riversident@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud was the father of Eleazar; Eleazar was the father of Matthan; Matthan was the father of Jacob;

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus was in this way: His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

riversident@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

riversident@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to his home.

riversident@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not live with her as a husband until she had borne a son. He called his name Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:2:1 @ AFTER Jesus had been born in Bethlehem, in Judaea, in the days of Herod the King, wise men from the East arrived at Jerusalem,

riversident@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:8 @ and as he sent them to Bethlehem he said, "Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you have found him bring me word, so that I too may come and do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

riversident@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the wise men, became furious, and sent out and killed all the boy babies two years old and under in Bethlehem and all its neighborhood, guided by the date which he had carefully learned from the wise men.

riversident@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet when he said,

riversident@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:2:23 @ and settled in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

riversident@Matthew:3:7 @ When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said, "Brood of vipers, who directed you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit fitting for a change of heart,

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Matthew:3:10 @ Now the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit will be cut down and cast into the fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for a change of heart, but he who is coming after me is more powerful than I; I am not worthy to carry his shoes; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:12 @ He has his fan in his hand and will thoroughly clean his threshing-floor. He will gather his grain into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Matthew:3:14 @ But John opposed him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

riversident@Matthew:4:2 @ After he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was hungry.

riversident@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'To his angels he will give charge of you, and on their hands they will bear you lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "

riversident@Matthew:4:12 @ When Jesus heard that John had been betrayed, he went away into Galilee.

riversident@Matthew:4:14 @ so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say,

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

riversident@Matthew:8:1 @ WHEN Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came up and bowed before him, and said, "Sir, if you have the will, you have power to make me clean."

riversident@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, Instantly his leprosy was cleansed away.

riversident@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the Centurion, His servant was healed that very hour.

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:8:17 @ This was in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, "He took our weaknesses and bore away our diseases."

riversident@Matthew:8:24 @ Soon a great storm broke on the lake so that the boat was hidden under the waves; but he was sleeping.

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

riversident@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:10 @ It happened that, while he was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came in and reclined at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus and said, "Why are we and the Pharisees fasting while your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:20 @ Suddenly a woman who had been suffering for twelve years from hemorrhage came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak.

riversident@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If I touch only his cloak, I shall be healed."

riversident@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned and, seeing her, said, The woman was cured from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus entered the house of the Director and saw the flute-players and the crowd that was noisily lamenting, and he said,

riversident@Matthew:9:25 @ But after the crowd had been turned out, he went in and took hold of her hand and the girl rose up.

riversident@Matthew:9:26 @ The report of this spread through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was going along from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have pity on us, Son of David."

riversident@Matthew:9:28 @ After he had entered the house, these blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, They said, "Yes, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread his fame through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

riversident@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "Through the Chief of the demons he casts out the demons."

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus,

riversident@Matthew:11:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and preach in the towns.

riversident@Matthew:11:2 @ John had heard in prison of the doings of the Christ, and he sent by some of his disciples to ask,

riversident@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented:

riversident@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:12:1 @ AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grain-fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain to eat.

riversident@Matthew:12:2 @ When the Pharisees saw it they said, "See, your disciples are doing what is not allowable on the Sabbath."

riversident@Matthew:12:10 @ A man was there with a withered hand. They asked Jesus, "Is it allowable to heal on the Sabbath?" \'97 so that they might have something to accuse him of.

riversident@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they could destroy him.

riversident@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus was aware of it and went away from that place. Many followed him and he healed them all;

riversident@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, the Beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my spirit upon him and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

riversident@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed he will not break, and a low-burning wick he will, not quench, until he has carried justice to victory.

riversident@Matthew:12:22 @ Then there was brought to Jesus a demoniac, blind and dumb. He healed him so that he spoke and saw.

riversident@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees when they heard it said, "This man casts out demons only through Beelzebul the Chief of the demons."

riversident@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you."

riversident@Matthew:12:49 @ Then, stretching out his hand over his disciples, he said,

riversident@Matthew:13:1 @ ON that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake.

riversident@Matthew:13:2 @ Great crowds gathered to him so that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the shore.

riversident@Matthew:13:53 @ When Jesus had finished these illustrations, he went away from that place.

riversident@Matthew:13:54 @ Then he came to his native place and taught them in their synagogue so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?

riversident@Matthew:14:1 @ AT that time Herod the Prince heard the reports about Jesus

riversident@Matthew:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead and so miraculous powers are working in him."

riversident@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

riversident@Matthew:14:4 @ For John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

riversident@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath that he would give her whatever she asked.

riversident@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

riversident@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon hearing of it, Jesus went away in a boat privately to an uninhabited place. But the people heard of it and followed him by land from the towns.

riversident@Matthew:14:14 @ As he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

riversident@Matthew:14:15 @ When evening had come on, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the time is already late; send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

riversident@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, "We have here nothing but five loaves and two fishes."

riversident@Matthew:14:20 @ All ate and had abundance, and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that remained over.

riversident@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified, saying that it was a ghost, and they cried out with fear.

riversident@Matthew:14:31 @ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and grasped him and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:34 @ Having crossed, they came to land at Gennesaret.

riversident@Matthew:14:35 @ When the men of that place recognized him, they sent into all that neighborhood and brought to him all the sick

riversident@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might touch merely the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched were cured.

riversident@Matthew:15:1 @ THEN scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

riversident@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples violate the tradition of our forefathers? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food."

riversident@Matthew:15:12 @ Then his disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that the Pharisees were shocked when they heard what you said?"

riversident@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus retired into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

riversident@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanite woman of those parts came out and cried, "Sir, have pity on me, Son of David. My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon."

riversident@Matthew:15:27 @ But she said, "Yes, Sir; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

riversident@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus said to her, And her daughter was cured from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:15:30 @ Then a great crowd came to him having with them lame men, maimed men, blind men, mutes, and many others, and they laid them at his feet and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:15:33 @ The disciples said to him, "Where can we get enough bread in this uninhabited place to feed such a crowd?"

riversident@Matthew:15:36 @ and he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:15:37 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven baskets full of fragments that were left over.

riversident@Matthew:15:38 @ There were four thousand men that ate, besides women and children.

riversident@Matthew:16:1 @ THE Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, and, in order to put him to a test, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

riversident@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples got to the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to take bread,

riversident@Matthew:16:7 @ They were discussing this among themselves, saying, "It is because we have brought no bread."

riversident@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he had told them to beware not of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

riversident@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to make plain to his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem, and suffer greatly from the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him and began to reprove him, saying, "Please God, Sir; this shall not happen to you."

riversident@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them,

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

riversident@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

riversident@Matthew:17:15 @ "Sir, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and is in a very bad way. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

riversident@Matthew:17:18 @ Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him and the boy was well from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:18:1 @ AT that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

riversident@Matthew:18:21 @ Then Peter came to him and said, "How often, Sir, if my brother sins against me, shall I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

riversident@Matthew:19:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished these words, he left Galilee and came within that part of Judaea beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:19:3 @ Then some Pharisees came to him to test him. They said, "Is it allowable for a man to divorce his wife for any and every cause?"

riversident@Matthew:19:13 @ Then some little children were brought to him to have him lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples rebuked those who brought them.

riversident@Matthew:19:15 @ After laying his hands on them, he went away.

riversident@Matthew:19:16 @ A man came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to have life eternal?"

riversident@Matthew:19:20 @ The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I lack still?"

riversident@Matthew:19:22 @ When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved. For he possessed great wealth.

riversident@Matthew:19:27 @ Then Peter said, "Why, we have left everything and have followed you. What then shall we receive?"

riversident@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting at the side of the road, and when they heard that Jesus was passing, they cried out, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be silent. But all the more they cried, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and at once they regained sight and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:21:1 @ WHEN they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

riversident@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened in order that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled,

riversident@Matthew:21:6 @ The disciples went and did as Jesus had bidden them,

riversident@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that walked before and those that followed shouted, "God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Matthew:21:10 @ When he entered Jerusalem all the city was shaken, and people said, "Who is this?"

riversident@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the Temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,

riversident@Matthew:21:15 @ When the high priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting, "God save the Son of David!" they were angry

riversident@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said,

riversident@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

riversident@Matthew:21:23 @ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?"

riversident@Matthew:21:45 @ The high priests and the Pharisees listening to his illustrations knew that he was speaking about them.

riversident@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation how they could entrap him in talk.

riversident@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent to him their disciples with the Herodians and they said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and that you are afraid of no one, for you do not regard the social standing of men.

riversident@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us therefore what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

riversident@Matthew:22:23 @ On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

riversident@Matthew:22:24 @ "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any man dies childless, his brother shall marry his widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Matthew:22:28 @ In the resurrection, then, which of the seven will have the wife? For they all had her."

riversident@Matthew:22:34 @ The Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered,

riversident@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question,

riversident@Matthew:22:46 @ No one was able to answer him a word, and no one from that day dared ask him any more questions.

riversident@Matthew:24:3 @ While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"

riversident@Matthew:26:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished all these discourses, he said to his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled at the house of the High Priest, who was called Caiaphas,

riversident@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, "Not on the feast day, so that there may not be a riot among the people."

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:9 @ This could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."

riversident@Matthew:26:15 @ and asked, "What will you give me if I betray him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.

riversident@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he kept seeking a favorable time to betray him.

riversident@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them and prepared the Passover.

riversident@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening had come, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:27 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks gave it to them, saying,

riversident@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will not disown you." And so said all of the disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:48 @ The traitor had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is he. Arrest him."

riversident@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and arrested him.

riversident@Matthew:26:51 @ Suddenly one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Matthew:26:57 @ The men who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the scribes and elders had assembled.

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:62 @ The High Priest rose and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is it that these are testifying to against you?"

riversident@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments, saying, "Impious words! Why do we any longer need witnesses? See, you have now heard his impious words.

riversident@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death."

riversident@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, "Act the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you? "

riversident@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus had said, and he went out and wept bitterly.

riversident@Matthew:27:2 @ After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I sinned in betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."

riversident@Matthew:27:8 @ For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day.

riversident@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel,

riversident@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer even one word, so that the Governor was much astonished.

riversident@Matthew:27:16 @ There was at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

riversident@Matthew:27:17 @ So, when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

riversident@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that out of jealousy they had handed him over.

riversident@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him a message, "Do not have anything to do with that righteous man. For I have suffered much to-day in a dream because of him."

riversident@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What, then, shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Have him crucified."

riversident@Matthew:27:23 @ He said, "Why, what wrong has he done?" But they kept shouting furiously, "Have him crucified!"

riversident@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was doing no good, but rather that an uproar was arising, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this blood. You will have to see to it."

riversident@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going out, they chanced upon a man from Cyrene by the name of Simon. This man they impressed to carry the cross of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:33 @ On coming to a place called Golgotha (note:)that is, Skull Place(:note),

riversident@Matthew:27:35 @ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Matthew:27:55 @ Looking on from a distance, were many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, waiting upon him.

riversident@Matthew:27:57 @ In the late afternoon there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive,

riversident@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders to have the tomb guarded until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him away and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last error will be worse than the first."

riversident@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You may have a guard. Go make it as secure as you know how."

riversident@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel said to the women, "Do not you be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

riversident@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here. He has been raised, as he told you. Come see the place where he lay.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead. He will precede you to Galilee. There you will see him. See, I have told you."

riversident@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city and brought word to the high priests of all that had happened.

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this report has been spread among the Jews to this day.

riversident@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed to meet them,

riversident@Mark:1:4 @ just so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of a change of heart for forgiveness of sins.

riversident@Mark:1:6 @ John's clothes were of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Mark:1:7 @ He proclaimed, "One is coming after me who is more powerful than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop and loose.

riversident@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Mark:1:14 @ After John had been betrayed, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God

riversident@Mark:1:22 @ The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as if he had authority, and not as the scribes.

riversident@Mark:1:24 @ "What have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 the Holy one of God."

riversident@Mark:1:27 @ They were all amazed so that they discussed together, "What is this? A new powerful teaching! He commands even the impure spirits and they obey him!"

riversident@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

riversident@Mark:1:31 @ He came to her, and took her by the hand and lifted her up. The fever left her and she waited on them.

riversident@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came and the sun had set, they brought to him all the sick and those who were afflicted with demons;

riversident@Mark:1:41 @ He had compassion on him, and stretched out his hand and touched him, and said,

riversident@Mark:1:43 @ Then Jesus sent him away after strictly charging him,

riversident@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went away and began to proclaim freely and to spread the report, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter openly into any city, but stayed out in the wild country, and people came to him from every direction.

riversident@Mark:2:1 @ HE came again into Capernaum, and after some days it was heard that he was in the house.

riversident@Mark:2:2 @ Many came together, so that there was no longer room even near the door, and he preached to them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said to him, "See what they are doing on the Sabbath \'97 something that is not allowable."

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

riversident@Mark:3:2 @ They watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might have something to say against him.

riversident@Mark:3:3 @ He said to the man with the withered hand,

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

riversident@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out immediately and joined with the Herodians in a plot to put him out of the way.

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

riversident@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus spoke to his disciples to have a little boat ready for his use on account of the throng, to prevent them from pressing upon him.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd gathered again so that they were not able even to eat bread.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:4:35 @ On that day when evening came he said to them,

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

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

riversident@Mark:4:41 @ But they were intensely awestruck and said to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"

riversident@Mark:5:3 @ This man made his dwelling in the tombs, and nobody could bind him even with a chain,

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

riversident@Mark:5:7 @ and shouted with a loud voice, "What have I and you to do with each other, Jesus, Son of God most high? I adjure you by God, not to torment me."

riversident@Mark:5:8 @ For Jesus had said to him,

riversident@Mark:5:14 @ At this, those who were feeding them fled and told it in the city and in the fields, and people came to see what had happened.

riversident@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw the demoniac, the man who had had the legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. They were struck with awe.

riversident@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them about what had happened to the demoniac and about the swine.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is near to death. I beg you to come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live."

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

riversident@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered much under the treatment of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, though without becoming better, but rather worse;

riversident@Mark:5:27 @ this woman had heard about Jesus, and she came in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,

riversident@Mark:5:28 @ for she said, "If I can touch even his clothes, I shall be healed."

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

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

riversident@Mark:5:32 @ But he looked around to see who had done it.

riversident@Mark:5:33 @ Then the woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell before him and told him all the truth.

riversident@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the Director,

riversident@Mark:5:41 @ Taking hold of the child's hand he said to her, which means,

riversident@Mark:5:43 @ But he strictly ordered that no one should know it, and told them to give her something to eat.

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:9 @ to be shod with sandals, and not to have two tunics.

riversident@Mark:6:12 @ They went out and proclaimed that men should repent,

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:18 @ For John had said to Herod, "It is not right for you to have your brother's wife."

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately hurried in and said to the King, "I choose to have you give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

riversident@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered back to Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

riversident@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them, For there were many people coming and going, and they had no time even to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:32 @ So they put off in a boat for an uninhabited, solitary place.

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

riversident@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away so that they can go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat."

riversident@Mark:6:37 @ But Jesus answered, They said, "Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings worth of bread and feed them?"

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:42 @ All ate and had abundance,

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed to the land they came to Gennesaret and dropped anchor.

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

riversident@Mark:7:1 @ ONCE the Pharisees gathered about him with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:7:24 @ Leaving that place, Jesus went into the borders of Tyre. He entered a house and did not wish any one to know it, but he could not escape notice.

riversident@Mark:7:32 @ They brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hand on him.

riversident@Mark:7:34 @ Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, that is,,

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

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

riversident@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, "Where will any one be able to get bread to supply these people here in the uninhabited country?"

riversident@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to recline on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and, after giving thanks, broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed to the people.

riversident@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fishes. These he blessed and told the disciples to distribute them.

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

riversident@Mark:8:10 @ At once he got into a boat with the disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

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

riversident@Mark:8:14 @ They had forgotten to take bread, and except one loaf they had none with them in the boat.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became dazzlingly white, with a whiteness that no bleacher on earth can impart.

riversident@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, they were so frightened.

riversident@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud overshadowed them and there came a voice out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son, hear him."

riversident@Mark:9:9 @ When they were descending the mountain, he told them not to tell any one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

riversident@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him and he stood up.

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.

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

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

riversident@Mark:10:13 @ They were bringing little children to him to have him touch them, but his disciples rebuked them.

riversident@Mark:10:16 @ Then he took them into his arms and blessed them, putting his hands on them.

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

riversident@Mark:10:20 @ He answered, "Teacher, all these I have kept from my boyhood."

riversident@Mark:10:22 @ But his face darkened at that reply, and he went away grieved, for he had great possessions.

riversident@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began, "Well, we have left everything and have followed you."

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

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

riversident@Mark:10:37 @ They said, "Grant that one of us may sit on your right hand and the other on your left hand in your glory."

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

riversident@Mark:11:1 @ WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

riversident@Mark:11:5 @ Some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

riversident@Mark:11:6 @ They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give, and the men let them take it.

riversident@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:11:28 @ and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do them?"

riversident@Mark:12:12 @ They kept trying to seize him, but were afraid of the crowd. For they knew that he had meant the illustration for them. So they left him and went away.

riversident@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to entrap him in his talk.

riversident@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and are not afraid of any one; for you do not look at the social standing of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

riversident@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them,

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

riversident@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if any man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but no child, the brother shall take the wife and raise up off-spring for his brother.

