riversident@Mark:2:4 @ Not being able to bring him near, owing to the crowd, they opened the roof where he was, and when they had broken through it, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

riversident@Mark:2:8 @ Immediately Jesus, perceiving that they were inwardly reasoning in this way, said to them,

riversident@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately the man rose and took up his pallet and went out before all, so that they were astounded and gave praise to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

riversident@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office and said to him, He arose and followed.

riversident@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was reclining at table in Levi's house, and many tax collectors and sinners also reclined at table along with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

riversident@Mark:2:16 @ When the scribes and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "Can it be that he eats with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John as well as the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to Jesus, "Why is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Mark:2:23 @ It happened on a Sabbath day that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began, as they walked, to pluck the heads of grain.

riversident@Mark:3:1 @ HE went another time into the synagogue and there was present a man with a withered hand.

riversident@Mark:3:5 @ He looked round on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, He stretched the hand out and it was completely restored.

riversident@Mark:3:8 @ and from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:10 @ For he healed many, so that all that had diseases crowded around him to touch him.

riversident@Mark:3:15 @ and to have authority to cast out demons.

riversident@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot,

riversident@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Jesus came into a house

riversident@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him, and by the Chief of the demons he casts out demons."

riversident@Mark:3:30 @ This he said because they said, "He has an impure spirit."

riversident@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him when some one said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want you."

riversident@Mark:4:1 @ AGAIN Jesus began to teach beside the lake, and a very great crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat on the lake and sat down, and all the crowd was on the shore near the lake.

riversident@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone, his close friends and the twelve asked him about the illustrations.

riversident@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations he went on talking to them as they were able to listen;

riversident@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with them.

riversident@Mark:4:37 @ Then a heavy squall of wind came up and the waves beat into the boat so that it was filling.

riversident@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern asleep on the cushion. They aroused him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

riversident@Mark:4:39 @ When he awoke, he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

riversident@Mark:4:40 @ Then he asked them,

riversident@Mark:5:1 @ THEY came to the other side of the lake, to the land of the Gerasenes.

riversident@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart and the fetters broken in pieces by him, and no one was strong enough to tame him.

riversident@Mark:5:5 @ All night and all day long he was in the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and cutting himself with stones.

riversident@Mark:5:9 @ Jesus asked him, He replied, "Legion is my name, for we are many."

riversident@Mark:5:11 @ There was on the mountain-side a great herd of swine feeding,

riversident@Mark:5:18 @ As Jesus was entering the boat, the man who had been demoniac begged him to let him stay with him.

riversident@Mark:5:20 @ So he went away and began to make known in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

riversident@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side of the lake, a great crowd gathered around him as he stood on the shore.

riversident@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the directors of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, and as soon as he saw Jesus he fell at his feet

riversident@Mark:5:25 @ There was a woman who had for twelve years had a hemorrhage

riversident@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the hemorrhage ceased and she knew in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

riversident@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus was at once conscious that power had gone from him, and turned in the crowd and said,

riversident@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples replied, "You see the people crowding you, and do you ask,

riversident@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue Director and told him, "Your daughter is dead; why annoy the teacher any longer?"

riversident@Mark:5:40 @ But they laughed at him. Then he put them all out and took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went in where the child was.

riversident@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the little girl rose up and walked around. She was twelve years old. They were utterly amazed.

riversident@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue. Many who heard were astonished and said, "Where did he get this, and what is this wisdom with which he is gifted? How are such deeds of power done by his hands?

riversident@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" So they fell into mistake regarding him.

riversident@Mark:6:5 @ There he was unable to do any work of power, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:6 @ Their lack of faith astonished him. He made a circuit through the villages, teaching.

riversident@Mark:6:13 @ and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:14 @ The name of Jesus was so much talked about that King Herod heard of it. Some were saying, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works are done by him."

riversident@Mark:6:16 @ But Herod, when he heard about him, said, "John, the man whom I beheaded, has risen again."

riversident@Mark:6:17 @ Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

riversident@Mark:6:19 @ Herodias hated him and wished to kill him, but was unable to do so,

riversident@Mark:6:20 @ because Herod reverenced John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When Herod heard John, he was much perplexed, and yet he was glad to listen to him.

riversident@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came for Herodias when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast to his high officials and military officers and the leading men of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:6:22 @ Then the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and his guests. The King said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you will and I will give it to you."

riversident@Mark:6:23 @ He swore, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to the half of my kingdom."

riversident@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptizer."

riversident@Mark:6:26 @ This made the King very sorry, but on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to refuse her.

riversident@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus landed, he saw a great crowd, and he was filled with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began and taught them many things.

riversident@Mark:6:35 @ By this time it was late in the day, and his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the hour is already late.

riversident@Mark:6:38 @ He asked, When they had ascertained they said, "Five, and there are two fishes."

riversident@Mark:6:39 @ Then he told them to have all the people recline in groups on the green grass.

riversident@Mark:6:43 @ and they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces of the bread, besides portions of the fishes.

riversident@Mark:6:45 @ Jesus immediately had his disciples get into the boat and cross before him to Bethsaida while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Mark:6:47 @ When evening had fallen, the boat was half across the lake and he was alone on the land.

riversident@Mark:6:48 @ He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake and he seemed to be going past them.

riversident@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought that it was a ghost and cried out.

riversident@Mark:6:52 @ for they had not grasped the miracle of the loaves because their minds were dull.

riversident@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

riversident@Mark:6:55 @ and hurried over all that region and brought in the sick on pallets wherever they heard that he was.

riversident@Mark:6:56 @ Whenever he went into villages or towns or among the farms they would lay the sick in the streets and beg him to let them touch at least the tassel of his cloak. And all who touched were healed.

riversident@Mark:7:2 @ and they saw that some of his disciples were eating bread with "common," that is, unwashed, hands.

riversident@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews never eat without first washing their hands up to the wrist, holding faithfully to the tradition of their forefathers,

riversident@Mark:7:4 @ and when they return from market they do not eat until they have washed. There are also many other traditions which they have been taught to hold tenaciously, such as washing cups and pitchers and copper vessels.

riversident@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our fore-fathers? Why do they eat their bread with common hands?"

riversident@Mark:7:17 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked about his figurative language.

riversident@Mark:7:25 @ At once a woman whose daughter was afflicted by an impure spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

riversident@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

riversident@Mark:7:33 @ He took him aside from the crowd, put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue with spit.

riversident@Mark:7:35 @ and his ears were opened, and immediately his tongue was freed and he talked plainly.

riversident@Mark:7:37 @ for they were astonished beyond all bounds and said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

riversident@Mark:8:1 @ IN those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them, They said, "Seven."

riversident@Mark:8:8 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up of the fragments that were left over seven basketfuls.

riversident@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, in order to test him.

riversident@Mark:8:23 @ Taking hold of the blind man's hand, he led him out of the village. Then, after spitting in his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him,

riversident@Mark:8:25 @ Again Jesus put his hand on his eyes, and he looked and was restored and saw everything clearly.

riversident@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went away with his disciples to the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the road he asked them,

riversident@Mark:8:29 @ He asked them, Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

riversident@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began and taught them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again.

riversident@Mark:9:8 @ Then suddenly as they looked around they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only, with themselves.

riversident@Mark:9:10 @ This command they kept, but debated among themselves what the rising from the dead was.

riversident@Mark:9:11 @ They asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

riversident@Mark:9:16 @ He asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:17 @ One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, He said, "From early childhood.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:25 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was rapidly increasing, so he rebuked the impure spirit with the words,

riversident@Mark:9:28 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

riversident@Mark:9:30 @ After leaving there, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish any one to know it.

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:33 @ They came to Capernaum. After entering the house, Jesus asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:34 @ They were silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves which was the greatest.

riversident@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name \'97 a man who does not follow us \'97 and we told him not to do it, because he does not follow us."

riversident@Mark:10:1 @ STARTING from there, he came into the land of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. Again the people crowded to him, and again as usual he was teaching them.

riversident@Mark:10:2 @ Some Pharisees came up and asked him, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?" They meant to catch him.

riversident@Mark:10:10 @ When they were in the house, his disciples asked him again about this.

riversident@Mark:10:14 @ When Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said,

riversident@Mark:10:17 @ While he was going out into the road, a man came running and knelt before him and asked, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said,

riversident@Mark:10:26 @ They were amazed beyond measure and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

riversident@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking in advance. Astonishment fell on them, and those who were following were fearful. Then again he took aside the twelve and began and told them what was going to happen to him.

riversident@Mark:10:35 @ James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

riversident@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (note:)the son of Timaeus(:note), a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

riversident@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Son of David, Jesus, pity me!"

riversident@Mark:10:50 @ He, throwing aside his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus.

riversident@Mark:11:11 @ He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts. After inspecting everything, because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:11:12 @ On the next morning, after they had left Bethany, he was hungry,

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:15 @ They came to Jerusalem, and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

riversident@Mark:11:20 @ As they were passing by early in the morning they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

riversident@Mark:11:21 @ Peter, calling to mind, said to him, "Rabbi, see, the fig tree that you cursed has withered up."

riversident@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking about in the Temple courts, the high priests and the scribes came to him

riversident@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, 'From men,' \'97 they feared the people, for all regarded John as really a prophet.

riversident@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, They were astonished at him.

riversident@Mark:12:18 @ Then there came to him some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him,

riversident@Mark:12:22 @ None of the seven left any child. Last of all the woman died also.

riversident@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection when they rise again whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

riversident@Mark:12:28 @ Then came one of the scribes, and, after listening to their discussion and knowing that he had answered them well, asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

riversident@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength and to love one's neighbor as one's self is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

riversident@Mark:12:35 @ Then Jesus asked, while teaching in the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:12:41 @ Having seated himself across from the contribution box, he was watching how the crowd dropped money into the box. Many rich people were dropping in large gifts.

riversident@Mark:13:1 @ AS he was going out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings!"

riversident@Mark:13:3 @ Then, when he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the Temple buildings, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

riversident@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to come to pass?"

riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

riversident@Mark:14:2 @ For they said, "Not at the feast; there might be a popular outbreak."

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the high priests to betray him to them.

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went and entered the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Mark:14:18 @ As they were reclining and eating, he said,

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

riversident@Mark:14:51 @ There was a young man following him who had thrown a linen cloth around his naked body. They seized him,

riversident@Mark:14:53 @ They led Jesus away to the High Priest, and all the high priests and elders and scribes assembled.

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his impious words. How does it appear to you?" They all condemned him as deserving of death.

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:66 @ While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the High Priest came,

riversident@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him,

riversident@Mark:15:4 @ Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many charges they are making against you."

riversident@Mark:15:6 @ It was customary that at every feast he should release some one prisoner at their request.

riversident@Mark:15:7 @ There was a man called Barabbas in chains among those insurrectionaries who in the insurrection had committed murder.

riversident@Mark:15:8 @ The crowd advanced and began asking him to do as he was accustomed to do for them.

riversident@Mark:15:9 @ Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that it was on account of envy that the high priests had handed him over.

riversident@Mark:15:11 @ But the high priests incited the crowd to have him rather set free Barabbas for them.

riversident@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate again asked, "What, then, shall I do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:14 @ But Pilate said to them, "What has he done that was wrong?" But they shouted violently, "Crucify him!"

riversident@Mark:15:15 @ Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set free Barabbas for them and after scourging Jesus handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion.

riversident@Mark:15:21 @ They impressed a man who was passing by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country (note:)the father of Alexander and Rufus(:note), to carry his cross.

riversident@Mark:15:24 @ Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, casting lots what part each should take.

riversident@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

riversident@Mark:15:26 @ The statement of his crime was written up over him:

riversident@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by scoffed at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha, you who can pull down the Temple and build it up in three days,

riversident@Mark:15:37 @ But Jesus uttered a loud cry and ceased to breathe.

riversident@Mark:15:38 @ Then the curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

riversident@Mark:15:39 @ When the Centurion who was standing facing him saw that he expired in this way, he exclaimed, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Mark:15:41 @ who when he was in Galilee used to follow him and wait on him, and there were many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

riversident@Mark:15:42 @ It was now late in the afternoon and, since it was Preparation Day, that is the day before the Sabbath,

riversident@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea, a councilor of high standing, who himself was looking for the kingdom of God, took courage to go in to Pilate and ask for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered whether he was already dead, but he called in the Centurion and asked him whether Jesus had been long dead.

riversident@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where Jesus was laid.

riversident@Mark:16:1 @ WHEN the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought perfumes to go and anoint him.

riversident@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was very large.

riversident@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has risen. He is not here. This is the place where they laid him.

riversident@Mark:16:7 @ But go tell his disciples and Peter, He has gone before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you."

riversident@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the morning of the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

riversident@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him as they were grieving and lamenting.

riversident@Mark:16:11 @ But they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe her.

riversident@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking into the country.

riversident@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at table, and reproached them for their lack of faith and dullness of mind because they had not believed those who had seen him since his resurrection.

riversident@Mark:16:19 @ Then the Lord Jesus, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God.

