bwe@Matthew:16:23 @ But Jesus turned to Peter and said, Get away from me Satan! You are trying to make me do wrong. You are not thinking the way God thinks, but the way people think.

bwe@Matthew:16:26 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself, but loses his life? What can a person give to get back his life?

bwe@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them. He said, Get up. Do not fear.

bwe@Matthew:17:8 @ When they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:17:21 @ But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast <FI>do not eat food for a time<Fi>.

bwe@Matthew:17:23 @ They will kill him. But he will be raised on the third day. This troubled the disciples very much.

bwe@Matthew:17:27 @ But we must not make them think something wrong about us. So go to the sea. Throw a fish-hook into the water. Take the first fish you catch. Open its mouth and you will see a piece of money. Take it and pay them the tax for you and me.

bwe@Matthew:19:8 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard. That is why he let you send your wives away. But in the beginning it was not that way.

bwe@Matthew:19:9 @ But I tell you this. No man may send his wife away unless she has committed adultery. If he does, and if he marries another woman, he commits adultery. And if a man marries a woman who has been sent away by her husband, he commits adultery.

bwe@Matthew:19:11 @ Jesus said, Not everyone can agree to that. But God has chosen some not to be married.

bwe@Matthew:19:14 @ But Jesus said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.

bwe@Matthew:19:26 @ Jesus looked at them and said, Men cannot do it, but God can do anything.

bwe@Matthew:19:30 @ But many people who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first.

bwe@Matthew:20:10 @ Those who started work first thought they would get more than that. But they also were paid a days wages.

bwe@Matthew:20:11 @ They took it, but they were angry and talked against the man who owned the farm.

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

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

bwe@Matthew:20:23 @ Then Jesus said to them, You will drink what I drink. But I cannot choose who will sit at my right or at my left. My Father has planned who will sit there.

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

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

bwe@Matthew:20:28 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Matthew:20:31 @ The people said to them, Be quiet! But they shouted louder, Sir, Son of David! Help us!

bwe@Matthew:21:13 @ He said to them, The holy writings say, "My house shall be called a house where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

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

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

bwe@Matthew:21:29 @ The son said, "No, I will not go." But he changed his mind and went.

bwe@Matthew:21:30 @ The man went to the second son and said the same thing. The son answered, "Yes, sir, I will go." But he did not go.

bwe@Matthew:21:32 @ John came to you to tell you the right way. But you did not believe him. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery believed him. And even when you saw that, you did not change your minds and believe him.

bwe@Matthew:21:44 @ If anyone falls on this stone, he will be broken to pieces. But if this stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.

bwe@Matthew:22:3 @ The king sent his servants to call the people who had been asked to the wedding. But they would not come.

bwe@Matthew:23:3 @ So obey and do everything they tell you to do. But do not do what they do. They say what should be done, but they do it not.

bwe@Matthew:23:4 @ They make heavy loads and put them on peoples backs. But they themselves will not put up even one finger to help carry the loads.

bwe@Matthew:23:8 @ But people should not call you "Teacher". You have one Teacher. And you are all brothers.

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

bwe@Matthew:23:18 @ And you say that if anyone makes a promise in the name of Gods altar, he does not have to keep that promise. But if anyone makes a promise in the name of the sacrifice, he must keep that promise.

bwe@Matthew:23:23 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You give God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you have not done those bigger matters of the law. You have not judged in the right way. You have not been kind. You have not believed God. You should be doing these things and the other things too.

bwe@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind leaders! You take a fly out of your cup, but you drink down a big animal like a camel!

bwe@Matthew:23:25 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside they are full of greed and wrong ways!

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

bwe@Matthew:23:28 @ So it is with you. You look right on the outside. But inside you are full of lies and wrong ways.

bwe@Matthew:23:37 @ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You throw stones to kill the men who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your people together, as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Matthew:24:2 @ But Jesus answered them, Do you see these buildings? I tell you the truth. Not one stone here will be left on top of another stone. They will all be thrown down!

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

bwe@Matthew:24:24 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets. But they are not true. They will show big signs and do wonderful things to fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

bwe@Matthew:24:35 @ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

bwe@Matthew:24:36 @ But no one knows the day and the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

bwe@Matthew:24:48 @ But if the servant is bad, he will say to himself, "My master will not come just now."

bwe@Matthew:25:3 @ The five foolish women took their lamps but took no oil with them.

bwe@Matthew:25:18 @ But the man who had only one bag of money dug a hole in the ground. And he hid his masters money in the ground.

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

bwe@Matthew:25:46 @ And they will go away to be punished for ever. But the good people will go away to live for ever.

bwe@Matthew:26:11 @ You will always have poor people with you. But I will not always be with you.

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

bwe@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I am raised from death, I will go to Galilee to meet you.

bwe@Matthew:26:39 @ Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.

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

bwe@Matthew:26:42 @ Jesus went away again. He talked to God and said, My Father, if you do not want this cup to pass by me, but you want me to drink it, I will do what you want.

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

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

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

bwe@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest said to him, I ask you in the name of the living God. Tell us. Are you the Christ, the Son of God?

bwe@Matthew:26:70 @ But Peter said in front of them all, I do not know what you are talking about.

bwe@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer him, not even one word. Pilate was very much surprised about this.

bwe@Matthew:27:20 @ The chief priests and leaders talked to the people. They told them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free, but to kill Jesus.

bwe@Matthew:27:23 @ The ruler said, What wrong thing has he done? But they shouted even more, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Matthew:27:34 @ They wanted Jesus to drink wine mixed with something bitter. Jesus tasted it but he would not drink it.

bwe@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptised you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went out and told everyone everywhere what had happened to him. Because he did this, Jesus could not go into any large town freely. He stayed in places where only a few people were. There people came to him from everywhere.

bwe@Mark:2:4 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. They made a hole in the roof. Then they let down the mat with the sick man on it.

bwe@Mark:2:7 @ They were thinking, Why does this man say such wrong things against God? He is not giving God respect! Who can forgive the wrong things people do? No one but God can do that.

bwe@Mark:2:17 @ Jesus heard it. He said to them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him. I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Mark:2:20 @ But the time will come when he will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.

bwe@Mark:2:26 @ He went into Gods house when Abiathar was the high priest. Some bread was there for God. It was not right for them to eat it. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the people who were with him.

bwe@Mark:3:4 @ Then he spoke to the Pharisees. He said, Is it right to do good things on the Sabbath day or to do wrong things? Is it right to heal people so they will live, or to let them die? But the Pharisees said nothing.

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

bwe@Mark:4:8 @ But some seed fell on good ground. That seed grew and the plants gave more seed. Some plants gave thirty seeds. Some gave sixty. And some gave a hundred.

bwe@Mark:4:11 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But we must use stories to tell the other people.

bwe@Mark:4:12 @ They may look and look, but they will not see. They may listen and listen, but they will not understand. If they did understand, they would turn back to God and he would forgive them for the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Mark:4:15 @ Those beside the road are like people who hear the message. But as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes it out of their hearts

bwe@Mark:4:19 @ But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and other things to be happy. These things push the message out of their hearts. No good comes from it.

bwe@Mark:4:20 @ But some seed fell on good ground. That is like people who hear the message and understand it. Much good comes from it. Some people are like the seed that made thirty seeds. Some people are like the seed that gave sixty. Some people are like the seed that gave a hundred.

bwe@Mark:4:21 @ Then Jesus said to them, People do not bring a light and put it under a basket or under a bed. But they put it on the place for a lamp.

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

bwe@Mark:4:27 @ Then he goes on just as he did before. He sleeps at night and wakes up in the morning. The seed begins to grow but he doesnt know what makes it grow.

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

bwe@Mark:5:4 @ Many times people had tied him with strong ropes and chains. But he broke the chains and tore the ropes into many pieces. No person was strong enough to hold the man.

bwe@Mark:5:6 @ Jesus was still far from him, but when he saw Jesus he ran to him. He kneeled down in front of Jesus and worshipped him.

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

bwe@Mark:5:26 @ Many doctors tried to heal her. She spent all the money she had to pay them. She was not better, but was getting worse.

bwe@Mark:5:31 @ But his disciples said to him, You see all these people pushing around you. Why do you ask, "Who touched me?"

bwe@Mark:5:39 @ When he came into the house, he said to them, Why do you make so much noise and cry? The girl is not dead, but is sleeping.

bwe@Mark:6:4 @ Jesus said to them, Other people honour a man who is a prophet of God. But the people in his own country, his own home, and his family, do not honour him.

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

bwe@Mark:6:9 @ Wear shoes, but do not take extra clothing with you.

bwe@Mark:6:17 @ Herod had sent his people to catch John. They tied him and put him in prison to please Herodias. Herod had married her, but she was his brother Philips wife.

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

bwe@Mark:6:26 @ The king was very sorry. But he had made a promise and all the people at the feast had heard him promise. He wanted to do what he promised her.

bwe@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought it was a spirit. They shouted loudly.

bwe@Mark:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: "These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men."

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

bwe@Mark:7:15 @ What goes into a persons mouth does not make him dirty. But what comes out of a persons mouth makes him dirty.

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

bwe@Mark:7:20 @ But he said, What comes out of a person makes him dirty. 21,

bwe@Mark:7:23 @ Then Jesus went away to the country of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. But he could not hide from the people.

bwe@Mark:7:26 @ But Jesus said to her, We will give the children all they want to eat first. It is not right to take the childrens food and give it to the little dogs.

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

bwe@Mark:7:35 @ Jesus said, Do not tell anyone. But the more he told them not to tell, the more they told it everywhere.

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

bwe@Mark:8:29 @ Then he asked them, But who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ.

bwe@Mark:8:33 @ Jesus turned around and saw the disciples. Then he talked to Peter. He said, Get away from me, Satan! You are not thinking the way God thinks, but the way people think.

bwe@Mark:8:36 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself but loses his soul?

bwe@Mark:9:8 @ They quickly looked around but they saw no one except Jesus there with them.

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

bwe@Mark:9:18 @ Wherever it takes hold of him, it throws him around. It makes him foam at his mouth. It makes him make noises with his teeth. He is getting weak and thin. I asked your disciples to drive the bad spirit out, but they could not do it.

bwe@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took his hand and helped him to get up. The boy stood up.

bwe@Mark:9:34 @ But they said nothing, because on the road they had been talking among themselves about who was the greatest person.

bwe@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, Master, we saw a man driving bad spirits out of people. He was using your name, but he is not one of us. So we told him to stop because he is not one of us.

bwe@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? You must have salt in yourselves and live in peace with one another.

bwe@Mark:10:8 @ The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.

bwe@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were surprised at his words. But Jesus said again, Children, it is very hard for people who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God.

bwe@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, Men cannot do it but God can, because God can do anything.

bwe@Mark:10:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his brothers, or his sisters, his mother, or his father, or his children, or farms, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, he will receive his pay in this life. He will have a hundred times as many houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and farms. He will have trouble also. But in the next world he will live for ever.

bwe@Mark:10:31 @ But many people who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first.

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

bwe@Mark:10:40 @ But I cannot choose who will sit at my right hand or at my left. It has been planned who will sit there.

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

bwe@Mark:10:45 @ The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

bwe@Mark:10:48 @ Many people said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Mark:11:17 @ He taught the people, saying, The holy writings say, "My house shall be called a house for all tribes and nations, where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

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

bwe@Mark:11:26 @ But if you do not forgive others, your Father in heaven will not forgive you for the wrong things you have done.

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

bwe@Mark:12:7 @ But the men said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him. Then everything will belong to us."

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

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

bwe@Mark:12:19 @ Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: if a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother.

bwe@Mark:12:25 @ When people rise from death, men and women do not marry. But they are like angels in heaven.

bwe@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of dead people, but of living people. The way you look at things is wrong altogether.

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

bwe@Mark:13:9 @ But you must take care. Men will take you to court. They will beat you in their meeting houses. They will take you to rulers and kings because you are true to me. You will talk to them about me.

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

bwe@Mark:13:13 @ All people will hate you because you are true to me. But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end will be saved.

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

bwe@Mark:13:31 @ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

bwe@Mark:13:32 @ But no one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

bwe@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, Let us not do it on the day of the feast. We do not want the people to start fighting about it.

bwe@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, Leave the woman alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good thing to me.

bwe@Mark:14:7 @ You will always have poor people with you. Any time you want to, you can do good to them. But I will not always be with you.

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

bwe@Mark:14:28 @ But after I am raised from death, I will go to Galilee to meet you.

bwe@Mark:14:36 @ He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.

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

bwe@Mark:14:49 @ Every day I was with you in the temple and taught. You did not catch me then. But what the holy writings say will come true.

bwe@Mark:14:52 @ But he left the cloth behind and ran away without any clothes on.

bwe@Mark:14:55 @ The chief priests, and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him. But they found none.

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

bwe@Mark:14:58 @ They said, We heard him say, "I will break down this temple which people have built with hands. In three days I will build another temple but not with hands."

bwe@Mark:14:61 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest asked him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?

bwe@Mark:14:68 @ But Peter said, I do not know or understand what you are talking about. Peter went out to the gate. Then a cock called.

bwe@Mark:14:70 @ But again Peter said he was not. A little while after, those standing around said to Peter, Surely you are one of them also. You come from Galilee.

bwe@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus said nothing. Pilate was very much surprised about this.

bwe@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests talked to the people. They told them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free.

bwe@Mark:15:14 @ Pilate then asked, Why, what wrong thing has he done? But they shouted even more, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Mark:15:23 @ They wanted Jesus to drink wine mixed with something bitter. But Jesus would not drink it.

bwe@Mark:15:31 @ The chief priests and the scribes also made fun of him. He saved other people, but he cannot save himself!

bwe@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea was a member of the court. He was a good man. He also was looking for the kingdom of God. He was not afraid, but went to Pilate and asked him for Jesus body.

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

bwe@Mark:16:13 @ They went back and told the rest of the disciples, but they would not believe them either.

bwe@Mark:16:16 @ The one who believes the good news and is baptised will be saved. But he who does not believe will be judged and punished.

bwe@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no children. Elizabeth was not able to have a baby and they were both very old.

bwe@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said, Do not be afraid, Zechariah. You have been talking to God. He has heard you. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son. Name him John.

bwe@Luke:1:37 @ But God can do anything.

bwe@Luke:1:60 @ But his mother said, No, his name is to be John.

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

bwe@Luke:2:37 @ Then her husband died. Now she had been alone for eighty-four years. She did not leave the temple, but worshipped day and night. She talked with God and fasted <FI>did not eat food for a time<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:2:43 @ After the days of the feast were finished, they started home. But the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it.

bwe@Luke:2:45 @ But they did not find him. So they went back to Jerusalem and looked for him.

bwe@Luke:2:51 @ He went with them back to Nazareth and obeyed them. But his mother remembered all these things.

bwe@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, I baptise you with water. But another person is coming. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings. He will baptise you with the Holy spirit and with fire.

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

bwe@Luke:4:26 @ But Elijah was not sent to any of these widowed women in Israel. He was sent to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

bwe@Luke:4:30 @ But Jesus walked out between them and went away.

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

bwe@Luke:4:43 @ But he said to them, I must tell the good news to the people in other towns also. It is the news of Gods kingdom. I was sent to tell this.

bwe@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, Master, we worked hard all night and did not catch anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.

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

bwe@Luke:5:15 @ But more people heard about Jesus than before. And many people gathered to hear him, and so be healed.

bwe@Luke:5:19 @ But they could not get in the house where Jesus was, because there were so many people. So they went up on the roof. Then through a hole in the roof they let down the bed with the sick man on it, until he was in front of Jesus.

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

bwe@Luke:5:31 @ Jesus answered them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him.

bwe@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, The disciples or followers of John are often fasting <FI>not eating for a time<Fi>, and they talk with God. The disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.

