I want you to know nothing about what is wrong.

bwe@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius sends you greetings. I am staying in his house. The whole church that meets in his house sends you greetings too. Erastus sends greetings to you. He takes care of the money for the city. Our brother Quartus sends you greetings.

bwe@Romans:16:25 @...news that I tell. That is...

bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:5 @ He has made you rich in all ways, in all that you say and in all you know.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you but Crispus and Gaius.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (However, I also baptized the people of the house of Stephanas. I do not know of any one else that I baptized.)

bwe@1Corinthians:1:17 @...words of this world. That would...

bwe@1Corinthians:1:18 @...the cross, they say, That is...

bwe@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where are your wise people, the men who know books, the men who like to talk about the things of this world? God has shown that the clever things of this world are nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:21 @ God is wise. But the people of the world were not wise enough to know God. So he chose to save people who believe the good news that we tell them, even though the good news may seem to be foolish.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose things that look foolish to the people of the world. He has used those foolish things to put the wise people to shame. God chose the weak things to put to shame the strong people.

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:1:29 @ He did this so that people would not be proud before God.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:2 @...I was with you. That one...

bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has shown these things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit understands everything, even the things that God has kept secret.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:16 @ The holy writings say: Who knows the mind of the Lord so that he may teach him? As for us, we really do have the mind of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:4 @ One says, I belong to Paul. Another says, I belong to Apollos. Does not that show that you have the spirit of this world?

bwe@1Corinthians:3:16 @ You know that you are Gods house. The spirit of God lives in you.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:19 @ The things that look wise to the people of this world look foolish to God. The holy writings say, He catches the wise people in their own tricks.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:20 @ It also says, The Lord knows that the wise mens thoughts are good for nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I do not know of anything wrong in me, but that does not say I am right. The Lord is my judge.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge me before it is time. Wait until the Lord comes. The things which have been kept hidden in the dark he will bring out into the light. He will show what is in peoples hearts. At that time God will tell each man how good his work is.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:6 @ My brothers, I have said these things about Apollos and myself so that you will learn from us to live the way the holy writings say. Then you will not be proud and say, This teacher is better than that one.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:7 @ If you are better, who made you that way? Everything you have was given to you. So then, why are you proud of it? Was it not given to you?

bwe@1Corinthians:4:8 @ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:9 @ It seems to me that God has put us apostles at the end of the line. We are like men who are to be put to death. The whole world, angels and men, look at us.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:17 @ That is why I am sending Timothy to you. I love Timothy very much. He is my Christian son. I can trust him. He will tell you again my Christian ways of living. I teach these same ways in every church meeting everywhere.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Can it be that you are still proud? This should make you very sad. The man who has done this should be put out of the church meeting.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Surely it is not right for you to be proud. Do you not know that only a little yeast in the bread will make all the bread rise?

bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Let us then remember the feast of Passover and have our bread. But let us not have our feast with old yeast in the bread. To do bad and wrong things is like that old yeast. But let us have it with new bread that has no old yeast in it. To be honest and true is like the new bread.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that some day Gods people will judge the world? If you are going to judge the world, can you not judge small things now?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? Then we should surely be able to judge things in this life!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that bad people will have no part in the kingdom where God rules? Do not be fooled. There are some people who will not have part in that place. They are those who commit adultery of any kind, those who have idols, or steal, or are always wanting more, or talk wrong things about people, or drink plenty of strong drink, or take things by force, or curse.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies belong to Christ? Shall I take parts of Christ and join them to a bad woman? No, never!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the house of the Holy Spirit who lives in you? God gave the Holy Spirit to you. Remember, you do not belong to yourself.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say you may do this. I do not say that you must do it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were like I am. But God has made everyone different. One man can live one way and another man can live another way.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:19 @ It does not matter whether one is circumcised or not. The thing that matters is doing what God says we must do.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Here, my brothers, is what I mean. The time is short. In the time that is left, men who have wives should live as though they did not.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:36 @...let him marry her. That is,...

bwe@1Corinthians:7:37 @...woman will do well. That is,...

bwe@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But I think that she is happier if she stays as she is and does not marry again. (I think too that I am saying what the Spirit of God wants me to say in this matter.)

bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If other people do not call me an apostle, yet surely I am an apostle to you. You people are the proof that I am an apostle for the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If it is right for other teachers to receive something from you, then we have more of a right to receive it. But we did not use our right. Instead, we do anything we can so that we will not stop the good news of Christ from going out.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:14 @ It is the same with those who work telling the good news. The Lord said they should get their living from that work.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:18 @...be paid for it! That is...

bwe@1Corinthians:9:19 @ Even though I am no ones slave, yet I have made myself a slave to everyone. I have done this so that I might win more people to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all this for the good news, so that I also will have some of its blessing.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who wants to show his strength must control himself in every way. They do it for a prize that will spoil. But what we do, we do for a reward that will never, never spoil.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @...which went with them. That Rock...

bwe@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore, when a person thinks, I am strong; I can stand, let that person be careful, or he will fall.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No testing has come to you that other people do not have. But God will not fail you. He will not allow the testing to be too hard for you. No. When the testing comes, God will make a way out for you, so that you can go through the testing.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:16 @ We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:18 @ See what the Jews do. Those who eat the sacrifices all eat things that are sacrificed.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean by saying this? Is the food that has been given to idols really something holy? Or is an idol really something like God?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat any meat that is sold at the market. Do not ask any questions about it because you think, Is it wrong to eat it?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:26 @ The holy writings say, The earth belongs to the Lord and everything that is in it.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do nothing that will make Jews, or Greeks, or those who belong to the church of God, turn away from God.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In the next thing I have to talk about, I cannot say that you are doing well. Your meeting together is more bad than good.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:18 @ First, I hear that in the church meeting you divide yourselves into groups. I think this may be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you meet together, it is not the Lords supper that you eat.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:24 @ He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So then, when anyone eats the bread and drinks from the cup in a way that is not right, he has done wrong to the body and blood of the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many of you are weak and sick. Many have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:32 @ When we are punished, the Lord is teaching us to do right, so that we will not be punished with the rest of the people of the world.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that before you believed in God, you were led by other men to believe in idols that could not talk.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:7 @ And the Holy Spirit gives each one a gift so that all people may be helped.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:22 @ No, that is not so. Some parts of the body are not as strong as others. Yet we could not live without them.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And we look after some parts of our body more than others because they need it. The parts of our body that are not so fine in one way are made more fine in other ways. But the parts which are fine already do not need to be made fine. God made the body and has given more care to the parts that need it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:29 @ You should seek after the best gifts. But I will show you a way that is much better than any of them!

bwe@1Corinthians:13:5 @ Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself. Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when everything becomes perfect, that part will come to an end.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:8 @ If the war drum gives a sound that has no meaning, then no one will get ready to fight.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:9 @ If you say words that people cannot understand, they will not know what you say. You talk for nothing!

bwe@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I can talk in tongues more than any of you.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in the church meeting it is better for me to say five words with my mind, so that I will teach other people also. This is better than to say ten thousand words in a tongue of a different language.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Sometimes all the people of the church may be gathered together. If everyone talks in tongues, and if some people who do not know or believe come in, they will say that you are crazy.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:25 @ Such a person sees everything that has been hidden in his heart. Then he will kneel down and worship God. He will say, It is true. God is here among you.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:31 @ One by one you may speak words from God. In that way, all will learn something and all will be stronger in faith.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Do you think that you were the first ones to tell the word of God? Or do you think that you are the only people who have it?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:3 @ I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:12 @ You have been told that Christ was raised from death. How can some of you say that dead people do not rise again?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:15 @ If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:18 @ If that were true, then the people who believed in Christ who have now died, are lost.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:24 @ After that the end will come. Christ will hand over the ruling power to God the Father. Christ will stop all other rulers, and everyone who has any rights and power.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:27 @ The holy writings say, God has put all things under Christ. But it does not mean that God is under Christ. God is the one who put all things under him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:31 @...face death every day! That is...

bwe@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So it is with the body that is raised from death. When it is put in the ground it is a body that dies. When it rises from death, it will never die again.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:56 @ But I thank God that he gives us power to stop being wrong through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:57 @ So, my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not be moved from what you believe. Work hard for the Lord. You know that your work for the Lord will not be for nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes to you, be good to him, so that his heart will not be troubled while he is with you. He is working for the Lord, just as I am.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that Stephanas and his family were the first people in the country of Greece to believe the good news. They have made up their minds to help Gods people always.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. They have made up for your not being here.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have made me happy and you also. Show that you know the value of such men.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:3 @ He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:4 @ We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:5 @ When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:9 @ He saved us from the death that was so near, and he still saves us. We believe that God will keep on saving us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:10 @ But you must help us also. You must talk to God about us. When many people ask God to help us, then many people will thank God for the way he has blessed us. ourselves. Our hearts tell us that we have lived the right way in the world, and even more so toward you. We have lived a clean and true life as God wants us to. We have not trusted in the wise things of men, but in the blessing of God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:11 @ We write you nothing but what you have been reading out to the people, and what you all know. I hope that you will really know what is right even to the end.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:12 @ You already know something about us. I hope that you will come to know us fully. On the day when the Lord Jesus comes you will be proud of us. So too will we be proud of you.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:15 @ That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say Yes when I mean to say No?

bwe@2Corinthians:1:18 @ To the many promises God has made Christ can say Yes.He can make them all come true. So then, it is because of Christ that we can say, Yes, it is so! when we praise God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I made up my mind that I would not go to visit you again if I had to make you sad.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:3 @ That is why I wrote the letter. I did not want to come and be made sad by those who should make me glad. I am sure that what makes me glad makes you all glad too.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:4 @ When I wrote to you, I was in great trouble and my heart was very heavy. I cried with many tears. I did not want you to be sad, but I just wanted to let you know that I love you very much who made me sad. It was not only me that he made sad. It was every one of you, in a way. I say in a way because I do not want to be too strong in what I say.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:5 @ That man has been punished enough by what most of you did to him.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:10 @ I have done this so that Satan will not get ahead of us. We know his tricks. of Troas to tell the good news of Christ, the door was open for me to work for the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.

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:3:9 @ Bringing the law was a wonderful thing even though it brought death. So bringing the good news that people can be put right with God is much more wonderful.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:10 @ The law was so bright and wonderful at first but has no light now. There is something else that is so much more bright and wonderful.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses. He put a cloth over his face so that the people of Israel would not see that the light from God was dying.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:2 @ We never do wrong things nor do things in secret. We do not fool people nor change Gods message. No, we tell people the truth openly. We let every person judge us for himself. We know that God sees all we do.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:6 @ God said, Let light shine in the darkness. And he has let light shine in our hearts too. He gave us light that shows how bright and wonderful God is. We see this light when we look at the face of Christ.