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

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

riversident@Mark:12:32 @ The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher; you have said truly that he is one and there is no other beside him,

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

riversident@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus, seeing that he had answered with intelligence, said to him, After that no one dared question him further.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

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

riversident@Mark:14:23 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

riversident@Mark:14:31 @ But he kept saying more earnestly, "Though I have to die with you, I will not disown you." Just so they all said.

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

riversident@Mark:14:40 @ Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to answer him.

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

riversident@Mark:14:44 @ The traitor had given them a sign, "The man I kiss, that is he. Seize him and take him safely away."

riversident@Mark:14:46 @ They laid their hands on him and held him.

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

riversident@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made by hands and in three days I will build another not made by hands.'

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

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

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

riversident@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it and said, "I do not know nor understand what you are saying." Then he went out into the outer courtyard.

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.

riversident@Mark:15:3 @ The high priests went on making many charges against him.

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

riversident@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:15:17 @ Then they dressed him in purple and put on him a crown of thorns which they had twisted together,

riversident@Mark:15:18 @ and they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Mark:15:22 @ So they brought him to the place Golgotha, which means Skull Place.

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

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

riversident@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe." Even the men who were crucified along with him reviled him.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph bought a linen sheet and took him down and swathed him in it and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:4 @ so that you may know the exact truth in regard to the matters which you have been taught by word of mouth.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:14 @ You will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth.

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

riversident@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered, "I am Gabriel, who stands before the face of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to give you this good news.

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

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

riversident@Luke:1:28 @ The angel entered and said to her, "Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you!"

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

riversident@Luke:1:30 @ The angel said to her, "Do not fear, Mary; for you have found favor with God.

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:37 @ For "no word that comes from God will fail."

riversident@Luke:1:38 @ Mary said, "Here I am, the Lord's handmaid. Let it be to me according to your word." Then the angel left her.

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:43 @ But why do I have the honor of having the mother of my Lord come to me?

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:58 @ Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great kindness to her, and they rejoiced with her.

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

riversident@Luke:1:60 @ But his mother said, "No, but he shall be called John."

riversident@Luke:1:61 @ They said to her, "There is no one of your family who is called by that name."

riversident@Luke:1:62 @ Then they made signs to his father to know what he wanted him called.

riversident@Luke:1:64 @ At once Zacharias's mouth was opened and his tongue loosed and he spoke, praising God.

riversident@Luke:1:66 @ All who heard them laid them up in their minds, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.

riversident@Luke:1:67 @ Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and said prophetically:

riversident@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! For he has looked upon his people, and made deliverance for them.

riversident@Luke:1:69 @ He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant,

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

riversident@Luke:2:17 @ When they saw it, they told what had been spoken to them about this child.

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

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

riversident@Luke:2:21 @ When eight days had passed and the time to circumcise him had come, his name was called Jesus \'97 the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

riversident@Luke:2:23 @ as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord,"

riversident@Luke:2:26 @ It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he was not to see death before he saw the Lord's Christ.

riversident@Luke:2:30 @ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

riversident@Luke:2:31 @ which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples,

riversident@Luke:2:33 @ His father and his mother wondered at the things that were spoken about him.

riversident@Luke:2:37 @ and having been a widow for now eighty-four years. She never left the Temple courts, but worshiped by fastings and prayers, night and day.

riversident@Luke:2:38 @ She too came up at that time and praised God and spoke about him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:2:39 @ When they had completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.

riversident@Luke:2:42 @ When he had reached the age of twelve years, and they had gone up according to the custom of the feast

riversident@Luke:2:48 @ When his parents saw him, they were amazed, and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us so? See, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress."

riversident@Luke:2:50 @ They did not understand the words that he spoke.

riversident@Luke:3:2 @ during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wild lands.

riversident@Luke:3:3 @ Then he came into all the neighborhood of the Jordan proclaiming baptism for a change of heart in order to forgiveness of sins,

riversident@Luke:3:5 @ Every ravine shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be graded down, and the crooked places shall become straight and the rough roads shall become smooth,

riversident@Luke:3:6 @ and all men shall see the salvation of God."

riversident@Luke:3:7 @ He said to the crowds that went out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Luke:3:8 @ Produce then fruits suitable for a change of heart, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I tell you, God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Luke:3:9 @ Already the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire."

riversident@Luke:3:10 @ The crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?"

riversident@Luke:3:11 @ He answered, "Let him who has two tunics give to him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise."

riversident@Luke:3:12 @ Some tax collectors came to be baptized and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

riversident@Luke:3:13 @ He said to them, "Do nothing beyond what you are authorized."

riversident@Luke:3:14 @ Soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" He said to them, "Do violence to no man; bring no false accusations; be content with your rations."

riversident@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, "I am baptizing you with water, but there is coming the One mightier than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Luke:4:17 @ The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book and found the place where it is written,

riversident@Luke:4:20 @ Then he rolled up the book and handed it over to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

riversident@Luke:4:34 @ "Ha, what have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 The Holy One of God."

riversident@Luke:4:36 @ Astonishment fell upon all, and they talked to one another, saying, "What is this word? With authority and power he commands the impure spirits and they come out!"

riversident@Luke:4:37 @ Reports about him spread into every part of that region.

riversident@Luke:4:40 @ As the sun was setting, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he put his hands on each of them and healed them.

riversident@Luke:4:41 @ Demons came out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and did not permit them to speak, for they knew that he was the Christ.

riversident@Luke:5:1 @ IT happened that, as the crowd was pressing upon him and listening to the word of God, he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret,

riversident@Luke:5:2 @ and he saw two boats by the shore. The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing their nets.

riversident@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night and caught nothing. But at your word I will let down the nets."

riversident@Luke:5:6 @ When they had done this, they enclosed a great mass of fishes and their nets began to break.

riversident@Luke:5:7 @ They beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. They came, and both the boats were filled so that they began to sink.

riversident@Luke:5:9 @ For amazement seized him and all those who were with him at the catch of fishes they had taken.

riversident@Luke:5:12 @ It happened that, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man present full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, "Sir, if you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Luke:5:13 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said, Immediately the leprosy left him.

riversident@Luke:5:17 @ It happened on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting who had come from every village of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.

riversident@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to argue, saying, "Who is this man who speaks profane words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

riversident@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he stood up before them and took up what he had been lying on and went away to his house, glorifying God.

riversident@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized them all and they gave glory to God, yet they were also filled with awe, and said, "We have seen astonishing things today!"

riversident@Luke:5:30 @ The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled to his disciples, and said, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do those of the Pharisees, but your followers eat and drink."

riversident@Luke:6:1 @ IT happened that he was passing one Sabbath through some grainfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

riversident@Luke:6:2 @ But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

riversident@Luke:6:6 @ It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and was teaching. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

riversident@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and Pharisees watched to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, wishing to find something to accuse him of.

riversident@Luke:6:8 @ But he knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, He rose and stood.

riversident@Luke:6:10 @ He looked around at all of them, then said to the man, He did so and his hand was restored.

riversident@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with blind fury, and discussed with one another what they could do to Jesus.

riversident@Luke:6:12 @ It happened during those days that he went out to the mountain and prayed and was all night in prayer to God.

riversident@Luke:6:15 @ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot,

riversident@Luke:6:17 @ He went down with them and stood on a level spot where were gathered a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.

riversident@Luke:7:1 @ WHEN he had finished all his discourses in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

riversident@Luke:7:4 @ When they came to Jesus they begged him earnestly, saying, "He deserves to have this done,

riversident@Luke:7:6 @ Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to say to him, "Do not trouble yourself, Sir, for I am not fit to have you come under my roof.

riversident@Luke:7:7 @ On that account I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and have my servant cured.

riversident@Luke:7:8 @ For I am a man \'97 under authority \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to that one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this, he wondered, and, turning to the crowd that was following him, he said,

riversident@Luke:7:10 @ Those who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

riversident@Luke:7:11 @ It happened soon afterwards that he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd were going along with him.

riversident@Luke:7:13 @ When the Master saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,

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

riversident@Luke:7:21 @ At that very time he was curing many of diseases and pains and wicked spirits, and to many blind people he was giving sight.

riversident@Luke:7:24 @ After John's messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:

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

riversident@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the lawyers had thwarted the purpose of God in reference to themselves by not being baptized by him.)

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:7:39 @ When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said within himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what this woman who is touching him is, for she is a sinner."

riversident@Luke:7:49 @ The other guests began to say to themselves, "Who is this that even forgives sins?"

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

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

riversident@Luke:8:22 @ It happened one day that he got into a boat, and his disciples went with him. He said to them, They put out.

riversident@Luke:8:27 @ When he got out on to the land, there met him a certain man from that city who had demons. For a long time he had not worn clothes and had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.

riversident@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed and fell down before him, and in a loud voice said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I pray you, do not torment me."

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

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

riversident@Luke:8:34 @ The herdsmen, seeing what had happened, fled and told it in the city and on the farms.

riversident@Luke:8:35 @ The people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were struck with awe.

riversident@Luke:8:36 @ Those who had seen it told them how the demoniac had been cured.

riversident@Luke:8:38 @ The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

riversident@Luke:8:39 @ He went through the whole city proclaiming how much Jesus had done for him.

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

riversident@Luke:8:43 @ A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be cured by any one,

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:8:54 @ But he took hold of her hand and said to her,

riversident@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were amazed, but he told them not to tell any one of what had happened.

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

riversident@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the old prophets had arisen.

riversident@Luke:9:10 @ The apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Taking them with him, he went away privately to a city called Bethsaida.

riversident@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the villages and farms around and put up for the night and find food, for here we are in the wild lands."

riversident@Luke:9:13 @ He said to them, They replied, "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes. We cannot go and buy food for all this crowd, can we?"

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

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

riversident@Luke:9:21 @ But he rebuked him, and charged them not to say this to any one,

riversident@Luke:9:22 @ telling them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and high priests and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

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

riversident@Luke:9:32 @ Peter and his companions had been weighed down with sleep, but becoming fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:9:39 @ and see, a spirit seizes him and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him till he foams and it hardly leaves off tormenting him.

riversident@Luke:9:43 @ They were amazed at the greatness of God. While they were all wondering at all the things that he did, he said to his disciples,

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

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

riversident@Luke:10:21 @ At that hour in exultant joy through the Holy Sprit he said,

riversident@Luke:10:25 @ Then a certain lawyer stood up to test him, and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit life eternal?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:11:53 @ After he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him angrily and cross-question him on many points,

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

riversident@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, seeing that he had been cured, turned back with a loud shout giving glory to God,

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

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

riversident@Luke:18:1 @ HE gave them an illustration that they ought always to pray and not to lose courage.

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

riversident@Luke:18:21 @ He said, "All these I have kept from my boyhood up."

riversident@Luke:18:22 @ On hearing that, Jesus said to him,

riversident@Luke:18:28 @ Peter said, "See, we have left our property and have followed you."

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

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

riversident@Luke:18:38 @ Then he shouted, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me!"

riversident@Luke:18:39 @ Those who were in front rebuked him and told him to be still. But he kept crying out much louder, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:19:28 @ When he had said these things, he journeyed onward, going up toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:19:29 @ When they approached Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called the Olive Orchard, he sent two of his disciples,

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:19:39 @ Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

riversident@Luke:20:2 @ and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things or who it is that gave you this authority."

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

riversident@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

riversident@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the high priests were eager to lay hands on him at that very time, for they knew that he had aimed the illustration at them; but they were afraid of the people.

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Luke:20:39 @ Some of the scribes answered him, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

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

riversident@Luke:21:37 @ During the days he continued to teach in the Temple courts, but every night he went out and stayed on the mount called Olive Orchard.

riversident@Luke:22:13 @ They went away and found everything just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Luke:22:17 @ He took a cup and gave thanks and said,

riversident@Luke:22:19 @ Then he took a loaf and gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:49 @ Those about Jesus, seeing what was going to happen, said, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"

riversident@Luke:22:52 @ Jesus said to the high priests and officers of the Temple and elders who had come out against him,

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:22:63 @ The men who had arrested Jesus made sport of him, beating him,

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

riversident@Luke:22:71 @ They said, "Why do we need any more testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth."

riversident@Luke:23:2 @ They began accusing him, saying, "We have found this man corrupting our nation and opposing the payment of tribute to Caesar and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

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

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

riversident@Luke:23:12 @ So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that day. Previously they had been at enmity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him and said, "Have you no fear of God, since you are under the same sentence?

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:23:49 @ All his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee were standing at a distance looking on.

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

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

riversident@Luke:24:1 @ BUT on the first day of the week at early dawn they came to the tomb, bringing the perfumes which they had prepared.

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

riversident@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."

riversident@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter rose and ran to the tomb and stooping down he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went away to his place wondering at what had happened.

riversident@Luke:24:13 @ On that day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, seven miles distant from Jerusalem,

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

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

riversident@Luke:24:20 @ how our high priests and leading men handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.

riversident@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.

riversident@Luke:24:23 @ and did not find his body, but came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:24:35 @ They then narrated what had happened on the road and how they knew him by his breaking the bread.

riversident@Luke:24:37 @ They were terrified and much alarmed, and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

riversident@Luke:24:40 @ Saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

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

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

riversident@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to testify about the Light, that all might believe through him.

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

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

riversident@John:1:16 @ For of his fullness we all have received, and grace for grace.

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

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

riversident@John:1:22 @ They said then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer to give to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

riversident@John:1:24 @ The men had been sent from the Pharisees.

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

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

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

riversident@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water \'97 he said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, that is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

riversident@John:1:34 @ And I saw it and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

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

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

riversident@John:1:41 @ He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (note:)which means, when translated, the Christ(:note)!"

riversident@John:1:42 @ He led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, (note:)which is in Greek, Peter, that is, Rock(:note).

riversident@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and of whom the prophets wrote \'97 Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

riversident@John:1:46 @ Nathanael said to him, "From Nazareth can there be anything good?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

riversident@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said,

riversident@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him,

riversident@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:2:3 @ When the wine ran short, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

riversident@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

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

riversident@John:2:10 @ and said to him, "Every man sets on first the fine wine, and when they have drunk freely he sets on the poorer. You have kept the fine wine till now."

riversident@John:2:14 @ Finding in the Temple courts the sellers of cattle and sheep and doves and the money-changers sitting there,

riversident@John:2:15 @ he made a whip of cords and drove them all from the courts \'97 all the sheep and the cattle, \'97 and he poured out the small coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

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

riversident@John:2:18 @ The Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us, since you act in this way?"

riversident@John:2:22 @ So when he arose from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

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

riversident@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:4:5 @ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

riversident@John:4:8 @ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

riversident@John:4:11 @ She said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water from?

riversident@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank of it, himself and his sons and his flocks?"

riversident@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Give me this water, so that I may not thirst nor come all the way here to draw."

riversident@John:4:17 @ The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

riversident@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the proper place to worship."

riversident@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things."

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

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

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

riversident@John:4:39 @ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

riversident@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went.

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

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

riversident@John:4:54 @ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

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

riversident@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw this man lying there and perceiving that he had been there a long time, he said to him,

riversident@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, "I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled. While I am coming, some other man gets down before me."

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

riversident@John:5:10 @ The Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not proper for you to carry your pallet."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, "Two hundred shillings worth of bread would not be enough for them each to have a little piece."

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:6:15 @ Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

riversident@John:6:17 @ and got into a boat and started across toward Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

riversident@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and getting near the boat, and they were frightened.

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

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

riversident@John:6:28 @ They said to him, "What are we to do to work the works of God?"

riversident@John:6:30 @ They said to him, "What sign are you doing for us to see and believe in you? What are you working?

riversident@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples, after hearing him, said, "This is a hard doctrine. Who can listen to it?"

riversident@John:6:61 @ Jesus, knowing in his own mind that his disciples were muttering about this, said to them,

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

riversident@John:6:66 @ After that many of the disciples drew back from him and no longer went about with him.

riversident@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Sir, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life eternal,

riversident@John:6:69 @ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

riversident@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, "Leave this region and go into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works that you are doing.

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

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

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

riversident@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?"

riversident@John:7:26 @ See, he is talking freely and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers know for truth that this is the Christ?

riversident@John:7:30 @ They tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:7:31 @ From the crowd many believed in him and said, "The Christ, when he comes, will not do more signs than this man does, will he?"

riversident@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the murmur of debate about him in the crowd, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

riversident@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where is this man going that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

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

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

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

riversident@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

riversident@John:7:45 @ The officers came to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

riversident@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deluded?

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

riversident@John:7:51 @ "Does our Law condemn any man without first hearing from him and learning what he is doing?"

riversident@John:7:52 @ They answered him, "Can it be that you too are from Galilee? Examine and see that from Galilee no prophet arises."

riversident@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees led in a woman taken in adultery and making her stand in the midst,

riversident@John:8:5 @ In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

riversident@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.

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

riversident@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your witness is not true."