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

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

bwe@Luke:6:8 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He spoke to the man whose hand was thin and weak. He said, Come and stand here in front The man stood up.

bwe@Luke:6:24 @ But you who are rich will have trouble. You have already had your good times.

bwe@Luke:6:27 @ But I say to you who hear, love your enemies. Do good things to those who hate you.

bwe@Luke:6:40 @ The one who learns is not better than his teacher. But every one who learns will be like his teacher when his teacher has finished teaching him.

bwe@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the dust out of your eye"? But you do not see the stick in your own eye. You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.

bwe@Luke:6:46 @ Why do you call me "Lord, Lord," but you do not do what I tell you?

bwe@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man who built a house. He dug down deep in the ground and made it stand on a rock. The water in the river came up high. The water beat hard against the house. But the house did not move, because it was built on a rock.

bwe@Luke:6:49 @ A man hears what I say but does not obey me. He is like a man who built his house on top of the ground. He did not dig down deep. The water beat hard against it and it fell with a loud noise!

bwe@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and teachers of the law would not follow Gods way and they were not baptised by John.

bwe@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children who sit in the market. They call to other children. They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."

bwe@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned towards the woman. He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

bwe@Luke:7:45 @ You did not kiss me. But since she came in, she has kissed my feet again and again.

bwe@Luke:7:46 @ You did not put oil on my head. But she has put sweet smelling oil on my feet.

bwe@Luke:7:47 @ So I tell you, she has done many wrong things, but she has been forgiven because she loved me so much. But one who has been forgiven a little loves me only a little

bwe@Luke:8:2 @ Some women were also with him. They had bad spirits and had been sick. But they had been healed. One was Mary, called Magdalene. Seven bad spirits had gone out of her.

bwe@Luke:8:6 @ Some seed fell on the stony ground. It grew but soon died because the place was too dry.

bwe@Luke:8:8 @ But some seed fell on good ground and it grew well. Those plants gave a hundred times as much grain as the man sowed. When Jesus had said this, he called out, Everyone who has ears to hear, listen!

bwe@Luke:8:10 @ He said to them, You can learn the secret things about the kingdom of God. But other people must have stories. They will look, but they will not see. They will hear, but they will not understand.

bwe@Luke:8:13 @ Some seeds fell on the stones. They are like people who are glad when they hear the word. But it does not go down deep into their hearts. They believe for a short time. But when they have trouble they stop believing.

bwe@Luke:8:14 @ Some seeds fell among the weeds. They are like people who hear the word. But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and things to be happy in this life. As they go on in life, these things push the message out of their hearts and no good comes from them.

bwe@Luke:8:16 @ No person lights a lamp and covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed. But he puts it on the place for a lamp. Then people who come in can see the light.

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

bwe@Luke:8:21 @ But he said to them, These people who hear the word of God and do it, they are my mother and my brothers.

bwe@Luke:8:27 @ As Jesus got out of the boat a man met him from the town. He had bad spirits in him. He had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house, but among the graves.

bwe@Luke:8:29 @ He said this because Jesus had told the bad spirit to come out of the man. Many times the spirit had taken hold of the man. People had guarded him. They had tied him with chains and strong ropes. But he broke the chains and ropes. The bad spirit drove him into the desert.

bwe@Luke:8:38 @ The man from whom the bad spirits had gone begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him away.

bwe@Luke:8:43 @ A woman among them had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time. She had given all her money to the doctors, but no one had been able to heal her.

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

bwe@Luke:8:52 @ All the people were crying and making a lot of noise because she had died. But he said, Do not cry. She is not dead, but sleeping.

bwe@Luke:9:11 @ But the people found out and they followed him. He was glad to see them and talked to them about Gods kingdom. He healed those who were sick.

bwe@Luke:9:13 @ But Jesus said to them, You give them food to eat. They said, All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish. Shall we go and buy food for all these people?

bwe@Luke:9:20 @ Jesus said, But who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ sent by God.

bwe@Luke:9:25 @ What good will it do a man if he gets the whole world for himself but loses his life or spoils it?

bwe@Luke:9:40 @ I begged your disciples to drive the bad spirit out, but they could not do it.

bwe@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand what he said. The meaning was hidden from them so they would not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about it.

bwe@Luke:9:50 @ But Jesus said, Do not stop him. Anyone who is not against you is on your side.

bwe@Luke:9:53 @ But the people would not take him in because he was going to Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and said to them, Stop that! You do not think about what kind of spirit you are showing.

bwe@Luke:9:56 @ The Son of Man did not come to kill people, but to save them. And they went on to another town.

bwe@Luke:9:58 @ Jesus said, Foxes have holes to live in. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lie down to rest.

bwe@Luke:9:59 @ Jesus said to another man who followed him, Come with me. But the man said, Lord, let me go first and bury my father.

bwe@Luke:9:61 @ Another man said to Jesus, Sir, I will go with you. But let me go first to my home and tell them I am going.

bwe@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them, The harvest is much, but there are not many people to gather it. So talk to the Lord of this harvest and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Luke:10:10 @ But when you go into a town and they do not take you in, then go out into the streets of the town.

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

bwe@Luke:10:14 @ But on the day when people are judged you will be punished more than the people in the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

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

bwe@Luke:10:21 @ At that same time the Holy Spirit made Jesus very happy. Jesus said, Father, you are Lord of heaven and earth. I thank you because you have hidden these things from people who are wise and know many things. But you have shown them to people who are like children. Yes, Father. That was the way you wanted it.

bwe@Luke:10:22 @ My Father has given everything to me. No one knows who the Son is but the Father. No one knows who the Father is but the Son and those to whom the Son wants to show him.

bwe@Luke:10:24 @ I tell you this. Many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see. But they did not see them. They wanted to hear the things you hear. But they did not hear them.

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

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

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

bwe@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was very busy doing many things for Jesus. She came to Jesus and said, Lord, my sister has left me to do all the work. Do you not care? Tell her to come and help me.

bwe@Luke:11:8 @ I tell you this. Maybe he will not give him anything because he is his friend. But he will get up and give him what he needs because he keeps on asking for it.

bwe@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.

bwe@Luke:11:17 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is spoiled. And if one part of any family fights against the other part of the family, it cannot stand.

bwe@Luke:11:20 @ But if I drive out bad spirits by the help of God, then know this, Gods kingdom is here with you now.

bwe@Luke:11:22 @ But when a stronger man comes, he catches the man who guards his house. He will take away what is in the mans hand. And he will take his things and give them to his friends.

bwe@Luke:11:24 @ When a bad spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places. He looks for a place to rest, but he does not find any. Then he says, "I will go back to my house from where I came."

bwe@Luke:11:28 @ But Jesus said, Happy are those who hear Gods word and obey it!

bwe@Luke:11:29 @ More and more people were coming. He started to talk. He said, People today are bad. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah the prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:11:33 @ No person lights a lamp and hides it in a hole or puts it under a basket. But he puts it on a place for a lamp. Then people who come in can see the light.

bwe@Luke:11:34 @ Your body gets its light through your eyes. When you have good eyes, all your body has light. But when your eyes are bad, your body is in darkness.

bwe@Luke:11:39 @ The Lord said to him, You Pharisees wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside you are full of greed and wrong ways.

bwe@Luke:11:42 @ You Pharisees will have trouble! You give to God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you do not judge in the right way. And you do not love God. You should do these things and the other things too.

bwe@Luke:11:46 @ Jesus said, You men will have trouble also! You put heavy loads on peoples backs. But you yourselves will not put up one finger to help carry the loads.

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

bwe@Luke:12:10 @ Everyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says wrong things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

bwe@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, "You are a fool! Tonight you will die. Then who will have all the things you have kept for yourself?"

bwe@Luke:12:27 @ Think about the flowers. See how they grow. They do not work or make cloth. I tell you, King Solomon was a great man. But he was not dressed as fine as one of these flowers.

bwe@Luke:12:31 @ But work for Gods kingdom. Then you will have all these things also.

bwe@Luke:12:38 @ He may come in the middle of the night or when it is nearly morning. But if they are watching for the master, they will be happy.

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

bwe@Luke:12:47 @ A servant knew what his master wanted. But he was not ready. He did not do what his master wanted him to do. So he will be beaten much.

bwe@Luke:12:48 @ But if a servant did not know and did something bad, he will be beaten only a little. To whom much has been given, from him much will be asked. When people give much to anyone, they will ask more from him.

bwe@Luke:12:56 @ You are not true to yourselves! You know the meaning of these signs in the earth and sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.

bwe@Luke:13:3 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, then you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:5 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:6 @ Then Jesus told this story: A man had a fruit tree on his farm. He came to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.

bwe@Luke:13:7 @ He said to the man who cared for the trees, "For three years I have come to look for fruit on this tree, but I have not found any. Cut it down. Why should it spoil my farmland?"

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

bwe@Luke:13:24 @ Jesus answered, Try hard to go in by the small gate. I tell you, many will want to go in but they will not be able.

bwe@Luke:13:25 @ The master of the house will get up and lock the door. Then you will be standing outside. You will begin to knock on the door and call, "Sir, open the door for us!" But he will answer, "I do not know where you belong."

bwe@Luke:13:27 @ But he will say, "I tell you, I do not know where you belong. Go away from me all you who do wrong! "

bwe@Luke:13:33 @ But I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day. A prophet of God cannot be killed outside of Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:13:34 @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets of God. You throw stones to kill men who are sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your people together as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are asked to go to a wedding, go and sit down in the last place. Then when the man who called you comes, he will say to you, "Friend, come to a better place." Then all the people who sit at the table will see how he respects you.

bwe@Luke:14:13 @ But when you make a dinner, ask the people who are poor, hurt, lame, or blind.

bwe@Luke:14:16 @ But Jesus said to him, A man made a big feast and asked many people to come.

bwe@Luke:14:18 @ But the people all began to make excuses. The first one said, I have bought a farm. I must go and see it. I beg you, excuse me from the feast."

bwe@Luke:14:34 @ Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?

bwe@Luke:15:16 @ He would have been glad to eat the food the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything.

bwe@Luke:15:17 @ Then he started to get sense. He said, "My father has many men who work for him. They have plenty of food. But here I am dying because I have nothing to eat!

bwe@Luke:15:22 @ But his father said to his servants, "Go quickly and bring the best clothes. Dress him. Put a ring on his hand. Put shoes on his feet.

bwe@Luke:15:28 @ But the older son was angry. He would not go into the house. His father came out and begged him to come in.

bwe@Luke:15:29 @ But the son said to his father, "Look. I have worked hard for you for many years. I have always done everything you told me to do. And yet you never even gave me a young goat to make a feast with my friends.

bwe@Luke:15:30 @ But now this son of yours has come back. He has spent all your money and was with bad women. And yet you kill the fat calf for him!"

bwe@Luke:15:32 @ But now we should have a good time and be happy. Your brother was dead and now he is alive again. He was lost and is found."

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

bwe@Luke:16:15 @ He said to them, You try to make men think you are all right. But God knows your hearts. What men think is fine, God hates.

bwe@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said to him, "Son, remember this. You had a good time when you were living. Lazarus had a bad time when he was living. But now he is happy here and you are in pain.

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

bwe@Luke:16:29 @ But Abraham said, "They have Moses and the Prophets. They can listen to them."

bwe@Luke:16:30 @ He answered, "No, father Abraham! But if a man who had died went to them, they would stop their wrong ways."

bwe@Luke:17:1 @ Jesus said to his disciples, People will make other people do wrong. But the person who makes another person do wrong will have trouble.

bwe@Luke:17:4 @ Maybe he will do wrong to you seven times in one day. But if he comes to you seven times in one day and says, "I am sorry for what I did," then you must forgive him.

bwe@Luke:17:22 @ Jesus said to his disciples, The time will come when you will want to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it.

bwe@Luke:17:23 @ People will say to you, "Look! Here he is!" or "Look! There he is!" But do not go out or follow them.

bwe@Luke:17:25 @ But first he will have much trouble. The people who are living now will not believe in him.

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

bwe@Luke:18:4 @ For a long time he would not do it. But after a time he said, "I do not respect God or care about people.

bwe@Luke:18:5 @ But this woman is troubling me. So I will save her from her enemy. If I do not, she will keep coming until I am tired."

bwe@Luke:18:8 @ But I tell you, he will save them from their enemies soon. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find any people who believe in him?

bwe@Luke:18:13 @ The tax collector stood far away. He did not even look up towards heaven. But he beat his chest, and said, "God, I am a bad man. Help me!"

bwe@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of God belongs to people like them.

bwe@Luke:18:27 @ But Jesus said, God can do what men cannot do.

bwe@Luke:18:34 @ But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them and they did not understand what he said.

bwe@Luke:18:39 @ The people in front said, Be quiet! But he shouted louder and said, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Luke:19:3 @ He wanted to see who Jesus was but he could not see him because he was a short man and there were many people around him.

bwe@Luke:19:15 @ But he was given the power to rule and came back. Then he called the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much money each one had made by trading.

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

bwe@Luke:19:27 @ But where are those people who hate me and did not want me to rule over them? Bring them here and kill them right here in front of me."

bwe@Luke:19:42 @ He said, I wish you knew today what things would give you peace! But now you do not see what they are.

bwe@Luke:19:46 @ He said to them, It is written, "My house shall be a place where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

bwe@Luke:19:48 @ But they did not find any way they could do it. All the people stayed around to hear what Jesus said.

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

bwe@Luke:20:10 @ At harvest time the owner sent one of his servants to the men who used the farm. He wanted to have some fruit from the farm. But the men beat the servant and sent him away without any fruit.

bwe@Luke:20:14 @ But when the men saw him they said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him. Then everything will belong to us."

bwe@Luke:20:17 @ But Jesus looked right at them. He said, What about this writing then? "The stone which the builders would not use is now the chief corner stone."

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

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

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

bwe@Luke:20:28 @ They came to ask Jesus a question. Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."

bwe@Luke:20:35 @ But men and women who are good enough to have a place in the next world and to be raised from death do not marry.

bwe@Luke:20:38 @ He is not the God of dead people, but of living people. All people are alive to him.

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

bwe@Luke:21:9 @ When you hear about wars and fighting, do not fear. These things must happen first, but it is not the end right away.

bwe@Luke:21:12 @ But before all these things happen, people will catch you and trouble you. They will take you to the meeting houses to be judged. They will put you in prison. They will take you to kings and rulers because you are true to me.

bwe@Luke:21:18 @ But you will not lose one hair from your heads.

bwe@Luke:21:33 @ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

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

bwe@Luke:21:37 @ Jesus taught in the temple every day. But at night he went out and stayed on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Luke:22:2 @ The chief priests and the scribes planned how to kill Jesus. But they feared the people.

bwe@Luke:22:22 @ The Son of Man will go on as it was planned for him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble!

bwe@Luke:22:26 @ But it must not be so among you. The one who is greatest among you must be like the most unimportant. And the leader must be like one who helps others.

bwe@Luke:22:27 @ Which man is greater, the man who sits at the table or the man who helps him? Is it not the man who sits at the table? But I am like the man who helps you.

bwe@Luke:22:32 @ But I have talked to God about you, Simon, so that you will keep on believing in me. And when you come back, then help your brothers to be strong.

bwe@Luke:22:36 @ He said, But this time, anyone who has money should take it and his bag too. Anyone who has no sword should sell his coat and buy one.

bwe@Luke:22:42 @ He said, Father, if you will, take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want but what you want.

bwe@Luke:22:53 @ I was with you every day in the temple. You did not try to catch me then. But this is your time now, the time of the power of darkness.

bwe@Luke:22:57 @ But Peter said, Woman, I do not know him.

bwe@Luke:22:58 @ After a while, another person saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.

bwe@Luke:23:9 @ He asked Jesus many questions. But Jesus did not answer him.

bwe@Luke:23:18 @ But they all shouted, Kill this man! Let Barabbas go free for us!

bwe@Luke:23:21 @ But they shouted, Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross!"

bwe@Luke:23:23 @ But they shouted all the more loudly, saying, Nail him to a cross! And Pilate gave in to their shouting.

bwe@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus turned to them and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not cry for me. But cry for yourselves and for your children.

bwe@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood around watching. But the rulers made fun of him. They said, He saved other people. He should save himself if he is Gods Christ, Gods chosen one!

bwe@Luke:23:40 @ But the other bad man told him to stop. He said, Do you not even fear God? You are being punished just as he is.

bwe@Luke:23:41 @ It is right for us to be punished because we have done wrong things. But this man has done nothing bad.

bwe@Luke:24:3 @ So they went in. But they did not see the body of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Luke:24:11 @ But Peter got up and ran to the grave. He bowed down and looked in. He saw the linen clothes lying there, but nothing more. Then he left, wondering about what had happened.

bwe@Luke:24:15 @ But even though they saw him, they did not know who he was.

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

bwe@Luke:24:23 @ Some of us went to the grave. And they found everything just as the women said. But they did not see Jesus.

bwe@Luke:24:28 @ But they begged him not to go further. They said, Stay with us. It will soon be night. The day is almost finished. So he went in to stay with them.

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

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

bwe@John:1:12 @ But there were people who did believe in his name. They did receive him. He gave all those who received him and believed him the right to become children of God.

bwe@John:1:17 @ Moses gave the law, but Jesus Christ gave this loving kindness and truth.

bwe@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God. But his only Son is very near to his Fathers heart. He has told us plainly about God.

bwe@John:1:20 @ He did not hide the truth, but he told people plainly. He said, I am not the Christ.

bwe@John:1:26 @ John answered, I baptize people in water. But there is a man standing among you whom you do not know.

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

bwe@John:1:33 @ I myself did not know who he was. But he who sent me to baptize people in water told me. He said, "You will see the Spirit coming from the sky on a man. That man will baptize people in the Holy Spirit."