riversident@Luke:1:1 @ INASMUCH as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative of those facts which are firmly believed among us,

riversident@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses and who became bearers of the message handed them down to us;

riversident@Luke:1:3 @ it has seemed good to me also \'97 since I have followed everything from the beginning accurately \'97 to write a consecutive account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

riversident@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, King of Judaea, a certain priest by the name of Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

riversident@Luke:1:8 @ It happened that as Zacharias was performing his priestly duties before God in the order of his course,

riversident@Luke:1:10 @ All the congregation of people was in prayer outside, at the hour of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:12 @ Zacharias, on seeing him, was alarmed and fear fell upon him.

riversident@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you will call his name John.

riversident@Luke:1:18 @ Zacharias said to the angel, "By what proof shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

riversident@Luke:1:20 @ And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that this comes to pass, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

riversident@Luke:1:21 @ The people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his staying so long in the Temple.

riversident@Luke:1:25 @ "So has the Lord done for me in the days in which he has looked upon me to take away my reproach among men."

riversident@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

riversident@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The name of the virgin was Mary.

riversident@Luke:1:29 @ But she was alarmed at his words, and wondered what such a greeting could mean.

riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.

riversident@Luke:1:36 @ And, indeed, Elizabeth your relative, even she, has conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

riversident@Luke:1:39 @ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill-country to a city of Judah,

riversident@Luke:1:40 @ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:41 @ When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

riversident@Luke:1:48 @ Because he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaid. Indeed, from this time all generations will call me blessed.

riversident@Luke:1:49 @ Because the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

riversident@Luke:1:52 @ He casts down princes from their thrones and raises up the lowly.

riversident@Luke:1:55 @ just as he promised our fathers, Abraham and his descendants, forever."

riversident@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias.

riversident@Luke:2:15 @ When the angels went away into heaven, the shepherds spoke to one another: "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."

riversident@Luke:2:16 @ So they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

riversident@Luke:2:18 @ All who heard it wondered at what was said to them by the shepherds.

riversident@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as it had been told them.

riversident@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave praise to God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us and God has visited his people."

riversident@Luke:7:29 @ (All the people, even the tax collectors when they heard him, had confessed that God was right by being baptized with the baptism of John.

riversident@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees kept asking him to dine with him. Entering the house of this Pharisee, he reclined at the table.

riversident@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a certain woman in the city, a sinner, and when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment

riversident@Luke:7:38 @ and took her place behind, beside his feet, weeping. Her tears began to rain down on his feet, and with the hair of her head she wiped them off, and she passionately kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

riversident@Luke:8:1 @ SHORTLY afterwards he was making his way through cities and villages preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,

riversident@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women who had been relieved of evil spirits and infirmities \'97 Mary, who was called Magdalene, out of whom seven demons had gone,

riversident@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's manager, and Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their means.

riversident@Luke:8:4 @ When a great multitude was coming together and some from every city were crowding upon him, he spoke to them with an illustration:

riversident@Luke:8:9 @ His disciples kept asking him what the illustration meant.

riversident@Luke:8:19 @ His mother and his brothers came where he was, but could not get to him on account of the crowd.

riversident@Luke:8:20 @ It was told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wishing to see you."

riversident@Luke:8:23 @ While they were sailing he fell asleep. A gale of wind came down on the lake and the boat was filling and in peril.

riversident@Luke:8:24 @ Coming to him, they awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are going down!" He awoke and rebuked the wind and the waves. They grew quiet and there was a calm.

riversident@Luke:8:26 @ They sailed to the land of the Gerasenes, which is across from Galilee.

riversident@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and, though he was bound with chains and fetters and kept under guard, yet bursting his chains he would be driven by the demon off into the wilds.

riversident@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.

riversident@Luke:8:32 @ There was near by a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. The demons begged him to permit them to go into the swine. He gave them leave.

riversident@Luke:8:37 @ Whereupon all the crowd from the region of the Gerasenes asked him to go away from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.

riversident@Luke:8:40 @ As Jesus came back, a crowd welcomed him, for all were expecting him.

riversident@Luke:8:41 @ There came a man by the name of Jairus \'97 he was a synagogue director. Falling at the feet of Jesus, he begged him to come to his house

riversident@Luke:8:42 @ because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going the crowds pressed around him.

riversident@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. At once her hemorrhage ceased.

riversident@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus said, All denied, and Peter said, "Master, the crowd is pressing upon you on every side."

riversident@Luke:8:47 @ The woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling and fell before him, and told before all the people why she had touched him and how she was instantly cured.

riversident@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking some one came from the Director's house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer."

riversident@Luke:8:53 @ They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

riversident@Luke:9:1 @ JESUS called together the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

riversident@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the Prince heard of all that was going on, and he was at a loss because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

riversident@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had abundance, and what was left over was picked up \'97 twelve baskets of fragments.

riversident@Luke:9:18 @ Once when he was praying alone, his disciples joined him, and he asked them,

riversident@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others that some one of the old prophets has arisen."

riversident@Luke:9:29 @ While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothing became radiant white.

riversident@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his passing which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:9:33 @ As they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.

riversident@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying it there came a cloud and over-shadowed them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud.

riversident@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice came, Jesus was there alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

riversident@Luke:9:37 @ On the next day, as they were coming down from the mountain, a great crowd met him,

riversident@Luke:9:40 @ I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

riversident@Luke:9:42 @ Even while he was coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

riversident@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this remark, and it was hidden from them so that they did not take it in, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

riversident@Luke:9:46 @ A dispute started among them as to which of them was greatest.

riversident@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew the question that was in their minds, and he took a little child and stood him beside himself.

riversident@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he is not following along with us."

riversident@Luke:9:51 @ As the days before his being taken up to heaven were passing, he set his face to go to Jerusalem

riversident@Luke:9:53 @ The Samaritans did not receive him because his face was toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:9:57 @ As they were traveling on the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Luke:10:1 @ AFTER this, the Master appointed seventy others and sent them out two and two before him into every city and place where he was soon to come.

riversident@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy returned with joy saying, "Master, even the demons are subject to us in your name."

riversident@Luke:10:27 @ He answered, " 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.'

riversident@Luke:10:38 @ As they journeyed, he entered a certain village. There a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.

riversident@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister called Mary who seated herself at the feet of the Master and was listening to his words.

riversident@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was busy and worried over a great deal of service. Coming to him she said, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work alone? Tell her to take hold with me."

riversident@Luke:10:41 @ But the Master answered her,

riversident@Luke:11:1 @ ONCE he was in a certain place praying. When he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

riversident@Luke:11:14 @ He was casting out a demon and it was dumb. After the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke and the crowds wondered.

riversident@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "By Beelzebul, the chief of the demons, he casts out the demons."

riversident@Luke:11:17 @ But he, knowing their reasonings, said to them,

riversident@Luke:11:27 @ While he was saying this a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, "Blessed was the womb that carried you and the breasts that you sucked!"

riversident@Luke:11:29 @ As the crowds were thronging about him, he began and said,

riversident@Luke:11:37 @ During his talk a Pharisee kept asking him to dine with him. He went in and reclined at table.

riversident@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee, seeing this, wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

riversident@Luke:11:39 @ The Master said to him,

riversident@Luke:12:1 @ MEANWHILE, as the myriads of the crowd were thronging together so that they trod down one another, he began and said to his disciples first,

riversident@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, "Master, do you intend this illustration for us or for all?"

riversident@Luke:12:42 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:13:10 @ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

riversident@Luke:13:11 @ And a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together and could not stand up straight.

riversident@Luke:13:13 @ and he laid his hands on her. Immediately she was straightened and gave glory to God.

riversident@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue Director, angry because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which work should be done. On those days come and be healed, but not on the Sabbath day."

riversident@Luke:13:15 @ The Master answered him,

riversident@Luke:13:17 @ As he said this, all his opposers were ashamed, and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things that he did.

riversident@Luke:13:22 @ He was journeying through the cities and villages teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:13:23 @ A man said to him, "Master, are there few that are saved?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:14:2 @ And there before him was a man who had dropsy.

riversident@Luke:17:5 @ The apostles said to the Master, "Increase our faith."

riversident@Luke:17:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:17:11 @ It happened that on his journey toward Jerusalem he was going through Samaria and Galilee.

riversident@Luke:17:12 @ As he was approaching a certain village, ten leprous men met him. They stood at a distance,

riversident@Luke:17:13 @ and, raising their voices, called, "Jesus, Master, have compassion on us."

riversident@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.

riversident@Luke:17:20 @ On being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:17:37 @ They said to him, "Where, Master?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:18:9 @ He gave also this illustration to some who trusted in themselves as being righteous and despised others:

riversident@Luke:18:18 @ One of the rulers asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:18:23 @ But he, on hearing this, became deeply sorrowful, for he was very rich.

riversident@Luke:18:31 @ Taking the twelve aside, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things, and what he said was hidden from them. They did not grasp the meaning of his words.

riversident@Luke:18:35 @ As he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

riversident@Luke:18:36 @ Hearing a crowd passing, he inquired what this was.

riversident@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, "Jesus, the Nazarene, is passing by."

riversident@Luke:18:40 @ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be led to him. When he had come up, Jesus asked him,

riversident@Luke:19:1 @ HE entered and was passing through Jericho.

riversident@Luke:19:2 @ In the city there was a man called Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich.

riversident@Luke:19:3 @ He was trying to see Jesus \'97 what he was like; but he could not on account of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

riversident@Luke:19:4 @ So running ahead he climbed up into a mulberry tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.

riversident@Luke:19:7 @ All who saw it grumbled, saying that Jesus was going in to stay with a sinner.

riversident@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."

riversident@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he added an illustration, because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of heaven was going to appear immediately.

riversident@Luke:19:32 @ Those who were sent went and found everything just as he had said to them.

riversident@Luke:19:34 @ They said, "The Master has need of it."

riversident@Luke:19:36 @ As he advanced, some spread their cloaks in the road,

riversident@Luke:19:37 @ and as he approached the descent of the Mount of Olives all the multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,

riversident@Luke:19:38 @ saying: "Blessed be he who comes as king, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the heights above!"

riversident@Luke:19:41 @ As he drew near and looked at the city, he wept over it,

riversident@Luke:19:47 @ He was teaching every day in the Temple courts. But the high priests and the scribes were bent on destroying him, and so were the first citizens.

riversident@Luke:20:1 @ ON one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the high priests and the scribes came up with the elders

riversident@Luke:20:6 @ and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

riversident@Luke:20:20 @ So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.

riversident@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.

riversident@Luke:20:26 @ They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.

riversident@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,

riversident@Luke:20:33 @ Now this woman \'97 whose wife will she be at the resurrection? For she was wife to the seven."

riversident@Luke:21:5 @ As some were speaking about the Temple buildings, how they were decorated with beautiful stones and votive gifts,

riversident@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when they are about to happen?"

riversident@Luke:22:1 @ THE Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

riversident@Luke:22:3 @ But Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve,

riversident@Luke:22:56 @ A maid saw him sitting near the light, and, looking hard at him, said, "This man was with him too."

riversident@Luke:22:59 @ About an hour later, another man asserted positively, "Truly this man was with him too, for he is a Galilaean."

riversident@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately while he was speaking the cock crew,

riversident@Luke:22:61 @ and the Master turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Master, how he had said to him,

riversident@Luke:22:64 @ and, after blindfolding him, they asked him, "Prophesy who it is that struck you."

riversident@Luke:22:66 @ When daylight came, the eldership of the people assembled, both high priests and scribes, and they led him to their council, saying,

riversident@Luke:23:1 @ THEN the whole assemblage arose and led him to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:3 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him,

riversident@Luke:23:6 @ Pilate, on hearing of Galilee, asked if the man was a Galilaean,

riversident@Luke:23:7 @ and when he learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem during those days.

riversident@Luke:23:8 @ Herod on seeing Jesus was much pleased because for a long time he had been anxious to see him on account of hearing about him, and he was hoping to see some miracle done by him.

riversident@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You have brought before me this man as one who misguides the people, and yet I, in examining him before you, have found in this man not one criminal thing of all that you charge against him.

riversident@Luke:23:15 @ No more has Herod; for he has sent him back to us. See, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.

riversident@Luke:23:16 @ So I will scourge him and release him."

riversident@Luke:23:18 @ But the whole crowd cried out together, "Put him out of the way and free Barabbas for us!"

riversident@Luke:23:20 @ Again Pilate spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:22 @ For the third time he said to them, "What wrong has he done? I have found nothing criminal in him. I will therefore scourge him and let him go."

riversident@Luke:23:23 @ But they insisted with loud voices asking to have him crucified, and their voices prevailed.

riversident@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that what they asked should be done.

riversident@Luke:23:25 @ He freed the man who for riot and murder had been thrown into prison \'97 the man they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

riversident@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the country, and laid on him the cross to bear behind Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:27 @ There followed him a great crowd of people and of women who were beating their breasts and bewailing him.

riversident@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus said, They divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Luke:23:38 @ There was a writing over him,

riversident@Luke:23:41 @ And we are here justly, for we are receiving our due for our deeds. But this man has done nothing wrong."

riversident@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about noon, and darkness came over all the land until three,

riversident@Luke:23:45 @ the sun being eclipsed. And the curtain in the Temple was torn in the middle.

riversident@Luke:23:46 @ Then Jesus said in a loud voice, After saying this, he breathed his last.

riversident@Luke:23:47 @ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, "Certainly this was an upright man!"