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

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

riversident@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him,

riversident@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been in slavery to any man. How do you say,

riversident@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." He said to them,

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

riversident@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

riversident@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died and the prophets died, and you say,

riversident@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? And yet he died and the prophets died. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

riversident@John:8:57 @ The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

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

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

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

riversident@John:9:12 @ They said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

riversident@John:9:13 @ They brought him to the Pharisees \'97 the man once blind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:9:24 @ They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

riversident@John:9:26 @ They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

riversident@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I have told you already and you did not listen, why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples?"

riversident@John:9:28 @ They flouted him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are Moses' disciples.

riversident@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but this man \'97 we do not know where he comes from."

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

riversident@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to a sinner, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, God hears him.

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

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

riversident@John:9:36 @ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."

riversident@John:9:40 @ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

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

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

riversident@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped from their hands

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

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

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

riversident@John:11:5 @ Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

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

riversident@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, he said to the disciples,

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

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

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:11:37 @ Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have prevented this man from dying?"

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

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:11:53 @ From that day they plotted to kill him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first, but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

riversident@John:12:17 @ The people that were with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead were bearing witness to it.

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

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

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

riversident@John:12:28 @ There came a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it and will again glorify it."

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

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

riversident@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

riversident@John:12:37 @ But, though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,

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

riversident@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and dulled their mind so that they may not see with their eyes nor understand with their mind and repent so that I should heal them."

riversident@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even of the rulers many did believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, in order not to be expelled from the synagogue;

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

riversident@John:13:1 @ BEFORE the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that the hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world loved them to the end.

riversident@John:13:2 @ During supper, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

riversident@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,

riversident@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

riversident@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him,

riversident@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to him, "Master, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

riversident@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet and had taken his upper garments and lain down again, he said to them,

riversident@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter nodded to him and said, "Say who it is that he is speaking of."

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

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

riversident@John:13:31 @ When Judas had gone, Jesus said,

riversident@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father and we shall be satisfied."

riversident@John:14:22 @ Judas (note:)not Iscariot(:note) said to him, "Master, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

riversident@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says, and,

riversident@John:16:18 @ So they said, "What is this that he says, We do not know what he means."

riversident@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them,

riversident@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know all things and that you have no need to have any one question you. From this we believe that you have come forth from God."

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

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

riversident@John:18:4 @ Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, came forward and said to them,

riversident@John:18:9 @ He said this that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken,

riversident@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

riversident@John:18:13 @ and took him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

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

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

riversident@John:18:18 @ The servants and policemen were standing there. They had made a fire, for it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

riversident@John:18:22 @ When he said this, a policeman, who was standing by, gave Jesus a slap, saying, "Do you answer the High Priest that way?"

riversident@John:18:24 @ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the High Priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

riversident@John:18:28 @ They led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Castle. It was early morning. The Jews did not enter the Castle, wishing to avoid defilement, so that they might eat the Passover.

riversident@John:18:29 @ Pilate went out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

riversident@John:18:30 @ They answered, "If he were not an evil-doer, we should not have handed him over to you."

riversident@John:18:32 @ They said this that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled \'97 the word he had spoken indicating by what death he was to die.

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no crime in him.

riversident@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:19:3 @ and kept coming up to him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and slapping him.

riversident@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

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

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

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:15 @ They shouted, "Away with him, away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

riversident@John:19:17 @ and laid on him his cross and went out to what is called Skull Place \'97 in Hebrew, Golgotha \'97

riversident@John:19:18 @ where they crucified him. And with him they crucified two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus between them.

riversident@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

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

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

riversident@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

riversident@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus knowing that now all things had been completed, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled said,

riversident@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, and bowing his head gave up his spirit.

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

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

riversident@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

riversident@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

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

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

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

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

riversident@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place apart.

riversident@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple who had come first to the tomb entered, and he saw and believed.

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

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

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

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

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

riversident@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (note:)that is, Teacher(:note).

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

riversident@John:20:19 @ In the evening of that day, the first day of the week, when the doors had been closed where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them,

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

riversident@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said,

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

riversident@John:20:31 @ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

riversident@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

riversident@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

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

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

riversident@John:21:9 @ When they had gotten out on land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it and bread.

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

riversident@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

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

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

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

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

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

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

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@John:21:25 @ There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these are written, every one, I do not think that the world itself will have room for the books when written.

riversident@Acts:1:1 @ IN my first book, Theophilus, I told of all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning

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

riversident@Acts:1:4 @ Also while eating with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, said he,

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

riversident@Acts:1:12 @ They then returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Olive Orchard, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey distant.

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

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

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

riversident@Acts:14:3 @ Therefore the apostles spent considerable time speaking freely and fearlessly in reliance upon the Lord, who bore witness to his gracious message by permitting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

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

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

riversident@Acts:14:11 @ When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have taken human form and come down to us."

riversident@Acts:14:15 @ "Men, why are you doing this? We too are men with the same weaknesses that you have. We are bringing you the good news that you are to turn from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them.

riversident@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds, and they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking that he was dead.

riversident@Acts:14:21 @ Telling the good news in that city they made a number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

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

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

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

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

riversident@Acts:15:4 @ On their arrival in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they narrated all that God, working with them, had done.

riversident@Acts:15:5 @ Then some of the party of the Pharisees, who had become believers, rose and said, "We must circumcise them and tell them to keep the Law of Moses."

riversident@Acts:15:7 @ After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in early days God chose among you that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of good news and should believe.

riversident@Acts:15:10 @ Now, therefore, why are you testing God by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

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

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

riversident@Acts:15:14 @ Symeon has told how first God graciously visited the Gentiles and took a people for his name.

riversident@Acts:15:16 @ 'After this I will return and build up again the tent of David which has fallen down; yes, I will build up its ruins and erect it again,

riversident@Acts:15:17 @ that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles upon whom my name has been bestowed, says the Lord

riversident@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore I judge best not to trouble those of the Gentiles who have turned to God,

riversident@Acts:15:20 @ but to write to them to abstain from contamination with idols, and from unchastity, and from what has been strangled, and from blood.

riversident@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses has had for generations past in every city those who preach him, for he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

riversident@Acts:15:23 @ They wrote and sent by their hands the following letter: "The Apostles and the Brethren who are elders, to the Brethren from the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Greeting.

riversident@Acts:15:24 @ "Inasmuch as we have heard that certain persons from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, \'97 men whom we did not authorize, \'97

riversident@Acts:15:27 @ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will tell you orally the same things.

riversident@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no further burden than these necessary things:

riversident@Acts:15:29 @ to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from strangled things, and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these you will do well. Farewell."

riversident@Acts:15:33 @ After spending some time they were sent away with a message of peace from the brethren to those who had sent them.

riversident@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not approve of taking him along, since he had left them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them into the work.

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

riversident@Acts:16:2 @ He had a good reputation among the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

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

riversident@Acts:16:4 @ Thus they traveled through the cities and delivered to the disciples for observance the rules that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

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

riversident@Acts:16:10 @ After Paul had seen the vision, we at once tried to go out to Macedonia, inferring that God had called on us to tell the good news to the people there.

riversident@Acts:16:12 @ From there we went to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia and is a Roman colony. We remained in that city for a number of days.

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

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

riversident@Acts:16:15 @ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul said with a loud voice, "Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here."

riversident@Acts:16:30 @ and led them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"

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

riversident@Acts:16:34 @ He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.

riversident@Acts:16:36 @ The jailer told this order to Paul, "The magistrates have sent to have you set at liberty. Now go out and proceed on your journey in peace."

riversident@Acts:16:38 @ The orderlies reported these words to the magistrates. When they heard that they were Romans they were alarmed,

riversident@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and showing that it was necessary that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead, and saying, "Jesus of whom I am telling you is the Christ."

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

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

riversident@Acts:17:11 @ These people were nobler than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed the message with all readiness and examined the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

riversident@Acts:17:13 @ When the Jews of Thessalonica learned that God's message had been proclaimed by Paul also in Beraea, they came there agitating and disturbing the crowds.

riversident@Acts:17:17 @ He often debated in the synagogue with the Jews and pious persons, and in the market-place every day with whoever happened to be there.

riversident@Acts:17:18 @ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him, and some said, "What can this idle talker mean?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

riversident@Acts:17:19 @ They took him and led him up on to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine that you are speaking of is?

riversident@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing strange and surprising things to our ears. We wish to know what these things are."

riversident@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there spent their time in nothing else than in telling or hearing something newer than the last.

riversident@Acts:17:22 @ Paul took his stand in the midst of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens, I see that you are in every way unusually reverential to the gods.

riversident@Acts:17:27 @ that they might seek for God, if they could feel after him and find him, though, indeed, he is not far from each one of us.

riversident@Acts:17:28 @ For in him we live and move and are; as some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are his offspring.'

riversident@Acts:17:29 @ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that deity is like gold or silver or stone, a thing carved by man's art and thought.

riversident@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to change,

riversident@Acts:17:31 @ since he has set a day in which he will soon judge the world in justice by the man whom he has appointed, and of whom he has given evidence to all men by raising him from the dead."

riversident@Acts:18:2 @ There he found a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus but recently come from Italy with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul visited these people,

riversident@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed by the message, bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:18:7 @ So he changed over from there and came into the house of a man named Titus Justus, who reverenced God. His house was next to the synagogue.

riversident@Acts:18:12 @ While Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one mind made an attack on Paul and brought him before the court,

riversident@Acts:18:14 @ As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it was some crime or wicked knavery, O you Jews, I would have reasonable patience with you.

riversident@Acts:18:18 @ Paul remained a number of days more. Then after taking leave of the brethren he sailed away to Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila went with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

riversident@Acts:18:24 @ A certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, had come to Ephesus.

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

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

riversident@Acts:18:28 @ For he powerfully and publicly refuted the Jews, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

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

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

riversident@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing that, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,

riversident@Acts:19:6 @ and when Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

riversident@Acts:19:9 @ When some were hardened and would not believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away his disciples and discussed daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.

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

riversident@Acts:19:11 @ Through the hands of Paul, God did miracles of no ordinary kind,

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

riversident@Acts:19:13 @ Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims."

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

riversident@Acts:19:18 @ Many of those who had become believers came confessing and telling of their practices.

riversident@Acts:19:19 @ A number of those who had practiced magic brought their books and burned them before all. Adding up the prices of them they found the total to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

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

riversident@Acts:19:23 @ At that time there arose no small commotion about the Way.

riversident@Acts:19:25 @ He gathered these and the workmen employed about such things and said, "Men, you know that from this business we get our wealth,

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

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

riversident@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd fixed on Alexander, since the Jews were putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand and wished to make a defense before the people.

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

riversident@Acts:19:35 @ Then the City Clerk quieted the crowd and said, "Men of Ephesus, who is there of all men who does not know that the city of Ephesus is the temple-keeper of the great Artemis, and of her image which fell down from Zeus?

riversident@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought here these men who are not robbers of temples nor defamers of your goddess.

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

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

riversident@Acts:20:13 @ We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take on Paul there, for so he had arranged, intending to come himself by land.

riversident@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus in order not to spend time in Asia. He was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

riversident@Acts:20:18 @ When they came to him, he said to them, "You know how I have lived among you the whole time since the first day I set foot in Asia,

riversident@Acts:24:25 @ While Paul was reasoning about righteousness and self-discipline and the judgment that is to come, Felix became alarmed and said," Go for the present. When I find a convenient time I will send for you."

riversident@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time he was in hopes that money would be given him by Paul and therefore he used to send for him more frequently and converse with him.

riversident@Acts:24:27 @ But at the end of two years Felix received Porcius Festus as a successor, and, wishing to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in chains.

riversident@Acts:25:3 @ and begged as a favor that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to have an ambush and kill him on the road.

riversident@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered that Paul was being kept in Caesarea and that he himself was going back very soon.

riversident@Acts:25:5 @ "Let those of you who can," he said, "go down with me, and, if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring their charges against him."

riversident@Acts:25:6 @ After spending not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea and on the next day took his seat on the judge's bench and ordered Paul to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:7 @ When he had come in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought many serious charges, which they were unable to prove,

riversident@Acts:25:8 @ while Paul claimed in his own defense, "Neither against the Jewish Law nor against the Temple courts nor against Caesar, have I committed any wrong."

riversident@Acts:25:10 @ Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's bar, where I ought to be tried. I have not harmed any Jews in anything, as you very well know.

riversident@Acts:25:11 @ If I am in the wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die. But if there is nothing in the accusations of these men, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:15 @ against whom when I was in Jerusalem the high priests and the elders of the Jews had much to say, asking to have him condemned.

riversident@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any person for punishment before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the charge.

riversident@Acts:25:18 @ When his accusers arose, they brought no charge of such crimes as I was expecting,

riversident@Acts:25:19 @ but they had some disputes with him about their own religion and concerning a certain Jesus who had died and whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

riversident@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss about a question of this kind, I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on the charges.

riversident@Acts:25:22 @ Agrippa said to Festus, "I should like to hear the man myself." "To-morrow," he replied, "you shall hear him."

riversident@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, "King Agrippa and all present here with us, you see this man against whom all the multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

riversident@Acts:25:25 @ But I understood that he had done nothing worthy of death, and when he himself had appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

riversident@Acts:25:26 @ Concerning him I have nothing certain to write to my Lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that after an examination I may have something to write.

riversident@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable in sending a prisoner not to specify the charges against him."

riversident@Acts:26:1 @ AGRIPPA said to Paul, "You are at liberty to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:

riversident@Acts:26:2 @ "In regard to all of the things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that I am to make my defense to-day before you,

riversident@Acts:26:5 @ They knew me from long ago, if they were willing to testify, and that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

riversident@Acts:26:9 @ I thought with myself that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

riversident@Acts:26:19 @ After that, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

riversident@Acts:26:20 @ but first to the people in Damascus and then to the people of Jerusalem and through all the land of Judaea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God and do deeds suitable for a change of heart.

riversident@Acts:26:22 @ But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be,

riversident@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:26:26 @ The King knows about this, and to him I speak with perfect frankness, for I am persuaded that not one of these things has escaped his attention, for this has not been done in a corner.

riversident@Acts:26:27 @ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe them."

riversident@Acts:26:29 @ Paul said, "I would to God that whether with little or with much, not only you, but all who hear me this day, would become such as I am \'97 except for these chains."

riversident@Acts:26:30 @ Then the King rose and the Governor and Bernice and those who had been sitting with them,

riversident@Acts:26:31 @ and after withdrawing they said to one another, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."

riversident@Acts:27:1 @ WHEN it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they committed Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of an imperial battalion.

riversident@Acts:27:8 @ and with difficulty got past it and came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

riversident@Acts:27:9 @ When much time had passed and sailing was now dangerous because it was already after the Fast, Paul addressed them.

riversident@Acts:27:10 @ "Men," he said, "I see that the voyage is going to be rough and with much loss not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives."

riversident@Acts:27:11 @ But the Centurion listened more to the sailing master and the ship owner than to what Paul said,

riversident@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbor was not convenient to winter in, the majority adopted the purpose of sailing away on the chance of being able to reach Phoenix and winter there. Phoenix is a harbor of Crete facing the southwest and the northwest.

riversident@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, thinking that they had secured their purpose, they weighed anchor and coasted along Crete.

riversident@Acts:27:17 @ When we had got it in, we used ropes to undergird the ship. Fearing that we might get stranded on the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so drifted.

riversident@Acts:27:18 @ So violently were we battered by the storm that on the next day they lightened the ship

riversident@Acts:27:19 @ and on the third day with their own hands they threw over the ship's tackle.

riversident@Acts:27:21 @ After they had long gone without food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, "Men, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed away from Crete and met this rough experience and loss.

riversident@Acts:27:22 @ But now I beg you to have courage, for there will be no loss of life of any of you, but only of the ship.

riversident@Acts:27:24 @ and said, 'Never fear, Paul! You must stand before Caesar. And now God has granted to you all the men who are sailing with you.'

riversident@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven through the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors surmised that land was getting near.

riversident@Acts:27:29 @ Then fearing that they might run into rocky places, they cast out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

riversident@Acts:27:33 @ Until day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take food. He said, "To-day is the fourteenth day that you have been on the watch fasting, not taking anything.

riversident@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore, I beg you, take some food. For this is for your safety. Not a hair of the head of any one of you is going to perish."

riversident@Acts:27:35 @ Saying this he took a loaf and gave thanks to God before all and broke it and began to eat.

riversident@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' advice was to kill the prisoners for fear that some one of them might swim out and escape.

riversident@Acts:28:1 @ WHEN we were safe ashore, we found that the island was called Melita.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:4 @ When the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, although he has escaped the sea, Justice does not permit to live."

riversident@Acts:28:5 @ He however shook off the creature into the fire and felt no harm.

riversident@Acts:28:6 @ They kept watching to see him swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after watching a long time and seeing nothing amiss happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:9 @ After this happened, the rest in the island who had infirmities came also and were healed.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Acts:28:15 @ From there the brethren, when they got news of us, came to meet us as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Taverns. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

riversident@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he invited the leading men among the Jews, and when they had assembled, he said to them, "Brethren, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was delivered up as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

riversident@Acts:28:18 @ They, after investigating my case, wished to set me free because I had done nothing deserving of death.

riversident@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I have any charge to bring against my own nation.

riversident@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason I have invited you to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I have this chain around me."

riversident@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, "We on our part have received no letters about you from Judaea nor has any one of the brethren come and reported or spoken anything evil of you.

riversident@Acts:28:22 @ We think it well to hear from you what your views are; for as to this sect we know that it is everywhere spoken against."

riversident@Acts:28:24 @ Some were persuaded by what he said and some did not believe.

riversident@Acts:28:25 @ They dispersed, disagreeing with one another, after Paul had said one word, "Well said the Holy Spirit through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,

riversident@Acts:28:27 @ For the heart of this people has grown fat and with their ears they are hard of hearing and their eyes they have shut, so that they may never see with their eyes nor hear with their ears nor understand with their heart and repent, so that I may heal them.'

riversident@Acts:28:28 @ Therefore be it known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They will listen."