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:4:17 @ We are not looking at things that can be seen, but at things that cannot be seen. The things which can be seen last only a little while. But the things which cannot be seen last for ever.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:1 @...give us another house. That house...

bwe@2Corinthians:5:3 @ When we have moved into it, then we are sure that we will never be left without a house.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:5 @ God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We feel sure that we will want to leave this body and go to live with the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:10 @ We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Then we will receive pay. If we have done well, our pay will be good. If we have not done well, our pay will not be good. must be feared, so we try to get people to believe. God knows what we are and what we do. And we hope that in your hearts you, too, know.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:13 @ The love of Christ makes us do what we do to win men. We believe that one man died for all people. <FI>To God<Fi> it is as if we all died with him.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:15 @ So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.

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:6:4 @ In every way we try to show that we are good servants of God. We do not give up when there is much trouble, and things go wrong, and things are hard.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:1 @ My dear people, since God has promised us these things, we should make ourselves clean. We should clean out everything that makes our lives or our spirits dirty. We should try to be altogether holy because we respect God with fear. place in your hearts. We have not done wrong to anyone. We have not hurt anyone. We have not taken anything from anyone.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:2 @ I do not say this to bring something against you. I have already told you that we love you very much. If we live or if we die, we will be together with you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:6 @ You comforted him, and that comforted us. He told us that you wanted very much to see us. He told us that you were very sorry for what you had done. He told us that you want to stand with me. So now I am even more happy. 8,

bwe@2Corinthians:7:7 @ I know that what I wrote in my letter made you sad. But I am not sorry I wrote it. Perhaps I was sorry at first, but now I am glad I sent it. I see the letter made you sad for a while.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:8 @ I do not like to make you sad, but I am glad that it made you sad and made you turn from your wrong ways. You took it all as from God. So then, we did not really hurt you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:10 @ See what happened. When you were sad, the way God wanted you to be, then you tried to do the right thing. You wanted to free yourself from wrong. You hated what is wrong. You were afraid. You wanted very much to do what is right. You stood for the right. You punished wrong doing. In every way you showed that you did right in this matter.

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:7:15 @ I am glad that I can always trust you.

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:8:8 @...strong your love is. That is...

bwe@2Corinthians:8:14 @ I want it to be equal for everyone. Right now, you have plenty and are able to help them. Another time, when they have plenty, they will help you when you need it. In that way things will be equal.

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:8:18 @ Not only that, but the churches have chosen him to travel with us as we take care of this gift. We are doing this so that the Lord will be praised. We want to help others.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:19 @ We do not want anyone to say that we have not done the right thing. So we are taking care of this big gift in the right way. 21We want to do what the Lord says is right, but also what people say is right.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:22 @ Now then, prove that you love them. Prove that what we have said about you is true. Then the churches will know it.

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:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:4 @ If some men from Macedonia come with me and see that you are not ready, then we will be ashamed, and you too. We will be ashamed that we were so sure.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thank God for his gift so great that no words can ever tell it all!

bwe@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, beg you to do something since you know that Christ was kind and gentle. You say I am weak when I am face to face with you, but when I am not with you, then I speak to you with hard words.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We can break down what people think and every big idea that tries to stop people from knowing God. And we can make every thought a prisoner to obey Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Surely you can see this. If one person is sure that he belongs to Christ, then he should see that we too belong to Christ just as he does.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I do not want you to think that I am trying to make you afraid by my letters.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:11 @ People like that should know this. When we come we will do what we have said in our letters.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We will not be proud of other mens work which we did not do. We hope that you will believe more strongly, so that we can do more work among you, as God gives it to us.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:16 @ Then we hope to tell the good news in places far beyond you. We will not be proud of the work given to someone else to do-work that was done before we got there.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:17 @ The holy writings say that the person who is proud should be proud only of the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:2 @...wife of a husband. That husband...

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:11:5 @ But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I took pay from other churches. I made them poor so that I might help you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why is this? Is it because I do not love you? God knows that I love you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:13 @ Men like that are not true apostles. They work to fool people. They try to make themselves look like apostles of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his workers also try to make themselves look like Gods workers who do right. They will come to an end like the work they do! think that I am foolish. But if you do, then please listen to me as if I were foolish. I also want to do a little talking about myself.

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:11:27 @...troubled about the churches. That is...

bwe@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must talk about myself, I will talk about the things that show I am weak.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:8 @ I begged the Lord three times that this trouble might leave me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:11 @ There are signs that show a true apostle. I did all these things when I was among you. There were signs, wonderful works, and other big works which I did. You saw the power of God, even though I was being tested.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:14 @ For my part, I am glad to spend what I have, and to spend myself for the sake of your souls. But it seems to me that the more I love you the less you love me!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:15 @ All right then, I did not trouble you for any money. But some of you think that I have been mean and played a trick on you.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:19 @ I want to be pleased with you when I come. But I am afraid I will not be. And I am afraid that you will not be pleased with me. I fear that I may find quarrelling, jealousy, anger, and that I will find you are enemies to each other, that you are spoiling each others names, that you are telling stories about each other, that you are proud and do not obey rulers.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:20 @ And I am afraid that when I come my God will make me ashamed of you. I am afraid that my heart will be very sad about you. Many have been doing wrong things for a long time. Many have not turned away from their dirty ways, their wrong use of sex, and the things they should be ashamed of.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:3 @ This will be the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you. No, he shows his power among you.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:4 @ It is true that he was weak when he died on a cross. But now he is alive by the power of God. We are weak as he was, but we will also be alive as he is by the power God has. You will see this.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope you will know that we pass the test.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:7 @...will do nothing wrong. That is...

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@2Corinthians:13:10 @ That is why I am writing these things to you the way I am, before I reach you. Then, when I come to you, I do not want to be hard on you. I do not want to use the power which the Lord has given me. He gave it to me to help to make you better Christians, not to break you down.

bwe@Galatians:1:14 @ I knew more about the law of the Jews than many of my own age among my people. I wanted much more than they did to obey the laws which our fathers passed down to us, even the ones that were not written.

bwe@Galatians:1:16 @ God wanted to show his Son to me so that I might tell people who are not Jews about him. I did not go and ask any other person about the good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:20 @ God knows that what I am writing to you is not a lie.

bwe@Galatians:1:22 @ At that time the churches of Christ in Judea did not know me. They had never seen me.

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:2:5 @ But we did not let them tell us what to do, no, not even for one minute. In that way the real good news will be yours always.

bwe@Galatians:2:7 @ No, the leaders saw that God called me to take the good news to those who are not circumcised <FI>not Jews<Fi>, just as he called Peter to take the good news to those who are circumcised <FI>Jews<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:9 @ The leaders saw that God had blessed me. James, Peter, and John seemed to be leaders in the church. They saw that God had blessed me. So they accepted Barnabas and me as fellow workers. They agreed that we should go to the people who were not Jews and they themselves would go to the Jews.

bwe@Galatians:2:11 @ One day Peter came to the city of Antioch. Then I had to tell him face to face that he had done wrong. He really was wrong!

bwe@Galatians:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.

bwe@Galatians:2:17 @...put right with God. That showed...

bwe@Galatians:2:19 @ Through the law I died. Now the law has no power over me so that I may live for God.

bwe@Galatians:3:1 @ O you Galatians, have you no sense at all? Who has fooled you? You knew, just as if you had seen him with your own eyes, that Jesus Christ was killed on a cross.

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>? No, it was because you heard Gods word and believed it.

bwe@Galatians:3:6 @ So it was with Abraham. The holy writings say He believed God, and that was why God called him a good man.

bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.

bwe@Galatians:3:10 @ A curse is on all people who are trying to become good by obeying the law. The holy writings say, Everyone is cursed who does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law and do it.

bwe@Galatians:3:14 @ Christ Jesus did this so that those who are not Jews will have the blessing which Abraham had. He did this so that when we believe, we will receive the Spirit who was promised to us.

bwe@Galatians:3:16 @ God made his promises to Abraham and to his Son. The promise does not have the words, and to his sons, for that means many sons. But it says, and to his Son, and that Son is Christ.

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:3:21 @ Is the law against the promises of God? No, it is not! If a law had been given that could give people life, then surely people would have become good people by the law.

bwe@Galatians:3:22 @ But the holy writings say it is like this. The whole world is in prison, kept there by the wrong things they have done. This was done so that people who believe in Jesus Christ would have the blessing. This blessing was promised to those who believe.

bwe@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that one has come for us to believe in, the law does not watch over us any longer.

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:4:5 @ God sent him to set the people free who were under the law. God sent him so that we would receive our rights as sons of God.

bwe@Galatians:4:8 @ At first, you did not know God. At that time you obeyed things which are not real gods.

bwe@Galatians:4:9 @...now you know God. That is,...

bwe@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear that all my work for you has been for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that I was sick when I first told you the good news.

bwe@Galatians:4:15 @ Why are you not happy any more? I saw myself that you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if you could do such a thing.

bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.

bwe@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you people that want the law to control you, why do you not listen to the law?

bwe@Galatians:4:22 @ The holy writings say that Abraham had two sons. One was the son of the slave woman. The other one was the son of the free woman.

bwe@Galatians:4:24 @...children are born slaves. That agreement...

bwe@Galatians:4:26 @ But the city of Jerusalem in heaven is free, and that is our mother.

bwe@Galatians:4:29 @ Abrahams child who was born as any child is born, troubled the other child who was born by the Spirit. It is that way today.

bwe@Galatians:5:2 @ I, Paul, say to you again that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ is no help to you at all.

bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:6 @ So if a man belongs to Christ Jesus, it does not matter if he is circumcised or not. He must show by his love that he believes.

bwe@Galatians:5:10 @ The Lord makes me sure that you will not think any other way. But the teacher who is troubling your minds will be punished. It does not matter who he is.

bwe@Galatians:5:13 @ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not take that to mean that you can do as you please. But work for each other because you love each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:17 @ People want to do wrong things that the Spirit does not want them to do. And the Spirit wants people to do things they do not want to do. The Spirit and the wrong things you want to do are against each other, so that you do not do what you yourself want to do.

bwe@Galatians:5:22 @ But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:1 @ My brothers, perhaps a man has done something wrong. If so, you who are strong in the Spirit must help him to do the right thing again. Help him in a gentle way. Take care yourself, that you are not tried and will want to do wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:2 @ Help each other in your troubles. In that way you obey Christs law.

bwe@Galatians:6:3 @ A man who thinks that he is an important person when he is not, that man fools himself.

bwe@Galatians:6:12 @ Some people want to do things that can be seen. They try to force you to be circumcised. They want to hide from trouble which would come to them if they talk about the cross of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.

bwe@Galatians:6:17 @ From now on, please do not trouble me. For I have marks on my body that show I belong to the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Ephesians:1:4 @ Before the world was made, God chose us in Christ. He chose us that we should be holy and good before him.

bwe@Ephesians:1:5 @...we are Gods children. That is...

bwe@Ephesians:1:11 @ In and through Christ we will have a share in all that belongs to him. Long ago God chose us for this. And he makes things happen that he wants to do.

bwe@Ephesians:1:13 @...heard the true message. That message...