riversident@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds that had stood by looking on the scene, after seeing what happened, turned away beating their breasts.

riversident@Luke:23:50 @ There was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man

riversident@Luke:23:51 @ who had not participated in their plan and action. He was of Arimathaea, a city of the Judaeans, and was looking for the kingdom of God.

riversident@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:53 @ He took it down and wrapped it in fine linen and laid him in a tomb cut in the rock where no one was yet lying.

riversident@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day of Preparation and the Sabbath was about to begin.

riversident@Luke:23:55 @ The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed along and saw the tomb and how his body was laid,

riversident@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee

riversident@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them also told these things to the apostles.

riversident@Luke:24:15 @ It happened as they talked and discussed that Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them.

riversident@Luke:24:18 @ One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"

riversident@Luke:24:24 @ Some of our company went out to the tomb and found things as the women had said, but they did not see him."

riversident@Luke:24:28 @ They drew near to the village where they were going and he acted as if he were going on.

riversident@Luke:24:30 @ As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.

riversident@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

riversident@Luke:24:33 @ Then, rising that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their associates assembled

riversident@Luke:24:34 @ and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."

riversident@Luke:24:50 @ He led them out as far as Bethany and lifted up his hands and blessed them.

riversident@Luke:24:51 @ While he was blessing them he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

riversident@John:1:1 @ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

riversident@John:1:2 @ He was in the beginning with God.

riversident@John:1:3 @ All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being.

riversident@John:1:4 @ In him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

riversident@John:1:6 @ There came a man, sent from God. His name was John.

riversident@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

riversident@John:1:9 @ The true Light, which enlightens every man, was coming into the world.

riversident@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world had come into being through him, yet the world did not know him.

riversident@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

riversident@John:1:15 @ John bore witness to him and cried, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has become before me, for he was before me.' "

riversident@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

riversident@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has interpreted him.

riversident@John:1:19 @ This is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

riversident@John:1:21 @ They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

riversident@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

riversident@John:1:25 @ They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"

riversident@John:1:28 @ This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

riversident@John:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who has become before me, for he was before me.'

riversident@John:1:31 @ I did not know him, but I knew that he was to be shown to Israel. For that reason I came baptizing with water."

riversident@John:1:35 @ Again on the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

riversident@John:1:36 @ and, looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

riversident@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned and looked at them as they followed, and said to them, They said to him, "Rabbi (note:)which means, when translated, Teacher(:note), where are you staying?"

riversident@John:1:39 @ He said to them, So they came and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. It was then about four in the afternoon.

riversident@John:1:40 @ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard about Jesus from John and followed him.

riversident@John:1:44 @ Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

riversident@John:2:1 @ ON the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

riversident@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

riversident@John:2:9 @ and when the Master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from \'97 though the servants who had dipped out the water knew \'97 he called to the bridegroom

riversident@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will devour me."

riversident@John:2:21 @ But he was speaking of the temple of his body.

riversident@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did,

riversident@John:2:25 @ and had no need for any one to inform him about man, for he knew what was in man.

riversident@John:3:1 @ THERE was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews.

riversident@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus one night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

riversident@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was abundant water there. People were constantly coming and being baptized.

riversident@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony \'97 see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

riversident@John:3:27 @ John answered, "A man can assume nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

riversident@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

riversident@John:3:30 @ He must increase, but I must decrease."

riversident@John:3:32 @ What he has seen and heard, that he testifies to, yet no one accepts his testimony.

riversident@John:3:33 @ He who accepts his testimony has set his seal that God is true.

riversident@John:3:34 @ He whom God has sent speaks the word of God, for he does not give him the Spirit by measure.

riversident@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand.

riversident@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

riversident@John:4:1 @ WHEN the Master knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John \'97

riversident@John:4:2 @ though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples \'97

riversident@John:4:4 @ He had to pass through Samaria.

riversident@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon.

riversident@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

riversident@John:4:27 @ Upon this came his disciples, and they wondered that he was talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

riversident@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?"

riversident@John:4:33 @ The disciples said to one another, "Can it be that any one has brought him something to eat?"

riversident@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.

riversident@John:4:45 @ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast.

riversident@John:4:46 @ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

riversident@John:4:47 @ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, and he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death,

riversident@John:4:51 @ Even while he was going down, his servants met him with the word that his son was living.

riversident@John:4:52 @ He inquired of them the hour when he was better. They said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

riversident@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus had said to him, and he believed, himself and his whole household.

riversident@John:5:1 @ AFTER this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:5:5 @ There was a man there who had had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

riversident@John:5:9 @ At once the man became well and took up his pallet and began walking. That day was the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:12 @ They asked him, "Who is the man that told you,

riversident@John:5:13 @ The cured man did not know who it was. For Jesus had taken himself away, a crowd being in that place.

riversident@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

riversident@John:5:18 @ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only kept breaking the Sabbath, but even spoke of God as his own Father, making himself equal with God.

riversident@John:6:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went away beyond the Lake of Galilee (note:)the Lake of Tiberias(:note).

riversident@John:6:2 @ A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing upon those who had infirmities.

riversident@John:6:3 @ Jesus had gone up on the mountain and there he was sitting with his disciples.

riversident@John:6:4 @ It was near the time for the Passover, the feast of the Jews.

riversident@John:6:5 @ He lifted up his eyes and saw that a great crowd was coming to him, and he said to Philip,

riversident@John:6:6 @ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.

riversident@John:6:9 @ "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these for so many?"

riversident@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, There was much grass in the place. So the men, about five thousand in number, reclined on the ground.

riversident@John:6:11 @ Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks and divided them to those who were reclining, and in the same way the fishes, as much as they wanted.

riversident@John:6:13 @ They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

riversident@John:6:14 @ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

riversident@John:6:18 @ The lake was getting rough, as a strong wind was blowing.

riversident@John:6:22 @ On the next day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the lake saw that there had been no boat there but the one, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves

riversident@John:6:24 @ when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples either, they got into those boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

riversident@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "

riversident@John:6:64 @ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

riversident@John:6:71 @ He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For he was going to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

riversident@John:7:2 @ The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

riversident@John:7:10 @ After his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus himself went up, not openly, but somewhat privately.

riversident@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast and were saying, "Where is that man?"

riversident@John:7:13 @ Nobody, however, was talking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

riversident@John:7:14 @ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the Temple courts and began teaching.

riversident@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and said, "How does this man know books when he has never been educated?"

riversident@John:7:36 @ What does this assertion mean,

riversident@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out,

riversident@John:7:39 @ This he said referring to the Spirit which those who had believed in him were soon to receive. For as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

riversident@John:7:42 @ Does not the Scripture say that the Christ comes of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

riversident@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "Never any man spoke as this man speaks."

riversident@John:7:48 @ Can it be that any one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in him?

riversident@John:8:4 @ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.

riversident@John:8:7 @ As they kept on questioning him, he lifted himself up and said to them,

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple courts, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that he was speaking to them of the Father.

riversident@John:8:30 @ While he was speaking these things, many believed in him.

riversident@John:8:41 @ They said to him, "We were not born of unchastity. We have one father \'97 God."

riversident@John:9:1 @ AS he was passing by, Jesus saw a man who had been blind from birth.

riversident@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

riversident@John:9:7 @ and said to him, (note:)which means Sent(:note)." He went away and washed and came back seeing.

riversident@John:9:8 @ His neighbors and those accustomed to see him before, when he was begging, said, "Is not this the man that sat and begged?"

riversident@John:9:11 @ He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes and said to me, I went and washed and received my sight."

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw."

riversident@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them.

riversident@John:9:17 @ They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

riversident@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe the story that he was blind and recovered his sight, until they had called the parents of the man who had recovered his sight

riversident@John:9:19 @ and had asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how can he see now?"

riversident@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

riversident@John:9:21 @ But how he sees now we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself."

riversident@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue.

riversident@John:9:23 @ For this reason his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

riversident@John:9:25 @ The man answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know, I was blind and now I see."

riversident@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, "There is something wonderful in this. You do not know where he comes from, yet he has opened my eyes!

riversident@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

riversident@John:9:34 @ They answered him, "You were born in sin \'97 wholly; and are you teaching us?" and they cast him out.

riversident@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said,

riversident@John:10:6 @ This illustration Jesus gave to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

riversident@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

riversident@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"

riversident@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.

riversident@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in the Temple courts, in Solomon's Colonnade.

riversident@John:10:40 @ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there.

riversident@John:10:41 @ Many came to him and they said, "John did no sign; but all that John said about this man was true."

riversident@John:11:1 @ THERE was a certain man sick \'97 Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Master, he whom you love is sick."

riversident@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed where he was two days.

riversident@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

riversident@John:11:13 @ But Jesus had spoken of his death. They thought that he was speaking of the repose of sleep.

riversident@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too to die with him."

riversident@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

riversident@John:11:22 @ And now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

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

riversident@John:11:28 @ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

riversident@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:32 @ When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:34 @ and said, They said to him, "Master, come and see."

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days."

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You do not know anything

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:55 @ The Passover of the Jews was near and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:1 @ SIX days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:2 @ There they made a dinner for him. Martha waited on them, and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

riversident@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of pure nard perfume, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

riversident@John:12:4 @ Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was going to betray him, said,

riversident@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor?"

riversident@John:12:6 @ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and having the purse used to pilfer what was put into it.

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:12 @ On the next day the great crowd which had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

riversident@John:12:14 @ Jesus, finding a young ass, sat on it, as it is written,

riversident@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! Behold, your King comes, sitting on the foal of an ass!"

riversident@John:12:18 @ For this reason the crowd went to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.

riversident@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said among themselves, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone off after him."

riversident@John:12:20 @ There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.

riversident@John:12:21 @ These came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

riversident@John:12:29 @ The crowd that was standing there and heard said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."

riversident@John:12:33 @ This he said indicating by what death he was to die.

riversident@John:12:38 @ so that the word of Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled. Isaiah said, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

riversident@John:12:39 @ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

riversident@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples was leaning on Jesus' breast \'97 the one Jesus loved.

riversident@John:13:25 @ He, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, said to him, "Master, who is it?"

riversident@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, When he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

riversident@John:13:29 @ Some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

riversident@John:18:1 @ WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron to a place where there was a garden. Into this he entered with his disciples.

riversident@John:18:2 @ Judas who was betraying him knew the place, for Jesus often met with his disciples there.

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:16 @ Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple, who was known to the High Priest, went out and spoke to the girl at the door and brought in Peter.

riversident@John:18:40 @ They shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Barabbas was a robber.

riversident@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard that, he was more alarmed

riversident@John:19:9 @ and went into the Castle and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

riversident@John:19:10 @ Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"

riversident@John:19:12 @ After this, Pilate kept trying to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

riversident@John:19:14 @ It was the Preparation Day of the Passover, about noon. He said to the Jews, "See your king!"

riversident@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it up on the cross. It was written:

riversident@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

riversident@John:19:23 @ The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and there was his tunic besides. The tunic was seamless, woven from the top entire.

riversident@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots who shall have it." This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them and on my clothing they cast lots." The soldiers did this.

riversident@John:19:25 @ There were standing beside the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

riversident@John:19:29 @ A pitcher was standing there full of sour wine. Putting a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop stem, they raised it to his mouth.

riversident@John:19:31 @ The Jews, because it was Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great day, requested Pilate to have their legs broken to kill them.

riversident@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with him.

riversident@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness and his witness is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth in order that you may believe.

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:41 @ There was in the place where he had been crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had been laid.

riversident@John:19:42 @ There, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:2 @ She ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Master from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:11 @ Mary was standing by the tomb outside weeping. As she wept she stooped and looked into the tomb

riversident@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have carried away my Master and I do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:14 @ After saying this, she turned and saw Jesus standing, but did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have removed him, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away."

riversident@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Master," and she told that he had said these things to her.

riversident@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy on seeing the Master.

riversident@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), was not with them when Jesus came.

riversident@John:20:25 @ The other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

riversident@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas,

riversident@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

riversident@John:21:1 @ AFTER this, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Lake of Tiberias. He showed himself in this way.

riversident@John:21:4 @ When day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:21:6 @ He said to them, They cast, and now they could not draw it in for the multitude of fishes.

