wmth@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac of Jacob; Jacob of Judah and his brothers.

wmth@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father (by Tamar) of Perez and Zerah; Perez of Hezron; Hezron of Ram;

wmth@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse of David–the King. David (by Uriah's widow) was the father of Solomon;

wmth@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah of Jeconiah and his brothers at the period of the Removal to Babylon.

wmth@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Removal to Babylon Jeconiah had a son Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

wmth@Matthew:1:16 @ and Jacob of Joseph the husband of Mary, who was the mother of JESUS who is called CHRIST.

wmth@Matthew:1:17 @ There are therefore, in all, fourteen generations from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Removal to Babylon; and fourteen from the Removal to Babylon to the Christ.

wmth@Matthew:1:18 @ The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:1:19 @ But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal.

wmth@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not live with her until she had given birth to a son. The child's name he called JESUS.

wmth@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,

wmth@Matthew:2:2 @ inquiring, »Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage.«

wmth@Matthew:2:4 @ So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.

wmth@Matthew:2:7 @ Thereupon Herod sent privately for the Magi and ascertained from them the exact time of the star's appearing.

wmth@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing what the king said, they went to Bethlehem, while, strange to say, the star they had seen in the east led them on until it came and stood over the place where the babe was.

wmth@Matthew:2:11 @ So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him–gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

wmth@Matthew:2:12 @ But being forbidden by God in a dream to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different route.

wmth@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him.«

wmth@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph roused himself and took the babe and His mother by night and departed into Egypt.

wmth@Matthew:2:15 @ There he remained till Herod's death, that what the Lord had said through the Prophet might be fulfilled,

wmth@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, finding that the Magi had trifled with him, was furious, and sent and massacred all the boys under two years of age, in Bethlehem and all its neighbourhood, according to the date he had so carefully ascertained from the Magi.

wmth@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod's death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said to him,

wmth@Matthew:2:20 @ »Rise from sleep, and take the child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead.«

wmth@Matthew:2:21 @ So he roused himself and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.

wmth@Matthew:2:22 @ But hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod on the throne of Judaea, he was afraid to go there; and being instructed by God in a dream he withdrew into Galilee,

wmth@Matthew:3:4 @ This man John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a loincloth of leather; and he lived upon locusts and wild honey.

wmth@Matthew:3:8 @ Therefore let your lives prove your change of heart;

wmth@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not imagine that you can say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

wmth@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing-shovel is in His hand, and He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire.«

wmth@Matthew:4:2 @ There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.

wmth@Matthew:4:11 @ Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.

wmth@Matthew:4:18 @ And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers –Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew– throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.

wmth@Matthew:4:19 @ And He said to them, »Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.«

wmth@Matthew:4:20 @ So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,

wmth@Matthew:4:21 @ He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.

wmth@Matthew:4:22 @ And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

wmth@Matthew:4:25 @ And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.

wmth@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,

wmth@Matthew:5:16 @ Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the Kingdom of the Heavens; but whoever practises them and teaches them, he will be acknowledged as great in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that every one who becomes angry with his brother shall be answerable to the magistrate; that whoever says to his brother `Raca,' shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and that whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.

wmth@Matthew:5:23 @ If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, you remember that your brother has a grievance against you,

wmth@Matthew:5:24 @ leave your gift there before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother first, and then return and proceed to offer your gift.

wmth@Matthew:5:28 @ But I tell you that whoever looks at a woman and cherishes lustful thoughts has already in his heart become guilty with regard to her.

wmth@Matthew:5:29 @ If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna.

wmth@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna.

wmth@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced commits adultery.

wmth@Matthew:5:34 @ But I tell you not to swear at all; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne;

wmth@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you not to resist a wicked man, but if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.

wmth@Matthew:5:45 @ that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.

wmth@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?

wmth@Matthew:5:48 @ You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.

wmth@Matthew:6:1 @ »But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:6:4 @ that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.

