tcent@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Matthew:1:20 @ But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Matthew:1:21 @ And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.«

tcent@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, »Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him.«

tcent@Matthew:2:5 @ So they said to him, »In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

tcent@Matthew:2:8 @ And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, »Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring back word to me, so that I too may come and worship him.«

tcent@Matthew:2:9 @ When they had heard the king they went their way; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came to rest over the place where the child was.

tcent@Matthew:2:13 @ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.«

tcent@Matthew:2:14 @ When he rose, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt,

tcent@Matthew:2:20 @ saying, »Rise, take the young child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.«

tcent@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, »Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.«

tcent@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

tcent@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, »You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

tcent@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

tcent@Matthew:3:10 @ Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

tcent@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

tcent@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.«

tcent@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered him, »Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.« Then he consented.

tcent@Matthew:4:2 @ And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry.

tcent@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, »If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written,

tcent@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him, »Away, Satan! for it is written,

tcent@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach and say, »Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.«

tcent@Matthew:4:18 @ As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

tcent@Matthew:5:11 @ Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake.

tcent@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

tcent@Matthew:5:13 @ »You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its taste, how shall it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

tcent@Matthew:5:16 @ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will by any means pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

tcent@Matthew:5:20 @ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

tcent@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go. First be reconciled to your brother; and then come and offer your gift.

tcent@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

tcent@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell.

tcent@Matthew:5:33 @ »Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’

tcent@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

tcent@Matthew:5:35 @ or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

tcent@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

tcent@Matthew:5:38 @ »You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

tcent@Matthew:5:41 @ And if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

tcent@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

tcent@Matthew:5:45 @ that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

tcent@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

tcent@Matthew:5:48 @ You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

tcent@Matthew:6:1 @ »Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:6:2 @ »Thus, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you pray, do not use empty repetitions as the Gentiles do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

tcent@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

tcent@Matthew:6:14 @ For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

tcent@Matthew:6:15 @ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

tcent@Matthew:6:16 @ »And when you fast, do not look gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

tcent@Matthew:6:20 @ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

tcent@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

tcent@Matthew:6:24 @ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

tcent@Matthew:6:25 @ »Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

tcent@Matthew:6:31 @ Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

tcent@Matthew:6:32 @ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

tcent@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

tcent@Matthew:7:2 @ For with the same judgment you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

tcent@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to the dogs; do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

tcent@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

tcent@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

tcent@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

tcent@Matthew:7:12 @ So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

tcent@Matthew:7:13 @ »Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.

tcent@Matthew:7:14 @ For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

tcent@Matthew:7:24 @ »Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

tcent@Matthew:7:29 @ for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

tcent@Matthew:8:2 @ And behold, a leper came and knelt before him, saying, »Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.«

tcent@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help,

tcent@Matthew:8:9 @ For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.«

tcent@Matthew:8:13 @ Then to the centurion Jesus said, »Go; be it done for you as you have believed.« And his servant was healed at that very hour.

tcent@Matthew:8:29 @ And behold, they cried out, »What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?«

tcent@Matthew:9:2 @ And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, »Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.«

tcent@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?

tcent@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he then said to the paralytic—»Rise, take up your bed and go home.«

tcent@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.«

tcent@Matthew:9:16 @ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

tcent@Matthew:9:18 @ While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came and knelt before him, saying, »My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live.«

tcent@Matthew:9:20 @ And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment.

tcent@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, »If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.«

tcent@Matthew:9:24 @ he said, »Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.« And they laughed at him.

tcent@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

tcent@Matthew:9:38 @ Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.«

tcent@Matthew:10:10 @ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker is worthy of his food.

tcent@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

tcent@Matthew:10:16 @ »Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

tcent@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues.

tcent@Matthew:10:18 @ You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

tcent@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

tcent@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

tcent@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

tcent@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

tcent@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

tcent@Matthew:10:26 @ »So do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

tcent@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

tcent@Matthew:10:31 @ Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

tcent@Matthew:10:32 @ »Therefore whoever acknowledges me before men, him I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:10:35 @ For I have come

tcent@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

tcent@Matthew:11:3 @ and said to him, »Are you the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?«

tcent@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he of whom it is written:

tcent@Matthew:11:12 @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.

tcent@Matthew:11:13 @ For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

tcent@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

tcent@Matthew:11:21 @ »Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

tcent@Matthew:11:22 @ But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

tcent@Matthew:11:24 @ But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.«

tcent@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

tcent@Matthew:11:29 @ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

tcent@Matthew:11:30 @ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.«

tcent@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

tcent@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:12 @ Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

tcent@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

tcent@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

tcent@Matthew:12:33 @ »Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

tcent@Matthew:12:34 @ You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

tcent@Matthew:12:35 @ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

tcent@Matthew:12:36 @ But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

tcent@Matthew:12:37 @ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.«

tcent@Matthew:12:39 @ But he answered them, »An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

tcent@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

tcent@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:50 @ For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.«

tcent@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

tcent@Matthew:13:16 @ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear.

tcent@Matthew:13:17 @ For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

tcent@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. And when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

tcent@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:38 @ the field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

tcent@Matthew:13:40 @ Therefore as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

tcent@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them, »Therefore every scribe who has been instructed for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.«

tcent@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

tcent@Matthew:14:4 @ because John had said to him, »It is not lawful for you to have her.«

tcent@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

tcent@Matthew:14:22 @ Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.

tcent@Matthew:14:24 @ but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.

tcent@Matthew:14:26 @ But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, »It is a ghost!« And they cried out for fear.

tcent@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.«

tcent@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, »And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

tcent@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

tcent@Matthew:15:6 @ he is not to honor his father with it. Thus you have made the word of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.

tcent@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornications, theft, false witness, slander.

tcent@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, »Send her away, for she is crying out after us.«

tcent@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and knelt before him, saying, »Lord, help me!«

tcent@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, »O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.« And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

tcent@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered them, »When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.’

tcent@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

tcent@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.« So he left them and departed.

tcent@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

tcent@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, »Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.«

tcent@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

tcent@Matthew:16:26 @ What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

tcent@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each man according to what he has done.