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:12 @ Jesus said, No one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master.

riversident@John:21:15 @ When they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:21:21 @ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "Master, what shall this man do?"

riversident@John:21:23 @ So the report went out among the brethren that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus did not say to Peter that he would not die, but,

riversident@Acts:1:2 @ down to the day when, after giving commands, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.

riversident@Acts:1:3 @ By many proofs he revealed himself to these men as still alive after his sufferings; for he was seen by them for forty days and spoke of things relating to the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:1:6 @ When they came together, they asked him, "Master, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

riversident@Acts:1:9 @ He said this and then, while they were looking on, he was taken up and a cloud lifted him from their sight.

riversident@Acts:1:10 @ They were gazing into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white robes were standing beside them

riversident@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking up into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you have seen him go into heaven."

riversident@Acts:1:13 @ When they came into the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. There were Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

riversident@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became guide to those who arrested Jesus.

riversident@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth."

riversident@Acts:8:34 @ The eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking \'97 of himself or of some one else?"

riversident@Acts:8:36 @ As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?"

riversident@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.

riversident@Acts:9:1 @ SAUL was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest

riversident@Acts:9:2 @ and asked from him letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that if he should find any persons who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:9:3 @ On his journey he was getting near to Damascus when suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him.

riversident@Acts:9:5 @ He asked, "Who is speaking?" The answer was,

riversident@Acts:9:8 @ Saul rose from the earth and opened his eyes, but he could see nothing. Taking him by the hand they led him into Damascus,

riversident@Acts:9:9 @ and he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

riversident@Acts:9:10 @ There was in Damascus a certain disciple named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, He answered, "Here I am, Lord."

riversident@Acts:9:13 @ Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard about this man from many people \'97 how many wicked things he has done to thy holy ones in Jerusalem,

riversident@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the high priests to bind all who call upon thy name."

riversident@Acts:9:17 @ Ananias went and entered the house and put his hands on Saul, and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me \'97 Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming \'97 that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Acts:9:18 @ Immediately scales seemed to fall from his eyes and he could see, and he arose and was baptized,

riversident@Acts:9:19 @ and after taking food he regained his strength. Saul passed some days with the disciples who were in Damascus,

riversident@Acts:9:20 @ and at once he began to proclaim in the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God.

riversident@Acts:9:21 @ All who heard him were astonished and said, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem persecuted those who call on this name, and who came here for the very purpose of binding and taking them to the high priests?"

riversident@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul grew stronger and put to confusion the Jews who lived at Damascus, as he proved that this man was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:9:23 @ When a number of days had passed, the Jews plotted to put him out of the way,

riversident@Acts:9:25 @ But the disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

riversident@Acts:9:26 @ When Saul reached Jerusalem, he tried to attach himself to the disciples, but all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

riversident@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to him, and how courageously he had spoken in Damascus in the name of Jesus.

riversident@Acts:9:28 @ After that Saul was with them in Jerusalem, going out and in

riversident@Acts:9:31 @ So the church had peace throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and was built up, and advancing in the reverence of the Lord and by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit grew continually in numbers.

riversident@Acts:9:32 @ It happened that Peter, while passing about among all the holy, came down also to those who were dwelling at Lydda.

riversident@Acts:9:33 @ He found there a man named Aeneas who had been for eight years lying on a pallet, for he was a paralytic.

riversident@Acts:9:34 @ Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ is healing you. Rise up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.

riversident@Acts:9:36 @ In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (note:)in Greek Dorcas, Gazelle(:note). She abounded in good works and acts of kindness which she was accustomed to do.

riversident@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near to Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him begging him, "Do not delay to come on down to us."

riversident@Acts:9:39 @ Peter arose and went along with them. On his arrival they took him up to the room. All of the widows came around him wailing and showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

riversident@Acts:10:1 @ THERE was in Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the battalion called the Italian cohort.

riversident@Acts:10:2 @ He was a pious man, reverencing God with all his household, doing many acts of charity to the people and praying to God constantly.

riversident@Acts:10:4 @ He gazed at him in alarm and asked, "What is it, my Lord?" The angel said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts of charity have come up as an evidence before God.

riversident@Acts:10:5 @ Now send men to Joppa and ask for a man named Simon, who is called Peter.

riversident@Acts:10:6 @ He is the guest of a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."

riversident@Acts:10:9 @ On the next day, while they were on the road and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray. It was about noon.

riversident@Acts:10:16 @ This happened a third time, and then immediately the sheet was taken up into the heavens.

riversident@Acts:10:17 @ Peter was thinking this over and was at a loss what the vision meant. Just then the men who had been sent by Cornelius, after inquiring for the house of Simon, came to the door

riversident@Acts:10:18 @ and called to know whether Simon called Peter was a guest there.

riversident@Acts:10:19 @ While Peter was debating with himself about the vision, the Spirit said, "Here are two men looking for you.

riversident@Acts:10:21 @ Peter went down and said to the men, "Here I am \'97 the man you are looking for. What is the reason for your coming?"

riversident@Acts:10:22 @ They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to listen to your words."

riversident@Acts:10:24 @ On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had assembled his relatives and his close friends.

riversident@Acts:10:25 @ As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and falling at his feet did him reverence.

riversident@Acts:10:27 @ Conversing with him Peter entered the house and found many people assembled.

riversident@Acts:10:28 @ He said to them, "You understand that it is against our Law for a Jew to be closely associated with a Gentile or to visit him. But God has taught me not to call any person common or unclean.

riversident@Acts:10:29 @ Therefore when I was sent for I came without making any objection. So now I ask, For what reason have you sent for me?"

riversident@Acts:10:30 @ Cornelius said, "Four days ago, at this hour, I was offering the three o'clock prayer in my house, when suddenly a man stood before me in shining dress

riversident@Acts:10:31 @ and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your gifts of charity have been remembered before God.

riversident@Acts:10:33 @ Immediately I sent to you and you have done well in coming. Now here we all are in God's presence to hear all that the Lord has commanded you."

riversident@Acts:10:36 @ As to the message which he sent to the children of Israel telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ \'97 who is Lord of all \'97

riversident@Acts:10:38 @ You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were harassed by the Devil, for God was with him.

riversident@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to his message.

riversident@Acts:10:45 @ All the believers who were of the circumcision who had come along with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles,

riversident@Acts:10:47 @ "Can any one forbid water for the baptism of these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"

riversident@Acts:10:48 @ And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain there a few days.

riversident@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa and was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something like a great sheet was descending, lowered from heaven by the four corners, and it came to where I was.

riversident@Acts:11:6 @ I looked at it attentively and saw the fourfooted animals of the earth and the wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of the air.

riversident@Acts:11:8 @ I said, 'By no means, Lord, for never has anything common or unclean entered my mouth.'

riversident@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times and then everything was drawn up again into heaven.

riversident@Acts:11:15 @ When I began speaking the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as on us at the beginning,

riversident@Acts:11:17 @ If then God gave to them the same gift that he gave to us on believing in the Lord Jesus, who was I that I could oppose God?"

riversident@Acts:11:18 @ On hearing this they ceased their criticism and gave glory to God, saying, "Then even to the Gentiles God has granted the change of heart that leads to life."

riversident@Acts:11:19 @ Those who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message to none but Jews.

riversident@Acts:11:21 @ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number believed and turned to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:22 @ Word came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem regarding these men, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

riversident@Acts:11:23 @ When he arrived and saw the grace of God he was delighted, and he encouraged all to be firmly faithful to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:24 @ For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. A considerable number were added to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:11:25 @ Barnabas went away to Tarsus to look up Saul,

riversident@Acts:11:26 @ and upon finding him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large company, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called "Christians."

riversident@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus arose and foretold through the Holy Spirit that a great famine was going to occur over all the inhabited world. (note:)It happened in the time of Claudius.(:note)

riversident@Acts:11:30 @ This they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

riversident@Acts:12:3 @ Seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.

riversident@Acts:12:4 @ He seized him and put him in prison, committing him to four guards of four soldiers each for safe keeping, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

riversident@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was under guard in the prison. But prayer was continually made by the church to God for him.

riversident@Acts:12:6 @ On the very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains, and guards before the door were watching the prison.

riversident@Acts:12:7 @ Suddenly an angel of the Lord was there. Light shone in the cell. Striking Peter's side he woke him, saying, "Rise up quickly." His chains fell off his hands.

riversident@Acts:12:9 @ Peter came out and followed along, not knowing whether what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was seeing a vision.

riversident@Acts:12:10 @ After passing the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city. This opened for them of its own accord and they went out and went along one street. Then suddenly the angel left him.

riversident@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel and has delivered me out of the hands of Herod, and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

riversident@Acts:12:12 @ So understanding the situation, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John called Mark, where a number were assembled and were praying.

riversident@Acts:12:14 @ and when she recognized Peter's voice, without opening the door, she ran for joy and told them that Peter was standing at the door.

riversident@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, "You are insane." But she was positive that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."

riversident@Acts:12:18 @ When day came there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

riversident@Acts:12:20 @ Herod had a bitter feud with the Tyrians and Sidonians. But they came to him with one mind, and having won over Blastus, the King's chamberlain, they begged for peace, because their country depended for its food supply on the King's country.

riversident@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and expired.

riversident@Acts:12:25 @ Barnabas and Saul after fulfilling their mission returned from Jerusalem, bringing along with them John, surnamed Mark.

riversident@Acts:13:1 @ THERE were in Antioch among the members of the church several prophets and teachers \'97 Barnabas, and Symeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manaen (note:)a companion in childhood of Prince Herod(:note) and Saul.

riversident@Acts:13:2 @ As they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

riversident@Acts:13:3 @ Then, after fasting and praying and laying their hands upon them, they sent them off.

riversident@Acts:13:4 @ Sent out in this way by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul went down to Seleucia and from there sailed for Cyprus.

riversident@Acts:13:5 @ Arriving at Salamis they announced God's message in the synagogues of the Jews. They had John as their assistant.

riversident@Acts:13:6 @ After passing through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came across a Jewish magician and false prophet, named Bar-Jesus,

riversident@Acts:13:7 @ who was in the company of the Proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The Proconsul invited in Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear God's message.

riversident@Acts:13:19 @ and after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan he gave them their land as an inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years.

riversident@Acts:13:21 @ Next they asked for a king and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

riversident@Acts:13:25 @ As John was finishing his career he used to say, 'What do you think that I am? I am not he. But one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to unfasten.'

riversident@Acts:13:26 @ "Brethren, sons of Abraham's race and those among you who reverence God, the message of this salvation has been sent to you.

riversident@Acts:13:42 @ As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people begged that these words might be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.

riversident@Acts:13:43 @ After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the pious converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked to them and endeavored to persuade them to hold fast to the grace of God.

riversident@Acts:13:45 @ But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with anger and kept speaking in abusive language against what was said by Paul.

riversident@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas said with fearless plainness, "The message of God had to be spoken first to you. But since you thrust it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of life eternal \'97 now, we turn to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.'

riversident@Acts:13:49 @ The message of the Lord was carried abroad through the whole country.

riversident@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up the pious women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their boundaries.

riversident@Acts:13:51 @ They shook off the dust of their feet as a protest against them, and came to Iconium.

riversident@Acts:14:1 @ IN Iconium Paul and Barnabas went in the same way into the synagogue and spoke so that a large number both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

riversident@Acts:14:5 @ But when there was a rush made by the Gentiles and the Jews, along with their rulers, to hustle them and stone them,

riversident@Acts:14:8 @ In Lystra there was a man sitting who was powerless in his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and never had walked.

riversident@Acts:14:9 @ He was listening to Paul as he was speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him, and, seeing that he had faith to be healed,

riversident@Acts:14:12 @ They called Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the principal speaker.

riversident@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, followed by the crowds, and intended to offer sacrifice.

riversident@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they rent their garments and sprang into the crowd, crying out,

riversident@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he permitted all the nations to go their own ways,

riversident@Acts:14:23 @ They appointed elders for them in every church, and after prayer and fasting committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

riversident@Acts:14:24 @ They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

riversident@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they assembled the church and narrated all that God, working with them, had done, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:14:28 @ There they passed no little time with the disciples.

riversident@Acts:15:2 @ Since no little dissension and controversy arose between Paul and Barnabas and these men, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

riversident@Acts:15:3 @ So they were sent on by the church and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles, which caused great joy to all the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows all hearts, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

riversident@Acts:15:11 @ On the contrary we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus just as they are."

riversident@Acts:15:12 @ The whole assembly remained silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:13 @ When they ceased speaking, James said, "Brethren, listen to me.

riversident@Acts:15:37 @ Barnabas wished to take along John who was called Mark.

riversident@Acts:15:39 @ Such a difference of feeling resulted that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed away to Cyprus.

riversident@Acts:15:40 @ Paul selected Silas and left, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brethren.

riversident@Acts:16:1 @ THEY came to Derbe and Lystra. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, who was a believer, and of a Greek father.

riversident@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wished to have Timothy go with him. So he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts. For they all knew that his father was a Greek.

riversident@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches grew firmer in faith and increased in numbers from day to day.

riversident@Acts:16:6 @ They went through Phrygia and the Galatian country, the Holy Spirit having prevented their speaking the message in Asia.

riversident@Acts:16:8 @ Passing by Mysia they came down to Troas.

riversident@Acts:16:9 @ There a vision appeared to Paul in the night \'97 a Macedonian man was standing and begging him saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

riversident@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went outside of the gate to a place on the riverside where it was customary to go for prayer, and we sat down and talked with the women who had gathered there.

riversident@Acts:16:14 @ One woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple, from the city of Thyatira, who reverenced God, was listening. God opened her heart to receive what was said by Paul.

riversident@Acts:16:16 @ It so happened that as we were going to the place of prayer a certain slave girl who had a spirit of divination met us. She was bringing great gain to her masters by divining.

riversident@Acts:16:18 @ This she kept doing for many days. Paul was annoyed, and turning he said to the spirit, "I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her," and it came out at that very moment.

riversident@Acts:16:19 @ When her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them into the public square before the authorities.

riversident@Acts:16:23 @ After laying many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them securely.

riversident@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

riversident@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were loosed.

riversident@Acts:16:27 @ The jailer, waking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

riversident@Acts:16:29 @ Calling for a light he sprang in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

riversident@Acts:16:33 @ He took them at that hour of the night and washed their stripes. Then he was baptized, he and all of his household, immediately.