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

bwe@John:2:10 @ He said, Other people give the good wine at the beginning of the feast. When people have had all they want, then they give the wine which is not so good. But you have kept the good wine until now.

bwe@John:2:21 @ But Jesus was talking about the temple which was his body.

bwe@John:2:24 @ But Jesus would not trust himself to them.

bwe@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wants to blow. You can hear the sound of it. But you do not know where it comes from, and you do not know where it goes. It is the same way with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

bwe@John:3:11 @ I tell you the truth. We know what we are talking about. We talk about the things we have seen. But you will not believe what we tell you.

bwe@John:3:15 @ Then everyone who believes in him will not die, but will live for ever.

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

bwe@John:3:18 @ Everyone who believes in the Son will not be judged. But everyone who does not believe in him is judged already, because he does not believe in the name of Gods only Son.

bwe@John:3:19 @ Light came into the world. But people wanted to be in the dark because they did wrong things. They did not want the light. That is why they are judged.

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

bwe@John:3:28 @ You yourselves heard what I said. I am not the Christ but I have been sent ahead of the Christ.

bwe@John:3:30 @ He must become more and more great, but I must become less and less great.

bwe@John:3:32 @ He tells what he has seen and heard, but no one wants to believe what he says.

bwe@John:3:34 @ The one God sent speaks the words of God. God does not give him the Spirit little by little, but he gives the Spirit in full.

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

bwe@John:4:17 @ You have had five husbands, but the man you are living with now is not your husband. You have told the truth.

bwe@John:4:19 @ Our fathers came to this mountain to worship God. But you people say Jerusalem is the place people must go to worship him.

bwe@John:4:21 @ You worship one whom you do not know. But we know whom we worship. The Saviour will come of the Jews.

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

bwe@John:4:26 @ When Jesus had said this, his disciples came back. They were surprised to hear him talking to a woman. But not one of them asked, What do you want? or, Why are you talking to her?

bwe@John:4:41 @ They said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what you told us, but because of what he himself has told us. We know it is true. This is the Saviour of the world.

bwe@John:5:11 @ But he answered them, The man who healed me said to me, "Take up your bed and walk."

bwe@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them, My Father is still working and I am working also.

bwe@John:5:22 @ My Father judges no one, but he has made his Son to be the judge of everything.

bwe@John:5:29 @ They will come out of the graves. Those who have done what is good will come out to live. But those who have done what is wrong will come out to be punished.

bwe@John:5:30 @ I have no right to do anything myself. I judge the way I am told to judge. The way I judge people is right. I do not do what I myself want to do, but I do what my Father wants me to do. He sent me.

bwe@John:5:32 @ But someone else also speaks about me. I know what he says about me is true.

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

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

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

bwe@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Fathers name, but you will not receive me. If another person comes in his own name, then you will receive him.

bwe@John:5:44 @ How can you believe? You are always calling each other great, but you do not want the only God to make you great.

bwe@John:5:47 @ But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?

bwe@John:6:6 @ Jesus knew what he himself would do, but he said this to see what Philip would do.

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

bwe@John:6:17 @ They got in a boat and crossed over the sea toward the town of Capernaum. It was dark, but Jesus had not come back to them.

bwe@John:6:20 @ But Jesus said to them, It is I. Do not fear.

bwe@John:6:23 @ But there were some other boats from Tiberias. It was near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had thanked God for it.

bwe@John:6:26 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. You do not want me because you saw the big works I did, but you want me because you ate all the bread you wanted.

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

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

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

bwe@John:6:46 @ But no person has seen my Father. The only one who has seen him is the one who comes from God. He has seen my Father.

bwe@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate bread in the desert long ago, but they died.

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

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

bwe@John:6:64 @ But even so, some of you do not believe me. Jesus knew right from the beginning which ones of them would not believe. He knew who was going to give him over to people who hated him.

bwe@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, It is not yet the time for me to go. But you may go any time you want to.

bwe@John:7:7 @ The people of the world cannot hate you. But they hate me because I say what they do is wrong.

bwe@John:7:10 @ After his brothers went to the feast, Jesus went also. He did not go with the other people, but he went by himself.

bwe@John:7:13 @ But they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, so no one talked about him out in the open.

bwe@John:7:18 @ The person who speaks from his own mind only wants to be great himself. But the person whom God has sent wants to show that God is great. That person is true. He is not a bad man.

bwe@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you the law of circumcision. You obey the law, not because it came from Moses, but because it came from the fathers long ago. You circumcise a baby boy on the Sabbath day.

bwe@John:7:24 @ Do not judge by what you see, but judge in the right way.

bwe@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man comes from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.

bwe@John:7:30 @ Then the people wanted to catch him. But no one put a hand on him. It was not yet the time for that.

bwe@John:7:34 @ You will look for me, but you will not find me. You will not be able to go to the place where I will be.

bwe@John:7:41 @ Other people said, This is the Christ. But some said, The Christ will not come from Galilee. Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

bwe@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to catch Jesus, but no one put hands on him.

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

bwe@John:8:14 @ Jesus said to them, Even if I do talk about myself, what I say is true. I know where I come from and I know where I am going. But you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.

bwe@John:8:16 @ But even if I do judge, I judge right. I am not alone. My Father who sent me is with me.

bwe@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say to you and to judge you in many things. But he who sent me is true. I tell the world what he has told me.

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

bwe@John:8:35 @ A slave does not belong to the family for ever. But a son belongs for ever.

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

bwe@John:8:40 @ But you want to kill me because I told you the truth which I learned from God. Abraham did not do that.

bwe@John:8:49 @ Jesus said, I have no bad spirit in me. I respect my Father but you do not respect me.

bwe@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, If I make myself great, then I am not great. But my Father makes me great. You say he is your God.

bwe@John:8:55 @ But you do not know God. I know him. If I say, "I do not know him," I am a liar, just as you people are. But I know him and I obey his word.

bwe@John:8:59 @ Then they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus got out of their way. He left the temple and they did not know where he went.

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

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

bwe@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God. He does not obey the Sabbath day law. The others said, But how can a bad man do such a big work? So the Pharisees did not agree together in what they thought about Jesus.

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

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

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

bwe@John:9:28 @ This made them angry. They said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

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

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

bwe@John:10:2 @ But the man who comes in through the door, he is the one who takes care of the sheep.

bwe@John:10:6 @ Jesus told this story to the Pharisees, but they did not understand what he was trying to tell them.

bwe@John:10:8 @ All those who came before me are bad people and steal things. They came to steal the sheep. But the sheep did not listen to them.

bwe@John:10:17 @ My Father loves me because I am willing to die. But when I die, I will live again.

bwe@John:10:21 @ But others said, A person who has a bad spirit in him does not say the things this man says. Can a bad spirit make blind people see?

bwe@John:10:33 @ Then the Jewish leaders answered him, We do not kill you for doing any good thing. But you do not respect God. You are only a man, and yet you say you are God.

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

bwe@John:10:39 @ Because of what he said, they tried to catch Jesus again. But he got away from them.

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

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

bwe@John:11:10 @ But if a person walks at night, he will fall because there is no light for him to see.

bwe@John:11:11 @ After he said this, he said also, Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I am going to wake him up.

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

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

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

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

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

bwe@John:11:46 @ But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

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

bwe@John:11:52 @ Jesus would die, not only for those people, but he would gather together all of Gods people who are out in different places.

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

bwe@John:12:6 @ Judas did not say this because he cared for poor people. But he used to steal. He carried the disciples money bag and he used to take money out of the bag for himself.

bwe@John:12:8 @ You will have poor people with you always. But you will not always have me with you.

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

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

bwe@John:12:24 @ I tell you the truth. If a seed of grain is not put in the ground to die, it will be only a seed. But if it dies, it will bear many seeds.

bwe@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered them, This voice did not come for my sake, but it came for your sake.

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

bwe@John:12:44 @ Jesus called out, Anyone who believes in me does not believe just in me, but in the one who sent me.

bwe@John:12:49 @ I have not said this from my own mind, but my Father who sent me told me what to say. He told me what to tell you.

bwe@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand it later.

bwe@John:13:10 @ Jesus said, A person who has bathed himself needs to wash his feet only. He is all clean. You are clean, but not all of you.

bwe@John:13:18 @ I am not talking about all of you but I know the people I have chosen. So Gods word comes true. The holy writings say, "He who is eating my bread has turned against me."

bwe@John:14:7 @ If you knew me, you would have known my Father also. But from now on you do know him because you have seen him.

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

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

bwe@John:14:19 @ In a short time the world will not see me again, but you will see me again. Because I live, you will live also.

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

bwe@John:15:4 @ But you must be in me and I will be in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must be joined to the tree. And you cannot do any good thing if you are not joined to me.

bwe@John:15:5 @ I am the fruit tree and you are the branches. I will be in the person who is in me. That person will have a fruitful life. But you can do nothing without me.

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

bwe@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you. I gave you a big work to do. That work is to go out and do good things and to make the good things that you do remain strong. If you do that, my Father will do anything you ask in my name.

bwe@John:15:19 @ If you belonged to this world, the world would love you. But you do not belong to the world. I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

bwe@John:15:22 @ I came and spoke to them. If I had not done that, then what they did would not have been a wrong thing. But now they have no excuse for doing it.

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

bwe@John:16:5 @ But now I am going back to him who sent me here. Yet not one of you is asking me, "Where are you going?"

bwe@John:16:7 @ Anyway, I am telling you the truth. It is better for you if I go away. If I do not go away, the one who is to help you will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.

bwe@John:16:12 @ I have many other things to tell you, but you cannot understand them now.

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

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

bwe@John:16:21 @ Any woman is sad just before her baby is born. She has much pain because the time has come for the baby to be born. But as soon as the baby is born, she forgets the pain she had. She is very glad because a person has been born into the world.

bwe@John:16:22 @ So you also are very sad now. But I will see you again. Then you will be very glad. And no one can take your joy from you.

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

bwe@John:17:9 @ It is these men I am asking you for. I am not asking you for the people of the world. But I am asking for those you gave me, because they belong to you.

bwe@John:17:11 @ I am not in the world any longer. But they are in the world. And I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me. Then they will be one, just as you and I are one.

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

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

bwe@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple who knew the high priest talked to the servant at the door and brought in Peter.

bwe@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Take him and judge him by your own law. The leaders of the Jews said, But we are not allowed to kill anyone.

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

bwe@John:18:39 @ But at the Passover Feast you always want me to let one prisoner go free for you. Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?

bwe@John:18:40 @ Then they all shouted again, Not this man, but Barabbas! Barabbas was a man who had stolen things.

bwe@John:19:9 @ He went into the court house again and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus did not answer him.

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

bwe@John:19:15 @ But they shouted, Take him away! Take him away! Nail him to a cross! Pilate said to them, Shall I nail your King to a cross? The chief priests answered, Caesar is the only king we have.

bwe@John:19:21 @ Then the chief priests among the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, "The King of the Jews," but write, "This man said he is King of the Jews."

bwe@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes. They divided them into four parts and gave each soldier one part. Then they took his coat. It was not sewn together but the cloth was all made in one piece from the top to the bottom.

bwe@John:19:24 @ So the soldiers said to one another, We will not tear this. But let us gamble for it. What the holy writings say came true. They say, They divided my clothes among them. They gambled for my coat. That is what the soldiers did.

bwe@John:19:38 @ A man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, was a disciple of Jesus. But he did not say so because he was afraid of the leaders of the Jews. After all this had happened, he went to Pilate. He asked him to let him take Jesus body away. Pilate let him. So he came and took his body.

bwe@John:20:5 @ He bent down and looked in. He saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go inside.

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

bwe@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood outside the grave crying. As she cried, she bent down and looked into the grave.

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

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

bwe@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger here. Look at my hands. Feel my side with your hand. Do not doubt anymore, but believe.

bwe@John:20:31 @ But these things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And when you believe in his name, then he will give you power to live.

bwe@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went to the boat. He pulled the net to land. It was full of big fish. There were a hundred and fifty three fish. But even with so many fish the net did not break.

bwe@John:21:18 @ I tell you the truth. When you were young, you put on your own belt. You went where you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will put out your hands. Others will put your belt on for you. They will take you where you do not want to go.

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

bwe@Acts:1:5 @ John baptised with water. But you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit when a few days have passed.

bwe@Acts:1:8 @ But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power. You will speak of me in Jerusalem and all around in Judea and Samaria and everywhere in the world.

bwe@Acts:2:23 @ This same Jesus was given up. You let bad men take him. You let them nail him to a cross and kill him. This is just the way God had planned it. He knew how it would happen. But God raised him back to life. He set him free from the pain of death. Death could not hold him.

bwe@Acts:3:6 @ Then Peter said, I have no money. But I will give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!

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

bwe@Acts:3:21 @ But he must wait in heaven until the time when all things will be made new again as they were at first. By his holy prophets God spoke of all this from the beginning.

bwe@Acts:4:4 @ But many of the people who heard them speak the word of God, believed what they said. The number of men who believed was about five thousand.

bwe@Acts:4:10 @ Well, let it be known by all the people of Israel. This man standing before you is healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has done this. You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death.

bwe@Acts:4:11 @ Jesus Christ is the stone which you, the builders, would not use. But he is now the chief corner stone.

bwe@Acts:4:17 @ But we do not want any more people to hear about it. So let us say to these men, "Take care! Never speak to anyone in this name again."

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

bwe@Acts:4:28 @ But they only did what you had already planned should be done.

bwe@Acts:4:32 @ All the believers were one in heart and mind. Not one of them said, This is mine. But everything they had was for the use of all.

bwe@Acts:5:1 @ A man named Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, sold a field. He brought some of the money to the apostles. But he kept the rest of it. His wife knew what he had done.

bwe@Acts:5:4 @ As long as you had the field, it belonged to you. When you had the money, you could do what you wanted to do with it. Why then did you plan to do a thing like this? You have not lied to men, but to God.

bwe@Acts:5:13 @ Other people feared to join them, but they spoke well of them.

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

bwe@Acts:5:23 @ They said, The prison was locked very well. And the police were guarding the doors. But when we opened the doors, no one was inside.

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

bwe@Acts:5:38 @ So now, I say, do nothing to these men. Leave them alone. If this is the teaching or work of men, it will come to an end. But if it is of God, you cannot stop these men. You might even be fighting against God!

bwe@Acts:6:4 @ But we ourselves will keep on talking with God and telling his word.

bwe@Acts:6:9 @ But some of the Jews argued with Stephen, and said he was wrong. (They belonged to the meeting place of the Free Men. They were Jews who came from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia and Asia Minor.) They did not agree with Stephen.

bwe@Acts:6:10 @ But they could not say anything against his wise words and the Spirit by whom he spoke.

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

bwe@Acts:7:9 @ Because they were jealous, they sold Joseph to be a slave in the country of Egypt. But God was with Joseph.

bwe@Acts:7:19 @ This king was not kind to our fathers but he gave them a hard time. They had to put their babies outside to die.

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

bwe@Acts:7:27 @ But the one who was fighting his neighbour pushed Moses away. He said, "Who made you our ruler and our judge?

bwe@Acts:7:47 @ But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

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

bwe@Acts:7:53 @ You received the law given by angels, but you have not kept it.

bwe@Acts:7:55 @ But Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit. He looked at the sky and saw the greatness of God. He saw Jesus standing at Gods right side.

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

bwe@Acts:8:12 @ But Philip came and told them about Gods kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ. The people believed him. Then both men and women were baptised.

bwe@Acts:8:39 @ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The man did not see him again, but he went on his way and was very happy.

bwe@Acts:9:6 @ But get up and go to the city. There you will be told what you must do.

bwe@Acts:9:7 @ The men who had come with Saul stood there. They did not say a word. They heard a voice but did not see anyone.