tcent@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.«

tcent@Matthew:17:2 @ And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

tcent@Matthew:17:4 @ And Peter said to Jesus, »Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernacles—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«

tcent@Matthew:17:14 @ And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

tcent@Matthew:17:15 @ »Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

tcent@Matthew:17:20 @ So he said to them, »Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.«

tcent@Matthew:17:27 @ Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you open its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for me and you.«

tcent@Matthew:18:4 @ Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:18:6 @ »But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

tcent@Matthew:18:7 @ Woe to the world because of temptations to sin! For temptations must come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes!

tcent@Matthew:18:8 @ And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

tcent@Matthew:18:9 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

tcent@Matthew:18:10 @ »See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:18:19 @ Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:18:20 @ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.«

tcent@Matthew:18:21 @ Then Peter came to him and said, »Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?«

tcent@Matthew:18:23 @ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

tcent@Matthew:18:26 @ So the servant fell on his knees before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

tcent@Matthew:18:27 @ The master of that servant took pity on him, released him, and forgave him the debt.

tcent@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

tcent@Matthew:18:35 @ So also my heavenly Father will do to each of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.«

tcent@Matthew:19:3 @ Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, »Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?«

tcent@Matthew:19:5 @ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

tcent@Matthew:19:6 @ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.«

tcent@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.«

tcent@Matthew:19:12 @ For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.«

tcent@Matthew:19:14 @ But Jesus said, »Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.«

tcent@Matthew:19:22 @ But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

tcent@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples, »Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:19:24 @ Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.«

tcent@Matthew:19:29 @ And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

tcent@Matthew:20:1 @ »For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

tcent@Matthew:20:2 @ Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

tcent@Matthew:20:13 @ But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

tcent@Matthew:20:15 @ Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

tcent@Matthew:20:23 @ He said to them, »You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.«

tcent@John:5:38 @ And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

tcent@John:5:46 @ If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

tcent@John:6:2 @ And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

tcent@John:6:6 @ But this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

tcent@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, »Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each one of them to have a little.«

tcent@John:6:15 @ Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

tcent@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal.«

tcent@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, »What sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do?

tcent@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.«

tcent@John:6:38 @ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

tcent@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.«

tcent@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.«

tcent@John:6:55 @ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

tcent@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever.«

tcent@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?

tcent@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe.« For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

tcent@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who was to betray him, though one of the twelve.

tcent@John:7:4 @ For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.«

tcent@John:7:5 @ For even his brothers did not believe in him.

tcent@John:7:8 @ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.«

tcent@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, »Where is he?«

tcent@John:7:13 @ However, no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

tcent@John:7:22 @ Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

tcent@John:7:29 @ But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me.«

tcent@John:7:39 @ Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

tcent@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

tcent@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

tcent@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, »Even if I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

tcent@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

tcent@John:8:24 @ Therefore I told to you that you would die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.«

tcent@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.«

tcent@John:8:35 @ And a slave does not continue in the house forever, but a son continues forever.

tcent@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father.« They said to him, »We were not born of fornication; we have one Father – God.«

tcent@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, »If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

tcent@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

tcent@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.«

tcent@John:9:8 @ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, »Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?«

tcent@John:9:13 @ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

tcent@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, »This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.« But others said, »How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?« And there was a division among them.

tcent@John:9:21 @ but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.«

tcent@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

tcent@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, »He is of age; ask him.«

tcent@John:9:24 @ So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, »Give God the glory; we know that this man is a sinner.«

tcent@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where he comes from.«

tcent@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, »For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.«

tcent@John:10:4 @ When he has brought out all his own, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

tcent@John:10:5 @ A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.«

tcent@John:10:8 @ All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

tcent@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

tcent@John:10:13 @ He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.

tcent@John:10:15 @ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

tcent@John:10:17 @ For this reason my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

tcent@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, »I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?«

tcent@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, »For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.«

tcent@John:10:41 @ And many came to him and they said, »John performed no sign, but all that John said about this man was true.«

tcent@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it, he said, »This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.«

tcent@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.«

tcent@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother.

tcent@John:11:28 @ And when she had said this, she went her way and called Mary her sister, saying, »The Teacher is here and is calling for you.«

tcent@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

tcent@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, »Take away the stone.« Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, »Lord, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days.«

tcent@John:11:42 @ I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing by, that they may believe that you sent me.«

tcent@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

tcent@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, »What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

tcent@John:11:50 @ You do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.«

tcent@John:11:51 @ He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

tcent@John:11:52 @ and not for that nation only, but also that he would gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

tcent@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he stayed with his disciples.

tcent@John:11:55 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

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

tcent@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

tcent@John:12:5 @ »Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?«

tcent@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and as he had the money box, he used to take what was put into it.

tcent@John:12:7 @ Jesus said, »Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of my burial.

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

tcent@John:12:23 @ Jesus answered them, »The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

tcent@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

tcent@John:12:27 @ »Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I came to this hour.

tcent@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered, »This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

tcent@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, »We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?«

tcent@John:12:37 @ Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him;

tcent@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

tcent@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

tcent@John:12:47 @ If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

tcent@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what to say and what to speak.

tcent@John:12:50 @ And I know that his command is eternal life. Whatever I say, therefore, I say just as the Father has told me.«

tcent@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

tcent@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, »You are not all clean.«

tcent@John:13:13 @ You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.

tcent@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

tcent@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does take place, you may believe that I am he.

tcent@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, »Buy what we need for the feast«; or, that he should give something to the poor.

tcent@John:13:35 @ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.«

tcent@John:13:37 @ Peter said to him, »Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.«

tcent@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered, »Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow, till you have denied me three times.

tcent@John:14:2 @ In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

tcent@John:14:3 @ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

tcent@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, »Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.«

tcent@John:14:11 @ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

tcent@John:14:16 @ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever –

tcent@John:14:17 @ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

tcent@John:14:28 @ You have heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for the Father is greater than I.

tcent@John:14:29 @ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

tcent@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.

tcent@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.

tcent@John:15:7 @ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

tcent@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

tcent@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

tcent@John:15:18 @ »If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.

tcent@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

tcent@John:15:21 @ But all this they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

tcent@John:15:22 @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

tcent@John:16:7 @ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

tcent@John:16:13 @ But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak; and he will tell you things to come.