riversident@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "After beating us publicly and without a trial, although we are Romans, they cast us into prison. And are they now sending us out secretly? No, let them come themselves and lead us out."

riversident@Acts:17:1 @ AFTER passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews became excited and, taking with them some of the base loafers from the market-place, they made a mob and threw the city into confusion. They attacked the house of Jason and tried to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.

riversident@Acts:17:6 @ Not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the magistrates, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have now come here.

riversident@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has received them. They all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is a different king \'97 Jesus."

riversident@Acts:17:9 @ So they took security from Jason and the rest and then dismissed them.

riversident@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent off Paul and Silas in the night to Beraea. They on arrival went into the synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:14 @ At once then the brethren sent away Paul to go down to the sea coast. Silas and Timothy remained there.

riversident@Acts:18:25 @ He was strong in knowledge of the Scriptures and had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and, being very earnest in spirit, was teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew no baptism but John's.

riversident@Acts:18:27 @ As he wished to cross over to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. So he went and greatly helped those who had believed through grace.

riversident@Acts:19:1 @ WHILE Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

riversident@Acts:19:2 @ He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "On the contrary, we did not even hear that there was a Holy Spirit."

riversident@Acts:19:4 @ Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of a change of heart, telling the people to believe in one who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

riversident@Acts:19:8 @ For three months Paul went into the synagogue and spoke fearlessly, arguing persuasively regarding the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message of the Lord.

riversident@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits departed.

riversident@Acts:19:16 @ and the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on them and overpowered both of them, and so belabored them that they fled from that house naked and wounded.

riversident@Acts:19:21 @ When these things had been accomplished Paul took it in mind to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there I must see Rome also."

riversident@Acts:19:22 @ He sent on into Macedonia two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself remained awhile in Asia.

riversident@Acts:19:24 @ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, a maker of silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing to the artisans no small gain.

riversident@Acts:19:26 @ and you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but also throughout almost all Asia this Paul has persuaded and drawn away a large number, saying that hand-made gods are not gods at all.

riversident@Acts:19:27 @ Not only is this trade of ours in danger of coming into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is in danger of being held of no account, and she whom now all Asia and the wide world worship will be deposed from her majesty."

riversident@Acts:19:29 @ The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed with one mind into the theater, having gotten hold of Gaius and Aristarchus, fellow travelers of Paul's.

riversident@Acts:19:32 @ Some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the most did not know why they had come together.

riversident@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, there arose one shout from all for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:36 @ Since these things are indisputable, you ought to be calm and do nothing rash.

riversident@Acts:19:38 @ If Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any one, there are court days and there are proconsuls; let the parties state their cases.

riversident@Acts:19:39 @ If you are seeking anything further, it shall be settled in a lawful assembly.

riversident@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being called in question regarding to-day's mob, and we shall not be able to give a reason for this tumult."

riversident@Acts:20:1 @ WHEN the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and left to proceed to Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:2 @ Passing through those parts and encouraging them by many addresses, he came into Greece.

riversident@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months. When a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:4 @ There were in company with him Sopater of Beraea, the son of Pyrrhus, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, and from Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.

riversident@Acts:20:5 @ These went on and were waiting for us in Troas.

riversident@Acts:20:6 @ After the Days of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi and came to them in Troas in five days. There we spent seven days.

riversident@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we all were assembled to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, being about to leave in the morning, and he extended his address until midnight.

riversident@Acts:20:8 @ There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.

riversident@Acts:20:9 @ A certain young man named Eutychus, sitting in a window, was overcome with deep sleep while Paul went on discoursing. At last overpowered by sleep he fell from the third story and was taken up dead.

riversident@Acts:20:13 @ We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take on Paul there, for so he had arranged, intending to come himself by land.

riversident@Acts:20:14 @ So when he joined us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

riversident@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus in order not to spend time in Asia. He was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

riversident@Acts:20:18 @ When they came to him, he said to them, "You know how I have lived among you the whole time since the first day I set foot in Asia,

riversident@Acts:20:20 @ how I did not shrink from telling you anything that was profitable or from teaching you publicly and from house to house,

riversident@Acts:20:24 @ But I do not hold my life as of any account if only I may finish my race and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of the grace of God.

riversident@Acts:21:3 @ After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.

riversident@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and we stayed with him.

riversident@Acts:21:16 @ Some of the disciples from Caesarea went up with us, taking along Mnason, a Cypriote, an old-time disciple, whose guests we were to be.

riversident@Acts:21:25 @ "But as to the Gentiles that have believed, we have, after consideration, sent our decision that they shall guard themselves against what has been sacrificed to idols, and against blood, and against what has been strangled, and against unchastity."

riversident@Acts:21:27 @ But when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia saw him in the Temple courts, and stirred up all the crowd and laid their hands on Paul,

riversident@Acts:21:28 @ shouting, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches everybody everywhere against our people and the Law and this place, and moreover, he has brought Greeks into the Temple courts and has desecrated this holy place."

riversident@Acts:21:30 @ The whole city was excited and the people rushed together. Seizing Paul, they drew him out of the Temple courts, and immediately the gates were closed.

riversident@Acts:21:31 @ As they were trying to kill him, word went up to the Tribune of the battalion that all Jerusalem was in commotion.

riversident@Acts:21:33 @ Then the Tribune coming up arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

riversident@Acts:21:35 @ When Paul got upon the stairs, it so happened that he was being carried by the soldiers on account of the violence of the mob.

riversident@Acts:21:36 @ For the crowd of people was following and shouting, "Kill him!"

riversident@Acts:21:37 @ As he was about to enter the barracks Paul said to the Tribune, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?

riversident@Acts:21:38 @ Are you then not the Egyptian who some time ago raised a sedition and led off four thousand assassins into the desert?"

riversident@Acts:21:40 @ He gave him leave, and Paul standing on the stairs motioned with his hand to the people. There was a great silence, and, speaking loudly in Hebrew, Paul said:

riversident@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in exact knowledge of our ancestral Law, and I was zealous for God as you all are to-day.

riversident@Acts:22:5 @ as the High Priest and all the eldership can testify for me. From them I received letters to the brethren and was journeying to Damascus in order to bring back in chains to Jerusalem for punishment those who had gone there.

riversident@Acts:22:6 @ It happened that as I was journeying and nearing Damascus, about noon, suddenly a great light flashed from heaven around me.

riversident@Acts:22:8 @ I asked, 'Who is speaking?' He said to me,

riversident@Acts:22:11 @ Since I could not see, owing to the brightness of that light, my companions led me by the hand, and so I entered Damascus.

riversident@Acts:22:12 @ "Then a man named Ananias, a strict observer of the Law and highly esteemed by all the Jews who lived there,

riversident@Acts:22:24 @ the Tribune ordered him to be led into the barracks and directed that he should be examined with the lash, so that he might know for what crime they were shouting so against him.

riversident@Acts:22:25 @ When they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the Centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and without a trial?"

riversident@Acts:22:28 @ The Tribune said, "I obtained this citizenship by paying a great sum of money." Paul said, "But I was born to it."

riversident@Acts:22:29 @ At once those who were about to examine him went away from him, and the Tribune was alarmed when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had chained him.

riversident@Acts:22:30 @ On the next day, wishing to know certainly why he was accused by the Jews, the Tribune loosed Paul and ordered the high priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and stood him before them.

riversident@Acts:23:2 @ The High Priest Ananias told those who stood near him to strike him on the mouth.

riversident@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will soon strike you, you whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me by the Law and yet violating the Law by ordering me to be struck?"

riversident@Acts:23:5 @ Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was High Priest. It is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy people.' "

riversident@Acts:23:6 @ Then Paul, perceiving that one party was of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, shouted out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being tried for the hope of the resurrection of the dead."

riversident@Acts:23:7 @ On his saying this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly became divided.

riversident@Acts:23:9 @ So a great uproar arose, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose and contended, saying, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

riversident@Acts:23:10 @ When the strife was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul might be torn to pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down and take him from the midst of them and bring him into the barracks.

riversident@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:14 @ They came to the high priests and elders and said, "We have bound ourselves by an oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:15 @ Now therefore you and the Council must ask the Tribune to bring him down to you, as if you were going to inquire more exactly about him, and we, before he comes near, will be ready to put him out of the way."

riversident@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called to him one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has something to tell him."

riversident@Acts:23:18 @ He took him and led him to the Tribune and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

riversident@Acts:23:30 @ Information has come to me that there will be a plot against the man, and so I am sending him at once to you, and I have commanded his accusers to state their case against him before you."

riversident@Acts:23:34 @ He read the letter and asked of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia.

riversident@Acts:23:35 @ Then he said, "I will hear what you have to say when your accusers also arrive." He gave orders that Paul should be guarded in Herod's castle.

riversident@Acts:24:1 @ AFTER five days the High Priest Ananias came down with certain elders and an advocate named Tertullus, and they spoke against Paul to the Governor.

riversident@Acts:24:8 @ You yourself can examine him and learn from him as to all these things of which we are accusing him."

riversident@Acts:24:11 @ You can ascertain that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

riversident@Acts:24:18 @ They found me in the Temple thus occupied and purified, with no crowd or noise \'97 but there were some Jews from Asia,

riversident@Acts:24:24 @ After some days Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him regarding faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Acts:24:25 @ While Paul was reasoning about righteousness and self-discipline and the judgment that is to come, Felix became alarmed and said," Go for the present. When I find a convenient time I will send for you."

riversident@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time he was in hopes that money would be given him by Paul and therefore he used to send for him more frequently and converse with him.

riversident@Acts:24:27 @ But at the end of two years Felix received Porcius Festus as a successor, and, wishing to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in chains.

riversident@Acts:25:3 @ and begged as a favor that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to have an ambush and kill him on the road.

riversident@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered that Paul was being kept in Caesarea and that he himself was going back very soon.

riversident@Acts:25:9 @ Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried for this before me?"

riversident@Acts:25:10 @ Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's bar, where I ought to be tried. I have not harmed any Jews in anything, as you very well know.

riversident@Acts:25:11 @ If I am in the wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die. But if there is nothing in the accusations of these men, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:13 @ When some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.

riversident@Acts:25:14 @ As they were spending a good many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the King. "There is a man here," he said, "who was left a prisoner by Felix,

riversident@Acts:25:15 @ against whom when I was in Jerusalem the high priests and the elders of the Jews had much to say, asking to have him condemned.

riversident@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any person for punishment before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the charge.

riversident@Acts:25:18 @ When his accusers arose, they brought no charge of such crimes as I was expecting,

riversident@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss about a question of this kind, I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on the charges.

riversident@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa came and Bernice with much display, and they entered the auditorium with the military tribunes and the principal men of the city, and at Festus' command Paul was led in.

riversident@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable in sending a prisoner not to specify the charges against him."

riversident@Acts:27:9 @ When much time had passed and sailing was now dangerous because it was already after the Fast, Paul addressed them.

riversident@Acts:27:11 @ But the Centurion listened more to the sailing master and the ship owner than to what Paul said,

riversident@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbor was not convenient to winter in, the majority adopted the purpose of sailing away on the chance of being able to reach Phoenix and winter there. Phoenix is a harbor of Crete facing the southwest and the northwest.

riversident@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven through the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors surmised that land was getting near.

riversident@Acts:27:29 @ Then fearing that they might run into rocky places, they cast out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

riversident@Acts:28:1 @ WHEN we were safe ashore, we found that the island was called Melita.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:4 @ When the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, although he has escaped the sea, Justice does not permit to live."

riversident@Acts:28:6 @ They kept watching to see him swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after watching a long time and seeing nothing amiss happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness come to the circumcision, or also to the uncircumcision? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:10 @ How was it credited, when he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

riversident@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them;

riversident@Romans:4:13 @ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be";

riversident@Romans:4:19 @ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

riversident@Romans:4:20 @ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God,

riversident@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.

riversident@Romans:4:22 @ Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness.

riversident@Romans:4:23 @ It was not written for his sake only, that it was credited to him,

riversident@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up on account of our sins and was raised again that we might be accounted righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.

riversident@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as through one man sin entered the world, and through sin death entered, and so death spread to all men, since all sinned \'97

riversident@Romans:5:13 @ for down to the time of the Law sin was in the world, and yet sin is not charged where there is no law;

riversident@Romans:5:14 @ but death reigned from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned like Adam, who is the type of him who was coming.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:19 @ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were set down as sinners, so by the obedience of the one the many will be set down as righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:7 @ For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.

riversident@Romans:6:13 @ and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then? Fruit of which you are now ashamed; for the end of those things is death.

riversident@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:8 @ Sin, taking occasion through the commandment, worked in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

riversident@Romans:7:9 @ I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,

riversident@Romans:7:10 @ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

riversident@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:8 @ Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

riversident@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was made subject to folly not willingly, but for the sake of him who subjected it, in hope,

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart.

riversident@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish myself to be accursed and cast away from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

riversident@Romans:9:6 @ Not that God's word has failed. For not all who are of Israel are Israel;

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was about to bear children to our father Isaac,

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

riversident@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

riversident@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy on whom he chooses and he hardens whom he chooses.

riversident@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has opposed his will?"

riversident@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

riversident@Romans:9:25 @ As also he says in Hosea, "Those who are not my people I will call my people, and her who has not been beloved I will call beloved,

riversident@Romans:9:26 @ and in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

riversident@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah cried aloud regarding Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be saved.

riversident@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah."

riversident@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone,

riversident@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down \'97 "

riversident@Romans:10:15 @ How shall they proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

riversident@Romans:10:16 @ But have not all heard the good news? For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

riversident@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

riversident@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah makes bold to say, "I was found by those who were not seeking me: I became manifest to those who were not inquiring for me."

riversident@Romans:11:1 @ I SAY then, can it be that God has repudiated his people? Never. For I am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

riversident@Romans:11:2 @ God has not repudiated his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story of Elijah, how he prays to God against Israel?