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

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

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

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

bwe@Acts:9:29 @ He talked to the Jews who spoke the Greek language. But they did not agree with Saul, and so they made plans to kill him.

bwe@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, No, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is not holy or not clean.

bwe@Acts:10:26 @ But Peter raised him up and said, Please stand up. I too am only a man.

bwe@Acts:10:28 @ He began to talk with them. He said, You yourselves know it is against our law for a Jew to visit and be friends with someone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

bwe@Acts:10:35 @ But he takes anyone who obeys him. He takes anyone who does what is right. It does not matter to what nation they belong.

bwe@Acts:10:41 @ Not all the people saw him. But God had chosen us to see and to talk about him. We saw him. We ate and drank with him after he rose from death.

bwe@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, "No, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is not holy or clean."

bwe@Acts:11:16 @ Then I remembered that the Lord said, "John baptised with water, but you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit."

bwe@Acts:12:4 @ After Herod had caught Peter, he put him in prison. He told four groups of soldiers to guard him. There were four soldiers in each group. He planned to bring him out for trial before the people. But he would do it after the Passover Feast.

bwe@Acts:12:14 @ When she knew it was Peters voice, she was very glad. She did not open the door. But she ran in and told the people that Peter was at the door.

bwe@Acts:12:15 @ They said, You are crazy. But she kept on saying that Peter was really there. Then they said, It must be his angel.

bwe@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. But they got Blastus to speak to the king for them. Blastus was one of the men who worked in the kings house. They came to Herod together. They wanted to make peace with him because their country got its food from his country.

bwe@Acts:13:10 @ You son of the devil! he said. You do nothing but tell lies and make much trouble. You hate everything that is right. The Lords way is right. Will you not stop spoiling his way?

bwe@Acts:13:25 @ When John was finishing his work, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But wait, someone else will come after me. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings."

bwe@Acts:13:27 @ The people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not know who this Jesus really was. They did not understand the words of the prophets of God long ago which were read every Sabbath day. But even so, they did what the prophets had said they would do. They judged him.

bwe@Acts:13:30 @ But God raised him from death.

bwe@Acts:13:37 @ But God has raised one from death. His body did not spoil.

bwe@Acts:13:39 @ The law of Moses could not make you free. But this man makes you free. You will not be judged if you believe in him.

bwe@Acts:13:43 @ The meeting was finished. There were many Jews, also those who were not Jews but worshipped God. They followed Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabus kept talking to the people and told them to keep on living in the way that will bring Gods blessing.

bwe@Acts:13:46 @ But Paul and Barnabas did not fear the Jewish leaders. They said, We had to tell Gods word to you first but you will not listen to it. By that you are saying you Jews are not good enough to live for ever. So we will go to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:13:50 @ But the leaders of the Jews talked to the leading women who worshipped God and to the chief men of Antioch. They made plenty of trouble for Paul and Barnabas. They made them leave that part of the country.

bwe@Acts:14:2 @ But the Jews who did not believe said wrong things about them. They spoiled the minds of those who were not Jews so that they hated the Christians.

bwe@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and ran in among the people shouting.

bwe@Acts:14:17 @ But even then he had some ways to make himself known. He did things that were good. He gave us rain from the sky and good harvests. And he gives you all the food you need and makes you very happy. Surely these things speak for him.

bwe@Acts:14:20 @ But as the disciples gathered around him, he got up and they went back into the city. The next day Paul and Barnabas left and went to Derbe.

bwe@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee group stood up and said, They must be circumcised <FI>like the Jews<Fi>. We must tell them to keep all the laws of Moses.

bwe@Acts:15:17 @ Then all the other people will find God, even those who are not Jews but who belong to me. So says the Lord, who is doing all these things."

bwe@Acts:15:19 @ So now, this is what I think. We should not trouble those who are not Jews but who have turned to God.

bwe@Acts:15:28 @ The Holy Spirit and we thought it was not good to give you a hard thing to do. But here is what you must not do.

bwe@Acts:15:34 @ But Silas thought it was good to stay at Antioch.

bwe@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not think that they should take him. John Mark had left them when they were at Pamphylia. He had not gone along with them to do the work.

bwe@Acts:16:7 @ After they came to the district of Mysia, they wanted to go to the country of Bithynia but the Holy Spirit did not allow them.

bwe@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said, We are Romans. And they have beaten us outside where people can see. They have put us in prison without proving we have done wrong. Now, are they going to take us out of prison secretly? No, they themselves must come and take us out.

bwe@Acts:17:5 @ But some Jews did not believe, and they were jealous. So they called some of the bad men together and made a crowd. They started to fight and to make plenty of trouble and noise in the city. At Jasons house they went in by force to find Paul and Silas. They wanted to bring them outside to the people.

bwe@Acts:17:6 @ But they did not find them. So they took Jason and some of the Christian brothers to the rulers of the city. They shouted, These men have turned the world upside down. Now they have come here also.

bwe@Acts:17:14 @ The Christian brothers sent Paul to the seaside right away. But Silas and Timothy stayed on at Berea.

bwe@Acts:17:23 @ As I walked about, I looked at the things you worship. I saw one place where you make sacrifices. You have written on it, "To the God we do not know." You are worshipping that God, but you do not know him. I will tell you about him.

bwe@Acts:17:27 @ He did this so they would look for him. He wanted them to reach out and find him. But he is not far from each one of us.

bwe@Acts:17:30 @ In times past God did not look at what people did. They did not know any better then. But now he is calling all people to stop doing those things.

bwe@Acts:17:34 @ But some men followed him and believed. Among those who believed was Dionysius. He was a judge in the Areopagus court. And a woman named Damaris believed. There were others also.

bwe@Acts:18:6 @ But the people talked back to Paul. And they said wrong things about him. Paul shook his clothes and said to them, If you are lost, it is your own fault, not mine! From now on I will go to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:18:15 @ But this is a matter about words and names and about your own law. So you must go and take care of it yourselves! I will not judge such things.

bwe@Acts:18:17 @ They caught a man. His name was Sosthenes. He was the head ruler of the meeting house. They beat him in front of the judge, but Gallio did nothing about it.

bwe@Acts:18:20 @ The Jews begged him to stay longer but he would not stay.

bwe@Acts:18:25 @ This man had been taught the way of the Lord. He was strong in spirit as he talked to people. What he taught them about the Lord was true. But he knew only about the baptism of John.

bwe@Acts:19:15 @ But the bad spirit answered, I know Jesus and I know Paul. But who are you?

bwe@Acts:19:22 @ He sent Timothy and Erastus, two of his helpers, into Macedonia. But he himself stayed in Asia Minor for a while.

bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.

bwe@Acts:19:27 @ This will spoil our work. Not only that, but people will not respect the house of the great idol goddess Diana any more. All the people in Asia and in the whole world worship her now. But they will despise her!

bwe@Acts:19:30 @ Paul wanted to go in and talk to the people, but the disciples would not let him.

bwe@Acts:19:34 @ But when they saw that he was a Jew, they all shouted together for two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus!

bwe@Acts:20:23 @ But in every city the Holy Spirit tells me I will be put in prison. I will have much trouble.

bwe@Acts:20:24 @ But none of these things trouble me. I do not try to save my life. All I want is to finish what I must do with joy. The work which the Lord Jesus gave me is to tell the good news that God is kind.

bwe@Acts:22:2 @ When the people heard him speak in the Jews language, they were even more quiet. Then Paul said, I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. But I was raised here in this city. Gamaliel was my teacher. He taught me very well in the law of our fathers. I was trying hard to obey God, just as you all are today.

bwe@Acts:22:9 @ The men who were with me saw the light. They were afraid. But they did not hear the one who spoke to me.

bwe@Acts:22:21 @ But the Lord said to me, "Go! I will send you far away to the people who are not Jews."

bwe@Acts:23:8 @ The Sadducees say the dead will not be raised again. They say there is no angel or spirit. But the Pharisees believe in all these three things.

bwe@Acts:23:21 @ But you must not do this. More than forty Jews are waiting for him. They have made a promise to themselves. They will not eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now and waiting for your agreement.

bwe@Acts:23:27 @ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.

bwe@Acts:23:29 @ I found out that their complaints were to do with their law. But he had not done anything wrong enough to die or to be put into prison.

bwe@Acts:24:4 @ I do not want to take much of your time. But please be kind and listen to a few words from us.

bwe@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to make the temple unclean. But we caught him and were going to judge him by our law.

bwe@Acts:24:7 @ But Lysias the commanding officer came. He took Paul away from us by force.

bwe@Acts:24:14 @ But I myself tell you this. I worship the God of my fathers in the Christian way. They say this is not the right way. I believe everything that the law teaches. I believe everything that the prophets have written.

bwe@Acts:24:23 @ He said to the officer, Keep Paul in prison but let him have some freedom. Let his friends come to visit him and to do things for him.

bwe@Acts:25:7 @ When Paul came in, the Jewish leaders who had come from Jerusalem stood around Paul. They talked much against him. But they could not prove that the things they said were true.

bwe@Acts:25:11 @ If I have done wrong things, or any wrong thing for which I should die, then I do not ask to live. But if the things these people say are not true, then no one has power to give me up to the leaders of the Jews. I ask to go to Caesar.

bwe@Acts:25:19 @ But instead, they had a quarrel with him about the things they believe in. The quarrel is about a man named Jesus who died. Paul said he is alive.

bwe@Acts:25:21 @ But Paul asked to wait and let Caesar judge his case. So I had him put in prison to be kept there until I can send him to Caesar.

bwe@Acts:25:25 @ But I found out that he had not done anything wrong for which he should die. He himself asked to go to Caesar, so I decided to send him.

bwe@Acts:25:26 @ But I have no real complaint about him to write to my ruler. So I have brought this man before you all, and most of all before you, king Agrippa. When you have heard him, I hope I will have something to write about him.

bwe@Acts:26:16 @ But get up. Stand on your feet. Here is why I have shown myself to you. I have chosen you to work for me. I have chosen you to tell people what you saw when you saw me today. You are to tell them also about the other times when I will show myself to you.

bwe@Acts:26:25 @ Paul said, No, great ruler Festus, I am not crazy. But what I say is true. It makes good sense.

bwe@Acts:27:8 @ We had trouble going along near the coast, but at last we came to a place called Fair Havens. This was near the town of Lasea.

bwe@Acts:27:11 @ The officer did not listen to what Paul said. But he listened to the captain and the owner of the boat.

bwe@Acts:27:14 @ But soon a very strong north-east wind blew from Crete.

bwe@Acts:27:21 @ The men of the boat had not eaten anything for a long time. Then Paul stood up and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me and not left Crete. But you did leave. So you have had much trouble and have lost all these things.

bwe@Acts:27:31 @ But Paul said to the officer and soldiers, If these men do not stay on the boat, you cannot be saved.

bwe@Acts:27:39 @ In the morning they saw land. But they did not know what country it was. They saw a sandy place. So they talked it over and thought they would try to get the boat on it.

bwe@Acts:27:41 @ But they came to a place where there was sand under the water. The boat stuck in it. The front end stuck so badly that they could not make it go. The back end began to break up because the water beat it so hard.

bwe@Acts:27:43 @ But the officer wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers. He told the people, Those of you who can swim, jump into the water first and get to the land.

bwe@Acts:28:4 @ The people of Malta saw the snake hanging on his hand. Oh, they said to each other. This man has no doubt killed someone. He did not die in the water, but it is not right for him to live.

bwe@Acts:28:19 @ But the Jewish leaders did not agree to let me go free, so I had to ask to be brought before Caesar. I did not have anything to say against my people.

bwe@Acts:28:22 @ But we want to hear from you what you think. We know that people everywhere are talking against this Christian group.

bwe@Acts:28:24 @ Some of the people were ready to believe what he said, but others did not believe.

bwe@Acts:28:25 @ They did not agree among themselves. So they started to go away. But before they left, Paul said one more thing. What the Holy Spirit said was right. He spoke to your fathers long ago through Isaiah, the prophet of God.

bwe@Acts:28:26 @ He said, "Go to these people and say, You will hear but never understand. You will look but never see.

bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.

bwe@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.

bwe@Romans:1:22 @ They said they were wise people, but they were foolish people.

bwe@Romans:1:23 @ They did not worship God who cannot die. But they worshipped things made to look like a man who does die. They worshipped things made to look like birds and animals and snakes.

bwe@Romans:1:32 @ They know that God says that people who do such things should die. Even so, they not only do them, but they praise other people who do them.

bwe@Romans:2:5 @ But your hearts are hard. You will not stop. That is why God will be angry with you. He will be angry on the day when people will see that he judges in the right way.

bwe@Romans:2:8 @ But God will be very angry with the people who think of themselves first before others. They do not obey what is right. They do wrong things.

bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.

bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.

bwe@Romans:2:14 @ Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law.

bwe@Romans:2:17 @ But you call yourselves Jews. You believe the law. You are proud of your God.

bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.

bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.

bwe@Romans:2:29 @ If a person is a Jew inside, he is really a Jew. It is God who praises him, not people. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is in the spirit, not in the body. Such people are not praised; but God praises them.

bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?

bwe@Romans:3:24 @ But God is kind and makes them right with himself. It is a gift. He does it because Christ Jesus paid the price to set them free.

bwe@Romans:4:2 @ If Abraham was put right with God, because of what he did, he has something to be proud of. But he has nothing to be proud of when he stands before God.

bwe@Romans:4:5 @ But no person can work to put himself right with God. It is God alone who makes a bad person right. The one who believes in him-even a bad person is put right.

bwe@Romans:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.

bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:20 @ He did not stop believing Gods promise. He believed God very much. He did not praise God for his own faith, but for Gods promise.

bwe@Romans:5:3 @ And not only is that true, but we are very happy in our troubles, because we know that trouble makes us stronger.

bwe@Romans:5:7 @ Almost no one would die to save even a good man. But perhaps someone would die to save a very good man.

bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.

bwe@Romans:5:13 @ People in the world were not right with God before he gave the law. But wrong things are not punished when there is no law.

bwe@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.

bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.

bwe@Romans:5:20 @ When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.

bwe@Romans:6:10 @ He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.

bwe@Romans:6:13 @ Do not use your bodies to do wrong things. But give yourselves to God like men who have been raised from death to life. Give your bodies to God and use them to do good things.

bwe@Romans:6:14 @ Wrong ways will not be your masters. The law does not rule over you now, but Gods loving kindness rules over you.

bwe@Romans:6:16 @ If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.

bwe@Romans:6:17 @ You were at one time slaves to wrong things. But I praise God that you obeyed what your teachers taught you. And you obeyed because you wanted to obey.

bwe@Romans:6:22 @ But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.

bwe@Romans:6:23 @ The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.

bwe@Romans:7:2 @ A married woman belongs to her husband by law as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law that made her belong to her husband.

bwe@Romans:7:3 @ So if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she commits adultery. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then if she belongs to another man, she does not commit adultery.

bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.

bwe@Romans:7:9 @ Once I had no law, and I lived. But when the law came, that which wanted to do wrong things came to life, and I died.

bwe@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law came from the Holy Spirit. But I am a weak man. I have been sold like a slave to do wrong things.

bwe@Romans:7:15 @ I do not know why I do the things I do. I do not do what I want to do. But I do the things I hate.

bwe@Romans:7:17 @ So now it is no longer I who do it, but my wrong ways in me.

bwe@Romans:7:18 @ I know that no good thing lives in me. I mean, no good thing lives in my body. I want to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

bwe@Romans:7:19 @ I do not do the good thing I want to do, but I do the wrong thing that I do not want to do.

bwe@Romans:7:20 @ If I do the thing I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the wrong thing in me that does it.

bwe@Romans:7:23 @ But I see that in my body there is another law fighting against the law in my mind. And that makes me like a prisoner to the law of wrong things in my body.

bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.

bwe@Romans:8:6 @ If you keep your mind on the things your bodies want to do, you will die. But if you keep your mind on the things the Spirit wants, you will live and have peace.

bwe@Romans:8:9 @ Does Gods Spirit live in you? If he does, then you are not living the way the body wants, but you are living the way the Spirit wants. If anyone does not have Christs Spirit, he does not belong to Christ.

bwe@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of the wrong things you have done. But your spirits live because you have been made right with God.

bwe@Romans:8:13 @ If you live the way your bodies wants to live, you will die. But if, by the help of the Spirit, you stop doing the wrong things your bodies want to do, you will live.

bwe@Romans:8:15 @ The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.

bwe@Romans:8:20 @ The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.

bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.

bwe@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for something we do not see, we keep on waiting for it.

bwe@Romans:8:26 @ Also the Spirit helps us because we are weak. We do not know how we should talk to God. But the Spirit himself talks to God for us, while we cry and cannot say any words.

bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?

bwe@Romans:8:37 @ But Christ loved us. He has helped us to win great victory in all these things.

bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.

bwe@Romans:9:12 @ The holy writings also say, I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.

bwe@Romans:9:19 @ But you are only a man. Will you tell God what to do? Can the pot say to the man who made it, Why did you make me like this?

bwe@Romans:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:9:24 @ In the book written long ago by the prophet Hosea, God says They were not my people. But I will call them "my people". I did not love her, but I will call her "the one I love."

bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.

bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.

bwe@Romans:10:2 @ I can say this about them, they want very much to obey God. But they do not know the right way.

bwe@Romans:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)

bwe@Romans:10:8 @ But what do the holy writings say? They say, The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That means, the word to believe which we tell people.

bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?

bwe@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the good news. It is as Isaiah said it would be, Lord, who has believed what we have told them?

bwe@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have. The holy writings say, Their voice has gone out all over the earth. And their words have gone out all over the world.