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

riversident@Romans:1:13 @ I am not willing that you should be ignorant, brethren, that often I have purposed to come to you (note:)though until now I have been hindered(:note), in order that I might have some fruit among you as among the other Gentiles.

riversident@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the good news. It is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

riversident@Romans:1:17 @ For a righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Romans:1:19 @ Because what may be known of God is manifest within them, for God has manifested it to them.

riversident@Romans:1:20 @ For God's invisible qualities \'97 his everlasting power and deity \'97 are, since the creation of the world, clearly seen, being known from what he has made. So they are without any excuse.

riversident@Romans:1:21 @ For although they knew God they did not glorify him as God and did not give him thanks, but fell into futile speculations and their stupid hearts were darkened.

riversident@Romans:1:23 @ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into images of mortal man, and of birds and beasts and reptiles.

riversident@Romans:1:25 @ They changed the truth of God into a lie, and reverenced and paid worship to the creature rather than to the Creator \'97 who is blessed forever, Amen!

riversident@Romans:1:26 @ Therefore God gave them over to disgraceful passions. For their females changed the natural use for one contrary to nature,

riversident@Romans:1:28 @ And as they did not think fit to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them over to an abandoned mind, to do the things that are shameful,

riversident@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

riversident@Romans:1:32 @ They know the just judgment of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, yet they not only do them themselves, but are pleased with those who practice them.

riversident@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who practice such things.

riversident@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, you who judge those who practice such things while you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God is calling you to a change of heart?

riversident@Romans:2:5 @ Are you with a hard and unrepentant heart treasuring for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and for the revelation of the just judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:9 @ Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:11 @ For God has no partiality.

riversident@Romans:2:12 @ As many as have sinned without a law will perish without a law, and as many as have sinned under law will be judged by law

riversident@Romans:2:14 @ for when Gentiles who have no law do by nature what the Law enjoins, these, although they have no law, are a law to themselves;

riversident@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and are a judge of things that differ, because you have been taught out of the Law

riversident@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

riversident@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the unwise, a teacher of the simple, because you have the form of knowledge and of truth in the Law \'97

riversident@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision has value if you obey the Law. But if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

riversident@Romans:2:26 @ If an uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?

riversident@Romans:2:28 @ For it is not he who is one outwardly that is a Jew, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh.

riversident@Romans:3:1 @ WHAT then is the advantage of the Jew, or what is the benefit of circumcision?

riversident@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some were faithless, will their faithlessness prevent the faithfulness of God?

riversident@Romans:3:4 @ Never. Let God be true, but every man a liar, as it is written, "That thou mayest be proved right in thy words and triumph when thou art judged."

riversident@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness shows the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous when he inflicts his wrath? (note:)I am speaking humanly.(:note)

riversident@Romans:3:7 @ But if the truth of God has become more abundant to his glory through my lie, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

riversident@Romans:3:8 @ We are not going to say, as some people slanderously affirm that we say, "Let us do evil that good may come," are we? The condemnation of such people is just.

riversident@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Have we an advantage? Not at all. We have already brought the charge against both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin,

riversident@Romans:3:11 @ there is none that seeks God.

riversident@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned away; together they have become worthless; there is none who does what is useful, not even one.

riversident@Romans:3:19 @ We know that all that the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world may come under the condemnation of God.

riversident@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, confirmed by the Law and the Prophets \'97

riversident@Romans:3:23 @ All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:3:24 @ All are pronounced righteous by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:3:25 @ whom God has set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith, for the manifestation of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previous sins in the forbearance of God \'97

riversident@Romans:3:26 @ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

riversident@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? That of works? No, but by the law of faith.

riversident@Romans:3:28 @ For we reason that a man is pronounced righteous by faith aside from works of law.

riversident@Romans:4:1 @ WHAT then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, experienced?

riversident@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was pronounced righteous because of works, he had something to boast of. But he had nothing before God;

riversident@Romans:4:3 @ for what says the Scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are they whose lawless acts have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over.

riversident@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not charge up to him."

riversident@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness come to the circumcision, or also to the uncircumcision? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them;

riversident@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of the circumcised, that is, of those who are not only circumcised, but who walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while uncircumcised.

riversident@Romans:4:13 @ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us

riversident@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be";

riversident@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.

riversident@Romans:4:23 @ It was not written for his sake only, that it was credited to him,

riversident@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up on account of our sins and was raised again that we might be accounted righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:1 @ SO then, since we have been accounted righteous by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:3 @ Not only so, but we also exult in trials, knowing that trial develops endurance,

riversident@Romans:5:4 @ and endurance develops a tested character, and a tested character develops hope,

riversident@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.

riversident@Romans:5:7 @ Hardly for a righteous man will any one die. For a good man some one perhaps may dare to die.

riversident@Romans:5:8 @ But God shows his own love to us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

riversident@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, now that we have been pronounced righteous through his blood, shall we be saved from wrath by him.

riversident@Romans:5:10 @ For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

riversident@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained the reconciliation.

riversident@Romans:5:13 @ for down to the time of the Law sin was in the world, and yet sin is not charged where there is no law;

riversident@Romans:5:14 @ but death reigned from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned like Adam, who is the type of him who was coming.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:20 @ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still,

riversident@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@Romans:6:1 @ WHAT shall we say then? Shall we remain in sin so that grace may be great?

riversident@Romans:6:2 @ Never. How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

riversident@Romans:6:3 @ Are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

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

riversident@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have grown into union with him by the likeness of his death, surely we shall be united with him by the likeness of his resurrection.

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:7 @ For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.

riversident@Romans:6:8 @ But if we died with Christ we believe that we shall live with him,

riversident@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, after being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no more reigns over him.

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

riversident@Romans:6:12 @ Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you will obey its lusts,

riversident@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not be king over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.

riversident@Romans:6:15 @ What then? May we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Never.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

riversident@Romans:6:17 @ Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then? Fruit of which you are now ashamed; for the end of those things is death.

riversident@Romans:6:22 @ But now freed from sin and having become servants of God you have your fruit in holy living and its outcome, life eternal.

riversident@Romans:7:1 @ ARE you ignorant, brethren, for I am speaking to those who know law, that the Law rules over a person while he is living?

riversident@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

riversident@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Never. But I should not have come to know sin except through the Law. I should not have known lust if the Law had not said, "Thou shalt not lust."

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

riversident@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

riversident@Romans:7:15 @ For what I am doing I do not understand. For not what I choose is what I practice, but what I hate, this I do.

riversident@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do what I do not choose, I agree with the law that it is right.

riversident@Romans:7:17 @ And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

riversident@Romans:7:21 @ I find then this rule, when I choose to do the right, that evil is present with me.

riversident@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me from this body of death?

riversident@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then I myself with my mind serve the Law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteousness required by the Law might be fulfilled in us who live not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:5 @ For those who are living according to the flesh have their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the spirit have their minds on the things of the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirits that we are children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:17 @ And if children, we are also heirs \'97 heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ, since we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all the creation groans in the pangs of childbirth until now.

riversident@Romans:8:23 @ And not the creation alone, but we ourselves also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves in expectation of the sonship, the liberation of our bodies.

riversident@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for what any one sees, why does he hope for?

riversident@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we patiently wait for it.

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

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

riversident@Romans:8:28 @ We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

riversident@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

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

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

riversident@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? God pronounces them righteous.

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall trial or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

riversident@Romans:8:37 @ On the contrary, in all these we more than conquer through him who loved us.

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

riversident@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart.

riversident@Romans:9:6 @ Not that God's word has failed. For not all who are of Israel are Israel;

riversident@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but "through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

riversident@Romans:9:8 @ That is, not the physical descendants are children, but the children of the promise are counted for descendants.

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

riversident@Romans:9:13 @ In the same way it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

riversident@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness on God's part? Never.

riversident@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

riversident@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up in order to show my power upon you and to have my name proclaimed in all the earth."

riversident@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy on whom he chooses and he hardens whom he chooses.

riversident@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has opposed his will?"

riversident@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, who are answering back to God? Does the thing that is moulded say to the moulder, "Why have you made me so?"

riversident@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

riversident@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to exhibit his wrath and to make known what he can do, bore in long patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

riversident@Romans:9:23 @ and in order to make known the richness of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had prepared for glory

riversident@Romans:9:25 @ As also he says in Hosea, "Those who are not my people I will call my people, and her who has not been beloved I will call beloved,

riversident@Romans:9:26 @ and in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

riversident@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah."

riversident@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

riversident@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone,

riversident@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not an intelligent one.

riversident@Romans:10:3 @ For, ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

riversident@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes that he who does the righteousness of the Law shall live by it.

riversident@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down \'97 "

riversident@Romans:10:7 @ or, 'Who shall descend into the abyss?' " \'97 that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.

riversident@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" \'97 that is, the word of faith which we are proclaiming,

riversident@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

riversident@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without some one to proclaim him?

riversident@Romans:10:15 @ How shall they proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

riversident@Romans:10:16 @ But have not all heard the good news? For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

riversident@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

riversident@Romans:10:19 @ I say, it cannot be that Israel did not know, can it? First Moses says, "I will excite you to jealousy by what is not a nation and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to anger."

riversident@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched forth my hands to a people who disobey and answer back."

riversident@Romans:11:1 @ I SAY then, can it be that God has repudiated his people? Never. For I am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

riversident@Romans:11:2 @ God has not repudiated his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story of Elijah, how he prays to God against Israel?

riversident@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets: they have demolished thy altars, and I only am left and they are seeking my life."

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not found what it is seeking, but the chosen have found it. And the rest have been made dull,

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:29 @ God never changes his mind about his gifts and his call.

riversident@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, but now have found mercy through their disobedience,

riversident@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in your time of mercy, that they too may now obtain mercy.

riversident@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

riversident@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the wealth both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, how untraceable his ways!

riversident@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counsellor?

riversident@Romans:12:2 @ Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

riversident@Romans:12:3 @ Through the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought, but to think so as to become wise, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

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

riversident@Romans:12:6 @ Having gifts differing according to the grace given to us, if it is prophecy, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith;

riversident@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be without pretense. Abhor what is evil; cling to the good.

riversident@Romans:12:10 @ Have brotherly love toward one another like family affection, in honor preferring one another,

riversident@Romans:12:16 @ Be in harmony with one another. Do not be thinking of high things, but be content with humble things. Do not become conceited.

riversident@Romans:12:17 @ Repay to no one evil for evil. Aim at what is honorable in the sight of all men.

riversident@Romans:13:1 @ LET every person be obedient to the superior authorities. For there is no authority except from God and the actual authorities have been appointed by God.

riversident@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good deeds, but to bad. Do you wish not to fear the authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from it.

riversident@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another. He who loves the other has fulfilled the Law.

riversident@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not commit murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and any other that there may be, are summed up in this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

riversident@Romans:13:11 @ Live thus because you know this crisis, for it is already time for you to awake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

riversident@Romans:14:3 @ The man who eats is not to despise the one who does not eat, and he who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats. For God has accepted him.

riversident@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day regards it to the Lord and he who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

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

riversident@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you treat your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

riversident@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

riversident@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us shall give account for himself to God.

riversident@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiling in itself. But to one who thinks anything to be defiling it is defiling.

riversident@Romans:14:16 @ Do not let what is good to you be spoken of as evil.

riversident@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us seek for what makes for peace and our mutual upbuilding.

riversident@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, have to yourself before God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself for what he allows himself.

riversident@Romans:14:23 @ He who has doubts and still eats stands condemned, because he is not acting from faith. But whatever does not spring from faith is sin.

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

riversident@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ became a servant of circumcision for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers

riversident@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this will I confess thee among the Gentiles and sing to thy name."

riversident@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit!

riversident@Romans:15:14 @ I am persuaded, my brethren \'97 yes, I myself \'97 regarding you, that you are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able to instruct one another.

riversident@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written rather boldly to you, partly to remind you, because of the grace given to me from God,

riversident@Romans:15:16 @ that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in priestly service of the good news of God, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak except of what Christ has done through me to promote obedience of Gentiles, by word and deed,

riversident@Romans:15:19 @ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

riversident@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They who have had no message of him shall see and they who have not heard shall understand."

riversident@Romans:15:22 @ This is why I have been so much hindered in coming to you.

riversident@Romans:15:23 @ But now having no more territory in these regions and having for many years had a strong desire to come to you

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

riversident@Romans:15:27 @ They have been pleased to do this and indeed they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared their things of the spirit, they owe them sacred service in things of the body.

riversident@Romans:15:28 @ So after completing this and sealing to them this fruit, I shall come away and pass by you to Spain.

riversident@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you it will be in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:30 @ I beg you, brethren, for the sake of our Lord Jesus and the love of the Spirit to join me in wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed with you.

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:4 @ who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not I alone give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

riversident@Romans:16:6 @ Give my greetings to Mary, who has worked hard for you.

riversident@Romans:16:10 @ Give my greetings to Apelles, that tested man in Christ. Give my greetings to the household of Aristobulus.

riversident@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Give my greetings to Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has come to the knowledge of all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I wish you to be wise regarding what is good, and simple in regard to what is evil.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you are rich in him in everything, in readiness of speech and in all knowledge,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:6 @ so that my testimony to Christ has been confirmed among you

riversident@1Corinthians:1:7 @ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been told me regarding you, brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ."

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news \'97 not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For God's foolishness is wiser than men and God's weakness is stronger than men.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:26 @ Consider your own call, brethren, that not many wise, humanly speaking, not many powerful, not many high-born have been called.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no human being may boast in God's presence.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:30 @ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world knew it, for if they had known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:10 @ To us God has revealed this by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we know the gracious gifts of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will teach him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:12 @ If any one builds on this foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, straw \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any one has built stands he will get a reward.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'97 all are yours

riversident@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover, in the case of stewards it is required that a man be found faithful.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I am not conscious of any wrong, but I am not proved by that to be faultless. The Lord is my judge.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge anything before the time, before the Lord comes. He will throw light on the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the purposes of hearts. Then each one will have his praise from God.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:6 @ All this, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sake, that you may learn the maxim, "Nothing beyond what is written," and may not be puffed up in partisanship for one against the other.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who gives you superiority? What have you that you did not receive? Why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

riversident@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already fully satisfied. You have already become rich. You have become kings without us. Would that you had become kings so that we might be kings with you!