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not found what it is seeking, but the chosen have found it. And the rest have been made dull,

riversident@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a stupid spirit, eyes not for seeing and ears not for hearing until this day."

riversident@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so as not to see, and bow down their backs always."

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:16 @ If the first fruit was holy, so will the mass be; and if the root was holy, so will be the branches.

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:26 @ and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "From Zion will come the deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

riversident@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, but now have found mercy through their disobedience,

riversident@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

riversident@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counsellor?

riversident@Romans:11:35 @ Who first gave to him so as to receive repayment?

riversident@Romans:12:1 @ I BEG you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, pleasing to God \'97 your rational worship.

riversident@Romans:12:2 @ Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

riversident@Romans:12:3 @ Through the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought, but to think so as to become wise, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

riversident@Romans:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many members and the members do not all have the same function,

riversident@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as depends on you, live at peace with all men.

riversident@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore we must be obedient, not only because of the punishment but as a matter of conscience.

riversident@Romans:13:6 @ For this reason also you pay tribute. For they are God's officers attending to this very thing.

riversident@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another. He who loves the other has fulfilled the Law.

riversident@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not commit murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and any other that there may be, are summed up in this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

riversident@Romans:13:13 @ Let us live becomingly as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in sensuality and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy.

riversident@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for gratifying physical passions.

riversident@Romans:14:3 @ The man who eats is not to despise the one who does not eat, and he who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats. For God has accepted him.

riversident@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls, and stand he will, for God is able to make him stand.

riversident@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

riversident@Romans:14:16 @ Do not let what is good to you be spoken of as evil.

riversident@Romans:14:18 @ For he who thus serves Christ is pleasing to God and esteemed by men.

riversident@Romans:14:23 @ He who has doubts and still eats stands condemned, because he is not acting from faith. But whatever does not spring from faith is sin.

riversident@Romans:15:1 @ WE who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

riversident@Romans:15:2 @ Each of us should please his neighbor for his good so as to build him up.

riversident@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself, but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell on me."

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

riversident@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another as Christ welcomed us, to the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this will I confess thee among the Gentiles and sing to thy name."

riversident@Romans:15:17 @ I do boast in Christ Jesus of my work for God.

riversident@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak except of what Christ has done through me to promote obedience of Gentiles, by word and deed,

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

riversident@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They who have had no message of him shall see and they who have not heard shall understand."

riversident@Romans:15:24 @ while making a journey to Spain, I hope to see you as I pass through and to be furthered on my journey by you, after first partially satisfying my desire of being with you.

riversident@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the holy in Jerusalem.

riversident@Romans:15:27 @ They have been pleased to do this and indeed they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared their things of the spirit, they owe them sacred service in things of the body.

riversident@Romans:15:28 @ So after completing this and sealing to them this fruit, I shall come away and pass by you to Spain.

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings to Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first-fruit of Asia for Christ.

riversident@Romans:16:6 @ Give my greetings to Mary, who has worked hard for you.

riversident@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junias, men of my race and my companions in prison, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

riversident@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Give my greetings to Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Petrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.

riversident@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy with them.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own stomachs, and by their smooth and pleasing talk they mislead the hearts of the innocent.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has come to the knowledge of all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I wish you to be wise regarding what is good, and simple in regard to what is evil.

riversident@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greeting, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are of my race.

riversident@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, sends his greetings. Erastus the city treasurer sends his greetings, and so does Quartus the brother.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:6 @ so that my testimony to Christ has been confirmed among you

riversident@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been told me regarding you, brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no human being may boast in God's presence.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:30 @ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:10 @ To us God has revealed this by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will teach him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:1 @ AND I myself, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as babes in Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any one has built stands he will get a reward.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any one's work burns up he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise to be futile."

riversident@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'97 all are yours

riversident@1Corinthians:4:1 @ LET a man view us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover, in the case of stewards it is required that a man be found faithful.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But it is of very slight importance to me to be judged by you or any human court. I do not even pass judgment on myself.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who gives you superiority? What have you that you did not receive? Why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered we entreat. We have come to be, as it were, the sweepings of the world, the riffraff of all things up to now.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already as if I were present judged the man who has acted thus.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is unbecoming. Do you not know that a little yeast sets the whole mass fermenting?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old yeast that you may be new dough, free from yeast, as indeed you are. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast nor with the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with unchaste people,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to associate with any one who is called a brother, if he is unchaste or covetous or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or extortionate \'97 not even to eat with such a one.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy are going to judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unfit for the most trivial cases?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have affairs of this life, do you ask men who in the view of the church count for nothing to sit as judges?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake, neither the unchaste, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who practice unnatural vices,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will end the function of one and the other. The body is not for unchastity, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Shun unchastity. Every other sin that a man does is apart from the body, but the unchaste sins against his own body.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is excellent for them to remain as I do.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one actually leaves, let him leave. The brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God has called you to peace.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But, as the Lord has allotted to each, let each go on living as when God called him. So I prescribe in all the churches.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not efface it. Was any one called when uncircumcised? Let him not become circumcised.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each stay in that condition in which he was called.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman. Just so the free man, when called, is the slave of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Let each one, brethren, stay in that condition in which he was called, close to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Have you been bound to a wife? Seek not release. Have you been freed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who weep as if they wept not, and those who rejoice as if they rejoiced not, and those who buy as if they possessed nothing,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as if not overusing it. For the present order of this world is passing away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I wish you to be free from worry. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord \'97 how be may please the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:33 @ The married man is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how he may please his wife,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:37 @ He who stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has power over his own will and has decided in his heart to keep his virgin, will do well.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband falls asleep, she is free to marry whom she will, though only in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my opinion she is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:1 @ NOW as to things that have been sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one think; that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not the right to take about with us a sister as wife, as the rest of the apostles do and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or am I only, and Barnabas, without the right not to do manual labor?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serves as a soldier and supplies his own pay and rations? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who keeps a flock and does not drink any of the milk of the flock?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:10 @ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So the Lord has directed that those who proclaim the good news shall have their living from the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For although I tell the good news I have nothing to boast of. For a necessity is laid upon me. Alas for me if I do not tell the good news!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:20 @ I became to the Jews a Jew, to gain the Jews; to those under law as under law, though not myself under law, to gain those who are under law.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those without law, I became as without law, though not without the law of God and under the law of Christ, to gain those who are without law.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a stadium all run, yet one gets the prize? Run so as to win.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Thus I run with no uncertain goal: thus I strike, not as if pounding the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But with the most of them God was not well pleased. For they were strewn in the desert.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:6 @ These things happened as warnings for us, that we may not be eager for evil things as they were eager.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Be not idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

riversident@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us be unchaste, as some of them were and twenty-three thousand fell dead in one day.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us try the patience of the Lord, as some of them tried him and were destroyed by serpents.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor murmur, as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to those people as warnings and they were written for the instruction of us to whom the closing events of the ages have come.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to thoughtful men. Judge for yourselves what I am saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:10:33 @ as I also in all things accommodate myself to all men, not seeking my own interest but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in all things and hold firmly the traditions as I passed them on to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man was not from woman, but woman from man,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:9 @ for man was not formed for woman, but woman for man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman is from man so is man through woman, but all things from God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature herself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because the hair is given to her for a covering.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In giving the following directions I do not praise you, because you do not assemble for the better, but for the worse.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, therefore, you assemble it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup you proclaim the Lord's death, until he comes.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sickly among you and a number are asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that your assembling may not bring condemnation on you. The other matters I will arrange when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:2 @ For you know that when you were Gentiles you were led away after the dumb idols just as might happen.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:11 @ One and the same Spirit produces all of these gifts, distributing to each one individually as he will.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body as he pleased.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our comely parts have no need. But God has organized the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God placed some in the church first as apostles, secondly as prophets, thirdly as teachers, then miracle-workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, speakers of different kinds of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is longsuffering, love is kind, is not jealous, love does not boast, is not conceited,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but if there are prophetic powers, they will become useless; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will become useless.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. Since I have become a man, I have no use for childish things.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For as yet we are looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then face to face. As yet I know in part, but then I shall know fully, as I have been fully known.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Inanimate things that give a sound, such as the flute or harp, \'97 unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being played on flute or harp?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others, than to speak ten thousand words in a tongue.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you assemble each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for the upbuilding of character.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the holy,

riversident@1Corinthians:14:34 @ let the women be silent in your assemblies. For it is not allowed to them to speak; but let them be in subjection as also the Law says.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast the message that I announced to you, unless your faith was thoughtless.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:6 @ then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most are still living, but some have fallen asleep,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, as if to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you believed.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed \'97 that he has been raised from the dead \'97 how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:14 @ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be defeated will be death.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be led astray; "bad associations corrupt good morals."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Return to soberness and cease to sin, for some are ignorant of God. I say it to your shame.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has pleased, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another flesh of birds, and another flesh of fishes.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Just as it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal," the last Adam became a lifegiving spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As is the earthly man such are also those who are earthly, and as is the heavenly man such are also those who are heavenly.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I am telling you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be transformed,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be transformed.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each of you lay up at home something according as he may be prospering, in order that no collections may be going on when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you alter I pass through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia

riversident@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I shall make some stay with you or pass the winter with you, so that you may send me forward wherever I may be going.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:7 @ I do not wish to see you now merely in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a great and effective door has been opened to me, and there are many opponents.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he becomes free from fear in his relations to you. For he is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As to Apollos our brother, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brethren. But it was not at all his will to go now, but he will come when it is convenient.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you, brethren \'97 you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia and they have devoted themselves to serving the holy \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they made up for my lack of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca with the church in their house greet you heartily in the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:5 @ Because as the sufferings of Christ are abundant in our case, so through Christ our encouragement is abundant.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope is strong regarding you, since we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings so you are of the encouragement.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is what we boast of, the witness of our conscience that in holiness, and sincerity before God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have lived in the world and especially toward you.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have partly acknowledged it about us, that we are your ground of boasting and you are ours on the day of our Lord Jesus.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I was intending this, did I show fickleness? Or do I plan what I plan according to the flesh, so that I may say yes, yes, and no, no?

riversident@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As God is faithful, my word to you is not yes and no.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was proclaimed among you by us \'97 myself and Silvanus and Timothy \'97 was not yes and no, but in him was yes.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:21 @ It is God who makes us and you steadfast to Christ, and has anointed us

riversident@2Corinthians:1:22 @ and sealed us and has given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:23 @ I call God as a witness against my soul that in order to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of great distress and pain of heart I am writing with many tears, not that you may be grieved, but that you may know the love that I have beyond measure for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Therefore I beg you to assure him of your love.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:10 @ To whomever you forgive anything I also forgive it, and what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was for your sake in the sight of Christ,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like the most, adulterating the message of God for gain, but in sincerity, as from God, in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:1 @ ARE we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that of ourselves we are fit to reason out anything as from ourselves, but our fitness is from God,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has fitted us to be servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service that brought condemnation was glory, much more will the service that brings righteousness surpass in glory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For what was made so glorious is in a way no longer glorious compared with the glory that surpasses it.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was to be ended came in glory, much more glorious must be that which is enduring.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:14 @ but their thinking was dulled. For to this day the same veil remains unlifted when the old covenant is read; because it is done away only in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same likeness from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thinking of the unbelieving so that the light of the glorious good news of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine in.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:6 @ Because it is the God who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts bringing the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen jars, that the surpassing power may be God's and not ours \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken, cast down, but not destroyed,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Having the same spirit of faith, as it is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we too believe and therefore speak,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we are not downhearted, but even if our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our momentary and light distress is working out for us a far surpassing and eternal weight of glory

riversident@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, and he has given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore also we are ambitious to be pleasing to him, whether at home with him or in this foreign land.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves again to you, but giving occasion to you for boasting on our behalf, that you may have it to use against those who boast of appearances and not of heart.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we were out of our minds it was for God, and if we are sane it is for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and he died for all that the living may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:19 @ to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:1 @ AS God's fellow workers we also beg you not to receive his grace fruitlessly.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no occasion for stumbling to any one that our service may not be blamed,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in floggings, in prisons, in riots, in toils, in sleepless nights, in fastings,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and shame, by slander and praise; as deceivers yet true,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:13 @ As a fair return, I am speaking as to my children, let your hearts expand.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked up, like unmatched animals, with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:15 @ or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what share has a believer with an unbeliever?

riversident@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my frankness in speaking to you; great is my boasting of you; I am filled with encouragement, running over with joy at every distress of ours.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For since we came to Macedonia our flesh has had no rest, but we have been distressed in every way, conflicts without, fears within.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:9 @ but I am glad now, not that you were grieved, but that your grief led to a change of heart. You were grieved as God approves so that you should in nothing suffer loss from us.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if I have made any boast regarding you I have not been put to shame, but as we spoke everything in truth to you so our boasting over Titus turned out the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in every way, in faith and speech and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love you learned from us, be sure to excel in this grace also.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first the readiness, a gift is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack."