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

bwe@Ephesians:1:15 @ Here is why I always thank God for you. I have heard that you believe in the Lord Jesus and love all of Gods people. I think of you when I talk to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:16 @ He is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father who is very great and wonderful. I ask him to give you a mind that is wise and will understand about him.

bwe@Ephesians:1:17 @ I ask him that you may understand these things in your hearts. I ask him that you may know what a great hope you have because God has called you. I ask him that you may know the rich and great blessings God has promised to his people.

bwe@Ephesians:1:18 @ I ask him that you may know the wonderful power he has to do things for us who believe in Christ. His power is very strong.

bwe@Ephesians:1:19 @ God used that power when he raised Christ from death and had him sit at his right side in heaven.

bwe@Ephesians:1:20 @ He is greater than any ruler, power, chief, or king. His name is greater than any other name, not only in this world, but in the world that will come.

bwe@Ephesians:1:22 @ The church <FI>all the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi> is his body. The church people have everything that Christ has. He is the One who is in everything everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:2:1 @...when you were dead. That was...

bwe@Ephesians:2:2 @...things in the air. That ruler...

bwe@Ephesians:2:10 @ God has made us. In Jesus Christ God made us so that we can do good things. He planned that we should live that way.

bwe@Ephesians:2:11 @ So remember that you were not born Jews. (They call you The Uncircumcised).

bwe@Ephesians:2:12 @ Remember you did not know Christ at that time. You were far away from the people of Israel. You had no part in the agreements which God promised to them. You had no hope and you were without God in this world.

bwe@Ephesians:2:14 @ Christ has made peace between us. He has brought both Jews and non-Jews together into one people. He has broken down the wall that divided us.

bwe@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own body Christ made an end of the law and its rules. He did this so that in him two peoples could become one. In this way, he made peace between 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:2:17 @ He came and said that there is now peace. There is peace for you who were far away from God and for those who were near.

bwe@Ephesians:3:1 @ That is why I, Paul, am a prisoner who belongs to Jesus Christ. It is for the sake of you people who are not Jews.

bwe@Ephesians:3:2 @ I am sure you have heard that God gave me work to do for you.

bwe@Ephesians:3:7 @ God gave me the work of telling that good news. And he blessed me by his power.

bwe@Ephesians:3:8 @ I am less than the least of all Gods people, and yet he blessed me. It is my work to tell those who are not Jews about the wonderful blessings of Christ. There are so many that we cannot know them all.

bwe@Ephesians:3:9 @ God has blessed me so that I might tell all people plainly what his plan is. God, who made all things, did not tell anyone about his plan in all the times in the past.

bwe@Ephesians:3:14 @ That is why I kneel down before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:3:17 @ And I ask that Christ may live in your hearts because you believe in him. I ask that you may live and grow in love.

bwe@Ephesians:3:18 @ I ask that God will give you power to know how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is. All Christians should know that.

bwe@Ephesians:3:19 @ I ask God that you may know the love of Christ which is more than we can ever know. I ask that you may be filled with everything that God has.

bwe@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now, what does he went up mean? Does it not mean that he also came down to the earth below?

bwe@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who came down is the same one who went up higher than all the heavens. He did this so that he would be everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:4:13 @ The gifts are given so that we will all believe the one way and all know the Son of God. They are given so that we will be really grown-up Christians, like Christ himself.

bwe@Ephesians:4:14 @ The body of Christ must grow so that we will no longer be like children. We are like children when we are pushed this way and that way. We change our minds every time people bring a different teaching. Some teachers teach the lies of men and fool people so that they believe wrong things.

bwe@Ephesians:4:15 @ We must say what is true and say it with love. In that way we will grow up in all things to be like Christ, who is the head of this body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:16 @ The whole body is joined and held together by every joint that it has. It is from Christ that the whole body grows as each different part does its work. It grows so that it becomes stronger in love.

bwe@Ephesians:4:20 @ That is not what you have learned from Christ!

bwe@Ephesians:4:22 @...in your old life. That person...

bwe@Ephesians:4:24 @...Be a new person. That new...

bwe@Ephesians:4:29 @ Do not let any bad words come out of your mouth. But say good things that will help people. Then those who hear you will also be blessed by what you say.

bwe@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do nothing that makes the Holy Spirit feel sad. He is the mark God has put on you until the day you will belong to God altogether.

bwe@Ephesians:5:6 @ Do not let anyone fool you by their empty talk. It is because people do these wrong things that God is very angry. He is angry with the people who do not obey him.

bwe@Ephesians:5:9 @ People who have the light do all that is good and right and true.

bwe@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have no part in the empty things people do in the dark. Show them that they are wrong.

bwe@Ephesians:5:13 @ But when the light shines on something, it can be seen. Anything that shows up wrong ways is light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:18 @...get drunk with wine. That is...

bwe@Ephesians:5:26 @ He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by Gods word.

bwe@Ephesians:5:27 @ He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.

bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.

bwe@Ephesians:6:7 @ You know that the Lord will pay every man for the good things he does. It does not matter if he is a servant or a free man.

bwe@Ephesians:6:8 @ And you who are bosses, be good to your servants also. Do not talk loud, hard words to them. Remember that both their Lord and yours is in heaven. He does not love one person more than another.

bwe@Ephesians:6:10 @ Use everything that God has given you so that you can fight against the tricks of the devil.

bwe@Ephesians:6:12 @ So use everything that God has given you, that you can fight when the bad time comes. You will need to do everything you can do to stand!

bwe@Ephesians:6:14 @ You have the good news of peace. Wear that like shoes on your feet.

bwe@Ephesians:6:15 @ You believe in God. Take that and cover all of yourself with it. With that you can stop all the poison arrows of the devil.

bwe@Ephesians:6:21 @ I am sending him to you so that you will know about us, and so that he may comfort your hearts.

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:1:8 @ I love you all as Jesus Christ loves you. God knows that what I say is true.

bwe@Philippians:1:10 @ When I talk to God I ask that you may have more and more love. I ask him that you will also know and understand, so that you will be able to see what things are right. I want you to be clean with nothing wrong in you when Jesus Christ comes back.

bwe@Philippians:1:11 @...help of Jesus Christ. That will...

bwe@Philippians:1:12 @ My brothers, I want you to know that what has happened to me has made more people know about the good news.

bwe@Philippians:1:13 @ All the soldiers here and all the other people know that I am in prison because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:17 @ These last ones do it because they love me. They know that I am here to speak for the good news.

bwe@Philippians:1:19 @ Yes, I will keep on being glad about it. I know that you will talk to God about me, and I know that the Spirit of Jesus Christ will help me. So I know that things will work out for me to be free.

bwe@Philippians:1:20 @ I look forward to this very much and hope that I will not be ashamed at all. But I want to be very strong. I want to bring honour to Christ now as I always have. I can do this if I live or die.

bwe@Philippians:1:25 @...here with you all. That will...

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:2:6 @ He was in every way like God. Yet he did not think that being equal to God was something he must hold on to.

bwe@Philippians:2:9 @ That is why God has made him very great. God has given him a name above every name.

bwe@Philippians:2:11 @ Everyone will admit that Jesus Christ is Lord. They will praise God the Father for this.

bwe@Philippians:2:12 @ My dear people, you have always obeyed me. God has saved you from wrong ways. Now show this by the good things that you do. You must live that way, not only when I am with you, but much more now that I am not with you. Think of how wrong it will be if you do not. Try hard to work out how to do it.

bwe@Philippians:2:15 @ In that way you will be completely good. No one will be able to say anything wrong about you. You will be Gods good children living amongst bad people. Among them you will shine like lights in the world.

bwe@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know what a good man Timothy is. You know that he has worked with me in telling the good news. He has worked just as a son works with his father.

bwe@Philippians:2:24 @ And I trust that the Lord will let me come to you soon myself.

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:3:4 @ 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:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.

bwe@Philippians:3:7 @ But all these things that might have helped me, I call them all nothing, because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.

bwe@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.

bwe@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not mean to say that I have got there yet, or that I am perfect yet. But I am trying hard to get there, because that is why Christ saved me.

bwe@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not yet think that I have got all the things of Christ. But there is one thing that I am doing. I forget what is behind me and reach out to what is ahead of me.

bwe@Philippians:3:14 @ Like a man running a race, I try hard to reach the line so that I will receive the prize. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, God is calling us to receive this prize that he has for us in heaven.

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:4:4 @ Let everyone know that you think kindly of others before yourselves. The Lord is near.

bwe@Philippians:4:6 @...too wonderful to understand. That peace...

bwe@Philippians:4:7 @ Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.

bwe@Philippians:4:9 @ The Lord made me very happy to know that you were thinking about me again. Yes, I know you were thinking of me before, but you had no way to help me.

bwe@Philippians:4:10 @ I do not mean that I needed it. I have learned to be satisfied with what I have. I am happy with whatever happens to me.

bwe@Philippians:4:16 @ It is not that I want the gift. But I want you to have more and more blessing because you give.

bwe@Colossians:1:4 @ We have heard that you believe in Christ Jesus and love all of Gods people.

bwe@Colossians:1:6 @ That message has reached you. It is doing good and it is spreading everywhere in the world. It is doing the same among you. It began the day you heard and understood Gods blessing, which came to you in a clear way.

bwe@Colossians:1:9 @ That is why we keep on talking to God about you since the day we heard about you. We ask him that you may know everything he wants you to do. We ask him that you may be very wise and that the Spirit will help you to understand.

bwe@Colossians:1:10 @ We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God.

bwe@Colossians:1:16 @...which cannot be seen. That means...

bwe@Colossians:1:18 @ He is also the head of the body which is the church <FI>the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi>. He is the beginning, the first one to rise from death, so that he would be the first one in everything.

bwe@Colossians:1:23 @ But you must keep on believing and stand strong and true. Let nothing shake the hope which the good news brought you. You heard the same good news as is told to everyone in the whole world. I, Paul, was given the work of telling that same good news.

bwe@Colossians:1:25 @ God gave me work to do for the church people so that you might know all of Gods message.

bwe@Colossians:1:27 @ He wanted them to know that his plan is very great and wonderful for those who are not Jews. And this plan is that Christ is in you! He is your hope for all the wonderful things that are to come.

bwe@Colossians:1:28 @ We tell about him. We tell everyone to be careful to live in the right way. We teach everyone all he needs to know. We do this so that we can bring everyone before God and he will be grown up in the things of Christ.

bwe@Colossians:1:29 @ And I am working for this with all the strength that God gives me.

bwe@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this so that no one may lead you the wrong way by their fine words.

bwe@Colossians:2:5 @ Even though I am not with you in body, I am with you in spirit. I am happy to see that you stand together well and that you keep on believing in Christ.

bwe@Colossians:2:9 @ Christ has everything that God has.

bwe@Colossians:2:14 @ He wiped out all the things that were written against us in the laws. He took the writing away and nailed it to a cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:15 @ He won the victory over powers and rulers. He showed that they had no power at all. He showed the world his victory through the cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:17 @ They are like a shadow of what is to come. But Christ is the body that makes the shadow.

bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.

bwe@Colossians:2:19 @ He is not joined to the real head which is Christ. It is from him that the whole body receives strength and is held together by its joints and muscles. It is from him that the body grows as God makes it grow.

bwe@Colossians:3:2 @ Think about the things that are in heaven, not about things that are on earth.