bwe@Romans:10:19 @ But I ask, did not the Jews know? First the book of Moses says, I will make you jealous through people who are not a nation like the Jews. I will make you angry through people who do not even know or understand these things.

bwe@Romans:10:20 @ But the book of Isaiah says even stronger words. The people who did not look for me have found me. I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.

bwe@Romans:10:21 @ But he says about the Jews, All day I held out my hands to a people who did not obey me, who said wrong things against me.

bwe@Romans:11:4 @ But what did God answer him? He said, I have seven thousand men who have not kneeled down to the idol god Baal.

bwe@Romans:11:6 @ But if it was a gift because he was kind to them, then it was no longer because of the things they did. Or else a gift would no longer be a gift.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.

bwe@Romans:11:18 @ But do not think that you are better than the trees own branches. If you do, remember it is not you that holds the root in place. But it is the root that holds you.

bwe@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.

bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.

bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.

bwe@Romans:11:28 @ The Jews make themselves enemies of God because they do not want the good news of Jesus Christ. That helps you since the good news has then come to you. But God still loves the Jews because of the promise he made to their fathers long ago.

bwe@Romans:11:30 @ At one time you did not obey God. But now he has been kind to you because the Jews did not obey him.

bwe@Romans:11:31 @ So now, they also have not obeyed him. But he will also be kind to them because he was kind to you.

bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.

bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

bwe@Romans:12:4 @ In a body there are many parts, but all the parts do not do the same thing.

bwe@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, we are many people. But we are one body because we are all joined together in Christ. Each one of us is a part of all the others.

bwe@Romans:12:16 @ Agree with one another. Do not be proud, but be friends with anybody. Do not think you are wiser than you are.

bwe@Romans:12:17 @ When people do wrong things to you, do not do wrong things to them also. But try to do good things for all people.

bwe@Romans:12:19 @ My dear brothers, do not punish people who do wrong to you. But let Gods anger punish them. In the holy writings the Lord says, I myself will punish people. If they have done wrong things, I will do wrong things to them also.

bwe@Romans:12:20 @ But, If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. When you do that, it will be as if you put a pile of coals from the fire on his head.

bwe@Romans:12:21 @ Do not let wrong things win a victory over you. But win a victory over wrong things by the good things you do.

bwe@Romans:13:3 @ The rulers do not bring fear to a good man, but they bring fear to a bad man. If you do not want to be afraid of a ruler, do what is good and he will praise you.

bwe@Romans:13:4 @ Such a person is Gods servant and will do what is good for you. But if you do what is wrong, you should fear him. He has great power and he will use it. He is Gods servant and will punish those who do wrong.

bwe@Romans:13:5 @ So you must obey, not only because of the punishment, but because you know it is right.

bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.

bwe@Romans:13:14 @ But you must take the Lord Jesus Christ into your hearts. And do not plan to do the wrong things your bodies want to do.

bwe@Romans:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.

bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.

bwe@Romans:14:14 @ As a Christian, I know and believe that nothing in itself is not right to eat. But it is not right for anyone to eat who thinks it is not right to eat.

bwe@Romans:14:17 @ The kingdom of God is not about what a person eats and drinks. But it is about living in a way which is right with God. It is peace. It is joy because a person has the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Romans:14:19 @ But we must do the things that make peace and that help each other to do better.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.

bwe@Romans:14:23 @ But a man who is not sure that he should eat something, does wrong if he eats it. That is because he does not believe the thing he is doing is right to do. And it is wrong to do what you do not believe is right.

bwe@Romans:15:2 @ But each of us must please his neighbour. He must do what is good for him and what will help him do better.

bwe@Romans:15:3 @ Christ did not please himself. But the holy writings say, I took upon myself the wrong things that people said against you.

bwe@Romans:15:21 @ The holy writings say, They were not told about him, but they will see him. And the people who have not heard of him will understand.

bwe@Romans:15:23 @ But now, I am no longer needed to work in these places. And I have wanted for many years to come to you.

bwe@Romans:15:24 @ When I go to the country of Spain, I hope to see you on my way there. I hope you will help me on my way to that place. But first I will be happy to be with you for a little while.

bwe@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am going to Jerusalem with a gift to help Gods people.

bwe@Romans:16:25 @ Praise God! He is able to make you stand firm. That is the good news that I tell. That is what the message about Jesus Christ says. The message was kept secret for a long time in the past. But it has now been made known.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you but Crispus and Gaius.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize people, but he sent me to tell the good news. I must not tell it with the clever words of this world. That would not show what the death of Christ on a cross truly means.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:18 @ When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:21 @ God is wise. But the people of the world were not wise enough to know God. So he chose to save people who believe the good news that we tell them, even though the good news may seem to be foolish.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we tell people about Christ who died on a cross. The leaders of the Jews do not like this, and those who are not Jews laugh at it.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose things that look foolish to the people of the world. He has used those foolish things to put the wise people to shame. God chose the weak things to put to shame the strong people.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:31 @ Just as the holy writings say, No one should be proud of anything but of the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My words and my message were not in wise words to win you. But the power of the Spirit of God proved my words to be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:12 @ We have not received the spirit of the world. But we have received the Spirit of God. In this way we may understand the blessings which God has freely given to us.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:13 @ We do not tell you these things in wise words which men taught us. But the Holy Spirit taught us. We teach things about the Spirit which we know about through the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:15 @ He who has the Spirit of God tests all things. But others cannot test him.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted the seed. Apollos put water on the seed. But God made the seed grow.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:13 @ But the day will come when everyones work can be seen. Their work will be tested by fire and the fire will show what kind of work each one did.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:15 @ But if a mans work is burned up, he will lose everything. He himself will be saved, like a man pulled out of the fire.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I do not know of anything wrong in me, but that does not say I am right. The Lord is my judge.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christs sake! But you think Christ has made you wise. We are weak, but you are strong! You have glory, we have shame!

bwe@1Corinthians:4:12 @ We work hard with our hands. People curse us, but we bless them. They trouble us much, but we must take it.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:13 @ They talk behind our backs, but we still try to win them. People treat us as a dirt pile, the rubbish of the world. And they still do these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to make you ashamed. But you are my dear children and I want to teach you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come soon if it is the Lords will. Then I will find, not the talk of those proud people, but their power.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:20 @ The place where God rules is not a matter of talk, but of power.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:3 @ My body is not with you, but my spirit is. Just as if I were right there, I have decided what to do about the man who did such a thing as this.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Let us then remember the feast of Passover and have our bread. But let us not have our feast with old yeast in the bread. To do bad and wrong things is like that old yeast. But let us have it with new bread that has no old yeast in it. To be honest and true is like the new bread.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:10 @ But I wrote to you not to be friends with anyone who says he is a Christian and uses wrong sex, or always wants more, or has idols, or curses, or drinks too much strong drink, or steals. I told you not even to sit down to eat with such a person.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But now one Christian brother takes another Christian brother to be judged by people who are not Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Some of you were like that. But now you have been washed and made holy. The Spirit of our God has made you right by the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:12 @ I am free to do anything I want, but some things are not good for me to do. I am free to do anything, but I will not become a slave of anything.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food is for the body, and the body is for food. But God will bring both to an end. The body is not made to be used for wrong sex behaviour, but for the Lord. And the Lord is for the body.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But the one who joins himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Run away from every kind of wrong sex! Every other wrong thing which a person does is done outside of his body. But the person who uses sex the wrong way does a wrong thing to his own body.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:20 @ But you were bought and paid for. So then, bring glory to God with your bodies.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But wrong sex is always a danger to us. So it is better for each man to have his own wife and each woman to have her own husband.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have full right over her own body. But her husband has a right to it. In the same way, the husband does not have full right over his own body. But his wife has a right to it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were like I am. But God has made everyone different. One man can live one way and another man can live another way.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot keep themselves under control, then they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with desire for sex.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does leave him, she must not marry again, or she must come back to her husband again. And the husband may not send away his wife.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, Christian brothers, everyone should go on living as he was when God called him. But now he lives with God.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)

bwe@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But, if you marry, it is not wrong. And if a woman marries, it is not wrong. People who marry will have trouble in this life. And I want to keep you out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But the man who is married thinks about the things of this world. He tries to please his wife.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:34 @ In the same way, there is a difference between the woman who is married and the one who is not. The woman who is not married thinks about the things of the Lord. She wants her body and her spirit to be holy. But the married woman thinks about the things of this life. She tries to please her husband.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But the man who has made up his mind not to marry his woman will do well. That is, if he does not have to marry her, and is able to control himself, and if he is sure about it in his own mind.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So the man who marries his woman will do what is good. But the man who does not marry her will do better.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife may not leave her husband as long as he is living. But if he dies, she is free to marry any man she wants. Only this, he must be a Christian.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But I think that she is happier if she stays as she is and does not marry again. (I think too that I am saying what the Spirit of God wants me to say in this matter.)

bwe@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if anyone loves God, then God knows him.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Perhaps you feel it is all right for you to do it. But be careful! It might make the weak Christian do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If it is right for other teachers to receive something from you, then we have more of a right to receive it. But we did not use our right. Instead, we do anything we can so that we will not stop the good news of Christ from going out.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:17 @ If I do it because I want to do it, I get my pay. But if I do not want to do it, it is still my duty to do it.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ You know when people are running a race, they all run. But only one man will win. The way you should run is to run to win.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who wants to show his strength must control himself in every way. They do it for a prize that will spoil. But what we do, we do for a reward that will never, never spoil.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I control my own body really well. I make my body obey me. After telling others the good news, I myself do not want to be left out.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But God was not pleased with most of them. They died in the wilderness.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No testing has come to you that other people do not have. But God will not fail you. He will not allow the testing to be too hard for you. No. When the testing comes, God will make a way out for you, so that you can go through the testing.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:17 @ The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:23 @ We are free to do anything we want to do. Yes, but some things do not make people better. It is better if we do not do such things.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:24 @ A person must not think only of himself. But he should think of the other person as well.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, This food has been given to an idol, then do not eat it. Do not eat it because of the one who told you and because it might seem wrong. I mean it might seem wrong, not to you, but to him.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:33 @ I, also, try to please everyone in all I do. I do not think of what will be good for me, but I think of what will be good for many people. I want them to be saved.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But any woman who talks to God or speaks words from God with her head not covered brings shame on her head. She is just the same as a woman who has cut off all her hair.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman does not cover her head, she might as well cut off her hair. But if it is a shame for a woman to cut off her hair, or to shave her head, then she should have her head covered.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man was not made from woman, but woman was made from man.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:9 @ And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:11 @ But the Lord did not make woman without man, and he did not make man without woman.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But long hair is something for the woman to be proud of. Her hair has been given to her for a covering.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we took time to look into our hearts first, then we would not be punished.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:4 @ There are different gifts, but there is only one Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:5 @ There are different kinds of work, but there is only one Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:6 @ There are different ways of working, but there is only one God. He works in all people and does it all.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:14 @ I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:15 @ Perhaps the foot says, I am not the hand, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:16 @ Perhaps the ear says, I am not the eye, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:20 @ The way it is now, there are many parts, but it is one body.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And we look after some parts of our body more than others because they need it. The parts of our body that are not so fine in one way are made more fine in other ways. But the parts which are fine already do not need to be made fine. God made the body and has given more care to the parts that need it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:29 @ You should seek after the best gifts. But I will show you a way that is much better than any of them!

bwe@1Corinthians:13:1 @ If I talk with the tongues of men and even of angels, but if I do not love people, then I am only like the sound of a big horn or a loud bell.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:6 @ Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when everything becomes perfect, that part will come to an end.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child. I understood like a child. I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I stopped doing things like a child.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:12 @ Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear. We cannot see and understand things plainly. But when things become perfect, then we shall fully know and understand everything, just as God knows.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Love is the thing you should want more than anything else. But you should also want other things the Spirit gives. You should want very much to be able to speak words from God.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:2 @ The person who talks in tongues of a different language does not talk to people, but to God. People do not understand what he says. But he is saying secret things by the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But the person who is a prophet speaks words from God to people plainly. He helps them to believe and to be strong, and he comforts them.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The person who talks in a different tongue helps himself. But the one who tells forth Gods word helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Such things as horns or harps have no life, but they make sounds. Now if they dont make the right noise, no one will know what the sound means.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:11 @ But if a person talks in a language and I do not know the meaning of it, I will be like a stranger to him and he will be like a stranger to me.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:14 @ If I pray to God in a tongue of a different language, then I am talking with my spirit, but I do not use my mind.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:17 @ The way you thank God is good, but it does not help an ordinary person.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in the church meeting it is better for me to say five words with my mind, so that I will teach other people also. This is better than to say ten thousand words in a tongue of a different language.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:20 @ My brothers, do not be like children in your thinking. When it comes to doing wrong things, be like small babies. But in your thinking be grown up people.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then, tongues are a sign to people who do not believe God. They are not a sign to those who believe him. But speaking words from God like a prophet is a sign to those who believe. It is not a sign to those who do not believe.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no one to tell the meaning, a person must not talk in a tongue of a different language in the church meeting. He should talk to himself and to God.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if another person is sitting by and God gives him something to say, then the first person should stop talking.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, the thing you should want is to speak words from God. But at the same time, do not stop anyone from talking in tongues.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:40 @ But everything should be done in the right way and in good order.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that, more than five hundred Christian brothers saw him at one time. Most of them are still living, but some have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But God has been kind to me. He has made me what I am today. And he did not bless me for nothing. I did more work than any of them. Yet it was not I, but the loving kindness of God was working with me.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:27 @ The holy writings say, God has put all things under Christ. But it does not mean that God is under Christ. God is the one who put all things under him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will ask, How can dead people be raised? What kind of body will they have when they come back from death?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:49 @ We were made like the man of dust but we shall look like the man from heaven.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:56 @ But I thank God that he gives us power to stop being wrong through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:9 @ A door has opened for me to do much good work here. But there are many people against me.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So no one should despise him. But send him off with joy when he comes back to me. I will look for him to come with the other brothers.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now about our brother Apollos. I have asked him many times to visit you with the others. But he does not want to come now. He will come when he has the time.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:4 @ We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:10 @ But you must help us also. You must talk to God about us. When many people ask God to help us, then many people will thank God for the way he has blessed us. ourselves. Our hearts tell us that we have lived the right way in the world, and even more so toward you. We have lived a clean and true life as God wants us to. We have not trusted in the wise things of men, but in the blessing of God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:11 @ We write you nothing but what you have been reading out to the people, and what you all know. I hope that you will really know what is right even to the end.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:22 @ We do not rule over what you believe. But we work with you to make you glad. You are strong already by believing as you do.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sad, who is going to make me glad? No one, but the one I made sad.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:4 @ When I wrote to you, I was in great trouble and my heart was very heavy. I cried with many tears. I did not want you to be sad, but I just wanted to let you know that I love you very much who made me sad. It was not only me that he made sad. It was every one of you, in a way. I say in a way because I do not want to be too strong in what I say.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:14 @ We are not like some people. They tell Gods message to make money. But we tell it with a true heart just as God told it to us. We tell it as if we stood before God. And we tell it with Christs help.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:5 @ We are not good enough to think we can do anything ourselves. But God makes us able to do it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:6 @ God has made a new start with people. He has given us a new way back to God. It is not a written law. The Spirit gives it to us. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:10 @ The law was so bright and wonderful at first but has no light now. There is something else that is so much more bright and wonderful.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were made dull. Even today, when the old law of God is read, it is as if a cloth still covers it. It is Christ who takes the cloth away.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:16 @ But when a man turns to the Lord, the cloth is taken away.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:5 @ We do not talk about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are your slaves for Jesus sake.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:7 @ This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We have much trouble, but we do not give up. We are in hard places, but help always comes.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:9 @ People trouble us, but God is always with us. We are beaten, but we are not killed.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:16 @ The load of trouble we carry now is a little heavy. But this trouble is getting something great and wonderful ready for us which will last for ever.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:17 @ We are not looking at things that can be seen, but at things that cannot be seen. The things which can be seen last only a little while. But the things which cannot be seen last for ever.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:1 @ Our body is the house in which our spirit lives here on earth. When that house is destroyed, then God will give us another house. That house is not made by mans hand. But God made it. It will last for ever in heaven.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:7 @ We do not see these things, but we believe them.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:15 @ So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:17 @ But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Christ did no wrong thing. But for our sake God put the blame for our wrong ways on Christ. So now God sees us as good, because we are in Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:9 @ Many people do not know us, and yet many people know us very well. We almost die and yet we live. People give us much trouble but they do not kill us. We are very sad and yet always glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:10 @ We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but really we have everything.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:12 @ We have not stopped loving you, but you do not love us.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:5 @ But God comforts those who are in trouble, and when Titus came, we were comforted.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:7 @ I know that what I wrote in my letter made you sad. But I am not sorry I wrote it. Perhaps I was sorry at first, but now I am glad I sent it. I see the letter made you sad for a while.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:8 @ I do not like to make you sad, but I am glad that it made you sad and made you turn from your wrong ways. You took it all as from God. So then, we did not really hurt you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:9 @ When we are sad the way God wants us to be, we turn from our wrong ways. Then we are saved and we can never be sorry about that. But the sorrow of the world brings death.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:11 @ So, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the man who did wrong. And it was not for the sake of the man who had the wrong done to him. But I wrote so that you would see for yourselves, in the sight of God, how much we care for you.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:2 @ They are being tested by much trouble. But they are always very happy. And they are very poor. Because of these two things, they give to others as if they were rich.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not saying that you must do it. But I want to prove how strong your love is. That is why I have told you how other people show their love.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:9 @ You know how much love our Lord Jesus Christ had. He was rich, but he became poor for your sakes. Because he became poor, you can become rich.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:16 @ He was glad to go when I asked him, but he is also coming to you because he himself wants to come.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:18 @ Not only that, but the churches have chosen him to travel with us as we take care of this gift. We are doing this so that the Lord will be praised. We want to help others.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:19 @ We do not want anyone to say that we have not done the right thing. So we are taking care of this big gift in the right way. 21We want to do what the Lord says is right, but also what people say is right.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, beg you to do something since you know that Christ was kind and gentle. You say I am weak when I am face to face with you, but when I am not with you, then I speak to you with hard words.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course we are living in bodies made for this world. But we are not fighting for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:4 @ We do not use the things of this world in our fighting, but we use the power of God. This power can break down the walls where the enemy hides.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:8 @ The Lord gave us power to build you up, not to break you down. Maybe I talk about it too much. But I feel I am right in talking about it.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:10 @ Some people say, Pauls letters make us listen. They are strong. But he himself is weak and what he says is not worth listening to.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I want to say something a little bit foolish. But please listen to me!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:5 @ But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Maybe I am not a good talker, but I surely know what I am talking about! Yes, we made this plain to you in every way in all things.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his workers also try to make themselves look like Gods workers who do right. They will come to an end like the work they do! think that I am foolish. But if you do, then please listen to me as if I were foolish. I also want to do a little talking about myself.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:20 @ I am ashamed, but I must say that we were too weak to be like that! Anything that others want to be proud of, I can talk about too. And yet it is really foolish to do so.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:32 @ But I sat in a basket. Then it was put out through a window in the wall and was let down. And so I got away from him.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:5 @ I will talk about such a man. But I will not talk about myself. If I do talk, it will be about the ways I am weak.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Now if I wanted to talk about myself, I would not be foolish. I would be telling the truth. But I will not say any more. This is why: I do not want anyone to think I am better than what he sees I am, or hears me teach. I want him to judge me only by what he can see in me and by what I say.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:7 @ Because the things God showed me were so wonderful, I might have become too proud of myself. But something happened and stopped that. It was like a thorn in me. It came from Satan <FI>the devil<Fi> to trouble me. It came to stop me from being too proud.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:13 @ Now, I am ready to come to you for the third time. And I will not trouble you to pay me. I do not want what belongs to you, but I want you. The children should not save up for their parents, but the parents should do it for their children.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:14 @ For my part, I am glad to spend what I have, and to spend myself for the sake of your souls. But it seems to me that the more I love you the less you love me!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:15 @ All right then, I did not trouble you for any money. But some of you think that I have been mean and played a trick on you.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:19 @ I want to be pleased with you when I come. But I am afraid I will not be. And I am afraid that you will not be pleased with me. I fear that I may find quarrelling, jealousy, anger, and that I will find you are enemies to each other, that you are spoiling each others names, that you are telling stories about each other, that you are proud and do not obey rulers.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:4 @ It is true that he was weak when he died on a cross. But now he is alive by the power of God. We are weak as he was, but we will also be alive as he is by the power God has. You will see this.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:8 @ After all, we have no power to work against what is true, but only for the truth.