riversident@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we are sending the brother whose praise for service to the good news has spread through all the churches,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any one asks about Titus, he is my intimate friend and fellow worker for you. If it is our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Show them in the sight of the churches your love and the ground of our boasting to them about you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:3 @ I am sending the brethren that our boasting about you may not be proved in this matter an empty boast, so that you may be ready as I have said,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:4 @ and if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to say you, may not be made ashamed of this confidence.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I think it necessary to urge the brethren to go on in advance to you and prepare before-hand your promised gift, that it may be ready as a gift and not as if extorted.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Let each give as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly nor of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:9 @ as it is written, "He scattered, he gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever."

riversident@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and make abundant your seed and will increase the fruits of your righteousness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

riversident@Galatians:1:11 @ For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.

riversident@Galatians:1:12 @ For neither did I receive it from man nor was I taught it through man, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:22 @ I was not known by face to the churches of Christ in Judaea.

riversident@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me and was a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised,

riversident@Galatians:2:4 @ though it was suggested on account of false brethren who had been brought in, who had crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

riversident@Galatians:2:7 @ But, on the contrary, seeing that I was entrusted with the good news for the uncircumcision as Peter was for the circumcision,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they wished us to remember the poor. This very thing I also was earnest in doing.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I am building up again what I pulled down, I show myself as a transgressor.

riversident@Galatians:3:1 @ O THOUGHTLESS Galatians, who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was pictured crucified?

riversident@Galatians:3:2 @ Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

riversident@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

riversident@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I am speaking humanly, a ratified covenant, although but a man's, no one can set aside or add to.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:23 @ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed.

riversident@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

riversident@Galatians:4:1 @ I SAY that as long as the heir is under age he differs in nothing from a slave, though he be owner of all.

riversident@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under Law, that we might receive the recognition as sons.

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

riversident@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was born of the slave girl was born according to the flesh, while he who was born of the free wife was born by promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brethren, are, as Isaac was, children of promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:29 @ But just as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither has circumcision any value nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

riversident@Galatians:5:8 @ The persuasion was not from him who called you.

riversident@Galatians:5:9 @ A little yeast sets the whole lump fermenting.

riversident@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brethren, if I am still proclaiming circumcision, why am I persecuted? Then the offensiveness of the cross has been done away.

riversident@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is summed up in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

riversident@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:19 @ The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,

riversident@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another.

riversident@Galatians:6:10 @ So then as we have opportunity let us work for the good of all men, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

riversident@Galatians:6:13 @ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the Law, but they wish you to be circumcised in order to boast in your flesh.

riversident@Galatians:6:14 @ But let me never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

riversident@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly heights in Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and spotless before him in love.

riversident@Ephesians:1:5 @ He predestined us to recognition as sons to himself through Jesus Christ according to the kindness of his will,

riversident@Ephesians:1:9 @ He has made known to us the mystery of his will according to his grace which he purposed in him

riversident@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I also, since hearing of your faith in Jesus and your love to all the saints,

riversident@Ephesians:1:16 @ never cease giving thanks for you when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the inworking of his vast might,

riversident@Ephesians:1:22 @ He put all things under his feet and placed him as head over all for the church,

riversident@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among these we all lived once in the passions of our flesh and of our thoughts, and we were by nature children of wrath like the rest.

riversident@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, that no one may boast.

riversident@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace. He has made both Jew and Gentile one and has broken down the dividing wall, the enmity.

riversident@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own flesh he has ended the force of the law of commandments in ordinances in order to make the two, in himself, into one new man, thus making peace,

riversident@Ephesians:3:1 @ FOR this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the gracious commission which God has given me to you,

riversident@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery has been disclosed to me, as I wrote before briefly,

riversident@Ephesians:3:5 @ a mystery which was not disclosed in other generations to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:3:7 @ of which I became a servant according to the free grace of God which was given me by the inworking of his power.

riversident@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, the least of all the holy, has this grace been given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unsearchable riches of Christ

riversident@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to show what is the working of the mystery which has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things

riversident@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to the eternal purpose which he has accomplished by Christ Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father

riversident@Ephesians:3:19 @ yes, to know the love of Christ, which yet surpasses knowledge, and may be filled with all the fullness of God.

riversident@Ephesians:3:20 @ To him who is able to do far beyond all we ask or think by the power that works in us,

riversident@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called with one hope that belongs to your calling,

riversident@Ephesians:4:7 @ To each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it says, "He ascended on high; he led away captives; he gave gifts to men."

riversident@Ephesians:4:9 @ What does "he ascended" mean, except that he had descended into the lowest parts of the earth?

riversident@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also he who "ascended" high above all the heavens to fill all things.

riversident@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain oneness in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, and the maturity of manhood and the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body framed together and strengthened by what every joint supplies vigorously, in the measure of each, makes growth in building itself up in love.

riversident@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and solemnly protest in the Lord: that you are no longer to live as the Gentiles live in vacancy of mind,

riversident@Ephesians:4:21 @ if you have heard him and have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you should put away the old man who belonged to your former way of life and was perishing in deluding passions,

riversident@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new man formed as God approves in the righteousness and holiness of truth.

riversident@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who steals must steal no longer, but rather he must labor, working with his own hands something good, so as to have something to share with any one in need.

riversident@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind to one another, sympathetic, forgiving one another just as God in Christ has forgiven you.

riversident@Ephesians:5:1 @ BE imitators of God as beloved children

riversident@Colossians:3:5 @ Treat the members of your earthly bodies as dead \'97 dead to unchastity, impurity, passion, evil desire, and avarice, which is idolatry.

riversident@Colossians:3:12 @ Put on, then, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, sympathies, compassions, kindness, humility, gentleness, slowness to anger,

riversident@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any one has a grievance against any. Just as the Lord forgave you, so must you forgive.

riversident@Colossians:3:16 @ The message of Christ must dwell in you richly, as you teach in all wisdom and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

riversident@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in everything your masters in the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, because you reverence the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord and not for men,

riversident@Colossians:3:25 @ He who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

riversident@Colossians:4:1 @ MASTERS, give to your slaves what is just and equal, for you know that you have a Master in heaven.

riversident@Colossians:4:4 @ so that I may make it clear, as I ought.

riversident@Colossians:4:6 @ Let what you say be always with grace, seasoned with salt. Know how you should answer each one.

riversident@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (note:)you have received letters about him; if he comes, welcome him(:note),

riversident@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, the servant of Christ Jesus, who is one of you, sends his greetings to you. He always wrestles in prayer on your behalf that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

riversident@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you their greetings.

riversident@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans, and you are to read the letter that will come from Laodicea.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ unceasingly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before God our Father.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ We know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ and that our good news came to you not in word only but in power and in the Holy Spirit and in great assurance, just as you know we acted among you for your benefit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ YOU yourselves know, brethren, what a reception we had from you, that it was not without result,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ Nor did we ever fall into flattering talk, as you know, nor use any pretext for self-enrichment \'97 God is witness \'97

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Yearning over you so, we would gladly have imparted to you not only God's good news but our own lives as well, because you had become dear to us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out and do not please God and are enemies to all men,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason we determined to come to you, yes, I, Paul, more than once: but Satan hindered us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always keep us well in mind and long to see us, just as we long to see you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while we pray beyond measure night and day that we may see your faces and make good whatever lacks there may be in your faith?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ The Lord make you to abound and overflow in love toward one another and toward all men, just as we do toward you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust, as the Gentiles do who know not God;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God has not called us to live in impurity, but in holiness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to be ambitious to lead a quiet life and to mind each his own business and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to the winning of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, as indeed you are doing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Pray without ceasing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Test all things; hold fast the good.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, since your faith is growing greatly and the love of each and all of you toward one another is increasing,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be wondered at on that day among all believers \'97 for our testimony to you was believed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come until the Apostasy has first come and the Man of Lawlessness has been revealed \'97 the Son of Perdition,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you this?

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only there is just now one who is restraining it until he passes out of the way.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends to them a deceptive influence so that they believe a lie,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now then, brethren, stand firm and hold fast the teachings that you have been taught whether by our words or by our letter.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that we have not the authority, but in order to give you ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

riversident@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you to stay in Ephesus when I was leaving for Macedonia, that you might charge some not to teach new and strange doctrines

riversident@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some missing these have turned aside to empty talk,

riversident@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has given me strength, because he thought me faithful and put me into his service,

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding to faith and a good conscience, which some have cast aside and thus made shipwreck of their faith.

riversident@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is excellent and pleasing in the sight of God, our Savior,

riversident@1Timothy:2:13 @ Adam was first formed, then Eve.

riversident@1Timothy:3:1 @ THE saying is trustworthy: "If any one aspires to the office of a bishop, he desires a noble work."

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not eager for base gain,

riversident@1Timothy:3:15 @ but so that if I am delayed you may know how people should conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:3:16 @ Confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: "Who was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory."

riversident@1Timothy:4:8 @ Bodily exercise is useful to a small degree, but godliness is useful for everything. "It has the promise of the present life and of the life that is to come."

riversident@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

riversident@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but entreat him as a father, the younger men as brothers,

riversident@1Timothy:5:2 @ the older women as mothers and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

riversident@1Timothy:5:4 @ If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.

riversident@1Timothy:5:5 @ A real widow who is left alone has set her hope on God and devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.

riversident@1Timothy:5:6 @ But the pleasure-loving widow, though living, is already dead.

riversident@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

riversident@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list if she has reached the age of not less than sixty years, if she has been true to one husband,

riversident@1Timothy:5:10 @ has a reputation for good deeds, has brought up children, has entertained strangers, has washed the feet of the holy, has ministered to people in distress, has been active in every good work.

riversident@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would, therefore, have the younger widows marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion to our enemies for slander.

riversident@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some have turned aside after Satan.

riversident@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands of ordination upon any one hastily. Have no share in the sins of other men. Keep yourself pure.

riversident@1Timothy:6:1 @ ALL who are slaves under the yoke must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be profanely slandered.

riversident@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brothers, but rather work as slaves for them because those who are benefited by their good work are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

riversident@1Timothy:6:5 @ and wranglings of men of depraved minds who are destitute of the truth. They think of religion as a source of gain.

riversident@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and injurious passions which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

riversident@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some men grasping for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pangs.

riversident@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some while professing it have gone astray as regards the faith. Grace be with you all.

riversident@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to kindle anew the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

riversident@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this I was made a herald and an apostle and a teacher,

riversident@2Timothy:1:12 @ and for this reason I am suffering these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am confident that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

riversident@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all of those in Asia have deserted me. Among them are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

riversident@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chain;

riversident@2Timothy:2:3 @ Take your share of hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one while serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of life, for the soldier must please him who enlisted him.

riversident@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as my good news teaches.

riversident@2Timothy:2:9 @ In telling it I am suffering hardships even to chains, as if I were an evildoer, but God's message is not chained.

riversident@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I am enduring all for the sake of the chosen, that they may gain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

riversident@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be earnest in presenting yourself to God as a tested man, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, rightly handling the message of truth.

riversident@2Timothy:2:18 @ They have gone astray as to the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they are overthrowing the faith of some.

riversident@2Timothy:2:21 @ If any one keeps himself pure from these errors, he will be ready for honorable use, holy, fit for the master's service, prepared for every good work.

riversident@2Timothy:2:22 @ But flee the passions of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, in the company of those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

riversident@2Timothy:3:1 @ I WOULD have you know this, that in the last days trying times will come;

riversident@2Timothy:3:2 @ for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, haughty, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

riversident@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

riversident@2Timothy:3:5 @ They will have a form of religion, but will cast off its power. Avoid such people.

riversident@2Timothy:3:6 @ For of this class are those who make their way into houses and take captive weak women loaded with sins, led by varying passions,

riversident@2Timothy:3:8 @ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth, depraved in mind, proved to be worthless as regards the faith.

riversident@2Timothy:4:9 @ Make haste to come to me quickly.

riversident@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas deserted me because he loved the present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

riversident@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, and particularly the parchments.

riversident@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that through me the proclamation might be fully published and all the Gentiles might hear it, and I was saved from the mouth of the lion.

riversident@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited surpasses theirs.

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:2:1 @ FOR this reason we should give special attention to the things that we have heard, so as not to drift away from them.