bwe@Colossians:3:5 @ So then, put to death those things of this world which are in you. I mean these things: wrong sex, things that are not clean, a heart that is burning to do wrong things, wanting what is wrong, and wanting to have what other people have. This last one is like worshipping an idol.

bwe@Colossians:3:6 @ They are things that make God angry.

bwe@Colossians:3:7 @ You used to do these things when you lived that way.

bwe@Colossians:3:10 @...become a new person. That new...

bwe@Colossians:3:13 @ Be patient with one another. If any one has a complaint against another, forgive that one. Christ forgave you. So you should forgive each other.

bwe@Colossians:4:1 @ You who are a boss, do what is right to your servants. You know that you also have a Master in heaven.

bwe@Colossians:4:3 @...Gods plan about Christ. That is...

bwe@Colossians:4:6 @ Always say good things when you talk. Talk in a way that will make people listen. Then you will know how to answer people.

bwe@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you so that you will know about us and so that he may comfort your hearts.

bwe@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras sends you greetings. He is one of you and is a servant of Christ Jesus. He always talks to God about you with all his heart. He asks God to help you to be strong so that you will become grown-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@Colossians:4:17 @ Tell Archippus, See that you do all the work which the Lord has given you to do.

bwe@Colossians:4:18 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember that I am in prison. God bless you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ My brothers, God loves you and we know that he has chosen you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ People in Macedonia and Greece have heard from you the message about the Lord. And people everywhere have heard that you believe in God. So there is no need for us to write about your faith.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ My brothers, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not for nothing.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ We never said nice things about people that were not true. You know this. We never talked to get something out of it for ourselves. God knows this.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ My brothers, you remember how hard we worked. We worked night and day so that we would not trouble any of you. And we told you Gods good news.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @...word. But you said, That is...

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ My brothers, you were like the churches of God in Judea which belong to Christ Jesus. The people of your own country troubled you in the same way that the Jews troubled them.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.

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:3:5 @ That is why I could not wait any longer. I sent Timothy to find out if you were still believing. I was afraid that Satan had tried you too much. Then our work would have been for nothing.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ It gives us new life now to know that you are standing strong in the Lord.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ Night and day we ask God that we may see you face to face. We want to help you know more about what you believe.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ And now, brothers, here is what we ask you to do. We beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus. We taught you how to live and to please God. You are living that way now, and we want you to do so more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ Do not do wrong to your Christian brother by taking his wife for yourself. The Lord will surely punish all those who do wrong in these things. We have already told you that and made it very clear.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We believe that Jesus died and rose again. And because of what Jesus did, God will bring back with him those who have died.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ You your-selves surely know that the day of the Lord will come just like a person who comes to steal in the night.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:4 @...not in the dark. That day...

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ God did not choose us so that he might be angry with us. But he chose us so that we might be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Do not let anyone do a wrong thing to a person if that person did a wrong thing to him. Always do good to one another. Be good to each other and to all men.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ But test everything that is said. Keep what is good.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Greet all the brothers with a kiss that is holy.

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:1:9 @...be destroyed for ever. That will...

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @...how great he is. That means...

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ That is why we always talk to God about you. We want our God to make you fit for the good work to which he called you. We ask him to finish his good work of faith which trusts in his power.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ In that way you will make the name of our Lord Jesus Christ great. And he will make you great. This will be because of the kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ Do not let your minds be easily upset. Do not be troubled by a spirit, or a message, or a letter. Do not be troubled if you hear that the day of the Lord has already come. Some people will say it came from us.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ He will put himself against God. He will put himself above everything to do with God, and above everything that people worship. He will sit in Gods holy place and tell people that he is God.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ You remember that I told you these things when I was still with you.

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:2:7 @ The plan to make people wrong has already begun to work. But someone is holding back that plan. He will stop the law-breaker for a time.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then that evil man will be seen. The Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath from his mouth. The coming of the Lord Jesus will be so bright and wonderful that it will put the evil man to an end.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the evil man is the work of Satan. He will come in great power with signs that are not true, and wonderful things.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ That is why God lets them be fooled so that they will believe what is not true.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ God called you to be saved by the good news we brought you. He did this so that you would have some of the honour which the Lord Jesus Christ has.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, comfort your hearts and make you strong to do and say everything that is good.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ My brothers, please talk to God about us. Ask God that the Lords message may reach many people quickly and that they may receive it gladly as you did.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ Ask God that we may be saved from bad people who do wrong things. Not everyone believes in Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ The Lord makes us feel sure about you. We are sure that you are doing, and will do, what we tell you to do.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are lazy. You do not work, but you trouble other people.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one will not obey what we say in this letter, look at that man and remember him. Have nothing to do with him, so that he will be ashamed.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write these words of greeting with my own hand. This is the sign in all my letters that I wrote them.

bwe@1Timothy:1:4 @ Tell them not to use stories that are not true, and long histories of names. These things often make people quarrel. These things do not make people believe and follow Gods way.

bwe@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some teachers have not tried to do these things and so they talk about things that do no good.

bwe@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the law is good when anyone uses it in the right way.

bwe@1Timothy:1:9 @ He must understand that the law was not made for the man who lives right. It was made for those who do not want any laws over them, and for those who will not obey. It was made for those who do not respect God, and those who are bad people. It was made for those who do not respect anything that is holy or belongs to God. It was made for those who beat their fathers or mothers, and for those who kill people.

bwe@1Timothy:1:10 @ It was made for those who use sex in the wrong way and for men who have sex with other men. It was made for those who steal people, for those who tell lies, for those who make a promise that is not true, and for any other thing that is not right.

bwe@1Timothy:1:16 @ Jesus Christ wanted to show that he is very, very patient. And so he was kind to me who was the worst. He did this so that others would believe in him and live for ever.

bwe@1Timothy:1:19 @ Keep on believing. Do only what you know is right. Some people have not done that and they have stopped believing.

bwe@1Timothy:1:20 @ Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them. I have given them to Satan so that they will be punished and learn not to teach things that do not respect God.

bwe@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, I want Gods people to do this. They must talk to God for all the people. They must ask God to help them. They must ask God to give them what they need. They must thank God for all that he gives them.

bwe@1Timothy:2:2 @ They must talk to God for all the kings and all rulers. They must do this so that we may live in peace and quiet, so that we may please God and do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:2:5 @...God and all people. That man...

bwe@1Timothy:2:9 @ I also want women to wear the right kind of clothes. They should not make a show of themselves, but use good sense. They should not fix up their hair in a fancy way, or wear gold and fine stones, or clothes that cost much money.

bwe@1Timothy:3:7 @ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devils trap.

bwe@1Timothy:3:11 @ In the same way, their wives must be women whom people respect. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must be able to control themselves. They must live so that people can trust them in all things.

bwe@1Timothy:4:1 @ The Spirit of God says very plainly that in later times some people will stop believing. They will listen to other spirits that fool them, and to the teaching of bad spirits.

bwe@1Timothy:4:2 @ Men will tell lies and make people believe they are something when they are not. These men will have made their hearts so hard that they will not know they are doing wrong.

bwe@1Timothy:4:3 @ They will teach people that they should not marry. They will teach them not to eat some kinds of food. God made the food and he wanted people to take it and thank him for it. Those who believe and know what is true do this.

bwe@1Timothy:4:4 @ Everything that God has made for food is good. It is all right to eat it if people thank God for it.

bwe@1Timothy:4:7 @ Have nothing to do with foolish stories. Make yourself strong in the things that please God.

bwe@1Timothy:4:10 @ That is why we work hard and put up with troubles. We trust in the living God who came to save all people. He makes a way for those who believe in him.

bwe@1Timothy:5:4 @ If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.

bwe@1Timothy:5:7 @ Tell them these things so that they will do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:5:8 @ A man must care for his own people. At least he must care for his family. If he does not care for them, he shows that he does not believe in God. He is worse than one who has never believed.

bwe@1Timothy:5:12 @ And that will be wrong for them because they have not kept their first promise.

bwe@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would like young women to marry again and have children. They should care for their homes. They should do nothing that would make the enemy say wrong things about them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:24 @ The wrong things some men do can be seen clearly and show that they should be punished. But wrong things other people do are not seen until later.

bwe@1Timothy:6:5 @ They quarrel. The minds of these men are bad. They do not know what is true. They think that worshipping God makes people rich. Keep away from such people.

bwe@1Timothy:6:6 @ It is true that people are much better off if they live to please God and if they are satisfied.

bwe@1Timothy:6:8 @ If we have food and clothes, that should be enough.

bwe@1Timothy:6:12 @...you believed in Christ. That was...

bwe@1Timothy:6:16 @ He alone has everlasting life. He lives in such light that no one can go near him. No person has ever seen him, or can see him. May he have honour and respect and have everlasting power. May it be so!

bwe@1Timothy:6:19 @ In this way they will store up good things for themselves for the time to come. Then they will get that life which really is the true life.

bwe@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.

bwe@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember that you really believe. Your grandmother Lois believed first. Your mother Eunice believed too. I am sure that you believe in the same way.

bwe@2Timothy:1:6 @ That is why I am telling you again. You must use Gods gift. It was given to you when I put my hands on your head.

bwe@2Timothy:1:9 @...wanted to do it. That was...

bwe@2Timothy:1:11 @ I have been chosen to tell that good news. I have been chosen to go out and teach it to those who are not Jews.

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:1:14 @ Keep safe that good thing which was trusted to you. The Holy Spirit who lives in us will help you.

bwe@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all the men who live in the country of Asia Minor have left me. Phygellus and Hermogenes are among them.

bwe@2Timothy:1:18 @ I hope the Lord will be kind to him on that great day. You know very well all that he did for me in the city of Ephesus.

bwe@2Timothy:2:1 @ So, my son Timothy, be strong. Christ Jesus has blessed you so that you can be strong.

bwe@2Timothy:2:6 @ A farmer works hard planting. He should be the first one to have the food that grows.

bwe@2Timothy:2:8 @...the family of David. That is...

bwe@2Timothy:2:10 @ That is why I bear all my trouble for the sake of Gods chosen people. I do it so that they also may be saved by Christ Jesus and be made great for ever.

bwe@2Timothy:2:15 @ Try to show God that you are a good worker. Do nothing you would be ashamed of. Tell the true message in the right way.

bwe@2Timothy:2:16 @...not come from God. That kind...

bwe@2Timothy:2:18 @...death is past already. That is...

bwe@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are many pots. They are not all made of gold and silver. Some are made of wood, and some of earth. Some are used for fine things and some are used for things that are not so fine.

bwe@2Timothy:2:21 @ So if a person keeps himself clean from these things, he will be like a dish that is used for a fine work. It is kept as a better dish for the head man of the house, and it is ready for any good thing he wants to use it for.

bwe@2Timothy:2:22 @ Have no part at all in the wrong things that young men like to do. Believe. Have love. Follow what is right. Live at peace. Do these things along with others who have a clean heart and talk to God.

bwe@2Timothy:2:23 @ Keep out of foolish quarrels. You know that they start fights.

bwe@2Timothy:2:25 @ When he corrects those who are against him, he must do it in a gentle way. It may be that God will turn their hearts to know what is true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:3 @ They will have no love. They will not agree with anybody. They will tell lies about people. They will have no self-control. They will beat people. They will not love anything that is good.