wmth@Matthew:6:9 @ »In this manner therefore pray: `Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;«

wmth@Matthew:6:14 @ »For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;«

wmth@Matthew:6:15 @ but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.

wmth@Matthew:6:18 @ that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.«

wmth@Matthew:6:20 @ But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

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

wmth@Matthew:6:24 @ »No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.«

wmth@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

wmth@Matthew:6:28 @ And why be anxious about clothing? Learn a lesson from the wild lilies. Watch their growth. They neither toil nor spin,

wmth@Matthew:6:30 @ And if God so clothes the wild herbage which to-day flourishes and to-morrow is thrown into the oven, is it not much more certain that He will clothe you, you men of little faith?

wmth@Matthew:6:31 @ Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'

wmth@Matthew:6:32 @ For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things–all of them.

wmth@Matthew:6:34 @ Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.

wmth@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?

wmth@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how say to your brother, `Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye?

wmth@Matthew:7:5 @ Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.

wmth@Matthew:7:6 @ »Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.«

wmth@Matthew:7:9 @ What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone?

wmth@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

wmth@Matthew:7:12 @ Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up.

wmth@Matthew:7:13 @ »Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;«

wmth@Matthew:7:15 @ »Beware of the false teachers–men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.«

wmth@Matthew:7:16 @ By their fruits you will easily recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from brambles?

wmth@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:8:9 @ For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say `Go,' and he goes, to another `Come,' and he comes, and to my slave `Do this or that,' and he does it.«

wmth@Matthew:8:12 @ while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.«

wmth@Matthew:8:14 @ After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.

wmth@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.

wmth@Matthew:8:18 @ Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,

wmth@Matthew:8:19 @ when a Scribe came and said to Him, »Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.«

wmth@Matthew:8:20 @ »Foxes have holes,« replied Jesus, »and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«

wmth@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to Him, »Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father.«

wmth@Matthew:8:24 @ But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.

wmth@Matthew:8:26 @ »Why are you so easily frightened,« He replied, »you men of little faith?« Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;

wmth@Matthew:8:28 @ On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.

wmth@Matthew:8:29 @ They cried aloud, »What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?«

wmth@Matthew:8:30 @ Now at some distance from them a vast herd of swine were feeding.

wmth@Matthew:8:31 @ So the demons entreated Him. »If Thou drivest us out,« they said, »send us into the herd of swine.«

wmth@Matthew:8:32 @ »Go,« He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.

wmth@Matthew:8:33 @ The swineherds fled, and went and told the whole story in the town, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

wmth@Matthew:9:2 @ Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, »Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned.«

wmth@Matthew:9:4 @ Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, »Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?

wmth@Matthew:9:10 @ And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.

wmth@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Matthew:9:15 @ »Can the bridegroom's party mourn,« He replied, »as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.

wmth@Matthew:9:16 @ No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.

wmth@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved.«

wmth@Matthew:9:18 @ While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, »My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life.«

wmth@Matthew:9:21 @ for she said to herself, »If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured.«

wmth@Matthew:9:22 @ And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, »Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you.« And the woman was restored to health from that moment.

wmth@Matthew:9:36 @ And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.

wmth@Matthew:9:38 @ therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields.«

wmth@Matthew:10:2 @ Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;

wmth@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

wmth@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

wmth@Matthew:10:21 @ Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.

wmth@Matthew:10:24 @ »The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.«

wmth@Matthew:10:25 @ Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

wmth@Matthew:10:26 @ Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.

wmth@Matthew:10:28 @ »And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.«

wmth@Matthew:10:29 @ Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

wmth@Matthew:10:32 @ »Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:10:35 @ For I came to set a man against his father,

wmth@Matthew:10:37 @ Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

wmth@Matthew:10:38 @ and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.

wmth@Matthew:11:18 @ »For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon.'

wmth@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they exclaim, `See this man! –given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.«

wmth@Matthew:11:20 @ Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done–because they had not repented.

wmth@Matthew:11:25 @ About that time Jesus exclaimed, »I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.