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you have glory, but we are despised.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and labor, working with our own hands. When abused we bless, when persecuted we endure it,

riversident@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered we entreat. We have come to be, as it were, the sweepings of the world, the riffraff of all things up to now.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this very purpose I have sent to you Timothy, who is my loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ \'97 how I teach everywhere in every church.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some persons have become puffed up, thinking that I am not coming to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you wish? Shall I come with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up with pride and have not rather grieved and taken steps to expel from among you the doer of this deed!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already as if I were present judged the man who has acted thus.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I decided to deliver over such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is unbecoming. Do you not know that a little yeast sets the whole mass fermenting?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old yeast that you may be new dough, free from yeast, as indeed you are. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with unchaste people,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to associate with any one who is called a brother, if he is unchaste or covetous or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or extortionate \'97 not even to eat with such a one.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those inside?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy are going to judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unfit for the most trivial cases?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to judge angels, to say nothing of affairs of this life?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have affairs of this life, do you ask men who in the view of the church count for nothing to sit as judges?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it true that there is among you no one wise enough to judge between a man and his brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law with brother and that before unbelievers?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now this is an utter failure on your part that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves practice wrongs and frauds \'97 and that upon your brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake, neither the unchaste, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who practice unnatural vices,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will end the function of one and the other. The body is not for unchastity, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

riversident@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who unites himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For God says, "The two shall become one flesh."

riversident@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Shun unchastity. Every other sin that a man does is apart from the body, but the unchaste sins against his own body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they lack self-control, let them marry. It is better to marry than to burn.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I command \'97 yet not I, but the Lord \'97 that the wife is not to leave her husband

riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one actually leaves, let him leave. The brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God has called you to peace.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But, as the Lord has allotted to each, let each go on living as when God called him. So I prescribe in all the churches.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each stay in that condition in which he was called.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman. Just so the free man, when called, is the slave of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Let each one, brethren, stay in that condition in which he was called, close to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that this is an excellent thing on account of the present distress \'97 that it is an excellent thing for a person to be unmarried.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Have you been bound to a wife? Seek not release. Have you been freed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin, if she is ripe for marriage and there is need, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:37 @ He who stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has power over his own will and has decided in his heart to keep his virgin, will do well.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my opinion she is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:1 @ NOW as to things that have been sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one think; that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Regarding the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But be careful that this power of yours may not become a stumbling block to the weak.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of that weak one be emboldened to eat things that have been sacrificed to idols?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:1 @ AM I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have we not the right to eat and drink?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not the right to take about with us a sister as wife, as the rest of the apostles do and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For in the Law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain." Is God thinking of the oxen?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:10 @ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this right over you, do not we still more? But we have not used this right. No, we endure all things in order not to cause any hindrance to the good news of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So the Lord has directed that those who proclaim the good news shall have their living from the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For although I tell the good news I have nothing to boast of. For a necessity is laid upon me. Alas for me if I do not tell the good news!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:17 @ If I do it voluntarily I have a reward, but if reluctantly, I have been charged with a responsibility.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That in telling the good news I make the good news free, and do not take full advantage of my rights in the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all I have enslaved myself to all that I may gain the more.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all things for the sake of the good news that I may become a partner with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a stadium all run, yet one gets the prize? Run so as to win.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:6 @ These things happened as warnings for us, that we may not be eager for evil things as they were eager.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us be unchaste, as some of them were and twenty-three thousand fell dead in one day.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to those people as warnings and they were written for the instruction of us to whom the closing events of the ages have come.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:12 @ So let him who thinks that he is standing beware of falling.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to thoughtful men. Judge for yourselves what I am saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then am I saying? That meat sacrificed to idols is anything or that an idol is anything?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But I say that what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I would not have you become partakers with demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Or are we arousing the jealousy of the Lord? Are we stronger than he?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:23 @ All things are lawful, but not all are beneficial. All things are lawful, but not all build up character.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Everything that is sold in market eat, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore, if you eat or if you drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:33 @ as I also in all things accommodate myself to all men, not seeking my own interest but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman is not covered, then let her cut off her hair. But if it is a shame to a woman to cut off her hair or to shave, let her veil herself.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature herself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

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

riversident@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one cares to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be parties among you in order that it may become plain who are worthy of approval.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks he broke it and said,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that your assembling may not bring condemnation on you. The other matters I will arrange when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:2 @ For you know that when you were Gentiles you were led away after the dumb idols just as might happen.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:7 @ To each one is given some manifestation of the Spirit for what is profitable.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body as he pleased.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," or the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

riversident@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Indeed, much more those members of the body that seem to be the weaker are necessary,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those that we deem the less honorable parts of the body we surround with greater honor and our uncomely parts have additional dignity,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our comely parts have no need. But God has organized the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have a common concern for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. Since I have become a man, I have no use for childish things.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For as yet we are looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then face to face. As yet I know in part, but then I shall know fully, as I have been fully known.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men what will build up, encourage, and comfort.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all to speak with tongues, but I wish more to have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may receive upbuilding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what benefit will I be to you unless I speak to you in a revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Inanimate things that give a sound, such as the flute or harp, \'97 unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being played on flute or harp?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him who is speaking, and he will be a barbarian to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:12 @ And so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, seek to abound in what will build up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with the spirit and with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:16 @ If you thank God with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the ordinary man say Amen to your thanksgiving? For he does not know what you are saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:17 @ You give thanks excellently, but the other is not helped by it.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak with tongues more than any of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others, than to speak ten thousand words in a tongue.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so falling on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you assemble each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for the upbuilding of character.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am writing to you is the command of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast the message that I announced to you, unless your faith was thoughtless.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:6 @ then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most are still living, but some have fallen asleep,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed \'97 that he has been raised from the dead \'97 how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:14 @ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For "he subjected all things under his feet." But when it says, "all things have been subjected," it is plain that it means all things except God who subjected all things to him.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Then what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are they then baptized for them?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Return to soberness and cease to sin, for some are ignorant of God. I say it to your shame.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Thoughtless man! What you yourself sow does not come to life unless it dies.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has pleased, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also will be the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay; it is raised imperishable.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I am telling you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be transformed,

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

riversident@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this perishable must clothe itself with imperishability, and this mortal must clothe itself with immortality.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has fitted us to be servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If the service that brought death, engraved in letters on stones, came in glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face \'97 that fading glory \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service that brought condemnation was glory, much more will the service that brings righteousness surpass in glory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For what was made so glorious is in a way no longer glorious compared with the glory that surpasses it.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was to be ended came in glory, much more glorious must be that which is enduring.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:13 @ and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel might not see when the vanishing glory ended;

riversident@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same likeness from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:1 @ THEREFORE, having this service through God's mercy, we are not downhearted,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:2 @ but we have renounced shameful secret things, not living in craftiness nor adulterating God's message, but by the openness of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thinking of the unbelieving so that the light of the glorious good news of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine in.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:6 @ Because it is the God who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts bringing the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen jars, that the surpassing power may be God's and not ours \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always bearing about in our bodies the death of Jesus that the life also of Jesus may be manifest in our bodies.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, though living, are always delivered up to death for Jesus' sake, that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Having the same spirit of faith, as it is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we too believe and therefore speak,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and place us in his presence with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sake, that grace abounding through many may overflow in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we contemplate not the things that are seen, but the things unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things unseen are eternal.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:1 @ FOR we know that if this tent, our earthly home, is thrown down, we have a building of God, a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we sigh in earnest desire to put on our dwelling that comes from heaven,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:3 @ since if we put that on we shall not be found naked.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent we sigh being burdened, not that we wish to be unclothed, but to put on the other, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, and he has given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So being always of good courage and knowing that while living at home in the body we are living in a foreign land away from the Lord \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we are persuading men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope that it is also plain to your consciences.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves again to you, but giving occasion to you for boasting on our behalf, that you may have it to use against those who boast of appearances and not of heart.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ impels us, convinced of this, that if one died for all, then all died,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and he died for all that the living may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So we, from now on, know no man according to the flesh. Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:19 @ to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing to you through us. We pray you on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin God made sin for our sake that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no occasion for stumbling to any one that our service may not be blamed,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but in everything we commend ourselves as God's servants in great patience, in distresses, in necessities, in hardships,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:7 @ with the message of truth, with the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and the left,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and shame, by slander and praise; as deceivers yet true,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown yet well known, as dying and yet we are living, as chastised yet not put to death,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet owning all things.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked up, like unmatched animals, with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:15 @ or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what share has a believer with an unbeliever?

riversident@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and will be a Father to you and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord, the Ruler of all."

riversident@2Corinthians:7:1 @ HAVING then these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every defilement of flesh or spirit, in reverence for God making our holiness complete.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one; we have injured no one; we have taken advantage of no one.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you, for I have already said that you have such a place in our hearts that we are ready to die with you or to live with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For since we came to Macedonia our flesh has had no rest, but we have been distressed in every way, conflicts without, fears within.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I grieved you in my letter I do not regret it, though I did regret it, seeing that that letter grieved you even for a time,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:9 @ but I am glad now, not that you were grieved, but that your grief led to a change of heart. You were grieved as God approves so that you should in nothing suffer loss from us.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnestness for us might be made plain to you before God.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if I have made any boast regarding you I have not been put to shame, but as we spoke everything in truth to you so our boasting over Titus turned out the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:2 @ that in a great trial of distress their abundant joy and their deep poverty have abounded in the wealth of their liberality.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first the readiness, a gift is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others shall have relief and you shall have trouble,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by equality at the present time your abundance may supply their need so that their abundance may come at your need \'97 that there may be equality,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack."

riversident@2Corinthians:8:16 @ Thanks be to God who puts into the heart of Titus the same interest in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we are sending the brother whose praise for service to the good news has spread through all the churches,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We are taking care that no one shall blame us for our administration of this bountiful fund,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We are sending along with them also our brother whose earnestness we have tested many times in many ways, and who is now especially earnest because of his great confidence in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:3 @ I am sending the brethren that our boasting about you may not be proved in this matter an empty boast, so that you may be ready as I have said,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:4 @ and if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to say you, may not be made ashamed of this confidence.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I think it necessary to urge the brethren to go on in advance to you and prepare before-hand your promised gift, that it may be ready as a gift and not as if extorted.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Let each give as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly nor of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:8 @ God is able to make every blessing abound for you so that having in everything always all that you need, you may abound in every good work,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in everything so that you will have all liberality which through our agency causes thanksgiving to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the performance of this sacred service not only supplies the needs of the holy, but also overflows to God in many thanksgivings.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:14 @ In their prayers in your behalf they pour out their longing love for you because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We overthrow reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought into obedience to Christ

riversident@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is right before your eyes. If any one is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this regarding himself, that just as he belongs to Christ so also do we.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For if I boast somewhat excessively of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be ashamed.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a person consider this, that what we are in words by letters when absent such we will be in deeds when present.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the measuring rod which God assigned to us, and that reaches as far as you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows we may have larger influence among you according to our measure and beyond,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may tell the good news to the regions lying beyond you and not boast of things already done in some other man's territory.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:1 @ O THAT you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Yes, bear with me.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led away from sincerity and purity toward Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I consider that I am in nothing inferior to the most eminent apostles.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:6 @ If I am an ordinary man in speaking, still I am not in knowledge, but in everything we made that altogether clear to you.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin when I humbled myself that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you the good news of God without pay?

riversident@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was with you and in need I was not a burden to any one, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my need. In every way I kept myself from being a burden to you, and shall keep myself so.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be stopped in the region of Achaia.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I am doing I shall do so as to cut away all ground of attack from those who wish ground, and that in what they boast of they may be found just like us.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me foolish. But, even if so, receive me as foolish, that I too may boast a little.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying by the Lord's command, but as it were in foolishness, in this confident boasting.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say it with shame as if we had been weak. But in whatever any one is bold (note:)I say it foolishly(:note) I too am bold.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descended from Abraham? So am I.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:25 @ three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was ship-wrecked, a night and day I have been in the deep;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Aside, from other things there is that which weighs on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If there must be boasting, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I am not lying.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:33 @ and through a window I was lowered in a basket and escaped from his hands.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for man to speak.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Even if I choose to boast I shall not be foolish, for I shall speak the truth. But I guard myself that no one may think of me beyond what he sees me to be, or hears from me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and because of the surpassing nature of the revelations. For this reason, that I should not be puffed up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to torment me, so that I should not be puffed up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Regarding this I three times begged the Lord that it might leave me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he has said to me, Most gladly then will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may abide upon me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become foolish; you made me. For I ought to have been recommended by you. For in nothing have I been inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am nothing.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now this third time I am ready to come to you, and I shall not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up money for the parents, but the parents for the children.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:16 @ Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you. But being crafty I caught you with cunning?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Are you thinking all this while that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking before God in Christ. All this, beloved, is to build you up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and I myself may not be found by you such as you wish. I am afraid that there may be strife, jealousy, anger, rivalry, slanders, whisperings, conceit, disorders.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God may humble me in your presence, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have been long sinning and have not repented of the impurity and unchastity and sensuality which they have practiced.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:1 @ THIS third time I am coming to you. "By the evidence of two witnesses, or three, every matter shall be proved."

riversident@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who have been long sinning and all the rest I have forewarned and now forewarn, when I was present with you the second time and now when absent, that if I come again I shall not spare;

riversident@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you are eager to have a test of Christ speaking in me. He is not weak toward you, but powerful among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:4 @ He was crucified in weakness, but he is living by the power of God. And we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves whether you are in the faith, put yourselves to the proof. Are you not conscious that Jesus Christ is in you? He is, unless you cannot stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope that you know that we are not unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:7 @ I pray to God that you may do nothing evil, not in order that we may seem to stand the test, but in order that you may do the right, though we should seem unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. This we are praying for, your all-round character.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while absent, so that when present I may not act with severity in the use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, not for pulling you down.

riversident@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly changing over from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different kind of good news,

riversident@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should bring you any good news different from what we did bring you, let him be accursed!

riversident@Galatians:1:9 @ As I said before, I say now again, if any one brings you good news different from what you have received, let him be accursed!

riversident@Galatians:1:11 @ For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

riversident@Galatians:1:14 @ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

riversident@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:20 @ In what I am writing to you, before God I am not lying.

riversident@Galatians:1:23 @ Only they had heard that "he who used to persecute us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once made havoc,"

riversident@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation, and I stated to them the good news which I proclaim among the Gentiles. But I did this privately before those who were most esteemed, that I might not be running, or have run, to no Purpose.

riversident@Galatians:2:4 @ though it was suggested on account of false brethren who had been brought in, who had crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

riversident@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not yield in subjection to them even for an hour, that the truth of the good news might continue with you.

riversident@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were esteemed to be something \'97 whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not regard the social standing of a man \'97 those who were most esteemed did not impart to me anything additional.

riversident@Galatians:2:7 @ But, on the contrary, seeing that I was entrusted with the good news for the uncircumcision as Peter was for the circumcision,

riversident@Galatians:2:8 @ for he who had worked in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcision had worked in me for the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had been justly censured.

riversident@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

riversident@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I am building up again what I pulled down, I show myself as a transgressor.

riversident@Galatians:2:19 @ For I through law died to law that I might live to God.

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

riversident@Galatians:3:1 @ O THOUGHTLESS Galatians, who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was pictured crucified?

riversident@Galatians:3:2 @ Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

riversident@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you suffered such things to no purpose? \'97 if it is to no purpose.

riversident@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

riversident@Galatians:3:7 @ You know, then, that those who are of faith \'97 they are children of Abraham.

riversident@Galatians:3:8 @ For the Scripture, foreseeing that God would declare the Gentiles righteous because of faith, announced the good news in advance to Abraham, "In you all the Gentiles will be blessed."

riversident@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

riversident@Galatians:3:11 @ But that by law no one is declared righteous before God is plain, because, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Galatians:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith, but "He who does these things shall live by them."

riversident@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree,"

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise. But God granted it to Abraham by promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:23 @ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed.

riversident@Galatians:3:24 @ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

riversident@Galatians:3:27 @ All who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:29 @ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:1 @ I SAY that as long as the heir is under age he differs in nothing from a slave, though he be owner of all.

riversident@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under Law, that we might receive the recognition as sons.

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

riversident@Galatians:4:8 @ At the time when you did not know God you were enslaved to what by nature are not gods.

riversident@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how are you turning back to the weak and beggarly elementary lessons to which you wish to be slaves again?

riversident@Galatians:4:11 @ You make me afraid that I have labored over you uselessly.

riversident@Galatians:4:12 @ Become like me, brethren, I beg of you, for I became like you. You have not wronged me in anything.

riversident@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of weakness of the flesh I told you the good news at first.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

riversident@Galatians:4:17 @ They are paying court to you, but not honorably. No, they wish to shut you out, so that you may pay court to them.

riversident@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I could be present with you now and could change my tone, for I am at a loss about you.

riversident@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one born of the slave girl and one born of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:4:24 @ This is an allegory. For these women are the two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. This is Hagar.

riversident@Galatians:4:25 @ Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She represents the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:5:2 @ See, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

riversident@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to carry out the whole Law.

riversident@Galatians:5:4 @ You have put an end to Christ's work for you, you who are declared righteous by law; you have fallen away from grace.

riversident@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither has circumcision any value nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

riversident@Galatians:5:10 @ I am persuaded in regard to you in the Lord that you will have no other mind. He who is troubling you must bear his condemnation, whoever he may be.

riversident@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brethren, if I am still proclaiming circumcision, why am I persecuted? Then the offensiveness of the cross has been done away.

riversident@Galatians:5:12 @ Would that those who are troubling you would even cut off all!

riversident@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is summed up in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

riversident@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not destroyed by one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:19 @ The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,

riversident@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, magic, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalries, dissensions, factions,

riversident@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:6:3 @ If any one thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

riversident@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another.

riversident@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the message share with his teacher in all good things.

riversident@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked; what a man sows that he will also reap.

riversident@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not grow discouraged in doing what is noble, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow faint.

riversident@Galatians:6:10 @ So then as we have opportunity let us work for the good of all men, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

riversident@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what great letters I write with my own hand.

riversident@Galatians:6:12 @ All who wish to make a fair show in the flesh are trying to compel you to receive circumcision, but only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly heights in Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:1:7 @ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the wealth of his loving kindness

riversident@Ephesians:1:9 @ He has made known to us the mystery of his will according to his grace which he purposed in him

riversident@Ephesians:1:12 @ and we were made God's heritage in order that we might bring praise to his glory \'97 we who first have fixed our hope on Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:1:16 @ never cease giving thanks for you when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Ephesians:1:18 @ enlightening the eyes of your heart, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the glorious wealth of his inheritance in the holy,

riversident@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the inworking of his vast might,

riversident@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he put forth in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his own right hand in the heavenly heights,

riversident@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above every archangel and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this world but also in the world to come.

riversident@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in misdeeds, made us alive along with Christ \'97 by grace we have been saved \'97

riversident@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, that no one may boast.

riversident@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his work, formed in Christ Jesus for good works in which God had prepared beforehand to have us live.

riversident@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh and were called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,

riversident@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that you were then apart from Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

riversident@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far have become near by the blood of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace. He has made both Jew and Gentile one and has broken down the dividing wall, the enmity.

riversident@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own flesh he has ended the force of the law of commandments in ordinances in order to make the two, in himself, into one new man, thus making peace,

riversident@Ephesians:2:18 @ For through him we, both Jews and Gentiles, have access through one Spirit to the Father.