tcent@John:16:14 @ He will glorify me, for he will take of what is mine and declare it to you.

tcent@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine. Therefore I said that he will take of what is mine and declare it to you.

tcent@John:16:21 @ When a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

tcent@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in my name. And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

tcent@John:16:27 @ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

tcent@John:16:30 @ Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.«

tcent@John:16:32 @ Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, when you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

tcent@John:17:5 @ And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.

tcent@John:17:8 @ For I have given them the words which you have given me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

tcent@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

tcent@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, »Whom do you seek?«

tcent@John:18:13 @ And they led him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

tcent@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

tcent@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter stood warming himself. Therefore they said to him, »You are not also one of his disciples, are you?« He denied it and said, »I am not.«

tcent@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, »You are a king then?« Jesus answered, »You say what I am—a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.«

tcent@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, »Crucify him, crucify him!« Pilate said to them, »You take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.«

tcent@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, »You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.«

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

tcent@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

tcent@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

tcent@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

tcent@John:19:36 @ For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, »Not one of his bones shall be broken.«

tcent@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

tcent@John:20:3 @ Peter therefore went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.

tcent@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

tcent@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, »Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, »I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’«

tcent@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, »Peace be with you.«

tcent@John:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.«

tcent@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, »It is the Lord!« Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

tcent@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred yards off.

tcent@Acts:1:3 @ To these he also presented himself alive after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.

tcent@Acts:1:4 @ And while staying with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, »Which,« he said, »you heard of from me;

tcent@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

tcent@Acts:14:26 @ From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.

tcent@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore why do you test God by putting upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

tcent@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for his name.

tcent@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore it is my judgment that we should not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

tcent@Acts:15:20 @ but that we should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.

tcent@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted this man to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

tcent@Acts:16:4 @ As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:16:6 @ And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

tcent@Acts:16:16 @ It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination. She brought her owners much profit by fortune-telling.

tcent@Acts:16:18 @ She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, »I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!« And it came out at that very moment.

tcent@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities,

tcent@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, »Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!«

tcent@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.

tcent@Acts:16:34 @ Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with his whole household that he had believed in God.

tcent@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, »The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace.«

tcent@Acts:17:2 @ And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he reasoned with them from the scriptures,

tcent@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men from the market place, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; they attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

tcent@Acts:17:6 @ When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, shouting, »These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

tcent@Acts:17:11 @ Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

tcent@Acts:17:12 @ Therefore many of them believed, along with a number of prominent Greek women and men.

tcent@Acts:17:15 @ Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

tcent@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

tcent@Acts:17:18 @ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some said, »What would this idle babbler wish to say?« Others, »He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,«—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

tcent@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he declined;

tcent@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:19:8 @ And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and persuading about the kingdom of God.

tcent@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

tcent@Acts:19:10 @ This took place for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

tcent@Acts:19:22 @ And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

tcent@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

tcent@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the people.

tcent@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice shouted, »Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!«

tcent@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

tcent@Acts:19:40 @ As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.«

tcent@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he set out for Macedonia.

tcent@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

tcent@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for a day.

tcent@Acts:21:10 @ As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

tcent@Acts:24:20 @ Or else let these men themselves tell what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the Council,

tcent@Acts:24:21 @ except this one thing which I shouted out while standing among them, ‘With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.’«

tcent@Acts:24:23 @ Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody but have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to his needs.

tcent@Acts:24:24 @ But some days later Felix came with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Acts:24:25 @ But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, »Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you.«

tcent@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time, he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

tcent@Acts:25:3 @ as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.

tcent@Acts:25:5 @ »Therefore,« he said, »let the men of authority among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him.«

tcent@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, »Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?«

tcent@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, »I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know.

tcent@Acts:25:14 @ While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, »There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix;

tcent@Acts:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for sentence against him.

tcent@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

tcent@Acts:25:17 @ When therefore they came together here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.

tcent@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I could send him to Caesar.

tcent@Acts:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

tcent@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.«

tcent@Acts:26:1 @ Agrippa said to Paul, »You have permission to speak for yourself.« Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:

tcent@Acts:26:2 @ »I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews,

tcent@Acts:26:3 @ because you are especially familiar with all customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

tcent@Acts:26:5 @ They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

tcent@Acts:26:6 @ And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

tcent@Acts:26:7 @ the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

tcent@Acts:26:11 @ And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

tcent@Acts:26:14 @ And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

tcent@Acts:26:16 @ But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness to the things which you have seen of me, and also to the things in which I will appear to you;

tcent@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

tcent@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

tcent@Acts:26:21 @ For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

tcent@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

tcent@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, »Whether in a short or a long time, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.«

tcent@Acts:27:1 @ When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

tcent@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and allowed him to go to his friends and be cared for.

tcent@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

tcent@Acts:27:7 @ When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Salmone.

tcent@Acts:27:14 @ But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called the northeaster;

tcent@Acts:27:20 @ When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was raging on us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.

tcent@Acts:27:22 @ Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

tcent@Acts:27:23 @ For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,

tcent@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

tcent@Acts:27:25 @ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen exactly as I have been told.

tcent@Acts:27:29 @ Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

tcent@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take some food; it will give you strength, since not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.«

tcent@Acts:27:40 @ So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders; then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.

tcent@Acts:28:2 @ The natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

tcent@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

tcent@Acts:28:12 @ After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

tcent@Acts:28:14 @ There we found some brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.

tcent@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren, when they heard of us, came from there as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

tcent@Acts:28:18 @ And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

tcent@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.«

tcent@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.«

tcent@Acts:28:23 @ When they had appointed a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers. And he explained the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets.

tcent@Acts:28:28 @ Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.«

tcent@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God

tcent@Romans:1:2 @ which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

tcent@Romans:1:5 @ Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

tcent@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

tcent@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

tcent@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—

tcent@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

tcent@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, »The just shall live by faith.«

tcent@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth,

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his eternal power and deity, has been clearly seen, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

tcent@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

tcent@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

tcent@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,

tcent@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural.