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:3:9 @ But these men will not get very far. Everyone will see that they are wrong, just as people saw that Jannes and Jambres were wrong.

bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.

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:4:16 @ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.

bwe@Titus:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to Gods chosen people so that they will believe and know what is true. This will make them more like God wants them to be.

bwe@Titus:1:3 @ And at the right time he sent men to tell people his word. God, who saves us, trusted me and told me to tell that word.

bwe@Titus:1:5 @ A leader must be a good man, that no one can blame for doing anything wrong. He must have only one wife. His children should believe. They must not live wrong lives.

bwe@Titus:1:9 @ There are many people who do not obey Gods truth. They talk about things that do no good, and they fool people by it. The Jewish leaders do this very much.

bwe@Titus:1:12 @ What he said is true. You must tell them that they are wrong. Tell them to stop it. They must believe what is true.

bwe@Titus:1:15 @ They say that they know God. But what they do shows that they do not know him. They live in a way that God hates. They do not obey. They can do nothing that is good.

bwe@Titus:2:2 @ Tell the older men that they must not drink too much wine. They must be men whom people respect. They must be wise. They must believe what is true. They must be loving and patient.

bwe@Titus:2:3 @ Tell the older women also that they must live like Christians. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must not drink much wine. They must teach what is good.

bwe@Titus:2:7 @ Titus, show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do. Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true. Teach in such a way that people will respect you.

bwe@Titus:2:8 @ Be sure that what you say is true, so that no one can say anything against it. Then anyone who is against us will be made ashamed because he can find nothing wrong to say about us.

bwe@Titus:2:10 @ They must not steal, but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them. In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good.

bwe@Titus:2:11 @ Gods loving kindness has come. It is through that blessing that all men are saved.

bwe@Titus:2:12 @ It teaches us to say no to the things that are not true of God, and to the things of this world. It teaches us to use good sense, to do what is right, and to please God while we live in this world.

bwe@Titus:2:14 @ Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.

bwe@Titus:3:7 @ He did this so that we can be put right with God, by his kindness. He did this so that we can become his children. So now we can look forward to everlasting life.

bwe@Titus:3:11 @ You know that such people are wrong and what they do is wrong. They themselves know that they are wrong. Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at the city of Nicopolis. I have planned to stay there while it is the cold time of the year.

bwe@Titus:3:13 @ Our people should learn to spend their time in doing good things to help people who are poor. In that way, our people will not waste their time. Greet those who believe as we do and who love us. God bless you all.

bwe@Philemon:1:5 @ I have heard that you love all of Gods people and that you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:6 @ You believe as I do. I ask God that he may help you to know more and more of every good thing that we have in Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:7 @ My brother, your love made me very glad and it comforted my heart. I know that Gods people were glad because you loved them.

bwe@Philemon:1:13 @...of the good news. That would...

bwe@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it. I do not need to tell you that you have your life because of what I did for you.

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:1:9 @...hated what is wrong. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all the angels spirits that help? They are sent out to help the people who will be saved.

bwe@Hebrews:2:1 @ That is why we must listen very carefully to the things we have heard. We must never forget them.

bwe@Hebrews:2:3 @ If that is so, then we will not get away without being punished. We will be punished if we forget or throw away this wonderful way to be saved. It was the Lord who first told people how to be saved. Then those who heard him told us the true way.

bwe@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also proved that it was the true way. He gave signs. He did things that surprised people. He did many things by his power. He gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit to people just as he wanted to.

bwe@Hebrews:2:5 @...them to rule over. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see Jesus! For a short time he was lower than the angels. Because he died, we see him made great and high. He did this so that he could die for every person. God is so good!

bwe@Hebrews:2:10 @ Everything was made for God and by God. It seemed good to him that Jesus life should be made complete, by going through the hard things that happened to him. This was because Jesus leads many people to heaven as Gods children. And he is the one who saves them.

bwe@Hebrews:2:11 @...one Father in heaven. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @...all have a body. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses did what he was told to do as a servant in all of Gods house. He showed things that God would say later.

bwe@Hebrews:3:8 @ That is what happened when the people tested me in the desert and I became angry.

bwe@Hebrews:3:10 @ So I was very angry with the people of that time. I said, "Their minds are always dark. They have not known my ways."

bwe@Hebrews:3:12 @ My brothers, take care that not one of you has a heart that does not believe. Such a heart will take you away from the living God.

bwe@Hebrews:3:13 @ But talk to each other every day while Today lasts, so that wrong ways will not fool any one of you and your hearts become hard.

bwe@Hebrews:3:15 @...your hearts hard. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:3:19 @ So then, we see that they could not go in because they did not believe him.

bwe@Hebrews:4:1 @ We still have Gods promise that people will go into his resting place. So let us take care that not one of you will be kept out.

bwe@Hebrews:4:3 @ But we who believe, will go into that resting place of God. It is as God said, When I was angry, I said, "They will never go into my resting place." He said this even though his work had been finished ever since he had made the world.

bwe@Hebrews:4:6 @ So that means some people will go in. But the people who first heard the good news about it did not go in. They did not believe it.

bwe@Hebrews:4:11 @ So let us do our best to go into that resting place. Those people died in the wilderness because they did not believe. So let us take care that the same thing does not happen to one of us.

bwe@Hebrews:4:12 @ Gods word is living and full of power. It is more sharp than any sword that cuts on both sides. What God says cuts through and divides the mind and spirit. It cuts through and divides the place where the bones are joined, and the part inside the bone. What God says is able to judge the things people think and plan in their hearts.

bwe@Hebrews:6:1 @ So, let us leave behind the first teachings about Christ. And let us go on to things that are grown up. We must not go back to the beginning again and talk about turning away from doing things that bring death to us. We must not go back again and talk about believing in God. Let us go forward.

bwe@Hebrews:6:6 @ If people who were like that leave their faith in Christ, they cannot come to God again. They themselves nail Gods Son up on the cross again. They are holding him up to shame before everyone.

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:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:6:17 @ God made a promise to people. He wanted to show them that he would surely do as he said. So he promised to himself to keep the promise.

bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @...was king of Salem. That means...

bwe@Hebrews:7:3 @ He has no father or mother. The names of the family from which he comes are not written down. It is not written down that he was born or that he died. But, like the Son of God, he stays on being a priest for ever.

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:7:11 @ It was while the sons of Levi were priests that the law was made for the people. If those priests were good enough, why would another priest need to come who was like Melchizedek? Why would he not be like Aaron?

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:7:16 @ He was not made a priest by law. The law said that the priest must come from a certain tribe. But he was made a priest because he has power to live for ever.

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:8:2 @ He is priest in the true holy place where God lives. The Lord made that place, man did not.

bwe@Hebrews:8:9 @ It will not be like the agreement that I made with their fathers. I made that agreement the day I led them by the hand out of the country of Egypt. But they did not keep their part of my agreement, so I left them alone, the Lord says.

bwe@Hebrews:8:13 @ God says this is a new agreement, and that makes the first one old. When a thing is old and no good, it is about ready to be thrown away.

bwe@Hebrews:9:5 @ On top of the box were the shapes of two angels. They showed that God is great. Their wings spread over the cover of the box. It was the place where God showed that he is kind. But we cannot take time to tell about every part of these things now.

bwe@Hebrews:9:8 @ This is how the Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to everybody. It was not open as long as the first house was still standing.

bwe@Hebrews:9:13 @ The priest takes the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes from a young cow that has been burned. He puts this on the people who have done wrong things. This makes their bodies clean.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:16 @ A person can say who will get his things when he dies. He writes this agreement down. Before anyone can have them, it must be proved that the person has died.

bwe@Hebrews:9:21 @ In the same way, he put some of the blood on the house he had made for God, and on all the things that were used in worship.

bwe@Hebrews:9:25 @ Christ did not have to offer himself as a sacrifice many times. He is not like the high priest who went into the Holy Place every year and took blood that was not his own blood.

bwe@Hebrews:9:27 @ People must die, and after that they will be judged.

bwe@Hebrews:10:1 @ The law can show only a little about the good things that are coming. It cannot show the good things themselves. People come to worship God. But the law can never make them all right by the same sacrifices that are brought every year.

bwe@Hebrews:10:3 @ But, by making these sacrifices, they show that they do remember the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:5 @ That is why Christ said when he came into the world, You did not want sacrifices and gifts. But you made a body for me.

bwe@Hebrews:10:6 @ Animals that are burned for sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away the wrong things that people do, did not satisfy you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:8 @ First he said, You did not want sacrifices and gifts, and animals that are given to be burned as sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away peoples wrong ways. You did not like them. These sacrifices are made to obey the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:9 @ Then he said, See, I have come to do what you want me to do. He took away the first kind of sacrifices so that the second kind would remain.

bwe@Hebrews:10:16 @ First he said, This is the agreement that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts. I will write them in their minds.

bwe@Hebrews:10:23 @ We must hold on to Gods promise that we have said we believed. And we must never let go. He has promised and he will do it.

bwe@Hebrews:10:27 @ But we will be judged, and that makes us fear. Gods anger will be like a very hot fire that will burn up those who are against him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any man who broke the law of Moses was killed, if two or three people proved that he had broken the law. He will not be forgiven.

bwe@Hebrews:10:29 @...the Son of God. That person...

bwe@Hebrews:10:34 @ You shared in the troubles of those who were in prison. When your things were taken from you, you were happy. You knew that you had better things in heaven, things that would always belong to you.

bwe@Hebrews:11:3 @ We believe in God, so that is how we know that God made the world by his word. The things we see were made out of things that cannot be seen.

bwe@Hebrews:11:4 @ Because Abel believed God, he made a sacrifice that pleased God more than the one Cain made. Because Abel believed God, God showed that he was good. God was pleased with his gifts. Abel died. But because he believed God, he still speaks to us through his faith.

bwe@Hebrews:11:5 @ Because Enoch believed God, he was taken up into heaven without dying. The people could not find him because God had taken him. Before he was taken up, the holy writings say that he pleased God.

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 @ God told Noah about things that would happen. These things had never happened before. Noah believed God; he respected God. He built a big house on a boat, and so his family was saved <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:11:12 @ Abraham was too old to be a father, but a great nation was born from that one man. They are as many as the stars in the sky and as the sands on the seaside. No man can count them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:16 @...a place in heaven. That is...