riversident@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the gracious commission which God has given me to you,

riversident@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery has been disclosed to me, as I wrote before briefly,

riversident@Ephesians:3:4 @ In reading that letter you can learn my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:3:5 @ a mystery which was not disclosed in other generations to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:3:6 @ namely, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the good news,

riversident@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, the least of all the holy, has this grace been given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unsearchable riches of Christ

riversident@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to show what is the working of the mystery which has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things

riversident@Ephesians:3:10 @ in order to disclose now to the archangels and powers in the heavenly heights, through the church, the varied wisdom of God,

riversident@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to the eternal purpose which he has accomplished by Christ Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in him.

riversident@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart because of the distresses that come on me for your sake. They are a high honor to you.

riversident@Ephesians:3:16 @ that he may grant to you according to his glorious wealth to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

riversident@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you, rooted and founded in love,

riversident@Ephesians:3:18 @ may be able with all the holy to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:20 @ To him who is able to do far beyond all we ask or think by the power that works in us,

riversident@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, THE prisoner of the Lord, beg you, then, to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

riversident@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called with one hope that belongs to your calling,

riversident@Ephesians:4:9 @ What does "he ascended" mean, except that he had descended into the lowest parts of the earth?

riversident@Ephesians:4:14 @ Then we shall be no longer children tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching through the trickery of men and craftiness in the devices of deceit,

riversident@Ephesians:4:15 @ but speaking the truth in love we shall grow wholly into him who is the head, Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body framed together and strengthened by what every joint supplies vigorously, in the measure of each, makes growth in building itself up in love.

riversident@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and solemnly protest in the Lord: that you are no longer to live as the Gentiles live in vacancy of mind,

riversident@Ephesians:4:18 @ having their understanding darkened, aliens from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, and because of the hardness of their hearts.

riversident@Ephesians:4:19 @ Lost to any sense of shame they have abandoned themselves to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

riversident@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you have not so learned Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:4:21 @ if you have heard him and have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you should put away the old man who belonged to your former way of life and was perishing in deluding passions,

riversident@Ephesians:4:23 @ and that you should be made new in the spirit of your minds

riversident@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who steals must steal no longer, but rather he must labor, working with his own hands something good, so as to have something to share with any one in need.

riversident@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no vile word come out of your mouth, but, if anything, a good word for needed upbuilding of character to give grace to those who hear.

riversident@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

riversident@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind to one another, sympathetic, forgiving one another just as God in Christ has forgiven you.

riversident@Ephesians:5:3 @ Unchastity or any kind of impurity or greediness must not be mentioned among you, as befits holy people;

riversident@Ephesians:5:4 @ nor should there be indecent and foolish talk or jesting, which are unbecoming, but rather thanksgiving.

riversident@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person \'97 who is an idolater \'97 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

riversident@Ephesians:5:12 @ for the things that they do in secret it is shameful even to speak of.

riversident@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be thoughtless, but understand what is the Lord's will.

riversident@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may tell it fearlessly as I ought.

riversident@Ephesians:6:21 @ That you also may know my situation, what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I am sending to you for this very purpose, will tell you everything, so that you may know the news of me and he may encourage your hearts.

riversident@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God for all your remembrance of me,

riversident@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work in you will carry it on to completion on the day of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:7 @ So it is right for me to think of you all, because you have me in your hearts, and in my chains and in my defense and in establishing the good news you are all sharers in my privilege.

riversident@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all insight,

riversident@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may discriminate between the things that differ, that you may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:12 @ I wish you to know, brethren, that my affairs have turned out rather to the furtherance of the good news,

riversident@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my chains have become well known as for Christ to the whole Praetorian Guard and to all the rest,

riversident@Philippians:1:14 @ and the most of the brethren in the Lord, made confident by my chains, are unusually brave in speaking the message fearlessly.

riversident@Philippians:1:16 @ Some announce Christ from love, knowing that I am placed for the defense of the good news,

riversident@Philippians:1:17 @ but others out of partisanship, thinking to add distress to my chains.

riversident@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Still in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

riversident@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will make for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope that I may be put to shame in nothing, but with all courage, as always, so now Christ may be honored in my body, whether by my life or by my death.

riversident@Philippians:1:22 @ If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful work for me. I know not which to choose.

riversident@Philippians:1:23 @ I am under pressure both ways, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is far better,

riversident@Philippians:1:24 @ yet that I should stay in the flesh is more needful on your account.

riversident@Philippians:1:25 @ And this I confidently know, that I shall stay and stay near you all for your advancement and joy of faith,

riversident@Philippians:1:26 @ that your exultation in Christ Jesus may overflow on my account, because of my presence again with you.

riversident@Philippians:1:27 @ Only exercise your citizenship in a manner worthy of the good news of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or in absence hear news of you, I may know that you are standing in one spirit, with one mind wrestling in the faith of the good news

riversident@Philippians:1:28 @ and not frightened in anything by your adversaries, which for them is a sign of ruin, but for you of salvation, and that from God;

riversident@Philippians:1:29 @ because it has been graciously allowed you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for his sake,

riversident@Philippians:1:30 @ and you have the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear of in me.

riversident@Philippians:2:2 @ fill up my joy by having the same love, being of the same mind, thinking the same thing,

riversident@Philippians:2:3 @ doing nothing in a partisan or vainglorious way, but each modestly regarding the others as of more account than himself.

riversident@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not think that equality with God was something to be grasped,

riversident@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore, God has highly exalted him and has graciously given him the name which is above every name,

riversident@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

riversident@Philippians:2:12 @ So then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with reverence and awe.

riversident@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world,

riversident@Philippians:2:16 @ holding forth the message of life, so that on the day of Christ I can boast that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

riversident@Philippians:2:17 @ But if I am poured out as a libation on your sacrificial offering of faith, I rejoice and share the joy of you all.

riversident@Philippians:2:18 @ In the same way you must rejoice and share my joy.

riversident@Philippians:2:19 @ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I may be cheered by knowing about you.

riversident@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him who will so sincerely care for your interests.

riversident@Philippians:2:26 @ since he longs for you all and is troubled because you have heard that he was sick.

riversident@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was sick and near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

riversident@Philippians:2:28 @ I send him the more readily that you may see him and rejoice again and I be less sorrowful.

riversident@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he was near to death, hazarding his life to complete the service you were not here to do for me.

riversident@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, we who worship in the Spirit of God and exult in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

riversident@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and stretching forward to what is in front

riversident@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all who are full grown think in this way. If in anything you think differently, even that God will reveal to you,

riversident@Philippians:3:16 @ but so far as we have attained let us walk in the same path.

riversident@Philippians:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not worry, but in everything by prayer and entreaty with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

riversident@Philippians:4:8 @ To conclude, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is highly spoken of \'97 if there is any virtue or any praise \'97 think of that.

riversident@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length your thoughtfulness for me had revived. You were thoughtful for me all along, but lacked opportunity.

riversident@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I am speaking because of want; for I have learned how to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

riversident@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly and I know how to enjoy abundance. In each and every situation I have been initiated into the secret both of being well fed and of going hungry, both of having abundance and of bearing want.

riversident@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet you did nobly in sharing with me in my distress.

riversident@Philippians:4:15 @ You Philippians know that at the beginning of the good news, when I came away from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only,

riversident@Philippians:4:16 @ and that in Thessalonica you sent once, yes, twice, for my need.

riversident@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I am seeking for the gift, but I am seeking for the fruit that increases to your credit.

riversident@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything and more than enough. I am fully supplied since receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

riversident@Colossians:4:3 @ Pray along with us and for us that God may open for us a door for the message, so that I may tell the mystery of Christ for the sake of which I am in chains \'97

riversident@Colossians:4:4 @ so that I may make it clear, as I ought.

riversident@Colossians:4:5 @ Behave wisely towards outsiders, buying up the opportunity.

riversident@Colossians:4:6 @ Let what you say be always with grace, seasoned with salt. Know how you should answer each one.

riversident@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know my situation and that he may encourage your hearts.

riversident@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (note:)you have received letters about him; if he comes, welcome him(:note),

riversident@Colossians:4:11 @ and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of those who are circumcised are my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

riversident@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, the servant of Christ Jesus, who is one of you, sends his greetings to you. He always wrestles in prayer on your behalf that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

riversident@Colossians:4:13 @ I bear witness to the burden that he carries for you and for those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

riversident@Colossians:4:15 @ Give our greeting to the brethren in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

riversident@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans, and you are to read the letter that will come from Laodicea.

riversident@Colossians:4:17 @ Say to Archippus, See to it that you fully perform the service which you have accepted in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:4:18 @ The greeting of Paul, by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We thank God always for you all when we mention you in our prayers,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ We know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ and that our good news came to you not in word only but in power and in the Holy Spirit and in great assurance, just as you know we acted among you for your benefit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern for all believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For the people themselves are telling about us, what a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ YOU yourselves know, brethren, what a reception we had from you, that it was not without result,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or others, although we could have claimed the dignity of Christ's apostles.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Yearning over you so, we would gladly have imparted to you not only God's good news but our own lives as well, because you had become dear to us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know that just like a father toward his own children we encouraged each one of you, and warned and conjured you

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you became imitators, brethren, of the churches of God that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus, because you too suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen that they did from the Jews,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason we determined to come to you, yes, I, Paul, more than once: but Satan hindered us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one might be disturbed in these trials. For you yourselves know that we are destined to this.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ Therefore, when I could no longer endure the anxiety, I sent to know about your faith for fear that the tempter had tempted you and our labor had gone for nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always keep us well in mind and long to see us, just as we long to see you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ we have been cheered, brethren, in regard to you, in all our straits and distresses by your faith.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For how can we be grateful enough to God for you in view of all the joy we have because of you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while we pray beyond measure night and day that we may see your faces and make good whatever lacks there may be in your faith?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what directions we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ to have each of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God has not called us to live in impurity, but in holiness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Regarding brotherly love you have no need for me to write to you. For you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to be ambitious to lead a quiet life and to mind each his own business and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Thus you will live becomingly in the sight of outsiders and will have need of nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with God's trumpet-call, and first the dead in Christ will rise.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we, the living, who are left, will be caught up along with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall forever be with the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that the day can take you like a thief.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to the winning of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us that whether we are waking or sleeping we may live in company with him.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that no one repays evil with evil, but always seek eagerly what is good in dealing with one another and with every one.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In everything give thanks, for this is God's will in Christ for you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I solemnly charge you in the Lord's name to have this letter read to all the brethren.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, since your faith is growing greatly and the love of each and all of you toward one another is increasing,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God because of your endurance and faith in all of your persecutions and in the distresses you are bearing.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is a proof of God's righteous judgment. It is to make you worthy of God's kingdom, on behalf of which you are suffering,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be wondered at on that day among all believers \'97 for our testimony to you was believed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we are always praying for you that our God will make you worthy of the call, and will by his power bring to completion every one of your kind purposes and works of faith,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come until the Apostasy has first come and the Man of Lawlessness has been revealed \'97 the Son of Perdition,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above everything called God and every object of worship, so that he enters the Temple of God and seats himself there, declaring that he himself is God.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you this?

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining him until he is revealed at his appointed time.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and in every kind of wicked deception of those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends to them a deceptive influence so that they believe a lie,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that all who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness may be condemned.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now then, brethren, stand firm and hold fast the teachings that you have been taught whether by our words or by our letter.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We are persuaded in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing and will do what we direct.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that you should imitate us, for we were not disorderly when among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that we have not the authority, but in order to give you ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ The greeting of Paul by my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is my handwriting.

riversident@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you to stay in Ephesus when I was leaving for Macedonia, that you might charge some not to teach new and strange doctrines

riversident@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than God's plan in the faith, so I beg you now.

riversident@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some missing these have turned aside to empty talk,

riversident@1Timothy:1:7 @ wishing to be teachers of the Law, but not understanding either what they are saying or what the things are that they are so positive about.

riversident@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the Law is excellent, if any one uses it lawfully.

riversident@1Timothy:1:9 @ But we know this: that law is not laid down for a righteous man, but for the lawless and the insubordinate, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

riversident@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the unchaste, for those who practice unnatural vices, for slave-dealers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to wholesome teaching

riversident@1Timothy:1:11 @ such as accords with the glorious good news of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

riversident@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has given me strength, because he thought me faithful and put me into his service,

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:18 @ This command I lay down for you, my child Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies that came in advance regarding you, in order that armed with them you may wage the noble war,

riversident@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding to faith and a good conscience, which some have cast aside and thus made shipwreck of their faith.

riversident@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, that they may learn not to speak profanely.

riversident@1Timothy:2:1 @ I BEG, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings be made in behalf of all men,

riversident@1Timothy:2:2 @ in behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and sobriety.

riversident@1Timothy:2:8 @ I wish, then, that the men offer prayer in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or debate.

riversident@1Timothy:2:9 @ Also that the women adorn themselves in becoming dress modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those who have filled the office of deacon well win for themselves a high standing and great boldness in the faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:3:15 @ but so that if I am delayed you may know how people should conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:4:1 @ THE Spirit says distinctly that in later times some will desert from the faith, giving attention to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,

riversident@1Timothy:4:3 @ forbidding marriage, and insisting on abstinence from certain kinds of food which God made to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who are faithful and know the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything made by God is excellent and nothing is to be rejected if taken with thanksgiving.

riversident@1Timothy:4:6 @ In teaching this to the brethren you will be a noble servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and of the excellent teaching which you have followed.

riversident@1Timothy:4:8 @ Bodily exercise is useful to a small degree, but godliness is useful for everything. "It has the promise of the present life and of the life that is to come."

riversident@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we are laboring and wrestling, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

riversident@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

riversident@1Timothy:4:15 @ Be careful about these things, be fully occupied with them, that your progress may be plain to all.

riversident@1Timothy:5:4 @ If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.

riversident@1Timothy:5:5 @ A real widow who is left alone has set her hope on God and devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.

riversident@1Timothy:5:7 @ Give these commands that they may be free from reproach.

riversident@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

riversident@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list if she has reached the age of not less than sixty years, if she has been true to one husband,

riversident@1Timothy:5:10 @ has a reputation for good deeds, has brought up children, has entertained strangers, has washed the feet of the holy, has ministered to people in distress, has been active in every good work.

riversident@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but gossips, and busybodies, saying what they should not.

riversident@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would, therefore, have the younger widows marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion to our enemies for slander.

riversident@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some have turned aside after Satan.

riversident@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain," and

riversident@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who are going on in sin rebuke before all, that the rest may fear.

riversident@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels to observe these directions without prejudice, doing nothing through partiality.

riversident@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands of ordination upon any one hastily. Have no share in the sins of other men. Keep yourself pure.

riversident@1Timothy:5:25 @ Just so noble deeds are conspicuous and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.

riversident@1Timothy:6:1 @ ALL who are slaves under the yoke must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be profanely slandered.

riversident@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brothers, but rather work as slaves for them because those who are benefited by their good work are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

riversident@1Timothy:6:8 @ If we have food and clothing we will be content with these.

riversident@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some men grasping for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pangs.

riversident@1Timothy:6:12 @ Play the grand hard game of the faith. Lay hold on life eternal, to which you have been called and have made the noble confession before many witnesses.

riversident@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God who gives life to all, and Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the noble confession,

riversident@1Timothy:6:16 @ who alone has immortality, who dwells in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen or can see. To him be honor and power eternal! Amen.

riversident@1Timothy:6:17 @ Command those who are rich in this world not to be haughty nor to fix their hope on uncertain wealth, but on God who provides all things richly for our enjoyment.

riversident@1Timothy:6:18 @ They must do good work, be rich in noble deeds, be generous, ready to share,

riversident@1Timothy:6:19 @ treasuring up for themselves a good fund for the future, that they may lay hold on the life that is real.

riversident@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from profane and empty talk and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge."

riversident@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some while professing it have gone astray as regards the faith. Grace be with you all.

riversident@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God whom, I serve, following in the steps of my forefathers, with a pure conscience, while I constantly mention you in my prayers night and day,

riversident@2Timothy:1:4 @ remembering your tears and longing to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

riversident@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and I am confident that it lives in you also.

riversident@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to kindle anew the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

riversident@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

riversident@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed to testify for our Lord or for me his prisoner, but join in suffering hardships for the good news as God gives power.

riversident@2Timothy:1:10 @ but now manifested by the appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has defeated death and brought to light life and immortality by the good news.

riversident@2Timothy:1:12 @ and for this reason I am suffering these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am confident that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

riversident@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all of those in Asia have deserted me. Among them are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

riversident@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chain;

riversident@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And in how many ways he served me in Ephesus you know better still.

riversident@2Timothy:2:1 @ YOU, therefore, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

riversident@2Timothy:2:3 @ Take your share of hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:2:6 @ The farmer who does the labor ought first to have his share of the fruits.

riversident@2Timothy:2:7 @ Think over what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight in all things.

riversident@2Timothy:2:9 @ In telling it I am suffering hardships even to chains, as if I were an evildoer, but God's message is not chained.

riversident@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I am enduring all for the sake of the chosen, that they may gain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

riversident@2Timothy:2:11 @ Trustworthy is the saying, "For if we have died with him we shall also live with him;

riversident@2Timothy:2:12 @ if we endure we shall also be kings with him; if we disown him, he will disown us;

riversident@2Timothy:3:5 @ They will have a form of religion, but will cast off its power. Avoid such people.

riversident@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will go no further, for their folly will be manifest to all as that of Jannes and Jambres became.

riversident@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you must be calm in all circumstances, suffer hardships, do the work of a bringer of the good news, carry out fully all the duties of your office.

riversident@2Timothy:4:7 @ I have played the grand hard game, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith.

riversident@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

riversident@2Timothy:4:9 @ Make haste to come to me quickly.

riversident@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas deserted me because he loved the present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

riversident@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, and particularly the parchments.

riversident@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that through me the proclamation might be fully published and all the Gentiles might hear it, and I was saved from the mouth of the lion.

riversident@Titus:3:8 @ That is a trustworthy saying. I wish you to insist on these things so that those who have put their faith in God may give earnest attention to honorable work. These things are honorable and also useful to men.

riversident@Titus:3:10 @ If a man is factious, after one or two warnings, have nothing more to do with him,

riversident@Titus:3:13 @ Do your best in helping Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos forward on their journey so that they may lack nothing.

riversident@Philemon:1:4 @ I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Philemon:1:5 @ for I hear of the love and the loyalty that you have to the Lord Jesus Christ and to all the holy.

riversident@Philemon:1:6 @ I pray that your fellowship in the faith may become effective in the knowledge of all the good there is in us in our relation to Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have had great joy and encouragement in your love, because the hearts of the holy have been refreshed by you, brother.

riversident@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might have great boldness in Christ to command you what is fitting,

riversident@Philemon:1:10 @ I beg you in behalf of my child Onesimus, born to me in my chains,

riversident@Philemon:1:13 @ I should like to have him for my own, to serve me in my chains for the good news, as your representative,

riversident@Philemon:1:14 @ but without your consent I am unwilling to do anything, so that your goodness may not be of necessity but of free will.

riversident@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps it was for this that he was separated from you for a time, that you might have him back for ever,

riversident@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

riversident@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

riversident@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write it with my own hand. I will pay it \'97 not to mention to you that you owe me your own self besides.

riversident@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have this help from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:21 @ I am writing to you confident of your obedience and knowing that you will do more than I say.

riversident@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time I want you to prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given back to you.

riversident@Hebrews:1:2 @ but at the end of these days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the world,

riversident@Hebrews:1:3 @ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

riversident@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited surpasses theirs.