tcent@Romans:1:27 @ And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

tcent@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge another; for in whatever point you pass judgment on him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

tcent@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

tcent@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hardness and your impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

tcent@Romans:2:6 @ For he »will render to each one according to his works«:

tcent@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

tcent@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

tcent@Romans:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

tcent@Romans:2:10 @ but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

tcent@Romans:2:11 @ For God shows no partiality.

tcent@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

tcent@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, »The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.«

tcent@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something outward and in the flesh.

tcent@Romans:3:6 @ Certainly not! For then how could God judge the world?

tcent@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? Certainly not; for we have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore no flesh will be justified in his sight by works of the law, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference,

tcent@Romans:3:23 @ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

tcent@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

tcent@Romans:3:28 @ For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

tcent@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

tcent@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

tcent@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:12 @ And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

tcent@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings wrath, for where there is no law there is no transgression.

tcent@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

tcent@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, »it was reckoned to him,« were written not for his sake alone,

tcent@Romans:4:24 @ but for us also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

tcent@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered to death for our sins and was raised for our justification.

tcent@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@Romans:5:6 @ When we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

tcent@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.

tcent@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

tcent@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

tcent@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

tcent@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

tcent@Romans:5:13 @ For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted when there is no law.

tcent@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

tcent@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification.

tcent@Romans:5:17 @ For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

tcent@Romans:5:18 @ So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

tcent@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

tcent@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

tcent@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

tcent@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

tcent@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

tcent@Romans:6:10 @ The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

tcent@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions.

tcent@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not have dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

tcent@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for holiness.

tcent@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

tcent@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

tcent@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of her husband.

tcent@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

tcent@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«

tcent@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, finding opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetous desire. For apart from the law sin lies dead.

tcent@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

tcent@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand what I do. For I do not do what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

tcent@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

tcent@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good I want to do; but the evil I do not want to do is what I do.

tcent@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

tcent@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

tcent@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weakened through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin: he condemned sin in the flesh,

tcent@Romans:8:5 @ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

tcent@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so;

tcent@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

tcent@Romans:8:14 @ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

tcent@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship by whom we cry out, »Abba, Father.«

tcent@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

tcent@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

tcent@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

tcent@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

tcent@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

tcent@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

tcent@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

tcent@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

tcent@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

tcent@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

tcent@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

tcent@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

tcent@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

tcent@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:9:5 @ Of them are the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, forever blessed. Amen.

tcent@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel,

tcent@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said: »About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.«

tcent@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses,

tcent@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, »I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.«

tcent@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore he has mercy on whom he wills, and he hardens the heart of whom he wills.

tcent@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, »Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?«

tcent@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, »Why have you made me like this?«

tcent@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

tcent@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

tcent@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

tcent@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth with speed and finality.«

tcent@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

tcent@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not according to knowledge.

tcent@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

tcent@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

tcent@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, »The man who does those things shall live by them.«

tcent@Romans:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his mouth and so is saved.

tcent@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him.

tcent@Romans:10:13 @ For, »everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.«

tcent@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, »Lord, who has believed our message?«

tcent@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for

tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?—

tcent@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? »I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.«

tcent@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean!

tcent@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

tcent@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

tcent@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!

tcent@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

tcent@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

tcent@Romans:11:32 @ For God has bound all men over to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

tcent@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

tcent@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

tcent@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

tcent@Romans:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function,

tcent@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.

tcent@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, »Vengeance is mine, I will repay,« says the Lord.

tcent@Romans:12:20 @ No, »if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.«

tcent@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

tcent@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

tcent@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will have praise from him.

tcent@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is God’s servant, an avenger to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.

tcent@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

tcent@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's ministers, attending to this very thing.

tcent@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

tcent@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

tcent@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the hour, that now it is full time for you to wake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

tcent@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

tcent@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, accept him, but not for disputes over opinions.

tcent@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not, and let not him who does not eat pass judgment on him who eats; for God has accepted him.

tcent@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.

tcent@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

tcent@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

tcent@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

tcent@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

tcent@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written:

tcent@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brother’s way.

tcent@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

tcent@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

tcent@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;

tcent@Romans:14:19 @ Let us therefore pursue what makes for peace and for mutual edification.

tcent@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

tcent@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself for what he approves.

tcent@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

tcent@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

tcent@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, »The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.«

tcent@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

tcent@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.

tcent@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised to show God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

tcent@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

tcent@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed—

tcent@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any place for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

tcent@Romans:15:24 @ I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through, and to be helped by you on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

tcent@Romans:15:25 @ Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.

tcent@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

tcent@Romans:15:27 @ They were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

tcent@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them this fruit, I shall go on by way of you to Spain.

tcent@Romans:15:30 @ Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

tcent@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

tcent@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she has need from you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

tcent@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

tcent@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert of Asia for Christ.

tcent@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.

tcent@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

tcent@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple.

tcent@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

tcent@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages

tcent@Romans:16:27 @ to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For I have been informed by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you, my brethren.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

tcent@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh may boast before God.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, »Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.«

tcent@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood it; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit which is in him? Even so no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, even now you are not ready,

tcent@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and are you not walking like mere men?

tcent@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, »I am of Paul,« and another, »I am of Apollos,« are you not mere men?

tcent@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can any one lay than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,

tcent@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

tcent@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in favor of one against the other.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who regards you as different? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

tcent@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, like men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and have already passed judgment on the one who has committed this, as if I were present.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When any one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:13 @ »Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food«—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, »The two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@1Corinthians:6:20 @ you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

tcent@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was free when called is Christ's slave.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it. For the form of this world is passing away.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is good and to secure undivided devotion to the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Therefore concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many »gods« and many »lords«),

tcent@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we exist.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

tcent@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to fall.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the Law of Moses, »You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.« Is it for oxen that God is concerned?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or is he speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion. For woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

tcent@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if it is not of my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Therefore I do not run aimlessly. I do not box as a man beating the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

tcent@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are examples for us, not to desire evil things as they did.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for, »The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising questions of conscience.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, »This has been offered in sacrifice,« then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who informed you and for conscience' sake—

tcent@1Corinthians:10:29 @ the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, let her cover her head.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

tcent@1Corinthians:11:9 @ neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman was made from man, so also man is born of woman. And all things are from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