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:11:20 @ Isaac believed God. He gave Jacob and Esau blessings that were to come.

bwe@Hebrews:11:23 @ The father and mother of Moses believed God. When he was born, they hid him for three months because they saw that he was a very nice baby. They were not afraid of the kings orders.

bwe@Hebrews:11:25 @ He chose to have troubles along with Gods people. He thought that was better than the fun which he could have living a wrong life. The fun would last only for a short time.

bwe@Hebrews:11:28 @ He believed God and obeyed his law about the Passover Feast, and put blood on the door posts. He did this so that the angel who killed the oldest sons of the Egyptians, would pass over. Then he would not kill the oldest sons in the families of the Jews.

bwe@Hebrews:12:1 @ We have all these people all around us, proving to us that we should believe God. So then, like people running a race, we must take off everything that is heavy. We must put off all wrong, wrong things that get in our way. We must not stop running until we reach the mark that has been put in front of us.

bwe@Hebrews:12:5 @ You have forgotten the words spoken to you as sons. My son, when the Lord punishes you, do not think it is a little thing. Do not give up when he tells you that you do wrong.

bwe@Hebrews:12:12 @ So lift up your hands that are hanging down. Make your weak knees strong.

bwe@Hebrews:12:15 @ Take care that no one loses Gods blessing. Take care so that no angry feeling starts to grow in anyone. It will make trouble and many people will become bad.

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:17 @ You know that later he wanted to get the blessing, but he did not get it. He could not turn back. He even cried as he begged for the blessing.

bwe@Hebrews:12:18 @ You have not come to the mountain that can be touched and is burning with a big fire. You have not come to the place of darkness and night and storm.

bwe@Hebrews:12:19 @ You have not come to a place where a loud trumpet or horn is blown, and a loud voice is talking. When the people heard the voice, they begged that God would not say anything more to them.

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:12:26 @ That time his voice shook the earth. But now he has said, Only once more I will shake the earth and the sky also.

bwe@Hebrews:12:27 @ The words, Only once more mean that the things that are shaken will be taken away. They are things that were made. The things which are not shaken will stay.

bwe@Hebrews:12:28 @ We have a place in heaven that cannot be shaken. So let us be glad and worship God and please him. Let us respect and fear him.

bwe@Hebrews:12:29 @ Our God is a fire that can burn up.

bwe@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not listen to all kinds of different teaching and strange things. It is better to have a heart that is strong because of Gods blessing than a heart that is thinking about different kinds of food. Different kinds of food do not help people who put their trust in them.

bwe@Hebrews:13:11 @ The high priest takes into the Most Holy Place the blood of animals that are sacrificed. He gives it to God to pay for the wrong things people have done. The bodies of these animals are burned outside the town.

bwe@Hebrews:13:14 @ Here we do not have a city that will last for ever, but we are looking for the city that will come.

bwe@Hebrews:13:15 @...by talking about him. That is...

bwe@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good things for people, and to give what you have to those who need it. These are sacrifices that please God.

bwe@Hebrews:13:18 @ Talk to God about us. We know that what we do is right. We want to do what is right in every way.

bwe@Hebrews:13:19 @ Here is why I want very much that you talk to God about me. If you do, I will be free to come to you sooner.

bwe@Hebrews:13:20 @ God gives peace. He brought back our Lord Jesus from death. Our Lord Jesus cares for Gods people and he gave his blood for the agreement that stands for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:13:21 @ May God give you everything good so that you will do what he wants you to do. He will do in us, through Jesus Christ, what pleases him. Praise him for ever. May it be so!

bwe@Hebrews:13:23 @ I want you to know that our brother Timothy is free. If he comes here soon, I will come with him to see you.

bwe@James:1:3 @ You know this, that when you prove you believe, you become stronger to take troubles.

bwe@James:1:6 @ But when you ask, you must believe that God will do it. You must not doubt and think, Perhaps God will not do it. A person who doubts is like a wave on the sea. The wind drives it this way and that way.

bwe@James:1:7 @ That person must not think that he will get anything from the Lord.

bwe@James:1:8 @ A person like that has two minds. He cannot go straight in any of his ways.

bwe@James:1:12 @...will live for ever. That is...

bwe@James:1:14 @...heart which is wrong. That is...

bwe@James:1:18 @ He made us his children because he wanted us. He made us his children by giving us his true word. He made us his children so that we would be the first and best of all he made.

bwe@James:1:21 @ So stop all your dirty living. Stop doing so many wrong things. Listen quietly to the word that has been put in your hearts. It is able to save you.

bwe@James:1:25 @ But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free from their old ways. Anyone who looks into that law and remembers it, is happy because he obeys the law. He does not just listen to the law and forget it, but he obeys what the law says.

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:2:9 @ But if you think one man is better than another, that is wrong. The law says you are a bad person.

bwe@James:2:12 @ There is a law that makes people free. It is the law of showing kindness. Always talk and live like men who will be judged by that law.

bwe@James:2:14 @ My brothers, perhaps a man says, I believe. What good is that if he does not do anything? Can just believing save him?

bwe@James:2:16 @ Perhaps one of you says to them, God bless you. Be warm. Eat all you want. But what good is that if you do not give them what they need for their bodies?

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 @...there is one God. That is...

bwe@James:2:20 @ You are foolish! Believing is no good if it does not do anything good. Do you want to know that for sure?

bwe@James:3:1 @ My brothers, not many of you should be teachers. You know that we who teach will be punished more than other people.

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:3:8 @ But no one can tame the tongue. It is a bad thing that will not be ruled. It is full of poison that can kill.

bwe@James:4:1 @...fighting inside of you. That is...

bwe@James:4:4 @ You people promised God you would be true to him, but you did not stay true! Do you not know that if you love the world you hate God? Anyone who wants to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

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:4:6 @...even more than that. That is...

bwe@James:4:12 @ God made the law and he is the judge. And he is the one who can save you or kill you. Who are you that you should judge your neighbour?

bwe@James:4:13 @ Listen to me! You say, Today or tomorrow we will go to that town. We will stay there a year. We will buy and sell and get rich. But you do not know what will happen to you tomorrow.

bwe@James:4:16 @ But now you talk about the big things you will do. All that kind of talk is wrong!

bwe@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are all spoiled. The wrong in them will prove that you have done wrong. The wrong will burn you up like fire. You have kept all these things and now time is almost ended.

bwe@James:5:4 @...did not pay them! That money...

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:5:20 @ Do not forget that the person who has brought a man back from his wrong ways will save that man from death. He will cover up many wrong things and be forgiven.

bwe@1Peter:1:7 @ To believe is worth more than to have gold. Gold can spoil, but it is tested by fire to show that it is good. So troubles test you to prove that you believe. Then, because you really believe, you will be praised and made great and have honour when Jesus Christ comes again.

bwe@1Peter:1:11 @ The Spirit of Christ in them showed them that Christ would have troubles and after that he would be great. They tried to find out when these things would happen or how things would be when they did happen.

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:1:18 @ You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.

bwe@1Peter:1:19 @ You were bought with blood that is worth much. It is like the blood of a sheep that is perfect with nothing wrong in its body. You were bought with the blood of Christ.

bwe@1Peter:1:21 @ It is through Christ that you believe in God. God raised Christ from death and made him great. And that is why you are able to believe and hope in God.

bwe@1Peter:1:22 @ You have obeyed what is true and that has made your hearts clean. And now you really love your Christian brothers. So with your clean hearts, love each other very much.

bwe@1Peter:1:23 @...something that cannot die. That is...

bwe@1Peter:2:2 @...should want Gods word. That is...

bwe@1Peter:2:3 @ You should want Gods word if you have already tasted and know that the Lord is good.

bwe@1Peter:2:7 @ He is worth very much to you who believe in him. But some people do not believe in him. To them he is, the stone that the men who were building would not use. But now it is the chief stone at the corner.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:14 @ That is what God wants you to do. He wants you to do good things. By doing good things, you will stop foolish people from saying wrong things about you. They say wrong things about you because they do not know you.

bwe@1Peter:2:23 @ Christ in his own body took the wrong things we have done to the cross. He did this so that we would stop our bad ways and live right. Because he was punished, you were healed.

bwe@1Peter:3:2 @ They will see that you live holy lives and respect your husbands.

bwe@1Peter:3:4 @...is gentle and quiet. That will...

bwe@1Peter:3:10 @ The holy writings say,A man who wants to live and have good days must not say wrong things. He must not say anything that is not true.

bwe@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ died that once because of our wrong ways. He was good and he died for those who were bad. He did this to bring us to God. His body died, but his spirit had new life.

bwe@1Peter:4:3 @ In the time past you did the same things as people who do not believe God. Let that be enough. You did things you should be ashamed of. You did what you wanted to do. You got drunk. You got into fights. You took part in noisy feasting with dancing. You did wrong by worshipping idols.

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:4:6 @ That is why the good news was also told to those who are now dead. They will be judged like men who are alive. This was done so that they could live like God in the spirit.

bwe@1Peter:4:8 @ Here is something that matters very much. You must love each other very much. Love will cover up many wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:4:10 @...each person a gift. That gift...

bwe@1Peter:4:11 @ Has God blessed you by knowing how to talk? Then you should talk the words of God. Are you a helper? Then you should help with the strength God has given you. In all that you do, you should show that God is great through Jesus Christ. He has praise and power for ever. Yes, he has!

bwe@1Peter:4:12 @ My dear brothers, do not be surprised by the hard trouble like fire that comes to test you. Do not think some new thing is happening to you.

bwe@1Peter:4:16 @ But if a man suffers because he is a Christian, he should not be ashamed of it. He should praise God that he is a Christian.

bwe@1Peter:5:2 @ Take good care of Gods people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

bwe@1Peter:5:4 @ Christ the big Shepherd who takes care of all people is coming. When he comes, he will give you a crown to show that you are great. You will have it for ever.

bwe@1Peter:5:6 @ You are under Gods power. Do not be proud, so that at the right time he may put you into a higher place.

bwe@1Peter:5:9 @ Fight against the devil. Be strong because you believe. Remember that your brothers all over the world suffer the same kind of trouble as you.

bwe@1Peter:5:12 @ Silas has written this short letter for me. I believe he is a brother who can be trusted. I have written to help you and tell you the true way to have Gods blessing. Stand firm in that way!

bwe@2Peter:1:3 @ Christ is God and by his own power he has given us everything that we need to live and to please God. He has given this to us because we know him, and he has called us because he is great and good.

bwe@2Peter:1:4 @ Because of these things, he has promised us things that are worth very much and are very great. He has promised these things to us so that by them you may become like God too. By them you will be kept free from the selfish desires of the people in the world. These desires lead to death.

bwe@2Peter:1:9 @ But the man who does not do these things is like a blind man. He can see only a little way. He has forgotten that he was made clean from the wrong things he used to do.

bwe@2Peter:1:10 @ So my brothers, try to show that God has called you and chosen you. If you do these things, you will never fall.

bwe@2Peter:1:11 @ That will make it easy for you to go into the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. His kingdom will be for ever.

bwe@2Peter:1:12 @ I do want always to bring these things to your minds. I will do this even though you know them, and even though you are strong in the true way that you already have.

bwe@2Peter:1:14 @ I know that I will not live long now. Our Lord Jesus Christ has told me about that.

bwe@2Peter:1:15 @ But I will try to see that you have something to bring these things to your minds, even after I am gone.

bwe@2Peter:1:16 @ We have told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and that he is coming again. We did not tell you stories someone told us. We ourselves saw how great he is.

bwe@2Peter:1:17 @ God the Father praised him and showed that he is great. A voice came from the bright cloud and said to him, This is my Son. I love him and he pleases me very much.