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:5 @ For he has not subjected to angels the coming world of which we speak.

riversident@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. With glory and honor thou hast crowned him.

riversident@Hebrews:2:8 @ All things thou hast put under his feet." When he put all things under him he left nothing that was not put under him. We do not yet see all things put under him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, "I will tell thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to thee,"

riversident@Hebrews:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:2:18 @ For since he himself has suffered when tempted he is able to help those who are tempted.

riversident@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to him who made him as also Moses was in all God's house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over his own house. We are his house if we hold firmly to the end our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

riversident@Hebrews:3:7 @ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day if you will hear his voice,

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

riversident@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was much displeased with that generation and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts and they do not know my paths.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we become sharers with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance with which we began.

riversident@Hebrews:3:15 @ When it is said, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:3:16 @ who when they heard made him angry? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

riversident@Hebrews:3:17 @ With whom was he much displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

riversident@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he indicates a day, "to-day," saying in David so long after, as has been already quoted, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

riversident@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered into God's rest has rested from his works as God did from his.

riversident@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

riversident@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:3 @ For this reason he must bring an offering for his own sins, just as he does for those of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honor upon himself unless called by God, as Aaron was.

riversident@Hebrews:5:7 @ Christ, in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, with strong outcries and tears, and was heard and saved from his terrors.

riversident@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son he learned obedience from his sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:5:10 @ and was proclaimed by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world,

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so after patient waiting Abraham obtained what was promised.

riversident@Hebrews:6:17 @ In this case God being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable purpose of his will gave the surety of an oath,

riversident@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and it enters into the tent within the curtain

riversident@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus, our forerunner, has entered in our behalf, becoming forever a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

riversident@Hebrews:7:4 @ But see how great this man was, since Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of his choicest spoils.

riversident@Hebrews:7:9 @ And, to put it frankly, Levi, who receives the tenths, was made to pay a tenth through Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when the priesthood has been changed there comes of necessity also a change of law.

riversident@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever had anything to do with the altar.

riversident@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a commandment made for the flesh, but according to the power of unending life.

riversident@Hebrews:7:18 @ There is a setting aside of the earlier commandment because of its weakness and uselessness \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:20 @ And just as it was not without an oath \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:21 @ for those men have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath from him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: thou art a priest forever" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much better is the covenant of which Jesus has become surety.

riversident@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because he continues forever, has an unending priesthood.

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:8:1 @ THE chief point of what I have been saying is this: we have such a High Priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

riversident@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain was the part called the Holy of Holies.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

riversident@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence.

riversident@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is valid in the case of the dead: it never has any force while the testator is living.

riversident@Hebrews:9:18 @ Hence the first covenant was not introduced without blood.

riversident@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded for you."

riversident@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

riversident@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself often, as the High Priest enters into the holy place every year with blood not his own;

riversident@Hebrews:9:26 @ then he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to do away with sin by his sacrifice.

riversident@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men once for all to die and after this comes judgment,

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:2 @ since would they not have ceased offering them? Because the worshipers, once for all cleansed, would have had no consciousness of sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:8 @ He first says, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in," such as are offered according to the Law,

riversident@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are made holy.

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:35 @ Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.

riversident@Hebrews:10:38 @ My righteous man will live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul has no delight in him."

riversident@Hebrews:11:1 @ FAITH is an assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

riversident@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them \'97 of being called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

riversident@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:25 @ He chose rather to suffer hard-ship with the people of God than to enjoy the brief pleasure of sin,

riversident@Hebrews:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; for he endured as if seeing him who is unseen.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

riversident@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as on dry land; but the Egyptians when they tried to do so were drowned.

riversident@Hebrews:11:38 @ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in caves and in holes in the earth.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@James:2:17 @ Just so faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

riversident@2Peter:2:1 @ BUT false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, and they will craftily bring in deadly heresies, even disowning the Lord who bought them and bringing on themselves quick ruin.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who go after flesh in polluting passions, and despise lordship. They are daring, self-willed; they do not tremble to speak insultingly of glorious beings

riversident@2Peter:2:13 @ and will suffer unrighteously as the reward of their own unrighteousness. They think it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blots as they revel in their deceptions while they feast sumptuously with you.

riversident@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes engrossed with some adulteress, eyes which never cease from sin. They seduce unsteady souls. They have hearts practiced in covetousness. They are children of a curse.

riversident@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was reproved for his sin; a dumb beast of draught, speaking with human voice, checked the madness of the prophet.

riversident@2Peter:2:18 @ For by speaking great empty swelling words they entrap in the passions of the flesh \'97 wanton excesses \'97 those who are nearly escaping from those who live in error.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

riversident@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth are by the same word treasured up and kept for fire on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:16 @ So he writes in all his letters when speaking in them of these things. In those letters are some things hard to understand, and these the unlearned and unsteady twist, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@1John:1:1 @ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched \'97 it is about the Word of Life

riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

riversident@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him.

riversident@1John:2:6 @ He who says that he is abiding in him ought himself to live as he lived.

riversident@1John:2:8 @ Again I am writing a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away with its passions. But he who does the will of God endures forever.

riversident@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the last hour.

riversident@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

riversident@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that he has promised us \'97 the life eternal.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @ SEE what love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why tho world does not know us is that it did not know him.

riversident@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are now children of God and it is not yet plain what we shall be. But we know that if he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

riversident@1John:3:3 @ And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ is pure.

riversident@1John:3:6 @ Whoever remains in him does not sin; whoever sins has not seen him nor known him.

riversident@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who is doing righteousness is righteous as Christ is righteous.

riversident@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared \'97 to undo the works of the Devil.

riversident@1John:3:9 @ No one who has been born of God commits sin, for God's life-giving germ remains in him and he cannot continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

riversident@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has life eternal remaining in him.

riversident@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

riversident@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us \'97 by the Spirit which he has given to us.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.

riversident@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God has so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

riversident@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another God abides in us and his love is made perfect in us.

riversident@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has imparted to us of his Spirit.

riversident@1John:4:14 @ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has pain. He who fears has not been made perfect in love.

riversident@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

riversident@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

riversident@1John:5:18 @ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father.

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:8 @ Guard yourselves so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so that you may gain a full reward.

riversident@2John:1:9 @ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

riversident@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that in everything you may prosper and be in health, just as your soul now prospers.

riversident@3John:1:7 @ For it was for the Name that they came out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

riversident@3John:1:8 @ We ought to help such men so as to be fellow workers with the truth.

riversident@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil, but good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil has not seen God.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in, who of old were written of as predestined to this doom, godless, changing the grace of our God into profligacy and disowning our only Ruler and Lord, Jesus Christ.

riversident@Jude:1:6 @ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

riversident@Jude:1:7 @ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which in the same way gave themselves up to unchastity and the pursuit of unnatural vices, serve as an example while they undergo the punishment of eternal fire.

riversident@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the arch-angel, when in dispute with the Devil he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him an abusive judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

riversident@Jude:1:10 @ But these speak profanely of whatever they do not know, and all that physically as irrational animals they do understand, in these things they corrupt themselves.

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:12 @ These are the hidden reefs in your love-feasts while they feast freely with you without fear, shepherds who care only for themselves, waterless clouds driven by winds, trees in autumn fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

riversident@Jude:1:16 @ These men are complaining grumblers, living according to their own passions, and their mouths speak great swelling words. They show admiration for persons for the sake of their own gain.

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven Churches in Asia: Grace be to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

riversident@Revelation:1:7 @ He is coming with clouds and every eye will see him, even of those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts because of him. Yes, Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:10 @ I became in the Spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

riversident@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me, and upon turning I saw seven golden lampstands

riversident@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed in a robe that reached his feet, and girded across the breast with a golden girdle.

riversident@Revelation:1:15 @ and his feet were like fine brass when molten in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.

riversident@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in his right hand seven stars, and from his mouth there issued a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in full strength.

riversident@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him I fell at his feet as if dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said:

riversident@Revelation:4:1 @ AFTER this I looked and there was an open door in heaven and the voice that I had heard at first, as if of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here and I will show you things that must come to pass hereafter."

riversident@Revelation:4:2 @ Immediately I became in the Spirit. A throne was standing in heaven and on the throne One was sitting.

riversident@Revelation:4:3 @ He who was sitting there was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius. A rainbow, in appearance like an emerald, encircled the throne.

riversident@Revelation:4:6 @ Before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea, like crystal. Near the throne and around the throne there were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

riversident@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

riversident@Revelation:4:8 @ The four living creatures have each six wings, and around and within they are full of eyes. They cease not saying day and night, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come."

riversident@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying,

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:3 @ But no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:4 @ I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book and its seven seals."

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:9 @ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne and the voices of the four living creatures and of the elders \'97 the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands \'97

riversident@Revelation:5:12 @ crying aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."

riversident@Revelation:6:1 @ THEN I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals and I heard one of the living creatures say, as if with a voice of thunder, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked and there came a white horse, and he who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked and there came a pale yellow horse. The name of him who was sitting on it was Death, and Hades was following along with him. Authority was granted to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and with the wild beasts of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:14 @ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:6 @ Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:7:15 @ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night in his Temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

riversident@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and much incense was given to him for him to put with the prayers of all the holy on the golden altar before the throne.

riversident@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet and, as it were, a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @ THE fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. There was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

riversident@Revelation:9:2 @ And he opened the pit of the abyss and smoke came up from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened and the air also by the smoke of the pit.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:4 @ It was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor anything green nor any tree, but only the people that did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:9:5 @ It was not granted to them to kill such, but to torment them five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The noise of their wings was like the noise of many-horsed chariots rushing into battle.

riversident@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails as scorpions have, and stings, and with their tails they have power to harm men five months.

riversident@Revelation:9:12 @ One woe has passed. Two woes are still to come.

riversident@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @ This is how the horses and those who sat on them appeared to me in the vision: The riders had breastplates, fiery red, dark blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:9:21 @ nor did they repent of their murders nor of their magic nor of their unchastities nor of their thefts.

riversident@Revelation:10:1 @ THEN I saw another strong angel descending from heaven. He was clothed in a cloud and the rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he soon shall sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God has been finished, according to the good news that he gave to his servants the prophets."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:11:1 @ THEN a reed like a measuring stick was given to me with the words, "Rise and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who are worshiping at it.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:8 @ Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

riversident@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe has passed: the third Woe will come soon.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast become king.

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:1 @ A GREAT sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. The moon was under her feet and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.

riversident@Revelation:12:2 @ She was with child and cried out in the pangs and anguish of child-birth.

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @ and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth to a child, so that he might devour the child as soon as it was born.

riversident@Revelation:12:5 @ She gave birth to a son who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. Then the child was caught up to God and to his throne.

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:8 @ but they failed, and no place was found for them any longer in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:12:9 @ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world \'97 he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:13:1 @ THEN I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw rising out of the sea a Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten diadems and upon his heads were profane names.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @ The Beast that I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's feet and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave to him his own power and his throne and great authority.

riversident@Revelation:13:3 @ I saw one of his heads, as it were, mortally wounded, but the mortal wound was healed. The whole world followed the Beast in amazement,

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:5 @ There was given to him a mouth speaking boasts and profanities, and there was given to him power to act for forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

riversident@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear let him hear.

riversident@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the land. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:14 @ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark \'97 the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:2 @ I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters, like the sound of loud thunder. The sound that I heard was as of harpers playing on their harps.

riversident@Revelation:14:4 @ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were ransomed from among men as first-fruits for God and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of her passion for unchastity."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:16 @ He who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the earth was reaped.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:14:20 @ The winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out from the wine-press as high as the horses' bridles for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

riversident@Revelation:15:1 @ THEN I saw another sign in heaven. It was great and wonderful \'97 seven angels with the seven plagues which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is fully executed.

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked and the Temple of the Tent of testimony in heaven was opened,

riversident@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels with the seven last plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure shining linen and girded around their breasts with golden girdles.

riversident@Revelation:15:8 @ The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @ for they poured out the blood of thy holy ones and prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

riversident@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the Gentiles fell. Then Babylon the Great was remembered before God \'97 to give to her the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:3 @ He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast covered with profane names, and with seven heads and ten horns.

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:5 @ On her forehead was written a mysterious name: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @ The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:11 @ The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city that has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:10 @ Standing afar because of their dismay at her torture, they will say, 'Alas, alas, O great city, Babylon the strong city, for in one hour your doom has come!'

riversident@Revelation:18:12 @ cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, all kinds of citrus wood and their many kinds of articles of ivory and their many kinds of articles of costliest wood and brass and iron and marble,

riversident@Revelation:18:16 @ and saying: 'Alas, alas, for the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

riversident@Revelation:18:17 @ For in one hour this vast wealth has given place to desolation.' " Every ship captain and every one who sails anywhere, and sailors and all who gain their living on the sea, stood afar

riversident@Revelation:18:18 @ and shouted as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city could compare with the great city?"

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never more be heard in you. No master of any art will ever more be found in you. The sound of the mill will never more be heard in you.

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp will never more shine in you. The voices of bridegroom and bride will never again be heard in you. Your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your magic arts all the nations were led astray.

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:3 @ Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! Her smoke will ascend for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has prepared herself

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven open and there was a white horse, and he who was sitting on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

riversident@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written which no one but himself knows,

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @ And the Beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who did miracles in his presence and thereby misled those who received the mark of the Beast and who worshiped his image. The two were flung alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,

riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

riversident@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was sitting on it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged out of what was written in the books according to their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:15 @ If any one was not found written in the Book of Life he was flung into the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:21:1 @ THEN I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more.

riversident@Revelation:21:2 @ I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

riversident@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like that of a most precious stone, like crystalline jasper.

riversident@Revelation:21:13 @ On the east were three gates and on the north three gates and on the south three gates and on the west three gates.

riversident@Revelation:21:16 @ The city stands foursquare and the length is the same as the breadth. He measured the city with the reed. It extends twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

riversident@Revelation:21:17 @ He measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is also that of an angel.

riversident@Revelation:21:18 @ The material of the wall of it was jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