wmth@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

wmth@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.«

wmth@Matthew:12:1 @ About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.

wmth@Matthew:12:6 @ But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.

wmth@Matthew:12:10 @ where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, »Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?« Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.

wmth@Matthew:12:11 @ »Which of you is there,« He replied, »who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

wmth@Matthew:12:12 @ Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath.«

wmth@Matthew:12:13 @ Then He said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other.

wmth@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.

wmth@Matthew:12:15 @ Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.

wmth@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts He said to them, »Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.

wmth@Matthew:12:26 @ And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?

wmth@Matthew:12:27 @ And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Matthew:12:30 @ »The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.

wmth@Matthew:12:31 @ This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.

wmth@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness.«

wmth@Matthew:12:33 @ »Either grant the tree to be wholesome and its fruit wholesome, or the tree poisonous and its fruit poisonous; for the tree is known by its fruit.

wmth@Matthew:12:38 @ Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, »Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you.«

wmth@Matthew:12:41 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.

wmth@Matthew:12:42 @ The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.

wmth@Matthew:12:43 @ »No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.

wmth@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation.«

wmth@Matthew:12:46 @ While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.

wmth@Matthew:12:47 @ So some one told Him, »Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you.«

wmth@Matthew:12:48 @ »Who is my mother?« He said to the man; »and who are my brothers?«

wmth@Matthew:12:49 @ And pointing to His disciples He added, »See here are my mother and my brothers.

wmth@Matthew:12:50 @ To obey my Father who is in Heaven–that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother.«

wmth@Matthew:13:2 @ when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.

wmth@Matthew:13:5 @ Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;

wmth@Matthew:13:6 @ but when the sun is risen, it is scorched by the heat, and through having no root it withers up.

wmth@Matthew:13:13 @ I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.

wmth@Matthew:13:23 @ But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.

wmth@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,

wmth@Matthew:13:27 @ So the farmer's men come and ask him, »`Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'

wmth@Matthew:13:30 @ Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'«

wmth@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.

wmth@Matthew:13:32 @ It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches.«

wmth@Matthew:13:33 @ Another parable He spoke to them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen.«

wmth@Matthew:13:40 @ As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.

wmth@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;

wmth@Matthew:13:42 @ and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.

wmth@Matthew:13:43 @ Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!

wmth@Matthew:13:50 @ and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.«

wmth@Matthew:13:52 @ »Therefore,« He said, »remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old.«

wmth@Matthew:13:54 @ And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, »Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?

wmth@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?

wmth@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters–are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?«

wmth@Matthew:13:57 @ So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them, »There is no prophet left without honour except in his own country and among his own family.«

wmth@Matthew:13:58 @ And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their want of faith.

wmth@Matthew:14:1 @ About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

wmth@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,

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

wmth@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before all the company, and so pleased Herod

wmth@Matthew:14:7 @ that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked.

wmth@Matthew:14:8 @ So she, instigated by her mother, said, »Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist.«

wmth@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was deeply vexed, yet because of his repeated oath and of the guests at his table he ordered it to be given her,

wmth@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother.

wmth@Matthew:14:17 @ »We have nothing here,« they said, »but five loaves and a couple of fish.«

wmth@Matthew:14:18 @ »Bring them here to me,« He said,

wmth@Matthew:14:20 @ So all ate, and were fully satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they gathered up, filling twelve baskets.

wmth@Matthew:14:23 @ When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.

wmth@Matthew:14:27 @ But instantly Jesus spoke to them, and said, »There is no danger; it is I; do not be afraid.«

wmth@Matthew:15:1 @ Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,

wmth@Matthew:15:5 @ but you –this is what you say: `If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me–

wmth@Matthew:15:6 @ he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.

wmth@Matthew:15:13 @ »Every plant,« He replied, »which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

wmth@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, »Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed by a demon.«

wmth@Mark:4:5 @ Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;

wmth@Mark:4:6 @ but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away.

wmth@Mark:4:10 @ When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.