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:2:6 @ God burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He punished them so that no cities were left. He did this to show what would happen to bad people.

bwe@2Peter:2:8 @ That good man lived among the bad people and he saw and heard what they did. Day after day, the bad things they did troubled his heart because he was a good man.

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:2:12 @ These people are like animals that cannot think. They are like animals that are born to be caught and killed. They say wrong things about things they do not understand. They will die like the animals.

bwe@2Peter:2:15 @ They have left the right road and have done wrong. They follow the same road that Balaam walked. He was the son of Beor. He loved the pay he would get for doing a wrong thing.

bwe@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are like wells with no water in them. They are like fog that is blown away by a strong wind. A very dark place has been kept to put them in.

bwe@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them that they will be free. But they themselves are slaves of death. A man is a slave of anything that rules over him.

bwe@2Peter:2:22 @ They show that this saying is true, The dog goes back to eat what his own stomach threw up! and, A pig that is washed rolls in the mud again!

bwe@2Peter:3:2 @ I want you to remember what Gods prophets said would happen. And I want you to remember what we apostles told you that our Lord and Saviour said.

bwe@2Peter:3:5 @ They do not want to remember that long ago God spoke and made the sky. He made the land come up from the water.

bwe@2Peter:3:7 @ The sky and the earth that are here now are being kept because God spoke. They are kept to be burned up. This will happen on the day when God judges people and they will die.

bwe@2Peter:3:11 @ That is the way the whole world will go. So think what kind of people you should be! Think how holy and true to God your lives should be!

bwe@2Peter:3:12 @ You should look for the day of God and do everything you can to make it come quickly. On that day the sky will be on fire and go away. The elements will burn and melt away.

bwe@2Peter:3:14 @ My dear brothers, you are looking for these things. So do all you can so that the Lord will find you without any bad or wrong thing in your lives. Let him find you at peace with one another.

bwe@2Peter:3:15 @ Think of this. He is waiting a long time so that people will be saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote these things to you, because God has made him wise.

bwe@2Peter:3:17 @ My dear brothers, you know about these things before they happen. Take care that you do not do the same things that bad people do. Take care that you do not stop believing the right way.

bwe@1John:1:2 @ This life came to earth. We saw him, and we know about him. And we tell you about this life that lives for ever. This life was with the Father and came to us.

bwe@1John:1:3 @ We tell you also what we have seen and heard. We tell you so that you also will belong with us. And we belong with the Father and the Son.

bwe@1John:1:4 @ We write these things to you so that we all will be very happy.

bwe@1John:1:5 @...we heard from him. That is...

bwe@1John:1:6 @ Do we say that we belong with him? And at the same time, do we live in the dark? Then what we say is not true, and what we do is not right.

bwe@1John:1:9 @ Let us tell God about our wrong ways. God can be trusted. He does what is right. He will forgive us for the wrong things we have done. He will make us clean from all that was wrong.

bwe@1John:1:10 @...is not true. That means...

bwe@1John:2:1 @ My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not do wrong things. But if anyone does something wrong, we have a Friend to help us. He speaks to God for us. He is Jesus Christ who does what is right.

bwe@1John:2:3 @ We can be sure that we know him when we obey his laws.

bwe@1John:2:5 @ But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.

bwe@1John:2:17 @ And the world will go away and all the things in it that people like to do. But the person who does what God wants him to do will live for ever.

bwe@1John:2:18 @...Christ have already come. That is...

bwe@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.

bwe@1John:2:20 @ But the Holy One has given you a gift of understanding so that you all may know what is true.

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:2:22 @...is not the Christ. That person...

bwe@1John:2:25 @ And he himself has promised us that we will live for ever.

bwe@1John:2:27 @...of understanding from Christ. That gift...

bwe@1John:2:28 @ Now, my children, stay with Christ. Then we will not be afraid on that day when we see him again. We will not be ashamed to stand before him when he comes again.

bwe@1John:2:29 @ You know that he does what is right. So you know also that everyone who does what is right is his child.

bwe@1John:3:2 @ My dear brothers, we are Gods children now. No one knows yet what we shall be like. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like him. We will see him as he really is.

bwe@1John:3:5 @ You know that Christ came to take away the wrong things people have done. He is the one who has done no wrong.

bwe@1John:3:8 @...wrong from the beginning. That is...

bwe@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have gone from death to life. We know this because we love the Christian brothers. Anyone who does not love them has not gone from death to life.

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:3:16 @...Christ died for us. That is...

bwe@1John:3:17 @ Perhaps a man has plenty of food and things. He sees that his brother needs some. If he does not want to help his brother, does he love God?

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:3:24 @...us the Holy Spirit. That is...

bwe@1John:4:2 @ Here is how you can know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that believes that Jesus Christ has come in the body of a man is from God.

bwe@1John:4:3 @...not belong to God. That is...

bwe@1John:4:4 @ My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world.

bwe@1John:4:5 @...belong to the world. That is...

bwe@1John:4:13 @...of his own Spirit. That is...

bwe@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and we are telling you that the Father sent his Son to save the people in the world.

bwe@1John:4:16 @ We know and we believe that God loves us. God is love. And anyone who loves others is in God and God is in him.

bwe@1John:4:17 @ That is why we love each other very much. Then we will not be afraid on the day when people are judged. We are like Christ in this world.

bwe@1John:4:18 @ Where Gods love is, there is no fear. Gods perfect love takes away fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear. Anyone who has fear does not have perfect love.

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:5:3 @ We show that we love God when we obey his laws. His laws are not hard to obey.

bwe@1John:5:5 @ Who wins a victory over the world? It is only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

bwe@1John:5:10 @ Anyone who believes in Gods Son believes what God says about him. Anyone who does not believe God shows that he thinks what God says is not true. He has not believed what God says about his Son.

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:5:13 @ I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God. I have written them so that you will know that you will live for ever.

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@1John:5:16 @ Maybe a man sees his brother do something wrong, but not so bad that he must die for it. The man should ask God and God will let his brother live. God will let people live if the things they have done are not so bad that they must die for them. But there are things so wrong that a person must die for them. If he has done such as that, I do not tell the man to ask God to let him live.

bwe@1John:5:17 @ Everything that is wrong is a bad thing. But not every bad thing is so wrong that a person must die for it.

bwe@1John:5:18 @ We know that any child of God does not do wrong things. The Son of God keeps him safe and the devil cannot touch him.

bwe@1John:5:19 @ We know that we belong to God and the whole world belongs to the devil.

bwe@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come. He has given us a heart to know him who is true. We belong to him who is true, because we belong to his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God. He has the life that will live for ever.

bwe@2John:1:4 @ I was very glad to find that some of your children are living in the right way. They are living the way the Father told us to live.

bwe@2John:1:7 @ Many men who fool people have gone out into the world. They believe that Jesus Christ did not come to live as a man with a body. These men belong to the one who fools people. He is against Christ.

bwe@2John:1:8 @ Watch out for yourselves! Do not lose what you have worked for, but receive all the reward that you should have.

bwe@3John:1:2 @ My dear brother, I ask God that you may be all right in every way and that your body may be well. I know that your soul is all right.

bwe@3John:1:3 @ I was very happy when the brothers came and told me that you have been true. They said you are really living the right way.

bwe@3John:1:4 @ Nothing can make me more happy than to hear that my children are living in the right way. My dear brother, when you help your Christian brothers in any way, even though you do not know them, you show that you do what you say you believe.

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:1:3 @ My dear brothers, I wanted very much to write to you and tell you how we all are saved. But then I saw that I must write and tell you to hold very strongly to what you do believe. Fight against those who want to change it. The right way to believe has been given to Gods people once for all times.

bwe@Jude:1:4 @ Some men have come in quietly. They are bad men. The holy writings told us long ago that they would be punished. These men change the blessing of our God to do the wrong things they want to do. They show by their lives that they do not belong to Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord

bwe@Jude:1:6 @ Remember the angels also. Some of them did not keep the high place they had. But they left their home. God has them tied in chains for ever, and he is keeping them in a very dark place. He will keep them there until that big day when they will be judged.

bwe@Jude:1:7 @ Also Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities near them show what will happen. The people there had wrong ways of using sex and did wrong things that people should not do with each other. They were punished and are in fire that burns for ever. God did this to show what will happen to others.

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:1:12 @ These men spoil your love feasts. They are not afraid to eat and drink with you. They take care only of themselves. They are like clouds that do not give rain, and are blown around by the winds. They are like trees when their leaves are gone and they have no fruit. These trees are also dead because they have been pulled up by the roots.

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:1:15 @ He came to judge all people and to punish all the bad people for all the wrong things they have done. And he came to punish bad people for all the wrong things that they have said against him.

bwe@Jude:1:21 @ Keep yourselves in Gods love. Wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come and help you. He will give you life that will live for ever.

bwe@Jude:1:23 @ Pull them out of the fire and save them. There are other people to whom you must be kind, but be careful about it. But you must hate even the clothes that bad people have worn.

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:1:1 @ God showed these things to Jesus Christ to show to his servants. These are things that must happen soon. Then God sent his angel and showed them to John, his servant.

bwe@Revelation:1:2 @ John wrote down what God said and what Jesus showed to him. These words tell all that He saw.

bwe@Revelation:1:7 @...when they see him. That is...

bwe@Revelation:1:15 @ His feet shone like fine brass that has been made pure by fire. His voice was like the sound of much water flowing.

bwe@Revelation:1:19 @ So write what you have seen. Write the things that are now and the things that will happen after them.

bwe@Revelation:2:2 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you work hard and are patient. I know that you have nothing to do with bad men. You tested those who say they are messengers from God but are not. You proved that they are not true apostles.

bwe@Revelation:2:3 @ I know that you are patient and are strong for my names sake. And you have not given up.

bwe@Revelation:2:13 @ He says, "I know where you live. You live where Satan rules. But you keep my name and you have never said that you do not believe in me. You kept on believing in me even in the time of Antipas. He said he believed in me and was true to me. He was killed among you where Satan lives.

bwe@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things to say against you. You have some people there who believe the teaching of Balaam. He showed Balak how to trick the people of Israel and make them do wrong. They ate food that was given to idols, and they used sex wrongly.

bwe@Revelation:2:16 @ Stop! If you do not, I will come soon and I will fight against them with the long knife that comes from my mouth."

bwe@Revelation:2:19 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you love me, believe in me, work for me, and are patient. I know that you do these things more now than you did at first.

bwe@Revelation:2:20 @ But I have this to say against you. You let that woman named Jezebel keep on teaching. She calls herself a prophet of God but teaches my servants wrong things. She fools them to use sex wrongly and eat food that has been given to idols.

bwe@Revelation:2:23 @ I will kill her children. Then all the churches will know that I find out what is in a persons mind and heart. I will pay each one of you for the good or wrong things you have done.

bwe@Revelation:2:24 @ But some of you in Thyatira do not listen to that womans teaching. You have not learned what some people call the deep things of Satan. To you I say, I will put no other load on you.

bwe@Revelation:3:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Sardis: Here are the words of the one who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. He says, "I know what you do. People say that you are alive, but you are dead.

bwe@Revelation:3:2 @ Wake up! You still have a little life left in you. Make it stronger before it dies altogether. I have not seen you do anything that looked right to God.

bwe@Revelation:3:8 @ He says, "I know what you do. Look, I have opened a door in front of you. No one can shut it. I know that you do not have much power. But you have obeyed my word and you have never said you did not believe in me.

bwe@Revelation:3:9 @ Look! I will bring some people who belong to Satans group. They call themselves Jews, but they are not real Jews. They lie. Look, I will make them come and kneel down in front of you. They will know that I have loved you.

bwe@Revelation:3:11 @ I am coming again soon! Hold on to the faith which you have, so that no one will stop you receiving your reward in heaven.

bwe@Revelation:3:14 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Laodicea: Here are the words of the one whose name is Truth. What he says can be trusted. He is the one who began all that God made.