bwe@Galatians:1:7 @ There is really no other good news. But some people are making you think wrong things. They want to change the good news of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:1:12 @ No man told it to me. No man taught it to me. But it was Jesus Christ who showed it to me.

bwe@Galatians:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.

bwe@Galatians:1:17 @ I did not go to Jerusalem to the men who were apostles before I was. But I went away into the country of Arabia. Then afterwards, I came back to the city of Damascus.

bwe@Galatians:2:3 @ Titus was with me. He was not a Jew, but they did not force him to be circumcised <FI>have the mark of a Jew made on his body<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:4 @ But some men got in who were not true brothers. They came in secretly to spy on us to find out things about us. They did not want us to be free the way Christ Jesus has made us free. But they wanted to make us obey the old laws again <FI>which were given to Moses by God<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not let them tell us what to do, no, not even for one minute. In that way the real good news will be yours always.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ But I saw they were not doing right. They were not obeying the true teaching of the good news. So I said to Peter in front of them all, You are a Jew. But you live the way people do who are not Jews. How then can you force those who are not Jews to live the way the Jews do?

bwe@Galatians:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.

bwe@Galatians:2:20 @ I died when Christ died on a cross. I do not live now, but Christ lives in me. Now while I still live in my body, I live by believing in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.

bwe@Galatians:2:21 @ So I do not make the love of God useless. But if a person can be made good by the law, then Christ died for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:3:16 @ God made his promises to Abraham and to his Son. The promise does not have the words, and to his sons, for that means many sons. But it says, and to his Son, and that Son is Christ.

bwe@Galatians:3:17 @ Here is what I mean. The law was given <FI>to Moses<Fi> four hundred and thirty years after God gave that promise to Abraham. But it cannot break the strong promise which God made. And the law cannot change Gods promise.

bwe@Galatians:3:18 @ Do we get what God has promised us by obeying the law? If we do, then we are not getting it by his promise. But God gave it to Abraham by his promise.

bwe@Galatians:3:20 @ To need the help of a middle man there must be more than one person making the agreement. But God is the only one who made the promise.

bwe@Galatians:3:22 @ But the holy writings say it is like this. The whole world is in prison, kept there by the wrong things they have done. This was done so that people who believe in Jesus Christ would have the blessing. This blessing was promised to those who believe.

bwe@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that one has come for us to believe in, the law does not watch over us any longer.

bwe@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the right time came, God sent his Son to make us free. He was born by a woman during the time when men had to obey the law.

bwe@Galatians:4:7 @ So then, because of what God has done, you are no longer a slave but you are a son. And because you are a son, you will receive what he promised.

bwe@Galatians:4:9 @ But now you know God. That is, God knows you. Then why do you turn to things that are weak and can do no good? Do you want to obey them again?

bwe@Galatians:4:14 @ My sickness troubled you. But you did not think wrongly of me or turn away from me. You received me as if I were an angel from God, as if I were Christ Jesus.

bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.

bwe@Galatians:4:18 @ Of course, it is good if someone tries to help you, but only if it is for a good reason. It is always good, not only when I am with you.

bwe@Galatians:4:20 @ I wish I could be with you now, and not have to talk this way. But I am troubled about you.

bwe@Galatians:4:23 @ The child of the slave woman was born as any child is born. But the child of the free woman was born because God promised he would be born.

bwe@Galatians:4:26 @ But the city of Jerusalem in heaven is free, and that is our mother.

bwe@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the holy writings say? They says, Put away the slave woman and her son. The son of the slave woman will have nothing when the father dies. The son of the free woman will have everything.

bwe@Galatians:4:31 @ So, my brothers, we are not the children of the slave woman, but we are children of the free woman.

bwe@Galatians:5:5 @ But we hope to be made right by believing in Christ. The Spirit helps us to do this.

bwe@Galatians:5:8 @ God calls you but he is not the one who made you change your minds.

bwe@Galatians:5:10 @ The Lord makes me sure that you will not think any other way. But the teacher who is troubling your minds will be punished. It does not matter who he is.

bwe@Galatians:5:13 @ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not take that to mean that you can do as you please. But work for each other because you love each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and chew each other, be careful, or you will be killed by each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:22 @ But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:8 @ The man who plants the wrong things he wants to do will get death, because of those wrong things. But the person who plants what the Spirit wants him to do will live for ever, because of the Spirit.

bwe@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, when we can, we should do good to all people. But most of all, we should do it to those who are in Gods family.

bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.

bwe@Galatians:6:14 @ But I will not be proud of anything but of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of it, the things of the world have become dead to me, and I have become dead to the world.

bwe@Galatians:6:15 @ It does not matter if a person is circumcised or not, but he must become a new person.

bwe@Ephesians:1:20 @ He is greater than any ruler, power, chief, or king. His name is greater than any other name, not only in this world, but in the world that will come.

bwe@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God was very, very kind. He loved us very, very much.

bwe@Ephesians:2:8 @ You have been saved by Gods love and kindness because you believed. It was not because of anything you did, but it was a gift from God.

bwe@Ephesians:2:13 @ At one time you were far away, but now you have been brought near to God by the blood <FI>death<Fi> of Jesus Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers or people far away. But you live with Gods people and belong to Gods family.

bwe@Ephesians:3:5 @ In the past, God did not tell his plan to people. But now the Holy Spirit has shown it to his holy apostles and prophets.

bwe@Ephesians:4:7 @ But each one of us has received a blessing, whatever amount Christ has given to each one.

bwe@Ephesians:4:28 @ The person who used to steal must not steal now. But he must do some good work with his own hands. Then he will have something to give to the poor people.

bwe@Ephesians:4:29 @ Do not let any bad words come out of your mouth. But say good things that will help people. Then those who hear you will also be blessed by what you say.

bwe@Ephesians:5:4 @ There should be no dirty talk, no foolish talk, no funny stories with a wrong meaning. This is not a good way to talk. But what you should do is thank God.

bwe@Ephesians:5:8 @ You were in the dark before, but now the Lord has given you light. Live like people who have the light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:13 @ But when the light shines on something, it can be seen. Anything that shows up wrong ways is light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:15 @ Take care how you live. Do not live like people who are not wise, but live like people who are wise.

bwe@Ephesians:5:18 @ Do not get drunk with wine. That is living in a wrong way. But be filled with the Spirit.

bwe@Ephesians:5:27 @ He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.

bwe@Ephesians:5:29 @ No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.

bwe@Ephesians:6:3 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.

bwe@Ephesians:6:5 @ Obey not only when he is looking at you, as if you were pleasing a man. But obey as the servants of Christ, and do with all your heart what God wants you to do.

bwe@Ephesians:6:11 @ We are not fighting against people of flesh and blood. But we are fighting against rulers and powers whom we cannot see. We are fighting against those who control the darkness of this world, and against bad spirits who have power in the air.

bwe@Philippians:1:16 @ The first ones do it because they want to prove they are better than I am. They do not have a good reason. But they think they will make trouble for me while I am in prison.

bwe@Philippians:1:18 @ But it does not matter. Every way, in the wrong way or in the right way, Christ is talked about. I will be glad because of that.

bwe@Philippians:1:20 @ I look forward to this very much and hope that I will not be ashamed at all. But I want to be very strong. I want to bring honour to Christ now as I always have. I can do this if I live or die.

bwe@Philippians:1:24 @ But you need me more to stay here.

bwe@Philippians:1:29 @ God has given you a special gift. You can not only believe in Christ but also suffer for him.

bwe@Philippians:2:3 @ Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves.

bwe@Philippians:2:4 @ Each one of you should not think only about himself, but about other people also.

bwe@Philippians:2:12 @ My dear people, you have always obeyed me. God has saved you from wrong ways. Now show this by the good things that you do. You must live that way, not only when I am with you, but much more now that I am not with you. Think of how wrong it will be if you do not. Try hard to work out how to do it.

bwe@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know what a good man Timothy is. You know that he has worked with me in telling the good news. He has worked just as a son works with his father.

bwe@Philippians:2:27 @ He was very sick! He almost died! But God was kind to him. He was not only kind to him, but also to me. God did not let me have one trouble after another.

bwe@Philippians:2:30 @ He almost died doing the work of Christ. You wished to help me, but you could not come. He came instead. He was willing to put his life in danger in order to help me.

bwe@Philippians:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.

bwe@Philippians:3:7 @ But all these things that might have helped me, I call them all nothing, because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.

bwe@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not mean to say that I have got there yet, or that I am perfect yet. But I am trying hard to get there, because that is why Christ saved me.

bwe@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not yet think that I have got all the things of Christ. But there is one thing that I am doing. I forget what is behind me and reach out to what is ahead of me.

bwe@Philippians:3:16 @ But no matter how far we have gone, we must keep on going that way. And let us do it together, having the same things in mind.

bwe@Philippians:3:20 @ But we belong to heaven. And we are waiting for the Saviour to come from heaven. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:4:9 @ The Lord made me very happy to know that you were thinking about me again. Yes, I know you were thinking of me before, but you had no way to help me.

bwe@Philippians:4:13 @ But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.

bwe@Philippians:4:16 @ It is not that I want the gift. But I want you to have more and more blessing because you give.

bwe@Colossians:1:22 @ But now Christ himself has died on a cross, and he has brought you back to God. Christ will bring you before God holy, clean, and good.

bwe@Colossians:1:23 @ But you must keep on believing and stand strong and true. Let nothing shake the hope which the good news brought you. You heard the same good news as is told to everyone in the whole world. I, Paul, was given the work of telling that same good news.

bwe@Colossians:1:26 @ This message is about the secret plan of God. People who lived in all the past times of the world did not know about this plan. But now it has been told to Gods people.

bwe@Colossians:2:11 @ In Christ you were not circumcised by mens hands. But you were circumcised in Christs way when all the wrong things you did in your bodies were taken away.

bwe@Colossians:2:13 @ You were dead because of the wrong things you had done, and because your lives had not been made clean. But God gave you life with Christ. He forgave you for all the wrong things you did.

bwe@Colossians:2:17 @ They are like a shadow of what is to come. But Christ is the body that makes the shadow.

bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.

bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.

bwe@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must stop all these: being angry, hating people, wrong feelings toward others, saying wrong things about people, and dirty talking.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ The people at the city of Philippi treated us very badly. As you know, we had much trouble. But God helped us, and we did not fear to tell you Gods good news. But many things were against us and tried to stop us.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But God chose us to tell people the good news. And so we do not speak to please men, but to please God. He is the one who knows what is in our hearts.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were kind when we were with you. We were like a woman taking care of her own children.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And here is another reason why we always thank God all the time. When you heard Gods word from us, you did not say, That is mens word. But you said, That is Gods word. And it really is Gods word. The word is working in you Christians.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They try to stop us from talking to those people who are not Jews. They do not want them to be saved. So they are always doing wrong things. And now at last, God has become very angry with them. have been away from you for a short time in body, but not in heart. We wanted very much to see you face to face, and we tried hard to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ We wanted to come to you. Twice, I, Paul, wanted to come. But Satan stopped us.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ So anyone who does not obey is not just disobeying a man, but he is disobeying God. And it is God who has given us his Holy Spirit.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And you do love all the Christian brothers who are in the whole country of Macedonia. But we beg you, brothers, love them more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, my brothers, are not in the dark. That day should not surprise you like a person who comes to steal.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ Because we belong to the day, we must not get drunk. But we must be ready like people dressed for war. We must keep believing in God. We must be loving towards each other. Faith and love will be like strong clothes to cover our bodies. The hope of being saved will protect us like a hat or helmet covers our head.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ God did not choose us so that he might be angry with us. But he chose us so that we might be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ But test everything that is said. Keep what is good.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ The plan to make people wrong has already begun to work. But someone is holding back that plan. He will stop the law-breaker for a time.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ They will all be judged. I mean the people who have not believed in the true message but who wanted to do what is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ We did not eat anyones food without paying for it. But we worked very hard day and night because we did not want to trouble any one of you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We have the right to be helped. But we wanted to show you what you should do in this matter.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are lazy. You do not work, but you trouble other people.

bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.

bwe@1Timothy:1:13 @ There was a time when I did not respect him. I troubled his people. I said wrong things about him. But he was very kind to me, because I did not know what I was doing and I did not believe in him.

bwe@1Timothy:2:9 @ I also want women to wear the right kind of clothes. They should not make a show of themselves, but use good sense. They should not fix up their hair in a fancy way, or wear gold and fine stones, or clothes that cost much money.

bwe@1Timothy:2:10 @ But women should busy themselves with good works. This is the right thing for women who say they worship God.

bwe@1Timothy:2:13 @ Adam was not fooled. But the woman was fooled and did wrong.

bwe@1Timothy:2:14 @ But anyway, the women will come safely through the time of delivering a child, if they keep on believing and loving God, and if they live a clean life and keep humble.

bwe@1Timothy:3:3 @ He must not get drunk. He must not fight. But he must be kind. He must not quarrel. He must not love money.