wmth@Mark:4:11 @ »To you,« He replied, »has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language;

wmth@Mark:4:18 @ Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message,

wmth@Mark:4:19 @ but worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth and the excessive pursuit of other objects come in and stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful.

wmth@Mark:4:20 @ Those, on the other hand, who have received the seed on the good ground, are all who hear the Message and welcome it, and yield a return of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold.«

wmth@Mark:4:21 @ He went on to say, »Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand?

wmth@Mark:4:22 @ Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light.

wmth@Mark:4:26 @ Another saying of His was this: »The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:

wmth@Mark:4:30 @ Another saying of His was this: »How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it?

wmth@Mark:4:32 @ yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow.«

wmth@Mark:4:35 @ The same day, in the evening, He said to them, »Let us cross to the other side.«

wmth@Mark:4:36 @ So they got away from the crowd, and took Him –as He was– in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.

wmth@Mark:4:41 @ Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, »Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him.«

wmth@Mark:5:2 @ At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.

wmth@Mark:5:4 @ for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.

wmth@Mark:5:9 @ Jesus also questioned him. »What is your name?« He said. »Legion,« he replied, »for there are a host of us.«

wmth@Mark:5:11 @ Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.

wmth@Mark:5:13 @ He gave them leave; and the foul spirits came out and entered into the swine, and the herd –about 2,000 in number– rushed headlong down the cliff into the Lake and were drowned in the Lake.

wmth@Mark:5:14 @ The swineherds fled, and spread the news in town and country. So the people came to see what it was that had happened;

wmth@Mark:5:20 @ So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

wmth@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

wmth@Mark:5:22 @ when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue –he was called Jair– who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,

wmth@Mark:5:23 @ and besought Him with many entreaties. »My little daughter,« he said, »is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live.«

wmth@Mark:5:29 @ In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.

wmth@Mark:5:33 @ until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.

wmth@Mark:5:35 @ While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, »Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?«

wmth@Mark:5:37 @ And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.

wmth@Mark:5:38 @ So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.

wmth@Mark:5:40 @ To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.

wmth@Mark:5:41 @ Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, »Talitha, koum;« that is to say, »Little girl, I command you to wake!«

wmth@Mark:5:42 @ Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;

wmth@Mark:5:43 @ but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.

wmth@Mark:6:2 @ On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. »Where did he acquire all this?« they asked. »What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

wmth@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?« So they turned angrily away.

wmth@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, »There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home.«

wmth@Mark:6:5 @ And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and

wmth@Mark:6:10 @ Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you leave that place.

wmth@Mark:6:11 @ But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them.«

wmth@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, »John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him.«

wmth@Mark:6:15 @ Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, »He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets.«

wmth@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of Him, he said, »The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life.«

wmth@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

wmth@Mark:6:18 @ For John had repeatedly told Herod, »You have no right to be living with your brother's wife.«

wmth@Mark:6:19 @ Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not;

wmth@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.

wmth@Mark:6:21 @ At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in Galilee,

wmth@Mark:6:22 @ at which Herodias's own daughter came in and danced, and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her, »Ask me for anything you please, and I will give it to you.«

wmth@Mark:6:23 @ He even swore to her, »Whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom.«

wmth@Mark:6:24 @ She at once went out and said to her mother:»What shall I ask for?«»The head of John the Baptizer,« she replied.

wmth@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. »My desire is,« she said, »that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.«

wmth@Mark:6:26 @ Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her.

wmth@Mark:6:28 @ and brought his head on a dish and gave it to the young girl, who gave it to her mother.

wmth@Mark:6:31 @ Then He said to them, »Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile.« For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.

wmth@Mark:6:33 @ But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.

wmth@Mark:6:34 @ So when Jesus landed, He saw a vast multitude; and His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.

wmth@Mark:6:36 @ send them away that they may go to the farms and villages near here and buy themselves something to eat.«

wmth@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw Him and were terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. »There is no danger,« He said; »it is I; be not alarmed.«

wmth@Mark:6:55 @ Then they scoured the whole district, and began to bring Him the sick on their mats wherever they heard He was.