tcent@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, »This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.«

tcent@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, »Jesus be cursed,« and no one can say, »Jesus is Lord,« except by the Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, »Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, »Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:25 @ so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

tcent@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fully—even as I have been fully known.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their edification and encouragement and comfort.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:8 @ And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So it is with you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is intelligible, how will anyone know what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the one who is speaking, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So it is with you; since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in building up the church.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; but prophecy is for believers, not for unbelievers.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What is the outcome then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, or a teaching, or a revelation, or a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged;

tcent@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as even the law says.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by a man came death, by a man came also the resurrection of the dead.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:27 @ »For God has put all things in subjection under his feet.« But when it says, »All things are put in subjection under him,« it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are people baptized for them?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:39 @ For not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you must also do.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:4 @ If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:5 @ But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;

tcent@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you with nothing to fear, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one despise him. Send him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Give recognition to such men.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,

tcent@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings that we suffer.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You also must help us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with holiness and godly sincerity, not in worldly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and still more toward you.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; and I hope you will understand fully,

tcent@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it has always been Yes.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are Yes. And so through him we speak our Amen to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith; but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:8 @ I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was fading away came with glory, much more is the glory of that which lasts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, »Let light shine out of darkness,« who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

tcent@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, »I believed and therefore I spoke,« we also believe and therefore speak,

tcent@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

tcent@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are unseen are eternal.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore we are always of good courage; and we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to you, but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you may have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a fleshly point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a fleshly point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:20 @ We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:7 @ in truthful speech, and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;

tcent@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

tcent@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

tcent@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. With all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—conflicts on the outside and fears within.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

tcent@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—for I see that my letter hurt you, though only for a little while—

tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold what this very thing, godly sorrow, has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, they gave of their own free will,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:4 @ urgently pleading with us for the privilege of sharing in the relief of the saints.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in everything—in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us—see that you excel in this work of grace also.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

tcent@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may have an abundance for every good work.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will multiply the harvest of your righteousness.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Because of the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in your confession of the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

tcent@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

tcent@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war as the flesh does.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, »His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is weak, and his speech of no account.«

tcent@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you; we were the first to come even as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast of work already done in another man's territory.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, being so wise yourselves!

tcent@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you put up with anyone if he makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or exalts himself, or strikes you in the face.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I should boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, »My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.« Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:10 @ That is why, for Christ's sake, I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what respect were you inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

tcent@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you what I wish you to be, and you may not find me what you wish me to be; I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lewdness which they have practiced.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your perfection.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

tcent@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

tcent@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so I say again now, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

tcent@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

tcent@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it;

tcent@Galatians:1:14 @ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

tcent@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

tcent@Galatians:1:20 @ (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I do not lie.)

tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

tcent@Galatians:2:5 @ We did not yield to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

tcent@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

tcent@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing the party of the circumcision.

tcent@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, »If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

tcent@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

tcent@Galatians:2:19 @ For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

tcent@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

tcent@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing.«

tcent@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

tcent@Galatians:3:7 @ Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

tcent@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, »In you will all the nations be blessed.«

tcent@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to do them.«

tcent@Galatians:3:11 @ Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, »The righteous man shall live by faith.«

tcent@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree«—

tcent@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness would indeed have come by the law.

tcent@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

tcent@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

tcent@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

tcent@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

tcent@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

tcent@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

tcent@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

tcent@Galatians:4:17 @ They seek you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, so that you may seek them.

tcent@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

tcent@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

tcent@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave and one by the free woman.

tcent@Galatians:4:24 @ This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

tcent@Galatians:4:25 @ Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

tcent@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written,

tcent@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the scripture say? »Cast out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.«

tcent@Galatians:5:1 @ It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

tcent@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.

tcent@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

tcent@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

tcent@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

tcent@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you would.

tcent@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

tcent@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

tcent@Galatians:6:5 @ For each one will bear his own load.

tcent@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

tcent@Galatians:6:8 @ For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

tcent@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

tcent@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:6:13 @ For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

tcent@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.

tcent@Galatians:6:17 @ From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:1:4 @ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him. In love

tcent@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

tcent@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fullness of the times, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth. In him

tcent@Ephesians:1:12 @ in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of his glory.

tcent@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

tcent@Ephesians:1:22 @ And he put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things for the church,

tcent@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God—

tcent@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we would walk in them.

tcent@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called »Uncircumcision« by the so-called »Circumcision,« which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

tcent@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,

tcent@Ephesians:2:18 @ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

tcent@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

tcent@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

tcent@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make plain to everyone the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

tcent@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

tcent@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

tcent@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

tcent@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

tcent@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it says,

tcent@Ephesians:4:12 @ to equip the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ;

tcent@Ephesians:4:19 @ and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, greedy for the practice of every kind of impurity.

tcent@Ephesians:4:22 @ You were taught, with regard to your former manner of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful lusts;

tcent@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, each one of you must speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

tcent@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

tcent@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

tcent@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

tcent@Ephesians:5:2 @ and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

tcent@Ephesians:5:5 @ For of this you can be sure, that no immoral, impure, or covetous person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

tcent@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not be partners with them;

tcent@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

tcent@Ephesians:5:9 @ (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

tcent@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

tcent@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

tcent@Ephesians:5:14 @ For this reason it is said,

tcent@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

tcent@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

tcent@Ephesians:5:20 @ always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is himself the Savior.

tcent@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

tcent@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

tcent@Ephesians:5:31 @ »For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

tcent@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

tcent@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

tcent@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

tcent@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and petition. And with this in view, keep alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:6:19 @ and also pray for me, that in the opening of my mouth, utterance may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

tcent@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

tcent@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

tcent@Philippians:1:4 @ always making my prayer with joy in every prayer of mine for you all,

tcent@Philippians:1:6 @ For I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:1:7 @ For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

tcent@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

tcent@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;

tcent@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philippians:1:19 @ for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

tcent@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

tcent@Philippians:1:22 @ But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I do not know.