bwe@1Timothy:4:8 @ To make the body strong helps a little, but the things of God help us in all ways. The things of God promise us life now and life in heaven.

bwe@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not be angry with an older man if he has done something wrong, but talk kindly to him as you would talk to your father. Talk to the young men like brothers.

bwe@1Timothy:5:6 @ But a woman who spends her time in pleasing herself is really dead, even while she still lives.

bwe@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow who is over sixty years old, may be chosen to help the church people. But she must have been the wife of one husband.

bwe@1Timothy:5:11 @ But do not choose young women. When they begin to love other things more than Christ, they will want to marry again.

bwe@1Timothy:5:13 @ Not only that, but they also become lazy. They walk about going from house to house. Not only are they lazy but they talk too much and tell stories about people. They tell things they should not tell.

bwe@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not drink water only. But drink a little wine to help your stomach because you are sick so often.

bwe@1Timothy:5:24 @ The wrong things some men do can be seen clearly and show that they should be punished. But wrong things other people do are not seen until later.

bwe@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you belong to God, Timothy. Have nothing to do with all this. But do what is right. Do what God wants you to do. Believe in Christ. Be loving. Be patient. Be kind.

bwe@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.

bwe@2Timothy:1:7 @ God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.

bwe@2Timothy:1:10 @ But now he has made it real through the coming of Jesus Christ who saves. He has put death out of the way. He has shown people can have everlasting life by telling them the good news.

bwe@2Timothy:1:12 @ That is why I have this trouble. But I am not ashamed of it because I know the one whom I have trusted. And I am sure he is able to keep safe what I have trusted to him. He will keep it safe until that great day when he comes again.

bwe@2Timothy:2:5 @ A man runs a race. But he does not win if he does not obey the rules.

bwe@2Timothy:2:9 @ Because of that, I have trouble. I am even tied with chains like a bad man. But the word of God is not tied up.

bwe@2Timothy:2:19 @ But the truth of God stands strong. It cannot change. These words are sure: The Lord knows the people who belong to him and, Let all those who use the name of the Lord stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Timothy:2:24 @ The Lords servant must not fight. But he must be kind to all people. He must be a good teacher to them. He must be patient with them.

bwe@2Timothy:3:7 @ They are always trying to learn, but never able to find out what is really true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:9 @ But these men will not get very far. Everyone will see that they are wrong, just as people saw that Jannes and Jambres were wrong.

bwe@2Timothy:3:11 @ You know about my troubles. You know what happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. You know how badly the people treated me. But the Lord brought me safely through it all.

bwe@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you, Timothy, must keep on doing the things you have learned. You know they are right. You know who taught them to you.

bwe@2Timothy:4:4 @ They will not listen to what is true, but will turn away and listen to strange stories.

bwe@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you, Timothy, must always be watching. Be patient in your troubles. Tell the good news. Do all the work God has given you to do.

bwe@2Timothy:4:8 @ From now on, my reward is waiting for me, because I have done what is right. The Lord will repay me on the day when he comes back. He judges the right way. I will not be the only one to get a reward from him. But he will repay all those who want very much to see him.

bwe@2Timothy:4:13 @ I left a coat with Carpus in Troas. Bring it with you when you come, and also bring the books. But most of all, I want the written papers.

bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.

bwe@Titus:1:7 @ But he must be kind to strangers in his house. He must love what is good. He must be wise. He must do what is right. He must live a holy life. He must know how to control himself.

bwe@Titus:1:14 @ All things are clean to those who have a clean mind. But nothing is clean to those who do wrong things and do not believe. Their minds and their hearts are full of wrong things.

bwe@Titus:1:15 @ They say that they know God. But what they do shows that they do not know him. They live in a way that God hates. They do not obey. They can do nothing that is good.

bwe@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, Titus, you must teach what is right.

bwe@Titus:2:10 @ They must not steal, but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them. In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good.

bwe@Titus:3:5 @ We were not saved by any good things we did ourselves, but he saved us because he is so kind. He washed us clean. We were born again as a new person. The Holy Spirit has made us new.

bwe@Philemon:1:9 @ But because I love you, I would rather not tell you, but ask you to do this for me. I, Paul, am an old man and now I am in prison because I belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:11 @ At one time he was no help to you. But now he is a big help to you and to me.

bwe@Philemon:1:14 @ But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I did not want you to do this because you were forced to do it, but because you wanted to do it.

bwe@Philemon:1:16 @ Now he is not like a slave who must work for you. He is better than a slave. He is a Christian brother and you will love him. I love him very much. But you will love him even more because he belongs to you and he is a Christian.

bwe@Hebrews:1:8 @ But here is what God says about his Son: O God, you will sit and rule for ever. You will rule in the right way.

bwe@Hebrews:1:11 @ These things will come to an end, but you will live on. They will all wear out like clothes.

bwe@Hebrews:1:12 @ You will fold up the world and the sky as if they were a blanket. They will not stay as they are now. But you will always be as you are now. The years of your life will never end.

bwe@Hebrews:1:13 @ But did God ever say to any of the angels, Sit down beside me until I put your enemies under you?

bwe@Hebrews:2:7 @ You made him lower than angels for a little while. But then you made him very great and high.

bwe@Hebrews:2:8 @ You put everything under him for him to rule over. When God gave him the right to rule over everything, nothing was left out which he did not have the right to rule. But we do not yet see him ruling over everything.

bwe@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see Jesus! For a short time he was lower than the angels. Because he died, we see him made great and high. He did this so that he could die for every person. God is so good!

bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @ Gods children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.

bwe@Hebrews:2:18 @ He had a very hard time when he was tested. But because he was tested, he is able to help people who are tested.

bwe@Hebrews:3:3 @ But Jesus is much greater than Moses-as the one who builds a house is greater than the house itself.

bwe@Hebrews:3:4 @ Every house is built by someone, but God is the one who builds all things.

bwe@Hebrews:3:6 @ But Jesus Christ was true as a Son over Gods house. We are Gods house if we keep on believing and telling others what we hope to have.

bwe@Hebrews:3:13 @ But talk to each other every day while Today lasts, so that wrong ways will not fool any one of you and your hearts become hard.

bwe@Hebrews:4:2 @ The good news has been told to us just as it was told to the people in the desert. But the message which they heard did not do them any good. Even though they heard it, they did not believe it.

bwe@Hebrews:4:3 @ But we who believe, will go into that resting place of God. It is as God said, When I was angry, I said, "They will never go into my resting place." He said this even though his work had been finished ever since he had made the world.

bwe@Hebrews:4:6 @ So that means some people will go in. But the people who first heard the good news about it did not go in. They did not believe it.

bwe@Hebrews:4:15 @ We have a high priest who can feel with us when we are weak. He has been tested in every way, just as we are. But he did not do anything wrong.

bwe@Hebrews:5:4 @ No one chooses himself to be high priest. But God calls him, just as he called Aaron.

bwe@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ did not choose himself to be a high priest. But he was chosen by the One who said to him, You are my Son, and I am your Father today.

bwe@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have many things to say about him. But they are hard to explain to you. You are so slow to understand what we tell you.

bwe@Hebrews:5:12 @ By this time you should be able to teach others. But you need someone to teach you Gods word again from the very beginning. Like children, you need milk, not meat.

bwe@Hebrews:5:14 @ But meat is for people who are grown up. It is for people who have trained their minds to know the difference between what is good and what is bad.

bwe@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it grows thorns and weeds, it is no good. It will soon be cursed. In the end, it will be burned with fire.

bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:6:12 @ Do not give up. But be like the people who get what God has promised. They believe God and keep on believing for a long time.

bwe@Hebrews:7:3 @ He has no father or mother. The names of the family from which he comes are not written down. It is not written down that he was born or that he died. But, like the Son of God, he stays on being a priest for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:7:6 @ But Melchizedek was not from Levis family. Yet he took a tenth of what Abraham had. And he blessed Abraham, to whom God made the promise.

bwe@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here, priests take their tenth, but they are people who will die one day. But Melchizedek, who took his tenth, never dies. The holy writings say it is so.

bwe@Hebrews:7:16 @ He was not made a priest by law. The law said that the priest must come from a certain tribe. But he was made a priest because he has power to live for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:7:19 @ The law did not make anything right. But something better has been brought to us. It is Gods promise. And by that promise we come near to God.

bwe@Hebrews:7:21 @ But this man was made priest by Gods strong promise. God said to him, The Lord has made a strong promise, and he will not change it. "You are a priest for ever."

bwe@Hebrews:7:24 @ But because Jesus lives forever, he is a priest for ever and no one takes his place.

bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.

bwe@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Christ has been given a much better work, because he is the man who is between God and men in making an agreement. This is a much better agreement. It was made by better promises.

bwe@Hebrews:8:9 @ It will not be like the agreement that I made with their fathers. I made that agreement the day I led them by the hand out of the country of Egypt. But they did not keep their part of my agreement, so I left them alone, the Lord says.

bwe@Hebrews:9:5 @ On top of the box were the shapes of two angels. They showed that God is great. Their wings spread over the cover of the box. It was the place where God showed that he is kind. But we cannot take time to tell about every part of these things now.

bwe@Hebrews:9:7 @ But only the high priest went into the second part. And he went in only once a year. He never went in without taking blood with him. He gave the blood to God for the wrong things he had done and for the wrong things people had done.

bwe@Hebrews:9:9 @ This first part is a picture of the time we are in now. In it gifts and sacrifices are made to God. But they cannot make a persons heart clean to worship God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ has come as the high priest of the good things which have come. He went through a greater and better house which was not made by mens hands. It is not a part of this world.

bwe@Hebrews:9:23 @ These things on earth show in a little way what things in heaven are like. The things on earth had to be cleaned by the blood of animals. But the things in heaven had to be cleaned with better sacrifices than these.

bwe@Hebrews:9:26 @ If Christ were like him, he would have had to die many times ever since the world was first made. But as it is now, Christ came once in the last days of the world. He came to clean away what is wrong by giving himself as a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:9:28 @ So Christ gave himself as a sacrifice only once. He took on himself the wrong things many people have done. He will come a second time. But he will not come to do anything about the wrong things people have done. He will come to save those who are looking and waiting for him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:1 @ The law can show only a little about the good things that are coming. It cannot show the good things themselves. People come to worship God. But the law can never make them all right by the same sacrifices that are brought every year.

bwe@Hebrews:10:3 @ But, by making these sacrifices, they show that they do remember the wrong things they have done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:5 @ That is why Christ said when he came into the world, You did not want sacrifices and gifts. But you made a body for me.

bwe@Hebrews:10:11 @ Every priest stands day after day doing his work. He makes the same sacrifices many times. But these sacrifices can never clean away the wrong things people have done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:12 @ But Christ made one sacrifice to clean away their wrong ways for ever. Then he sat down beside God.

bwe@Hebrews:10:25 @ Do not stop going to church meetings. Some people do stop. But help each other to be strong. You must do it all the more as you see the Great Day coming closer.

bwe@Hebrews:10:27 @ But we will be judged, and that makes us fear. Gods anger will be like a very hot fire that will burn up those who are against him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:29 @ But the person who should have much bigger punishment is the one who turns against the Son of God. That person was made holy by the blood of the new agreement and then calls it nothing. He no longer honours and respects the Spirit who has been so kind to him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:39 @ We are not the people who turn back and so are lost. But we are people who believe, and so we are saved.

bwe@Hebrews:11:4 @ Because Abel believed God, he made a sacrifice that pleased God more than the one Cain made. Because Abel believed God, God showed that he was good. God was pleased with his gifts. Abel died. But because he believed God, he still speaks to us through his faith.

bwe@Hebrews:11:11 @ Sarah also believed God, and she was able to have a baby even though she was too old to have children. But she trusted God to do what he had promised.

bwe@Hebrews:11:12 @ Abraham was too old to be a father, but a great nation was born from that one man. They are as many as the stars in the sky and as the sands on the seaside. No man can count them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:13 @ These people all died still believing God. They did not get the things God had promised them. But they saw them far away and were glad to see them. They said they did not belong to this world, but were only travelling in it.

bwe@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they want a better country. They want a place in heaven. That is why God wants to be called their God. He has made a city ready for them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:31 @ Rahab was a woman who used her body wrongly for sex to get money. But she believed in God, so she did not die with the people who did not believe in God. This was when the men came to spy out her country. She took them into her house in peace.

bwe@Hebrews:11:34 @ The big, hot fire did not burn them. They got away from men who wanted to kill them with long knives or swords. They were weak, but they became strong. They became very strong to fight. They drove away the armies of their enemies.

bwe@Hebrews:11:39 @ All of these people had good things said about them because they believed God. But they did not get what God had promised.

bwe@Hebrews:11:40 @ God planned something better. They will be made perfect but only with us.

bwe@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have been fighting against bad people. But you have not been hurt very much.

bwe@Hebrews:12:10 @ Our fathers on earth punished us for a short time the way they wanted to. But God punishes us the way it is good for us. He is holy and good, so he wants us to become holy also.

bwe@Hebrews:12:11 @ At the time a person is punished, he is not glad. He is sad. But after it is over, there is peace. Then those who are trained by it do what is right.

bwe@Hebrews:12:13 @ Walk straight ahead. Then weak feet will not get worse, but will be made well.

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:17 @ You know that later he wanted to get the blessing, but he did not get it. He could not turn back. He even cried as he begged for the blessing.

bwe@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to a hill called Zion. You have come to the city of the living God. It is the Jerusalem in heaven. You have come to many thousands of angels in a happy gathering.

bwe@Hebrews:12:26 @ That time his voice shook the earth. But now he has said, Only once more I will shake the earth and the sky also.

bwe@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have a sacrifice. But priests who serve God on earth have no right to eat from this sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:13:14 @ Here we do not have a city that will last for ever, but we are looking for the city that will come.

bwe@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good things for people, and to give what you have to those who need it. These are sacrifices that please God.

bwe@James:1:4 @ But you must keep on being strong to take trouble. Then you will be all right in every way. You will not need anything more.

bwe@James:1:6 @ But when you ask, you must believe that God will do it. You must not doubt and think, Perhaps God will not do it. A person who doubts is like a wave on the sea. The wind drives it this way and that way.

bwe@James:1:11 @ The sun shines and is very hot. Then the grass dries and its flower falls off. It was nice at first, but now it is not nice any more. In the same way, the rich man will die while he is going around trying to make money.

bwe@James:1:22 @ But obey Gods word. Do not just listen to it. If you just listen to it, you fool yourselves.

bwe@James:1:25 @ But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free from their old ways. Anyone who looks into that law and remembers it, is happy because he obeys the law. He does not just listen to the law and forget it, but he obeys what the law says.

bwe@James:1:26 @ Some of you think that you are doing what God wants. But you are not careful what you say. If you are like that, you are fooling yourself. And you are not doing what God wants.

bwe@James:2:3 @ You look at the man who wears fine clothes. And you say to him, Sit here on this good chair. But you say to the poor man, Stand over there, or you say, Sit on the floor by my feet.

bwe@James:2:6 @ But you made the poor man ashamed. Is it not the rich people who trouble you? Are not they the ones who take you to court?

bwe@James:2:9 @ But if you think one man is better than another, that is wrong. The law says you are a bad person.

bwe@James:2:10 @ Anyone who obeys the law, but then breaks one of the laws, has broken all the laws.

bwe@James:2:11 @ God made the law, Do not use sex wrongly. God also made the law, Do not kill.If you do not have wrong sex, but you kill, you have broken the law.

bwe@James:2:16 @ Perhaps one of you says to them, God bless you. Be warm. Eat all you want. But what good is that if you do not give them what they need for their bodies?

bwe@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. That is right. But even the bad spirits believe that. And they shake with fear.

bwe@James:2:25 @ Rahab was a bad woman. But in the same way God called her a good woman because of something she did. She took the men into her house and then let them go out another way.

bwe@James:3:4 @ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.

bwe@James:3:5 @ A persons tongue is like that. It is a small part of the body but it talks about big things. A very small fire can burn a big pile of wood!

bwe@James:3:8 @ But no one can tame the tongue. It is a bad thing that will not be ruled. It is full of poison that can kill.

bwe@James:3:15 @ God did not give you wisdom like that. But it comes from this world. It comes from people. It comes from bad spirits.

bwe@James:4:2 @ You want something but you cannot get it. Then you kill. You want something very much and cannot get it. So you quarrel and fight. You do not get it because you do not ask God for it.

bwe@James:4:3 @ You ask for it, but you do not get it, because you ask in a wrong way. You want to use it for yourselves and not for others.