wmth@Mark:6:56 @ And enter wherever He might –village or town or hamlet– they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.

wmth@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)

wmth@Mark:7:11 @ But say, `If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me–'

wmth@Mark:7:12 @ And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,

wmth@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean.«

wmth@Mark:7:24 @ Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.

wmth@Mark:7:25 @ Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet.

wmth@Mark:7:26 @ She was a Gentile woman, a Syro-phoenician by nation: and again and again she begged Him to expel the demon from her daughter.

wmth@Mark:7:32 @ Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom they begged Him to lay His hands.

wmth@Mark:8:1 @ About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.

wmth@Mark:8:4 @ »Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?« answered His disciples.

wmth@Mark:8:13 @ So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.

wmth@Mark:8:15 @ and when He admonished them, »See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,«

wmth@Mark:8:16 @ they explained His words to one another by saying, »We have no bread!«

wmth@Mark:8:28 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied, »but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets.«

wmth@Mark:8:32 @ This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.

wmth@Mark:8:38 @ Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels.«

wmth@Mark:9:1 @ He went on to say, »In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power.«

wmth@Mark:9:4 @ Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,

wmth@Mark:9:5 @ when Peter said to Jesus, »Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents–one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«

wmth@Mark:9:7 @ Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, »This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him.«

wmth@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.

wmth@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power.«

wmth@Mark:9:21 @ Then Jesus asked the father, »How long has he been like this?«»From early childhood,« he said;

wmth@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father cried out, »I do believe: strengthen my weak faith.«

wmth@Mark:9:34 @ But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.

wmth@Mark:9:39 @ »You should not have tried to hinder him,« replied Jesus, »for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.

wmth@Mark:9:48 @ where

wmth@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another.«

wmth@Mark:10:9 @ What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate.«

wmth@Mark:10:11 @ He replied, »Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against the first wife;

wmth@Mark:10:12 @ and if a woman puts away her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.«

wmth@Mark:10:17 @ As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, »Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?«

wmth@Mark:10:18 @ »Why do you call me good?« asked Jesus in reply; »there is no one truly good except One–that is, God.

wmth@Mark:10:26 @ They were astonished beyond measure, and said to one another, »Who then be saved?«

wmth@Mark:10:29 @ »In solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

wmth@Mark:10:30 @ but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life –houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands– and persecution with them–and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Mark:10:33 @ »See,« He said, »we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;

wmth@Mark:10:37 @ »Allow us,« they replied, »to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left hand, in your glory.«

wmth@Mark:10:41 @ The other ten, hearing of it, were at first highly indignant with James and John.

wmth@Mark:10:45 @ For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people.«

wmth@Mark:11:2 @ »Go,« He said, »to the village facing you, and immediately on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.

wmth@Mark:11:3 @ And if any one asks you, `Why are you doing that?' say, `The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'«

wmth@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;

wmth@Mark:11:10 @ Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David!

wmth@Mark:11:11 @ So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

wmth@Mark:11:13 @ But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time);

wmth@Mark:11:20 @ In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;

wmth@Mark:11:21 @ and Peter, recollecting, said to Him, »Look, Rabbi, the fig-tree which you cursed is withered up.«

wmth@Mark:11:25 @ But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences.«

wmth@Mark:11:31 @ So they debated the matter with one another. »Suppose we say, `Heavenly,'« they argued, »he will ask, `Why then did you not believe him?'

wmth@Mark:12:1 @ Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. »There was once a man,« He said, »who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.

wmth@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.

wmth@Mark:12:5 @ Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.

wmth@Mark:12:7 @ »But those men –the vine-dressers– said to one another,« `Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'

wmth@Mark:12:9 @ What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?« »He will come and put the vine-dressers to death,« they said; »and will give the vineyard to others.«

wmth@Mark:12:13 @ Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.

wmth@Mark:12:18 @ Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.