tcent@Philippians:1:23 @ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;

tcent@Philippians:1:24 @ but to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

tcent@Philippians:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

tcent@Philippians:1:27 @ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

tcent@Philippians:1:28 @ in no way frightened by your opponents. This is a sign of destruction to them, but of salvation for you – and that too, from God.

tcent@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,

tcent@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

tcent@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

tcent@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

tcent@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

tcent@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

tcent@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

tcent@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one else like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

tcent@Philippians:2:21 @ For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

tcent@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was ill.

tcent@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may have less anxiety.

tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

tcent@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

tcent@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil workers, watch out for those mutilators of the body.

tcent@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

tcent@Philippians:3:4 @ though I myself have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:8 @ More than that, I count everything to be loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

tcent@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

tcent@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

tcent@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:20 @ But our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

tcent@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

tcent@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you had no opportunity.

tcent@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

tcent@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessalonica you sent me a gift once and again for my needs.

tcent@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

tcent@Philippians:4:20 @ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Colossians:1:3 @ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

tcent@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

tcent@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel

tcent@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason also, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

tcent@Colossians:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,

tcent@Colossians:1:13 @ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

tcent@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Colossians:1:16 @ For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

tcent@Colossians:1:17 @ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

tcent@Colossians:1:19 @ For all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in him

tcent@Colossians:1:22 @ yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, in order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

tcent@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share for the sake of his body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

tcent@Colossians:1:25 @ Of this church I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

tcent@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

tcent@Colossians:1:29 @ For this end I labor, striving with all his energy, which so mightily works within me.

tcent@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh,

tcent@Colossians:2:5 @ For even though I am absent in flesh, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

tcent@Colossians:2:6 @ Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

tcent@Colossians:2:9 @ For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

tcent@Colossians:2:13 @ When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our sins,

tcent@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one judge you in questions of food or drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.

tcent@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you for the prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

tcent@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

tcent@Colossians:3:5 @ Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.

tcent@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord forgave you, so you also must forgive.

tcent@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

tcent@Colossians:3:25 @ For he who does wrong will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

tcent@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray for us as well, that God may open a door to us for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains,

tcent@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

tcent@Colossians:4:11 @ and also Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved to be a comfort to me.

tcent@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of your number, a servant of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

tcent@Colossians:4:13 @ I testify for him that he has worked hard for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we have no need to say anything.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity, nor is it made with deceit;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you know, we never used flattery nor a pretext for greed—God is witness—

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Having so fond an affection for you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, as a father with his own children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were taken away from you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one would be unsettled by these afflictions. You yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you in return for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that is, that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each one of you know how to take his own spouse for himself in holiness and honor,

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Now concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Abstain from every form of evil.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of God's righteous judgment, so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and may fulfill every good resolve and work of faith by his power,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it did also with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: »If anyone will not work, he shall not eat.«

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, not doing any work at all, but acting like busybodies.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

tcent@1Timothy:1:6 @ For some men have wandered away from these things and turned aside to fruitless discussion,

tcent@1Timothy:1:9 @ realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

tcent@1Timothy:1:13 @ Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor, I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

tcent@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord was overflowing for me, with the faith and love that are found in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:1:15 @ It is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost.

tcent@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

tcent@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,

tcent@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.

tcent@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

tcent@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all—the testimony given at the proper time.

tcent@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

tcent@1Timothy:2:8 @ Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or quarreling.

tcent@1Timothy:2:10 @ but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess godliness.

tcent@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

tcent@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

tcent@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

tcent@1Timothy:4:5 @ for it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

tcent@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily training is of some value, but godliness is of value in all things, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

tcent@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

tcent@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in them, for if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

tcent@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

tcent@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.

tcent@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

tcent@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

tcent@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to marry,

tcent@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their homes, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach.

tcent@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

tcent@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the scripture says, »You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,« and, »The laborer deserves his wages.«

tcent@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

tcent@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are obvious, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins appear later.

tcent@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of it.

tcent@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

tcent@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

tcent@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that life which is life indeed.

tcent@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you as well.

tcent@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

tcent@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love and self-discipline.

tcent@2Timothy:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to testify of our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

tcent@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

tcent@2Timothy:1:12 @ For this reason I also suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

tcent@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me—

tcent@2Timothy:2:7 @ Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

tcent@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I am suffering even to the point of wearing chains like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.

tcent@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

tcent@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

tcent@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.

tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

tcent@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

tcent@2Timothy:3:3 @ unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

tcent@2Timothy:3:5 @ holding a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.

tcent@2Timothy:3:6 @ For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, weighed down with sins and swayed by various impulses,

tcent@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

tcent@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, knowing from whom you learned it,

tcent@2Timothy:3:15 @ and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:3:16 @ All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness;

tcent@2Timothy:3:17 @ so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

tcent@2Timothy:4:3 @ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires,

tcent@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

tcent@2Timothy:4:8 @ In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

tcent@2Timothy:4:10 @ for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

tcent@2Timothy:4:11 @ Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.

tcent@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him for his deeds.

tcent@2Timothy:4:15 @ Be on guard against him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.

tcent@Titus:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth which leads to godliness,

tcent@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

tcent@Titus:1:7 @ For the overseer must be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not fond of sordid gain,

tcent@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.

tcent@Titus:1:11 @ They must be silenced, because they are upsetting whole families by teaching things they ought not to teach for the sake of sordid gain.

tcent@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith

tcent@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable and disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

tcent@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine.

tcent@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

tcent@Titus:2:13 @ looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

tcent@Titus:2:14 @ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, zealous for good deeds.

tcent@Titus:3:1 @ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,

tcent@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another.

tcent@Titus:3:8 @ This is a trustworthy saying; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for men.

tcent@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and quarrels about the Law, for they are unprofitable and useless.

tcent@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

tcent@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

tcent@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I am bold enough in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

tcent@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I rather appeal to yousince I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus

tcent@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.

tcent@Philemon:1:13 @ I would have been glad to keep him with me, so that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;

tcent@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,

tcent@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope through your prayers to be granted to you.