bwe@James:4:4 @ You people promised God you would be true to him, but you did not stay true! Do you not know that if you love the world you hate God? Anyone who wants to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

bwe@James:4:6 @ But God helps you even more than that. That is why the holy writings say, God fights against those who are proud, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@James:4:11 @ My brothers, do not say wrong things about each other. A man who says wrong things about his brother or judges his brother is saying wrong things about Gods law and he is judging Gods law. If you judge the law, you are not obeying the law, but you are a judge.

bwe@James:4:13 @ Listen to me! You say, Today or tomorrow we will go to that town. We will stay there a year. We will buy and sell and get rich. But you do not know what will happen to you tomorrow.

bwe@James:4:16 @ But now you talk about the big things you will do. All that kind of talk is wrong!

bwe@James:4:17 @ But if a person knows what he should do and he does not do it, he has done something wrong.

bwe@1Peter:1:1 @ I am Peter. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send this letter to Gods chosen people. You are like people on a journey. You live in the countries of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. But you do not belong there.

bwe@1Peter:1:7 @ To believe is worth more than to have gold. Gold can spoil, but it is tested by fire to show that it is good. So troubles test you to prove that you believe. Then, because you really believe, you will be praised and made great and have honour when Jesus Christ comes again.

bwe@1Peter:1:12 @ The Spirit showed them that they told these things not for themselves, but for you. And now the men who told you the good news have told you these same things. They spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit who was sent from heaven. Even the angels wanted very much to know about these things.

bwe@1Peter:1:15 @ But be holy in all the things you do. Be holy because the one who has called you is holy.

bwe@1Peter:1:18 @ You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.

bwe@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been made Gods children. He did not make you his children by something that dies, but by something that cannot die. That is the word of God.

bwe@1Peter:1:24 @ The holy writings say, People may be great. But they are like a flower on the grass. The grass dies and the flower falls off.

bwe@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord cannot die! And this word is the good news which has been told to you.

bwe@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to the Lord Jesus. He is like a living stone. People did not want to use it. But God chose it. It was worth very much to him.

bwe@1Peter:2:7 @ He is worth very much to you who believe in him. But some people do not believe in him. To them he is, the stone that the men who were building would not use. But now it is the chief stone at the corner.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:9 @ At one time you were not Gods people. But now you are Gods people. At one time you did not know Gods kindness. Now you do.

bwe@1Peter:2:11 @ Live good lives among the people who do not believe. They may talk about you as if you do wrong things. But when they see the good things you do, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you.

bwe@1Peter:2:15 @ You are free people. But do not think, I am free so I can do wrong things. You are Gods servants.

bwe@1Peter:2:17 @ Servants, respect and obey your masters in all things. Obey not only those who are good to you. But also obey those who are hard on you.

bwe@1Peter:2:19 @ What praise will you have if you take a beating when you have done something wrong? But when you do right and are punished, if you take it quietly, God is pleased.

bwe@1Peter:2:22 @ When people said wrong things to him, he did not say wrong things to them. When he was punished, he did not say, I will do something to you! But he trusted in God who judges what is right.

bwe@1Peter:2:24 @ Like lost sheep, you were going away from God. But now you have come back to the one who takes care of you and helps you.

bwe@1Peter:3:4 @ But you must be fine in your heart. Have a heart that is gentle and quiet. That will not wear out. And God thinks it is worth very much.

bwe@1Peter:3:9 @ You must not do wrong things to those who do wrong things to you. You must not say wrong things to those who say wrong things to you. But ask God to bless those people. This is what you have been called to do. Then God will bless you.

bwe@1Peter:3:12 @ The Lord watches over those who do good. He listens when they talk to him. But the Lord is against those who do wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.

bwe@1Peter:3:15 @ Worship Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. But be gentle and respect him.

bwe@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ died that once because of our wrong ways. He was good and he died for those who were bad. He did this to bring us to God. His body died, but his spirit had new life.

bwe@1Peter:3:21 @ The water of baptism is like that. It saves you. It does not save you because it washes dirt from your bodies. But it saves you because you bring yourselves to God with a clean heart. It saves you because Jesus Christ has been raised from death.

bwe@1Peter:4:16 @ But if a man suffers because he is a Christian, he should not be ashamed of it. He should praise God that he is a Christian.

bwe@1Peter:4:19 @ If God allows you to suffer, trust him. He made you and you can trust him. But keep on doing good things.

bwe@1Peter:5:2 @ Take good care of Gods people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

bwe@1Peter:5:3 @ Do not be like a boss over the people you care for, telling them how to live. But show them how to live by the way you live.

bwe@1Peter:5:5 @ Also, you who are younger men, obey your leaders. I say to all of you, do not be proud. Do not think you are better than the others. The holy writings say, God fights against proud people, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@2Peter:1:9 @ But the man who does not do these things is like a blind man. He can see only a little way. He has forgotten that he was made clean from the wrong things he used to do.

bwe@2Peter:1:15 @ But I will try to see that you have something to bring these things to your minds, even after I am gone.

bwe@2Peter:1:21 @ The prophets did not say what they wanted to say. But the Holy Spirit made them speak. And they spoke Gods message.

bwe@2Peter:2:1 @ But prophets who were not true were also among the people of Israel. Also there will be teachers who will not be true among you. They will bring in wrong teaching that leads to death. They will even say that they do not belong to the Master who bought them. And so they will quickly bring themselves to death.

bwe@2Peter:2:5 @ In the days long ago, God punished the world. But he saved Noah who told people what was right. And God saved seven other people. But he made water cover the world full of bad people.

bwe@2Peter:2:7 @ But God saved Lot out of the trouble. Lot was a good man. He did not like the wrong way the bad people lived.

bwe@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was told to stop doing wrong. The animal he was riding talked with a mans voice. It tried to make the prophet stop his foolish way.

bwe@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them that they will be free. But they themselves are slaves of death. A man is a slave of anything that rules over him.

bwe@2Peter:3:6 @ But later on these same waters covered the world in a flood and the people died.

bwe@2Peter:3:9 @ God will do what he promised. He is not slow though, as some people think he is. But he is waiting a long time for you. He does not want anyone to die, but he wants all people to stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Peter:3:13 @ But we are looking for a new sky and a new earth which God has promised. Only good things will be in them.

bwe@1John:2:1 @ My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not do wrong things. But if anyone does something wrong, we have a Friend to help us. He speaks to God for us. He is Jesus Christ who does what is right.

bwe@1John:2:5 @ But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.

bwe@1John:2:8 @ But in a way, I am writing you a new law. The darkness is going away and the true light is shining already.

bwe@1John:2:11 @ But the man who hates his brother is in the dark. He lives in the dark. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has made him blind.

bwe@1John:2:17 @ And the world will go away and all the things in it that people like to do. But the person who does what God wants him to do will live for ever.

bwe@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.

bwe@1John:2:20 @ But the Holy One has given you a gift of understanding so that you all may know what is true.

bwe@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know what is true, but because you do know. And you know that no lie is true.

bwe@1John:3:2 @ My dear brothers, we are Gods children now. No one knows yet what we shall be like. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like him. We will see him as he really is.

bwe@1John:4:1 @ My dear brothers, do not trust every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they belong to God. There are many prophets who are not true who have gone out into the world.

bwe@1John:4:6 @ But we belong to God. Anyone who knows God listens to us. Anyone who does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know if a spirit is true or not true.

bwe@1John:4:8 @ But anyone who does not love others does not know God, because God is love.

bwe@1John:4:10 @ This is love! We did not love God, but he loved us. And he sent his Son to be the sacrifice to pay for the wrong things we have done.

bwe@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God. But God lives in us if we love one another. And in loving one another, his love is made perfect.

bwe@1John:5:6 @ There was water and there was blood when Jesus Christ came. There was not water only, but there was water and there was blood. The Spirit proves this is true, because the Spirit is true.

bwe@1John:5:9 @ We believe what people prove to us. But when God proves something it is stronger than what people prove. This is what God proved about his Son.

bwe@1John:5:16 @ Maybe a man sees his brother do something wrong, but not so bad that he must die for it. The man should ask God and God will let his brother live. God will let people live if the things they have done are not so bad that they must die for them. But there are things so wrong that a person must die for them. If he has done such as that, I do not tell the man to ask God to let him live.

bwe@1John:5:17 @ Everything that is wrong is a bad thing. But not every bad thing is so wrong that a person must die for it.

bwe@2John:1:8 @ Watch out for yourselves! Do not lose what you have worked for, but receive all the reward that you should have.

bwe@2John:1:12 @ I have much to write to you. But I do not want to write it on paper. I hope to come to visit you and talk with you. Then we will be very happy.

bwe@3John:1:7 @ So we should help such men with what they need. Then we are doing our part to tell the true message. I wrote a letter to the people of the church. But Diotrephes wants to be the leader. He will not listen to us.

bwe@3John:1:9 @ My dear brother, do not do the wrong things people do, but do the good things people do. Anyone who does good things belongs to God. Anyone who does wrong things has never seen God.

bwe@3John:1:11 @ I have much to write to you. But I do not want to write to you with pen and ink.

bwe@Jude:1:3 @ My dear brothers, I wanted very much to write to you and tell you how we all are saved. But then I saw that I must write and tell you to hold very strongly to what you do believe. Fight against those who want to change it. The right way to believe has been given to Gods people once for all times.

bwe@Jude:1:5 @ You know all these things for all times. But I want to bring them to your minds. First, the Lord saved his people from the country of Egypt. At a time after that, he killed those who did not believe in him.

bwe@Jude:1:6 @ Remember the angels also. Some of them did not keep the high place they had. But they left their home. God has them tied in chains for ever, and he is keeping them in a very dark place. He will keep them there until that big day when they will be judged.

bwe@Jude:1:9 @ At one time Michael the chief angel had a quarrel with the devil about who should have the body of Moses. But he did not dare to judge the devil and say wrong things about him. He said, May the Lord tell you to stop!

bwe@Jude:1:10 @ But these men say wrong things about everything they do not understand. They know some things just like animals that cannot think. And they will die because they do those wrong things.

bwe@Jude:1:17 @ But, my dear brothers, you must remember what the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ said would happen.

bwe@Jude:1:20 @ But you, my dear brothers, must make your lives better in the holy things you believe. Talk to God in the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Jude:1:23 @ Pull them out of the fire and save them. There are other people to whom you must be kind, but be careful about it. But you must hate even the clothes that bad people have worn.

bwe@Revelation:1:18 @ I am he who lives. I died. But look, I am alive for ever. I have the keys to death and to the world of the dead.

bwe@Revelation:2:2 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you work hard and are patient. I know that you have nothing to do with bad men. You tested those who say they are messengers from God but are not. You proved that they are not true apostles.

bwe@Revelation:2:4 @ But here is what I say against you. You do not love as you loved at first.

bwe@Revelation:2:6 @ But this is good: you hate the things which the people called Nicolaitans do. I hate the things they do also."

bwe@Revelation:2:8 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Smyrna: Here are the words of the one who is the First and the Last. He is the one who died but lived again.

bwe@Revelation:2:9 @ He says, "I know the things you do and the trouble you have. I know you are poor. But you are rich in some ways. I know some people do not respect God. They call themselves Jews. But they are not real Jews. They belong to Satans people.

bwe@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not be afraid of the troubles you will have. Yes, the devil will put some of you into prison where you will be tested. You will have trouble for ten days. But keep on believing, even if you have to die for it. I will give you life for ever."

bwe@Revelation:2:13 @ He says, "I know where you live. You live where Satan rules. But you keep my name and you have never said that you do not believe in me. You kept on believing in me even in the time of Antipas. He said he believed in me and was true to me. He was killed among you where Satan lives.

bwe@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things to say against you. You have some people there who believe the teaching of Balaam. He showed Balak how to trick the people of Israel and make them do wrong. They ate food that was given to idols, and they used sex wrongly.

bwe@Revelation:2:17 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. He says, "I will give some of the secret food to the person who wins. And I will give him a white stone. A new name will be written on the stone. No one will know the name but the one who gets the stone."

bwe@Revelation:2:20 @ But I have this to say against you. You let that woman named Jezebel keep on teaching. She calls herself a prophet of God but teaches my servants wrong things. She fools them to use sex wrongly and eat food that has been given to idols.

bwe@Revelation:2:21 @ I gave her time to stop, but she will not stop her wrong sexual ways and turn back to God.

bwe@Revelation:2:24 @ But some of you in Thyatira do not listen to that womans teaching. You have not learned what some people call the deep things of Satan. To you I say, I will put no other load on you.

bwe@Revelation:3:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Sardis: Here are the words of the one who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. He says, "I know what you do. People say that you are alive, but you are dead.

bwe@Revelation:3:4 @ But you have a few people in Sardis who have not made their clothes dirty. They will walk with me in white clothes, because they are good enough.

bwe@Revelation:3:8 @ He says, "I know what you do. Look, I have opened a door in front of you. No one can shut it. I know that you do not have much power. But you have obeyed my word and you have never said you did not believe in me.

bwe@Revelation:3:9 @ Look! I will bring some people who belong to Satans group. They call themselves Jews, but they are not real Jews. They lie. Look, I will make them come and kneel down in front of you. They will know that I have loved you.

bwe@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard a voice among the four living beings. It said, Four cups of wheat for bread will sell for a days wages. Twelve cups of barley will sell for a days wages. But do not destroy the oil and the wine.

bwe@Revelation:9:5 @ They were told not to kill them, but to trouble them for five months. The pain they give is like the pain a scorpion gives when it strikes a person.

bwe@Revelation:9:6 @ In those days people will look for death, but they will not be able to find it. They will want to die, but death will fly away from them.

bwe@Revelation:9:20 @ The other people were not killed by these big troubles. But they did not stop worshipping what they had made with their hands. They did not stop worshipping bad spirits and idols made of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood. These idols cannot see or hear or walk.

bwe@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken, I was going to write down what they said. But I heard a voice from the sky that said, Do not tell what the seven thunders said. Do not write it down.

bwe@Revelation:10:7 @ But when the seventh angel calls by blowing his trumpet, then the secret plan of God will be finished. It will happen just as God told his servants, the prophets.

bwe@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. He said to me, Take it and eat it. It will be bitter inside you, but it will be sweet like honey in your mouth.

bwe@Revelation:10:10 @ So I took the little book from the angels hand and ate it. It was sweet like honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

bwe@Revelation:11:11 @ But after the three and a half days, life came into them. They stood on their feet. And all those who saw them were very much afraid.

bwe@Revelation:11:18 @ The people who did not believe you became angry. But now you are angry. It is time for dead people to be judged. And it is time to reward your servants, the prophets of God, and your holy people and all who respect your name-those who are great and those who are not so great. It is time to destroy those who destroy the earth.

bwe@Revelation:12:8 @ But they did not win the fight and no longer were they allowed to stay in heaven.

bwe@Revelation:12:11 @ They have won the fight against him by the blood of the Lambs death, and by what they said. They did not try to save their lives, but were willing to die.

bwe@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given two wings like a big eagles wings. With them she could fly away from the dragon into the wilderness to her place where she would have food for three and a half periods of time.

bwe@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman. It opened a big hole. And the river which the dragon had poured out of his mouth went down the hole.

bwe@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads had a cut, bad enough to kill it. But the bad cut was healed. All the people on earth were much surprised and followed the beast.

bwe@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb but talked like a dragon.

bwe@Revelation:13:14 @ It fools the people who live on earth by the wonderful things which it has been given power to do, while the first beast looks on. It tells the people on earth to make an idol like the first beast that was cut by the big knife but lived.

bwe@Revelation:14:3 @ They were singing a new song in front of Gods chief chair, in front of the four living beings and the leaders. No one could learn that song but the one hundred and forty-four thousand people. They have been bought from the earth.

bwe@Revelation:16:9 @ People were burned because the sun was so hot. And they spoke wrongly about the name of God, cursing him because he had the power to send these troubles. But they would not stop the wrong things they were doing. They would not respect and honour God.

bwe@Revelation:16:11 @ They cursed God in heaven because of their pain and sores. But they did not stop the wrong things they were doing. They would not turn back to God.

bwe@Revelation:17:14 @ They will fight against the Lamb, but the Lamb will win the fight against them. He will win because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are with the Lamb will also win. God has called them and chosen them, and they believe in him.

bwe@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I kneeled down in front of him to worship him. But he said to me, You must not do that! I am only a servant like you and like your brothers who tell about Jesus. Worship God! Those who tell about Jesus have the spirit of a prophet.

bwe@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes were like a flame of fire. On his head were many crowns. He had a name written on him, but no man knew what it was but he himself.

bwe@Revelation:20:6 @ God has blessed those who rise this first time, and they are holy. They will not die the second kind of death. But they will be priests of God and of Christ. They will rule with him for the thousand years.

bwe@Revelation:22:9 @ But He said to me, You must not do that. I am only a servant like you and your brothers, the prophets, and those who obey the words of this book. Worship God.