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, "Thou, in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth, and the heavens are works of thy hands.

riversident@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service in behalf of those who are to inherit salvation?

riversident@Hebrews:2:1 @ FOR this reason we should give special attention to the things that we have heard, so as not to drift away from them.

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:5 @ For he has not subjected to angels the coming world of which we speak.

riversident@Hebrews:2:6 @ But somewhere one says, "What is man that thou rememberest him? Or the son of man that thou carest for him?

riversident@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. With glory and honor thou hast crowned him.

riversident@Hebrews:2:8 @ All things thou hast put under his feet." When he put all things under him he left nothing that was not put under him. We do not yet see all things put under him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

riversident@Hebrews:2:16 @ For he does not come to the help of angels, but he comes to the help of the descendants of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:2:18 @ For since he himself has suffered when tempted he is able to help those who are tempted.

riversident@Hebrews:3:1 @ THEREFORE, holy brethren, sharers in a heavenly call, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

riversident@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was much displeased with that generation and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts and they do not know my paths.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brethren, that there shall not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart ready to forsake the living God,

riversident@Hebrews:3:13 @ but encourage one another daily while it is called "to-day," that no one may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

riversident@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we become sharers with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance with which we began.

riversident@Hebrews:3:15 @ When it is said, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:3:18 @ To whom did he swear that they should not enter his rest, except to those who had no faith?

riversident@Hebrews:3:19 @ We see that they were unable to enter because of their lack of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

riversident@Hebrews:4:5 @ and in this place again, "They shall not enter into my rest."

riversident@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he indicates a day, "to-day," saying in David so long after, as has been already quoted, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

riversident@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest he would not be speaking of another day after that.

riversident@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered into God's rest has rested from his works as God did from his.

riversident@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall, after that example of lack of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

riversident@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

riversident@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

riversident@Hebrews:5:1 @ FOR every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

riversident@Hebrews:5:5 @ So too Christ did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have become thy Father,"

riversident@Hebrews:5:11 @ Regarding Melchizedek we have much to say that is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for adults who through practice have their senses exercised in distinguishing good and bad.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:2 @ the teaching about baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

riversident@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world,

riversident@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

riversident@Hebrews:6:9 @ But we are persuaded of better things regarding you, beloved, things that belong with salvation, though we thus speak.

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we desire to have each one of you show to the end the same earnestness for the fulfillment of our hope,

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:13 @ For God, when making the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, swore by himself,

riversident@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so after patient waiting Abraham obtained what was promised.

riversident@Hebrews:6:17 @ In this case God being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable purpose of his will gave the surety of an oath,

riversident@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

riversident@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and it enters into the tent within the curtain

riversident@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus, our forerunner, has entered in our behalf, becoming forever a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:4 @ But see how great this man was, since Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of his choicest spoils.

riversident@Hebrews:7:5 @ And even those of the sons of Levi who attain the priesthood have command according to the Law to take a tenth from the people, their own brethren, although these have sprung from the loins of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he who had no genealogy from these took a tenth from Abraham and pronounced a blessing on him who had the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:9 @ And, to put it frankly, Levi, who receives the tenths, was made to pay a tenth through Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when the priesthood has been changed there comes of necessity also a change of law.

riversident@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever had anything to do with the altar.

riversident@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a commandment made for the flesh, but according to the power of unending life.

riversident@Hebrews:7:21 @ for those men have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath from him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: thou art a priest forever" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much better is the covenant of which Jesus has become surety.

riversident@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because he continues forever, has an unending priesthood.

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law makes high priests of men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath, which comes after the Law, makes High Priest of a Son who is perfected forever.

riversident@Hebrews:8:1 @ THE chief point of what I have been saying is this: we have such a High Priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

riversident@Hebrews:8:3 @ Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Whence it is necessary for this one to have something to offer.

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless a place would not have been sought for a second.

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:1 @ THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of propitiation. Regarding these things it is not now possible to speak in detail.

riversident@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing.

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

riversident@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is valid in the case of the dead: it never has any force while the testator is living.

riversident@Hebrews:9:19 @ When all the commands of the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

riversident@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded for you."

riversident@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

riversident@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter into a holy place made by hands, a copy of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God in our behalf.

riversident@Hebrews:9:26 @ then he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to do away with sin by his sacrifice.

riversident@Hebrews:10:1 @ FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming, but not the very likeness of the things, cannot, by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year, ever make perfect those who come,

riversident@Hebrews:10:2 @ since would they not have ceased offering them? Because the worshipers, once for all cleansed, would have had no consciousness of sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, 'Here I have come \'97 in the roll of the book it is written of me \'97 to do thy will, O God.' "

riversident@Hebrews:10:9 @ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second.

riversident@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, took his seat at the right hand of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are made holy.

riversident@Hebrews:10:15 @ The Holy Spirit testifies this to us; for after having said,

riversident@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them," he adds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since we have, then, brethren, confidence in entering the holy place through the blood of Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest over the house of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,

riversident@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers.

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.

riversident@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you even suffered with the prisoners and accepted the plundering of your property with joy, knowing that you had a better and enduring possession.

riversident@Hebrews:10:35 @ Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.

riversident@Hebrews:10:36 @ You have need of patience so that after doing the will of God you may gain the promised blessing.

riversident@Hebrews:10:38 @ My righteous man will live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul has no delight in him."

riversident@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and perish, but of those who have faith and will win their souls.

riversident@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds came into order at the word of God, so that what is now seen did not come out of things that are visible.

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land.

riversident@Hebrews:11:14 @ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a fatherland.

riversident@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that land from which they came they would have had opportunity to return.

riversident@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them \'97 of being called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

riversident@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son

riversident@Hebrews:11:18 @ regarding whom it had been said, "Those only whose descent is through Isaac shall be called your descendants."

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses when he had grown up refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter.

riversident@Hebrews:11:25 @ He chose rather to suffer hard-ship with the people of God than to enjoy the brief pleasure of sin,

riversident@Hebrews:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

riversident@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.

riversident@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, did not perish with those who had refused to believe; because she had welcomed the spies with peace.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:11:36 @ Still others had experience of mockings and floggings, yes, of chains and prisons.

riversident@Hebrews:11:40 @ In reference to us God had something better in view, that they without us should not reach perfection.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

riversident@Hebrews:12:3 @ Think of him who endured such hostile speaking of sinners against him, that you may not grow weary and despondent in heart.

riversident@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to blood in the contest against sin,

riversident@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have forgotten the encouragement which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, do not think slightingly of the discipline of the Lord and be not faint-hearted when reproved by him:

riversident@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without discipline, in which all share, then you are bastards and not sons.

riversident@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides, we had fathers of our flesh who disciplined us and we used to reverence them. Shall we not much more be submissive to the Father of our spirits and live?

riversident@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

riversident@Hebrews:12:11 @ All discipline for the time being seems not joyous but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have passed through its training.

riversident@Hebrews:12:25 @ Beware of rejecting him who is speaking. For if those did not escape who rejected him who taught the divine will on earth, much less shall we if we reject him who speaks from heaven.

riversident@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth, but now he has announced, "Yet once for all I shall shake not only the earth but also heaven."

riversident@Hebrews:12:27 @ And this expression "yet once for all" shows the removal of the things shaken, as of things that have been made, that the unshaken things may remain.

riversident@Hebrews:12:28 @ So then, since we are receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace by which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

riversident@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget hospitality: for by this some have, without knowing it, had angels as their guests.

riversident@Hebrews:13:3 @ Keep in mind the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are suffering hardships, since you yourselves are also in the body.

riversident@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor by all and let the bed be undefiled; for unchaste persons and adulterers God will judge.

riversident@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your lives be free from the love of money. Be content with what you have. For he has said, "I will not fail you nor will I forsake you."

riversident@Hebrews:13:6 @ So we may say with courage, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

riversident@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who have spoken to you God's message, think how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.

riversident@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away with all sorts of foreign teachings. It is well to have the heart strengthened by grace, not by special kinds of food. Those who live in that way are not profited.

riversident@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar of which those who worship in the Tent have no right to eat.

riversident@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have here no continuing city, but we are seeking the coming one.

riversident@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us offer to God always the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession in his name.

riversident@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and yield to their authority; for they watch over your souls as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with sighing. That would be unprofitable for you.

riversident@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us: for we are confident that we have a good conscience, wishing to live nobly in every way.

riversident@Hebrews:13:19 @ I earnestly beg you to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner.

riversident@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing for doing his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

riversident@Hebrews:13:22 @ I beg you, brethren, to bear with my words of exhortation; for I have written to you briefly.

riversident@Hebrews:13:23 @ I wish you to know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. With him, if he comes soon, I will see you.

riversident@James:1:3 @ since you know that the testing of your faith brings out endurance.

riversident@James:1:4 @ Let endurance do its complete work, that you may be complete and perfect, lacking in nothing.

riversident@James:1:7 @ For that man must not think that he will obtain anything from the Lord \'97

riversident@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flower of it falls and the beauty of its face perishes. So shall the rich man wither in his pursuits.

riversident@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has been tested he will gain the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

riversident@James:1:15 @ Then when passion has conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.

riversident@James:1:17 @ every good gift and every perfect boon is from above; it descends from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow caused by turning.

riversident@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

riversident@James:1:24 @ He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was.

riversident@James:1:25 @ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work \'97 that man will be blessed in what he does.

riversident@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless.

riversident@James:1:27 @ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

riversident@James:2:4 @ are you not making distinctions in your own minds and have you not become judges with wicked thoughts?

riversident@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

riversident@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you before courts?

riversident@James:2:8 @ If you keep the royal law according to the Scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," you do well.

riversident@James:2:9 @ But if you have partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as law-breakers.

riversident@James:2:10 @ For he who keeps the whole law, but stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all.

riversident@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "Thou shalt not commit murder." If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a law-breaker.

riversident@James:2:13 @ For judgment is merciless to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

riversident@James:2:14 @ Of what use is it, my brethren, for any one to say that he has faith, if he has not works? Can faith save him?

riversident@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and fed," but you do not give them what the body needs, what is the good of it?

riversident@James:2:17 @ Just so faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

riversident@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works."

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to learn, O vacant-minded man, that faith without works is useless?

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

riversident@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was made perfect

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is pronounced righteous because of works and not because of faith alone.

riversident@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab, the prostitute, pronounced righteous because of works when she had received the messengers and sent them out by a different road?

riversident@James:3:1 @ DO not, many of you, become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we will receive severer judgment.

riversident@James:3:5 @ Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.

riversident@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.

riversident@James:3:7 @ For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind,

riversident@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

riversident@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth.

riversident@James:4:2 @ You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking.

riversident@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.

riversident@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously?

riversident@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

riversident@James:4:14 @ though you do not know what your life will be like on the morrow. For you are a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears.

riversident@James:4:15 @ You should rather say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

riversident@James:5:1 @ COME, now, you rich men, wail and lament over the miseries that are coming upon you.

riversident@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten,

riversident@James:5:4 @ You have laid up treasures in the last days. See, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, fraudulently kept back by you, call aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have come into the ears of the Lord of armies.

riversident@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously in the land and have given yourselves up to pleasure. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

riversident@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous; he does not resist you.

riversident@James:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@James:5:12 @ Above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

riversident@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is any one cheerful? Let him sing with the harp.

riversident@James:5:15 @ The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him.

riversident@James:5:16 @ Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another in order to be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man has great power.

riversident@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man of the same weaknesses as ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

riversident@James:5:20 @ I wish you to know that he who brings back a sinner from his wanderings will save his soul from death and will hide a host of sins.

riversident@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead \'97

riversident@1Peter:1:7 @ so that your tested faith, much more precious than gold that perishes though tested by fire, may be found to your praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed,

riversident@1Peter:1:8 @ whom you love though you have not seen him; in whom you have faith though now you do not see him, and you rejoice with unspeakable and glorious joy

riversident@1Peter:1:10 @ Regarding this salvation the prophets who foretold the grace that was to come to you

riversident@1Peter:1:11 @ inquired and searched, trying to find out what time, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them was disclosing when it witnessed beforehand regarding the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

riversident@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who have told you the good news by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven \'97 things which angels earnestly long to look into.

riversident@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore brace up your minds, be calm and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

riversident@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not shape your lives by the passions that ruled you in the former days of ignorance,

riversident@1Peter:1:15 @ but, like the Holy One who has called you, become yourselves holy in all your way of life,

riversident@1Peter:1:16 @ for it is written, "You shall be holy because I am holy."

riversident@1Peter:1:18 @ for you know that you were not ransomed with perishable things, silver or gold, from your purposeless life handed down from your forefathers,

riversident@1Peter:1:21 @ who through him are faithful to God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

riversident@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,

riversident@1Peter:1:23 @ for you have been reborn, not from mortal seed but from immortal by the living and enduring word of God.

riversident@1Peter:1:25 @ but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word of good news that has been brought to you.

riversident@1Peter:2:2 @ and, like new-born babes, long for the reasonable pure milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,

riversident@1Peter:2:3 @ if you have tasted that the Lord is kind.

riversident@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, an honored corner stone. He who has faith in him will not be put to shame."

riversident@1Peter:2:7 @ To you who have faith is the "honor," but to the unbelieving "the stone which the builders rejected \'97 that has become the corner stone,

riversident@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.

riversident@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.

riversident@1Peter:2:12 @ Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.

riversident@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God \'97 that by doing good we shall silence the ignorance of thoughtless men.

riversident@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if when you sin and are struck with the fist you are patient? But if though doing well, you suffer and are patient, that is grace in God's sight.

riversident@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ too suffered for you, leaving you an example that you might follow in his foot-steps.

riversident@1Peter:2:22 @ He had done no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

riversident@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we might die to sins and live to righteousness.

riversident@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were going astray like sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

riversident@1Peter:3:1 @ IN the same way you wives are to be submissive to your own husbands, so that if any disbelieve the message they may be won over by the lives of their wives without argument,

riversident@1Peter:3:2 @ when they look at your pure, reverential behavior.

riversident@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:4 @ but the hidden personality of the heart must wear the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in God's sight most precious.

riversident@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him Master. You have become her children when you do well and feel no terror.

riversident@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way, you husbands must live with your wives wisely, since woman's sex is weaker, but you must give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

riversident@1Peter:3:9 @ not repaying evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but rather blessing, for that is what you were called for \'97 to inherit a blessing.

riversident@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is it that will harm you if you become earnest for the good?

riversident@1Peter:3:14 @ But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;

riversident@1Peter:3:15 @ but exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts and be always ready to defend yourselves to every one who asks you to give account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

riversident@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep a good conscience that, although you are slandered, those who misrepresent your good life in Christ may be put to shame.

riversident@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer, if that should be God's will, for doing good than for doing wrong.

riversident@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

riversident@1Peter:3:20 @ who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared, into which a few, that is eight souls, went and were saved through water.

riversident@1Peter:3:22 @ Now that he has gone into heaven he is at the right hand of God, and angels and authorities and powers have been made subject to him.

riversident@1Peter:4:1 @ SINCE, then, Christ suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with the same mind. For he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

riversident@1Peter:4:2 @ so that he does not go on living what remains of his time in the flesh according to human passions, but according to God's will.