tcent@Hebrews:1:3 @ He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his being, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

tcent@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did God ever say, And again,

tcent@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to serve for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

tcent@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay more careful attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

tcent@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken by angels was valid, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

tcent@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it is not to angels that he subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

tcent@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

tcent@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

tcent@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

tcent@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

tcent@Hebrews:2:16 @ For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned, but with the descendants of Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

tcent@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

tcent@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

tcent@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have come to share in Christ if we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

tcent@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

tcent@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any one of you be judged to have come short of it.

tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

tcent@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: »And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«

tcent@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

tcent@Hebrews:4:7 @ God again set a certain day, »Today,« saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

tcent@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another day.

tcent@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God;

tcent@Hebrews:4:10 @ for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.

tcent@Hebrews:4:11 @ Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience.

tcent@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

tcent@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

tcent@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:5:9 @ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

tcent@Hebrews:5:13 @ for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

tcent@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their sense trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

tcent@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

tcent@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

tcent@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which drinks the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

tcent@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

tcent@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

tcent@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men swear by one greater than themselves, and in all their disputes the oath is final for confirmation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

tcent@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

tcent@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not one designated according to the order of Aaron?

tcent@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.

tcent@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

tcent@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

tcent@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is declared of him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

tcent@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

tcent@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but he became a priest with an oath through the One who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

tcent@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he holds his priesthood forever, because he continues for ever.

tcent@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore he is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

tcent@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

tcent@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need, like those high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

tcent@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

tcent@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; and so it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

tcent@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was instructed by God, saying, »See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.«

tcent@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

tcent@Hebrews:8:8 @ For he finds fault with them when he says:

tcent@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

tcent@Hebrews:9:2 @ For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

tcent@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tabernacle, performing their ritual duties.

tcent@Hebrews:9:7 @ But into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

tcent@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is symbolic for the present time. According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

tcent@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they relate only to food and drink and various washings – regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of reformation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the holy place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

tcent@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

tcent@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

tcent@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

tcent@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

tcent@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

tcent@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

tcent@Hebrews:9:26 @ For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

tcent@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

tcent@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

tcent@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

tcent@Hebrews:10:10 @ And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

tcent@Hebrews:10:12 @ But when he had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

tcent@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time until his enemies be made a stool for his feet.

tcent@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

tcent@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

tcent@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

tcent@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

tcent@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

tcent@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

tcent@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the Day drawing near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

tcent@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who said, And again,

tcent@Hebrews:10:32 @ But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

tcent@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

tcent@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

tcent@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

tcent@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

tcent@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the men of old received divine approval.

tcent@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

tcent@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in godly fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

tcent@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he lived in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise;

tcent@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he was looking forward to the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

tcent@Hebrews:11:14 @ For people who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

tcent@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

tcent@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

tcent@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

tcent@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

tcent@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

tcent@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions,

tcent@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight.

tcent@Hebrews:11:40 @ because God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

tcent@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

tcent@Hebrews:12:2 @ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

tcent@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? –

tcent@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

tcent@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

tcent@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

tcent@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore lift your feeble hands and strengthen your weak knees,

tcent@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

tcent@Hebrews:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

tcent@Hebrews:12:16 @ that no one be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

tcent@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

tcent@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

tcent@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, »If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less shall we escape, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?

tcent@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe,

tcent@Hebrews:12:29 @ for our God is a consuming fire.

tcent@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

tcent@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

tcent@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, »I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you.«

tcent@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

tcent@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

tcent@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

tcent@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city which is to come.

tcent@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

tcent@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

tcent@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

tcent@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Hebrews:13:22 @ I urge you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

tcent@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

tcent@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

tcent@James:1:7 @ For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

tcent@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls and its beauty is destroyed. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

tcent@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

tcent@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

tcent@James:1:15 @ Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death.

tcent@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

tcent@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

tcent@James:1:21 @ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

tcent@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

tcent@James:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

tcent@James:2:2 @ For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothes,

tcent@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point has become guilty of all of it.

tcent@James:2:11 @ For he who said, »Do not commit adultery,« said also, »Do not murder.« If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

tcent@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

tcent@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »Go in peace, be warmed and filled,« and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

tcent@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

tcent@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

tcent@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

tcent@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

tcent@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

tcent@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

tcent@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

tcent@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says,

tcent@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

tcent@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

tcent@James:4:14 @ Yet you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

tcent@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rains.

tcent@James:5:8 @ You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

tcent@James:5:14 @ Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

tcent@James:5:15 @ and the prayer offered in faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

tcent@James:5:16 @ Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

tcent@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

tcent@1Peter:1:2 @ who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling with his blood: may grace and peace be yours in abundance.

tcent@1Peter:1:4 @ to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, kept in heaven for you,

tcent@1Peter:1:5 @ who are protected by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

tcent@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials,

tcent@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober in spirit, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:16 @ because it is written, »You shall be holy, for I am holy.«

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:1:22 @ Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

tcent@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

tcent@1Peter:1:24 @ For,

tcent@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

tcent@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

tcent@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

tcent@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture:

tcent@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, this is precious, but for those who do not believe,

tcent@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

tcent@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the supreme authority,

tcent@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

tcent@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.

tcent@1Peter:2:19 @ For a man is approved if, mindful of God, he bears up under pain while suffering unjustly.

tcent@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you patiently endure? But if when you do right and suffer for it you patiently endure, you have favor with God.

tcent@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

tcent@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

tcent@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, and were submissive to their own husbands;

tcent@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead; for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

tcent@1Peter:3:10 @ For,

tcent@1Peter:3:13 @ Who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

tcent@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,

tcent@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect;

tcent@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.

tcent@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

tcent@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

tcent@1Peter:3:21 @ And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

tcent@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

tcent@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they might live in the spirit according to the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is near; therefore be clear minded and sober for your prayers.

tcent@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

tcent@1Peter:4:17 @ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

tcent@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore, let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

tcent@1Peter:5:2 @ shepherd the flock of God that is under your care, serving as overseers—not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

tcent@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

tcent@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

tcent@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

tcent@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge,

tcent@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

tcent@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall;

tcent@2Peter:1:11 @ so there will be an entrance richly provided for you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.

tcent@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

tcent@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@2Peter:1:21 @ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

tcent@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

tcent@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

tcent@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

tcent@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you.