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:3:17 @ You say, I am rich and have many things. I need nothing. You do not know that you are in trouble and need help. You are poor. You are blind. And you have no clothes to wear.

bwe@Revelation:3:18 @ I tell you what you should do. You should buy from me gold that has been made clean by fire. Then you will be rich. And you should buy from me white clothes to wear. Then people will not see that you have no clothes, and you will not be ashamed. You should buy from me healing oil to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see.

bwe@Revelation:4:1 @ After this, I looked and saw a door open in heaven. I heard the same voice that I had heard before. It was like the sound of a horn or trumpet. It said, Come up here. I will show you the things that must happen after this.

bwe@Revelation:4:3 @ The one who sat on the throne looked very fine and bright. He looked like fine stones called jasper and carnelian. All around his chair was a rainbow that looked like a fine stone called emerald.

bwe@Revelation:5:8 @ And when he took the book, the four living beings and the twenty-four leaders kneeled down in front of the Lamb. Every one of them had a harp and a gold bowl. The bowls were full of incense that smelled very sweet when it was burned. These bowls are the words of Gods people when they talk to him.

bwe@Revelation:6:4 @ And another horse came out. It was red. The man who rode on it was allowed to take peace away from the earth, so that men would kill each other. The man who rode on it was given a long knife or sword.

bwe@Revelation:6:13 @ The stars in the sky fell to the earth. They fell like figs that are not ripe when the fig tree is shaken by a strong wind.

bwe@Revelation:7:1 @ After this, I saw four angels standing at four different places on the earth. They were holding back the winds coming from every way. They did this so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

bwe@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard that one hundred and forty-four thousand people were marked. They were from every tribe of Israel.

bwe@Revelation:7:9 @ After this, I looked and saw many people. There were so many that no person could count them all. They were from every country, tribe, nation, and language. I saw them standing in front of the throne and the Lamb. They wore white clothes and they had palm branches in their hands.

bwe@Revelation:7:15 @ That is why they are in front of Gods throne. They worship him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will keep them safe because he is with them.

bwe@Revelation:7:17 @ The Lamb who is in front of the throne will take care of them. He will guide them to the places where there is water that gives life. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

bwe@Revelation:8:4 @ The sweet smelling smoke of the burning incense went up at the same time as the prayer words of Gods people. They went up from the hand of the angel that was standing in front of God.

bwe@Revelation:8:9 @ Then a third of the sea became blood. A third of all things that lived in the sea died. A third of all the boats was broken.

bwe@Revelation:9:1 @ Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet. I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The key to the big hole that has no bottom was given to the angel.

bwe@Revelation:9:3 @ Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth like big grasshoppers. They were given the power to hurt people the way that scorpions do.

bwe@Revelation:9:10 @ The locusts had tails like scorpions that could strike people and hurt them for five months.

bwe@Revelation:9:11 @ The king of the locusts is the angel of the big hole that has no bottom. His name is Abaddon in the Jews language and Apollyon in the Greek language. (This means, the one who destroys.)

bwe@Revelation:9:17 @ I saw what the horses and the men that sat on them looked like. The bodies of the men were covered by pieces of iron that looked red like fire and blue, and yellow. The heads of the horses were like lions heads. Fire, smoke and dust came out of their mouths. The dust was sulphur which choked and killed people when it burned in the fire.

bwe@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three big troubles a third part of the people were killed. They were killed by the fire, smoke, and choking sulphur dust that came out of the mouths of the horses.

bwe@Revelation:10:2 @ In his hand he had a small book that was open. He put his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land.

bwe@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken, I was going to write down what they said. But I heard a voice from the sky that said, Do not tell what the seven thunders said. Do not write it down.

bwe@Revelation:10:5 @ The angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward the sky.

bwe@Revelation:11:6 @ These two men can stop the sky from raining all the days that they speak words from God. And they can turn the water into blood. They can bring all kinds of trouble to the earth as often as they want.

bwe@Revelation:11:7 @ There is a beast which is a wild animal in the big hole that has no bottom. When the two men have finished talking, the beast will come up out of the hole. It will fight with the men. It will win over them and kill them.

bwe@Revelation:11:13 @ At that time, the earth shook very much. A tenth part of the city fell down. Seven thousand people were killed by the shaking of the earth. The other people were very much afraid and they give glory to God in heaven.

bwe@Revelation:12:9 @ The dragon was thrown down. He was that old snake who is called the devil and Satan. He fools all the people in the world. He was thrown down to earth and his angels were thrown down with him.

bwe@Revelation:12:12 @ Heaven, and those who live in heaven, be glad because of it! Big trouble will come to the earth and sea! The devil has come down to you. He is very angry. He knows that he has only a short time!

bwe@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to earth, he troubled the woman to whom a baby boy had been born.

bwe@Revelation:13:1 @ Then I stood on the sand by the sea. I saw a wild animal come up out of the sea. The beast had seven heads and ten horns. On its horns were ten big crowns. On its heads it had names that did not respect God.

bwe@Revelation:13:5 @ The beast was given a mouth that spoke proud words against God. It was given power to rule for forty-two months.

bwe@Revelation:13:8 @...Lamb who was killed. That was...

bwe@Revelation:13:12 @...worship the first beast. That was...

bwe@Revelation:13:14 @ It fools the people who live on earth by the wonderful things which it has been given power to do, while the first beast looks on. It tells the people on earth to make an idol like the first beast that was cut by the big knife but lived.

bwe@Revelation:13:16 @...or on their foreheads. That means...

bwe@Revelation:14:3 @ They were singing a new song in front of Gods chief chair, in front of the four living beings and the leaders. No one could learn that song but the one hundred and forty-four thousand people. They have been bought from the earth.

bwe@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying across the sky. He had good news that will last for ever to tell the people who live on the earth. The good news is for every country, tribe, language, and nation.

bwe@Revelation:14:10 @...He is very angry. That person...

bwe@Revelation:14:11 @ The smoke of that fire goes up for ever and ever. Those who worship the animal and its idol, and anyone who takes the mark of its name, will get no rest day or night.

bwe@Revelation:14:18 @ And another angel came from the altar. He had power over fire. He called in a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp knife. He said, Take your sharp knife and gather the fruit that grows on the vine on the earth. Its fruit is ripe.

bwe@Revelation:14:20 @ It was outside the city that they pressed the fruit. Blood ran out of the place. It came up as high as the horses heads for about two hundred miles.

bwe@Revelation:15:1 @ I saw another big and wonderful thing in the sky. I saw seven angels who carried the seven big troubles. They are the last troubles. When these troubles have come, Gods anger is ended. 2I saw something that looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. And I saw those people who had won the fight against the beast, and its idol, and its mark, and the number of its name. They were standing on the sea of glass and they had the harps of God in their hands.

bwe@Revelation:15:3 @ Who will not respect and honour you and praise your name, Lord? You are the only one who is holy. People from all countries will come and worship you because they have seen that you are right and fair.

bwe@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured his bowl on the sea. It turned into blood like that of a person who has been killed. Everything in the sea that had life died.

bwe@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl on the big river Euphrates. Its water dried up so that a road was made ready for the kings to come from the east.

bwe@Revelation:17:3 @ Then the angel took me away in the Spirit to a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a red beast that had names against God written all over it. It had seven heads and ten horns.

bwe@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel asked me, Why are you surprised? I will tell you the secret meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and horns that carries her.

bwe@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was alive at one time, then it was dead. It will come up from the big hole that has no bottom and it will be killed. The people on earth will be surprised when they see the beast, because it was alive and then it was dead, and it comes alive again. These are the people who do not have their names written in the book of life from the time the world was made.

bwe@Revelation:17:11 @ The beast that was alive at the one time, and then was dead, is the eighth king. He is really one of the seven. He will be killed.

bwe@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet ruled. They will have power for one hour to rule with the animal.

bwe@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman whom you saw is the big city that rules over the kings on earth.

bwe@Revelation:18:1 @ After that I saw another angel coming down from the sky. He had much power. The bright light that shone from him lit up the earth.

bwe@Revelation:18:2 @ He called in a loud voice and said, The big city of Babylon has fallen down! It has fallen down! Bad spirits live in it. All bad spirits hide there. And all kinds of dirty birds that people hate hide there.

bwe@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from the sky that said, Come out of it, my people, so that you will have no part in the wrong things it does. Come out of it so that you will not have the big troubles it will have.

bwe@Revelation:18:7 @ It is proud of itself and has done wrong things. Give it that much trouble and crying. It says in its heart, "I am like a queen. I am not like a woman who has lost her husband. I will never know sorrow."

bwe@Revelation:18:12 @ They have many things to sell: gold, silver, fine stones, and pearls. They have linen clothes and blue cloth, silk cloth and red cloth. They have all kinds of sweet smelling wood. They have all kinds of things made of ivory. They have all kinds of things made of wood that costs much money, of brass, of iron, and of a stone called marble.

bwe@Revelation:18:14 @ The things that your heart wanted are gone from you. All your fine food and clothes are gone from you. You will never find them again.

bwe@Revelation:18:17 @ In one hour all your great riches are lost." And all the captains of the boats and all the seamen, the sailors, and all that do business on the sea stood away from it.

bwe@Revelation:18:18 @ They called out loud when they saw the smoke while it burned. They said, "What city is like that big city?"

bwe@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust on their heads and they called out loud. They cried and were sad. They said, "How terrible for that big city! All the men who had boats on the sea became rich because it was rich. In one hour it is all lost."

bwe@Revelation:18:24 @ The blood of prophets and of Gods people and of all who have been killed on earth was found in that city.

bwe@Revelation:19:13 @ He wore clothes that had been dipped in blood. His name is The Word of God.

bwe@Revelation:19:15 @ A long knife or sword comes from his mouth. With it he will punish and control the people of the nations. He will rule them with an iron stick.

bwe@Revelation:20:3 @ Then the angel threw him into the big hole that has no bottom. He shut it and locked him in. He did this so that the devil would not fool the nations again until the end of the thousand years. After that, the devil will be let free for a short time.

bwe@Revelation:20:10 @ The devil who fooled them was thrown into the big fire which burns with dust that chokes people. The animal, and the prophet who is not true, were already in the fire. They will have a very hard time day and night, for ever and ever.