wmth@Mark:12:20 @ There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.

wmth@Mark:12:21 @ The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.

wmth@Mark:12:23 @ At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her.«

wmth@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this: »Other Commandment greater than these there is none.«

wmth@Mark:12:42 @ But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.

wmth@Mark:12:43 @ So He called His disciples to Him and said, »In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;

wmth@Mark:12:44 @ for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed–all she had to live on.«

wmth@Mark:13:2 @ »You see all these great buildings?« Jesus replied; »not one stone will be left here upon another–not thrown down.«

wmth@Mark:13:3 @ He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,

wmth@Mark:13:8 @ For There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

wmth@Mark:13:12 @ »Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and and have them put to death.

wmth@Mark:13:14 @ »As soon, however, as you see the standing where he ought not« –let the reader observe these words– then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;

wmth@Mark:13:21 @ »At that time if any one says to you, `See, here is the Christ!' or `See, He is there!' do not believe it.«

wmth@Mark:13:27 @ Then He will send forth the angels and gather together His chosen People from north, south, east and west, from the remotest parts of the earth and the sky.

wmth@Mark:13:32 @ »But as to that day or the exact time no one knows–not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

wmth@Mark:13:35 @ Be wakeful therefore, for you know not when the master of the house is coming–in the evening, at midnight, at cock-crow, or at dawn.

wmth@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, »Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people.«

wmth@Mark:14:3 @ Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.

wmth@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, »Why has the ointment been thus wasted?

wmth@Mark:14:5 @ For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor.« And they were exceedingly angry with her.

wmth@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, »Leave her alone: why are you troubling her? She has done a most gracious act towards me.

wmth@Mark:14:9 @ And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her.«

wmth@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread –the day for killing the Passover lamb– His disciples asked Him, »Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?«

wmth@Mark:14:13 @ So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, »Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,

wmth@Mark:14:14 @ and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, `The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

wmth@Mark:14:15 @ Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us.«

wmth@Mark:14:32 @ So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, »Sit down here till I have prayed.«

wmth@Mark:14:34 @ and He said to them, »My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake.«

wmth@Mark:14:36 @ and He said, »Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest.«

wmth@Mark:14:46 @ whereupon they laid hands on Him and held Him firmly.

wmth@Mark:14:53 @ So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.

wmth@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed Jesus at a distance, as far as the outer court of the High Priest's palace. But there he remained sitting among the officers, and warming himself by the fire.

wmth@Mark:14:58 @ »We have heard him say, `I will pull down this Sanctuary built by human hands, and three days afterwards I will erect another built without hands.'«

wmth@Mark:14:62 @ »I am,« replied Jesus, »and you and others will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the divine Power, and coming amid the clouds of the sky.«

wmth@Mark:14:65 @ Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, »Prove that you are a prophet.« The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.

wmth@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.

wmth@Mark:15:16 @ Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium), and calling together the whole battalion

wmth@Mark:15:21 @ One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.

wmth@Mark:15:23 @ Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.

wmth@Mark:15:27 @ And together with Jesus they crucified two robbers, one at His right hand and one at His left.

wmth@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the High Priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on scoffing at Him, saying to one another, »He has saved others: himself he cannot save!

wmth@Mark:15:33 @ At noon there came a darkness over the whole land, lasting till three o'clock in the afternoon.

wmth@Mark:15:36 @ Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, »Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down.«

wmth@Mark:15:40 @ There were also a party of women looking on from a distance; among them being both Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joses, and Salome–

wmth@Mark:15:47 @ Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was put.

wmth@Mark:16:1 @ When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.

wmth@Mark:16:3 @ and they were saying to one another, `Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?«

wmth@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, »Do not be terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for–the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this is the place where they laid Him.

wmth@Luke:1:17 @ and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord.«

wmth@Luke:2:5 @ to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.

wmth@Luke:2:6 @ But while they were there, her full time came,

wmth@Luke:2:7 @ and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

wmth@Luke:2:8 @ Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,

wmth@Luke:2:13 @ And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,

wmth@Luke:2:15 @ Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, »Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.«

wmth@Luke:2:18 @ and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.