tcent@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

tcent@2Peter:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his own transgression by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

tcent@2Peter:2:17 @ These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm; for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.

tcent@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking out arrogant words of vanity, they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error.

tcent@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

tcent@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

tcent@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

tcent@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

tcent@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, »Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.«

tcent@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by means of water,

tcent@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

tcent@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

tcent@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

tcent@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

tcent@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, spotless and blameless.

tcent@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

tcent@1John:2:2 @ And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

tcent@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

tcent@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

tcent@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

tcent@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that it might be plain that none of them were of us.

tcent@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

tcent@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

tcent@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

tcent@1John:3:9 @ No one who is of God practices sin, for God’s seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

tcent@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

tcent@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

tcent@1John:3:19 @ By this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him

tcent@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

tcent@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

tcent@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world and therefore speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

tcent@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

tcent@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

tcent@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

tcent@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us.

tcent@1John:4:17 @ In this love is perfected among us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

tcent@1John:4:20 @ If anyone says, »I love God,« and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

tcent@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

tcent@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

tcent@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which he has borne witness of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

tcent@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

tcent@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

tcent@2John:1:8 @ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.

tcent@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares in his wicked work.

tcent@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, and how you are walking in truth.

tcent@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

tcent@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

tcent@3John:1:7 @ For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

tcent@3John:1:8 @ Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

tcent@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

tcent@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was very eager to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

tcent@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in secretly, those who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

tcent@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that the Lord who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

tcent@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, he has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

tcent@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into the Balaam's error, and perished in Korah's rebellion.

tcent@Jude:1:12 @ These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

tcent@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

tcent@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for their own advantage.

tcent@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

tcent@Jude:1:24 @ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with great joy,

tcent@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near.

tcent@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,

tcent@Revelation:1:6 @ and has made us a kingdom and priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:18 @ and the Living One; I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore! And I have the keys of death and Hades.

tcent@Revelation:1:19 @ Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.

tcent@Revelation:2:3 @ I know you have persevered and have endured for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

tcent@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful even until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

tcent@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to practice sexual immorality.

tcent@Revelation:2:16 @ Repent therefore, or else I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

tcent@Revelation:3:2 @ Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.

tcent@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

tcent@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

tcent@Revelation:3:5 @ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

tcent@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

tcent@Revelation:3:9 @ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—look, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and know that I have loved you.

tcent@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments to clothe you, and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

tcent@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne come flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder. And before the throne were seven lamps of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;

tcent@Revelation:4:6 @ and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.

tcent@Revelation:4:9 @ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

tcent@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

tcent@Revelation:5:8 @ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

tcent@Revelation:6:6 @ And I heard what sounded like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, »A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine!«

tcent@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, »O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?«

tcent@Revelation:6:17 @ for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?«

tcent@Revelation:7:3 @ saying, »Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.«

tcent@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

tcent@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

tcent@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

tcent@Revelation:8:1 @ When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

tcent@Revelation:8:2 @ And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

tcent@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. And he was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

tcent@Revelation:8:4 @ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.

tcent@Revelation:9:4 @ They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

tcent@Revelation:9:5 @ They were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.

tcent@Revelation:9:7 @ In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; and their faces were like human faces,

tcent@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to hurt men for five months lies in their tails.

tcent@Revelation:9:13 @ Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

tcent@Revelation:9:15 @ And the four angels, who had been held ready for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

tcent@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm.

tcent@Revelation:11:2 @ But leave out the court outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the nations; and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:11:3 @ And I will grant power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.«

tcent@Revelation:11:4 @ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

tcent@Revelation:11:9 @ For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.

tcent@Revelation:11:16 @ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshipped God,

tcent@Revelation:12:4 @ And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child when it was born.

tcent@Revelation:12:6 @ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

tcent@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

tcent@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

tcent@Revelation:13:5 @ And the beast was given a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:13:13 @ He performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men.

tcent@Revelation:13:16 @ And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a mark on their right hand or the forehead,

tcent@Revelation:13:18 @ This calls for wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

tcent@Revelation:14:1 @ Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

tcent@Revelation:14:3 @ And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

tcent@Revelation:14:4 @ These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:14:9 @ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, »If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

tcent@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.«

tcent@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

tcent@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, »Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’« »Yes,« says the Spirit, »that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them.«

tcent@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, »Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.«

tcent@Revelation:14:20 @ And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.

tcent@Revelation:15:7 @ Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.

tcent@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

tcent@Revelation:16:14 @ for they are spirits of demons, performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

tcent@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

tcent@Revelation:16:21 @ Huge hailstones, about a hundred pounds each, fell from heaven upon men. And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

tcent@Revelation:17:2 @ with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.«

tcent@Revelation:17:5 @ And on her forehead was written a name of mystery,

tcent@Revelation:17:9 @ This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

tcent@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

tcent@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

tcent@Revelation:18:9 @ And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;

tcent@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, »You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.«

tcent@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he cried to all the birds that fly in midheaven, »Come, gather for the great supper of God,

tcent@Revelation:19:20 @ And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with sulfur.

tcent@Revelation:20:2 @ And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

tcent@Revelation:20:3 @ and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be released for a short time.

tcent@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was given. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony to Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast or his image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

tcent@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

tcent@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the seashore.

tcent@Revelation:20:10 @ And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

tcent@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

tcent@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

tcent@Revelation:21:1 @ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

tcent@Revelation:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

tcent@Revelation:21:4 @ he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.«

tcent@Revelation:21:5 @ And he who sits on the throne said, »Behold, I am making all things new.« And he said, »Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.«

tcent@Revelation:21:8 @ But as for the cowardly, the unbelieving, the immoral, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.«

tcent@Revelation:21:17 @ He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, which is also an angel's.

tcent@Revelation:21:22 @ And I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

tcent@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:21:25 @ In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be shut;

tcent@Revelation:22:2 @ through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

tcent@Revelation:22:4 @ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

tcent@Revelation:22:5 @ And there will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light; and they will reign for ever and ever.

tcent@Revelation:22:10 @ And he said to me, »Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

tcent@Revelation:22:16 @ »I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.«