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:4 @ In these they think it strange that you are not running with them to the same excess of profligacy, and they slander you.

riversident@1Peter:4:5 @ But they will have to give account to him who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead.

riversident@1Peter:4:6 @ And for this purpose the good news was told even to the dead, that they might be judged like men in the flesh, but live as God does in the spirit.

riversident@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all things have earnest love to one another, for love hides a host of sins.

riversident@1Peter:4:10 @ Let each, as he has received a spiritual gift, serve the others in that way, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery fury that is among you, which has come to try you, as if some strange thing were happening to you.

riversident@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice since to this extent you are sharing the sufferings of Christ, that when his glory is revealed you may rejoice and exult.

riversident@1Peter:4:16 @ But if he suffers as a Christian he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God by that name.

riversident@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. And if it begins first with us, what will be the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

riversident@1Peter:5:1 @ THE elders among you I beg \'97 I who am a fellow elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ and a sharer in the glory soon to be revealed \'97

riversident@1Peter:5:2 @ I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly,

riversident@1Peter:5:3 @ not lording it over your charges, but becoming examples to the flock.

riversident@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of God so that he may lift you up at the right time.

riversident@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him firm in the faith and knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being completed in your brotherhood throughout the world.

riversident@1Peter:5:10 @ The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little will equip, establish and strengthen you.

riversident@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, your faithful brother, as I esteem him, I am writing to you briefly, to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it.

riversident@2Peter:1:1 @ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

riversident@2Peter:1:3 @ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue,

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

riversident@2Peter:1:8 @ For when you have these in abundance they make you to be neither idle nor fruitless regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Peter:1:9 @ But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

riversident@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble.

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:15 @ I will endeavor also on every occasion to make it so that after my going you shall have these things in memory.

riversident@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:1:20 @ since you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from any one's private interpretation,

riversident@2Peter:2:2 @ Many will follow their shameless ways and by these the path of truth will be profanely spoken of.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:11 @ even where angels greater in strength and power do not bring against them an insulting charge before the Lord.

riversident@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes engrossed with some adulteress, eyes which never cease from sin. They seduce unsteady souls. They have hearts practiced in covetousness. They are children of a curse.

riversident@2Peter:2:15 @ Leaving the straight path they have wandered away following the path of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

riversident@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:1 @ THIS second letter, beloved, I am writing you. In both I have tried, by awakening your memory,

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willfully forget that there were heavens of old and an earth formed out of water and through water by God's word.

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all of these things are to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy lives and piety,

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:16 @ So he writes in all his letters when speaking in them of these things. In those letters are some things hard to understand, and these the unlearned and unsteady twist, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@1John:1:1 @ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched \'97 it is about the Word of Life

riversident@1John:1:3 @ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

riversident@1John:1:4 @ We are writing this that our joy may be complete.

riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

riversident@1John:1:6 @ If we say, "We have fellowship with him," and live in darkness, we lie and are not acting the truth.

riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

riversident@1John:1:8 @ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

riversident@1John:1:10 @ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.

riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

riversident@1John:2:3 @ By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.

riversident@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him.

riversident@1John:2:6 @ He who says that he is abiding in him ought himself to live as he lived.

riversident@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new command for you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the message that you have heard.

riversident@1John:2:9 @ He who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness still.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

riversident@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the last hour.

riversident@1John:2:19 @ 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 so that it might be plainly seen that not all are of us.

riversident@1John:2:20 @ You have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know.

riversident@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and know that no lie is from the truth.

riversident@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

riversident@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

riversident@1John:2:24 @ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

riversident@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that he has promised us \'97 the life eternal.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, remain in him so that if he appears we may have confidence and not shrink in shame from him at his coming.

riversident@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @ SEE what love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why tho world does not know us is that it did not know him.

riversident@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are now children of God and it is not yet plain what we shall be. But we know that if he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

riversident@1John:3:3 @ And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ is pure.

riversident@1John:3:5 @ You know that Christ appeared to take away sins and in him there is no sin.

riversident@1John:3:6 @ Whoever remains in him does not sin; whoever sins has not seen him nor known him.

riversident@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared \'97 to undo the works of the Devil.

riversident@1John:3:9 @ No one who has been born of God commits sin, for God's life-giving germ remains in him and he cannot continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

riversident@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

riversident@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has life eternal remaining in him.

riversident@1John:3:16 @ By this we have come to know love \'97 that Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

riversident@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

riversident@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth and shall give confidence to our hearts in his presence,

riversident@1John:3:20 @ because if our hearts condemn us God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.

riversident@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence toward God,

riversident@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us \'97 by the Spirit which he has given to us.

riversident@1John:4:1 @ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.

riversident@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:10 @ In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

riversident@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God has so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

riversident@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another God abides in us and his love is made perfect in us.

riversident@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has imparted to us of his Spirit.

riversident@1John:4:14 @ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

riversident@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has pain. He who fears has not been made perfect in love.

riversident@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

riversident@1John:4:21 @ This command we have from him, that he who loves God shall love his brother also.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commands.

riversident@1John:5:4 @ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

riversident@1John:5:5 @ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

riversident@1John:5:8 @ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in accord.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life.

riversident@1John:5:13 @ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

riversident@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

riversident@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that is not deadly.

riversident@1John:5:18 @ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

riversident@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the Evil One.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:1 @ THE Elder to the chosen Lady and her children, whom I love in truth (note:)and not I alone, but also all who have come to know the truth(:note)

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:8 @ Guard yourselves so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so that you may gain a full reward.

riversident@2John:1:9 @ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

riversident@2John:1:11 @ He who bids him welcome becomes a sharer in his wicked works.

riversident@2John:1:12 @ I have much to write to you, but I will not do it with paper and ink. I hope to be with you soon and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete.

riversident@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that in everything you may prosper and be in health, just as your soul now prospers.

riversident@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified to your truth \'97 that you are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever work you do for the brethren, even when they are strangers,

riversident@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to help them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God.

riversident@3John:1:7 @ For it was for the Name that they came out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

riversident@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

riversident@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil, but good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil has not seen God.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@3John:1:13 @ I had much to write to you, but I will not write to you with ink and pen.

riversident@3John:1:14 @ But I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends send greetings to you. Greet the friends by name.

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in, who of old were written of as predestined to this doom, godless, changing the grace of our God into profligacy and disowning our only Ruler and Lord, Jesus Christ.

riversident@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you, although you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who had no faith;

riversident@Jude:1:6 @ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

riversident@Jude:1:7 @ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which in the same way gave themselves up to unchastity and the pursuit of unnatural vices, serve as an example while they undergo the punishment of eternal fire.

riversident@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the arch-angel, when in dispute with the Devil he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him an abusive judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

riversident@Jude:1:10 @ But these speak profanely of whatever they do not know, and all that physically as irrational animals they do understand, in these things they corrupt themselves.

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea foaming out their own shame, wandering stars for which the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

riversident@Jude:1:15 @ to do judgment upon all and to convict all the irreverent of all their deeds of irreverence which they have irreverently done, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him, irreverent sinners that they are."

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Jude:1:22 @ On some have pity when they are in doubt;

riversident@Jude:1:23 @ pull them out of the fire and save them. Others pity with fear, hating even the tunic spotted by the flesh.

riversident@Revelation:1:2 @ who bears witness to the message of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ \'97 everything that he saw.

riversident@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep in mind what is written in it; for the time is near.

riversident@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven Churches in Asia: Grace be to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

riversident@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, your brother and fellow sharer in the distresses and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus, came to the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me, and upon turning I saw seven golden lampstands

riversident@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed in a robe that reached his feet, and girded across the breast with a golden girdle.

riversident@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and his hair were white, like white wool, like snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire,

riversident@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in his right hand seven stars, and from his mouth there issued a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in full strength.

riversident@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him I fell at his feet as if dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said:

riversident@Revelation:4:1 @ AFTER this I looked and there was an open door in heaven and the voice that I had heard at first, as if of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here and I will show you things that must come to pass hereafter."

riversident@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

riversident@Revelation:4:8 @ The four living creatures have each six wings, and around and within they are full of eyes. They cease not saying day and night, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come."

riversident@Revelation:4:9 @ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for the ages of the ages,

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book and its seven seals."

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:8 @ When he took the book the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which is the prayers of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:13 @ And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all creatures in them, I heard saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked and there came a white horse, and he who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked and there came a pale yellow horse. The name of him who was sitting on it was Death, and Hades was following along with him. Authority was granted to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and with the wild beasts of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:1 @ AFTER this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind might blow on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:3 @ and said, "Do not harm the land or the sea or any tree until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

riversident@Revelation:7:7 @ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God for the ages of the ages! Amen."

riversident@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, "These who wear the white robes \'97 who are they and where have they come from?"

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:8:1 @ WHEN he opened the seventh seal there came a silence in heaven for about half an hour.

riversident@Revelation:8:4 @ The smoke of the incense from the hand of the angel went up with the prayers of the holy before God.

riversident@Revelation:8:6 @ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the creatures in the sea, those that had life, died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

riversident@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is called Wormwood. Then a third of the waters became worm-wood, and many people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @ THE fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. There was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:4 @ It was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor anything green nor any tree, but only the people that did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:8 @ They had hair like the hair of women. Their teeth were like those of lions.

riversident@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The noise of their wings was like the noise of many-horsed chariots rushing into battle.

riversident@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails as scorpions have, and stings, and with their tails they have power to harm men five months.

riversident@Revelation:9:11 @ They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name (note:)Destroyer(:note) is in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

riversident@Revelation:9:12 @ One woe has passed. Two woes are still to come.

riversident@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Loose the four angels that are chained at the great river Euphrates."

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @ This is how the horses and those who sat on them appeared to me in the vision: The riders had breastplates, fiery red, dark blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.

riversident@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of men were killed \'97 by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:9:21 @ nor did they repent of their murders nor of their magic nor of their unchastities nor of their thefts.

riversident@Revelation:10:2 @ He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land

riversident@Revelation:10:3 @ and shouted with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. When he had shouted the seven thunders spoke, each its own message.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven

riversident@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for the ages of the ages, who formed heaven and all things in it and the earth and all things upon it and the sea and all things in it, "There shall be no more delay,

riversident@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he soon shall sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God has been finished, according to the good news that he gave to his servants the prophets."

riversident@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke again with me and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:5 @ If any one wishes to harm them fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. If any one shall wish to harm them, in this way he must be killed.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:9 @ Men of all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses three days and a half and will not permit their corpses to be placed in a tomb.

riversident@Revelation:11:11 @ After the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them and they stood on their feet. Then great fear fell on those who were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:13 @ At that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake. The rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

riversident@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe has passed: the third Woe will come soon.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast become king.

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @ and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth to a child, so that he might devour the child as soon as it was born.

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:7 @ War arose in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. The Dragon and his angels fought,

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:11 @ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:13 @ When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth he pursued the woman who had given birth to the man-child.

riversident@Revelation:12:14 @ Then there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she shall be fed for a time and times and half a time, hidden from the view of the Serpent.

riversident@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river that the Dragon had poured out of his mouth.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @ The Beast that I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's feet and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave to him his own power and his throne and great authority.

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:8 @ All the inhabitants of the earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the slain Iamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear let him hear.

riversident@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the land. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:14 @ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:16 @ It causes all, small and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a mark put on their right hands or on their foreheads,

riversident@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark \'97 the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:2 @ I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters, like the sound of loud thunder. The sound that I heard was as of harpers playing on their harps.

riversident@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.

riversident@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of her passion for unchastity."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:13 @ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their toils. For their works follow with them."

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:17 @ Then another angel came out from the Temple that is in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:4 @ Who will not reverence and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou only art holy. All the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous acts have been made manifest."

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @ for they poured out the blood of thy holy ones and prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

riversident@Revelation:16:9 @ Men were scorched with great heat and they insulted the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent and give him glory.

riversident@Revelation:16:14 @ They are the spirits of demons who work miracles, and they go forth to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:16:16 @ The spirits gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

riversident@Revelation:16:18 @ Then came lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake. So great an earthquake has not occurred since man came upon the earth.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:1 @ THEN came one of the seven angels that had the seven plagues and spoke with me. He said, "Come here. I will show you the doom of the great prostitute who sits on many waters

riversident@Revelation:17:2 @ and with whom the kings of the earth have committed lewdness, while the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her lewdness."

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @ The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life will be amazed when they see the Beast that was and is not and will be.

riversident@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is need for a mind that has wisdom. "The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits.

riversident@Revelation:17:10 @ Also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he comes he must stay but a little while.

riversident@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it in their hearts to carry out his purpose, which is that they shall carry out one purpose and give their royal power to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

riversident@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city that has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of her passion for lewdness and the kings of the earth have committed lewdness with her and by the excess of her luxury the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

riversident@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not take part in her sins nor receive a share in her plagues,

riversident@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins have been heaped up to heaven and God has remembered her unrighteous deeds.

riversident@Revelation:18:6 @ Repay to her as she has paid, and make it double for her deeds. In the cup she mixed mix double for her.

riversident@Revelation:18:7 @ As much as she glorified herself and played the wanton, so much give her torture and woe. For in her heart she says, 'I sit here a queen; no widow am I and woe I shall not see.'

riversident@Revelation:18:8 @ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, death and woe and famine, and she shall be burned up in fire. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.

riversident@Revelation:18:9 @ "The kings of the earth who have committed lewdness with her and have reveled luxuriously, when they see the smoke of her burning, will wail and beat their breasts.

riversident@Revelation:18:10 @ Standing afar because of their dismay at her torture, they will say, 'Alas, alas, O great city, Babylon the strong city, for in one hour your doom has come!'

riversident@Revelation:18:11 @ The merchants of the earth will weep and wail over her, for no one will any longer buy their cargoes,

riversident@Revelation:18:13 @ and cinnamon and spice and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine, and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

riversident@Revelation:18:14 @ The ripe fruits for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your dainty and splendid things are lost to you and they will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:17 @ For in one hour this vast wealth has given place to desolation.' " Every ship captain and every one who sails anywhere, and sailors and all who gain their living on the sea, stood afar

riversident@Revelation:18:18 @ and shouted as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city could compare with the great city?"

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you the holy and you apostles and prophets! For God has pronounced sentence in your behalf against her."

riversident@Revelation:18:21 @ Then one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall Babylon the great city be hurled down and she will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never more be heard in you. No master of any art will ever more be found in you. The sound of the mill will never more be heard in you.

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp will never more shine in you. The voices of bridegroom and bride will never again be heard in you. Your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your magic arts all the nations were led astray.

riversident@Revelation:18:24 @ In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy men and of all who had been slain on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:19:1 @ AFTER this I heard what seemed the loud voices of a great multitude in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:3 @ Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! Her smoke will ascend for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four elders fell down and the four living creatures worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

riversident@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed like the voices of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty is king.

riversident@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has prepared herself

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written which no one but himself knows,

riversident@Revelation:19:13 @ and he is clothed in a garment dipped in blood and his name has been called The Word of God.

riversident@Revelation:19:14 @ The armies that are in heaven follow him on white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean.

riversident@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword to smite the nations. He will shepherd them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:19:16 @ He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords."

riversident@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw one angel standing on the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great feast of God,

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @ And the Beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who did miracles in his presence and thereby misled those who received the mark of the Beast and who worshiped his image. The two were flung alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

riversident@Revelation:19:21 @ The rest were slain with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issued from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

riversident@Revelation:20:1 @ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years

riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

riversident@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and men took their seats on them and the power to judge was granted to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,

riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

riversident@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth \'97 Gog and Magog \'97 and gather them to battle in number like the sand of the sea.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged out of what was written in the books according to their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each according to his deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:14 @ Death and Hades were flung into the lake of fire. This is the second death \'97 the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:21:1 @ THEN I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more.

riversident@Revelation:21:4 @ He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; neither shall there any longer be sorrow or wailing or painful toil; for the first things have passed away."

riversident@Revelation:21:6 @ He said to me, "They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who is thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:21:7 @ He who conquers shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be to me a son.

riversident@Revelation:21:8 @ But the timid and faithless and abominable and murderers and the unchaste and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their lot in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

riversident@Revelation:21:9 @ Then one of the angels that had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and spoke with me. "Come here," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."

riversident@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like that of a most precious stone, like crystalline jasper.

riversident@Revelation:21:12 @ She had a wall great and high, and she had twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels, and there were names written upon the gates. They are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

riversident@Revelation:21:14 @ The wall of the city had twelve foundations and upon them were twelve names, the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:15 @ He who was speaking with me had a golden reed as a measure, to measure the city and her gates and her wall.

riversident@Revelation:21:17 @ He measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is also that of an angel.

riversident@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

riversident@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God illumines it and the Lamb is its light.

riversident@Revelation:22:2 @ In the space between the street and the river, on this side and on that, grew trees of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding their fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:22:5 @ There will not be night any more and they will have no need of lamplight or of sunlight; for the Lord God will shine upon them and they will be kings for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:22:6 @ Then he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show to his servants what must soon come to pass.

riversident@Revelation:22:18 @ I testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any one adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book,