wmth@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.

wmth@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.

wmth@Luke:2:24 @ During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.

wmth@Luke:2:26 @ Now there was a man in Jerusalem of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

wmth@Luke:2:34 @ And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,

wmth@Luke:2:35 @ Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, »This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;

wmth@Luke:2:37 @ There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,

wmth@Luke:2:49 @ When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, »My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish.«

wmth@Luke:2:50 @ »Why is it that you have been searching for me?« He replied; »did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?«

wmth@Luke:2:52 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.

wmth@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

wmth@Luke:3:8 @ Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

wmth@Luke:3:11 @ »Let the man who has two coats,« he answered, »give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others.«

wmth@Luke:3:12 @ There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, »Rabbi, what are we to do?«

wmth@Luke:3:14 @ The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, »And we, what are we to do?« His answer was, »Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay.«

wmth@Luke:3:15 @ And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,

wmth@Luke:3:17 @ His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable.«

wmth@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,

wmth@Luke:4:7 @ If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.'

wmth@Luke:4:9 @ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple, and said to Him, »If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here; for it is written,

wmth@Luke:4:16 @ He came to Nazareth also, where He had been brought up; and, as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

wmth@Luke:4:17 @ And there was handed to Him the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and, opening the book, He found the place where it was written,

wmth@Luke:4:22 @ And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another, »Is not this Joseph's son?«

wmth@Luke:4:23 @ »Doubtless,« said He, »you will quote to me the proverb, `Physician, cure yourself: all that we hear that you have done at Capernaum, do here also in your native place.'«

wmth@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;

wmth@Luke:4:27 @ And there was also many a leper in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, and yet not one of them was cleansed, but Naaman the Syrian was.«

wmth@Luke:4:31 @ So He came down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, where He frequently taught the people on the Sabbath days.

wmth@Luke:4:33 @ But in the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. In a loud voice he cried out,

wmth@Luke:4:36 @ All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, »What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out.«

wmth@Luke:4:38 @ Now when He rose and left the synagogue He went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from an acute attack of fever; and they consulted Him about her.

wmth@Luke:4:39 @ Then standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she at once rose and waited on them.

wmth@Luke:4:42 @ Next morning, at daybreak, He left the town and went away to a solitary place; but the people flocked out to find Him, and, coming to the place where He was, they endeavoured to detain Him that He might not leave them.

wmth@Luke:4:43 @ But He said to them, »I have to tell the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I was sent.«

wmth@Luke:5:7 @ So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.

wmth@Luke:5:10 @ and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, »Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men.«

wmth@Luke:5:12 @ On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, »Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.«

wmth@Luke:5:16 @ but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.

wmth@Luke:5:17 @ One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.

wmth@Luke:5:27 @ After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, »Follow me.«

wmth@Luke:5:29 @ Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.

wmth@Luke:5:30 @ This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, »Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Luke:5:36 @ He also spoke in figurative language to them. »No one,« He said, »tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not match the old.

wmth@Luke:5:37 @ Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.

wmth@Luke:6:6 @ On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.

wmth@Luke:6:7 @ The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.

wmth@Luke:6:8 @ He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, »Rise, and stand there in the middle.« And he rose and stood there.

wmth@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, »I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it.«

wmth@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.

wmth@Luke:6:14 @ These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

wmth@Luke:6:17 @ With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;

wmth@Luke:6:23 @ »Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!«

wmth@Luke:6:26 @ »Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!«

wmth@Luke:6:29 @ To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.

wmth@Luke:6:36 @ Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

wmth@Luke:6:40 @ There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.

wmth@Luke:6:41 @ »And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?«

wmth@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.

wmth@Luke:6:43 @ »There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.«

wmth@Luke:6:44 @ Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.

wmth@Luke:7:2 @ Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;

wmth@Luke:7:7 @ and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.

wmth@Luke:7:8 @ For I too am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,' and he goes; to another, `Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, `Do this or that,' and he does it.«

wmth@Luke:7:12 @ And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.

wmth@Luke:7:13 @ The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, »Do not weep.«

wmth@Luke:7:15 @ The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.

wmth@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God–some saying, »A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us.« Others said, »God has not forgotten His People.«

wmth@Luke:7:19 @ so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. »Are you the Coming One?« he asked, »or is there another that we are to expect?«

wmth@Luke:7:20 @ The men came to Jesus and said, »John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: `Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'«

wmth@Luke:7:28 @ »I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.«

wmth@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.

wmth@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, `We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'

wmth@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, `Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking–he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'

wmth@Luke:7:37 @ And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,

wmth@Luke:7:38 @ and, standing behind close to His feet, weeping, began to wet His feet with her tears; and with her hair she wiped the tears away again, while she lovingly kissed His feet and poured the perfume over them.

wmth@Luke:7:41 @ »There were once two men in debt to one money-lender,« said Jesus; »one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.

wmth@Luke:7:42 @ But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?«

wmth@Luke:7:44 @ Then turning towards the woman He said to Simon, »Do you see this woman? I came into your house: you gave me no water for my feet; but she has made my feet wet with her tears, and then wiped the tears away with her hair.

wmth@Luke:7:47 @ This is the reason why I tell you that her sins, her many sins, are forgiven–because she has loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.«

wmth@Luke:7:48 @ And He said to her, »Your sins are forgiven.«

wmth@Luke:7:49 @ Then the other guests began to say to themselves, »Who can this man be who even forgives sins?«

wmth@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.

wmth@Luke:8:4 @ And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.

wmth@Luke:8:6 @ Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.

wmth@Luke:8:7 @ Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.

wmth@Luke:8:10 @ »To you,« He replied, »it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.

wmth@Luke:8:17 @ There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.

wmth@Luke:8:18 @ Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.«

wmth@Luke:8:19 @ Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.

wmth@Luke:8:20 @ But He was told, »Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you.«

wmth@Luke:8:21 @ »My mother and my brothers,« He replied, »are these who hear God's Message and obey it.«

wmth@Luke:8:22 @ One day He went on board a boat–both He and his disciples; and He said to them, »Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake.« So they set sail.

wmth@Luke:8:24 @ So they came and woke Him, crying, »Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning.« Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.

wmth@Luke:8:25 @ »Where is your faith?« He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, »Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him.«

wmth@Luke:8:27 @ Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons–for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.

wmth@Luke:8:32 @ Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.

wmth@Luke:8:33 @ The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.

wmth@Luke:8:34 @ The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;

wmth@Luke:8:35 @ whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and 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 terrified.

wmth@Luke:8:39 @ »Return home,« He said, »and tell there all that God has done for you.« So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.

wmth@Luke:8:41 @ Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;

wmth@Luke:8:43 @ And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage –and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her–

wmth@Luke:8:44 @ came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.

wmth@Luke:8:47 @ Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.

wmth@Luke:8:49 @ While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, »Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further.«

wmth@Luke:8:51 @ So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.

wmth@Luke:8:52 @ The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, »Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep.«

wmth@Luke:8:54 @ He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, »Child, awake!«

wmth@Luke:8:55 @ And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.

wmth@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.

wmth@Luke:9:1 @ Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;

wmth@Luke:9:3 @ And He commanded them, »Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.

wmth@Luke:9:5 @ Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them.«

wmth@Luke:9:6 @ So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.

wmth@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,

wmth@Luke:9:8 @ by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.

wmth@Luke:9:9 @ And Herod said, »John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?« And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.

wmth@Luke:9:12 @ Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, »Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district.«

wmth@Luke:9:14 @ (For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, »Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each.«

wmth@Luke:9:17 @ So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.

wmth@Luke:9:19 @ »John the Baptist,« they replied; »but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life.«

wmth@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.

wmth@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Luke:9:30 @ And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.

wmth@Luke:9:32 @ Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.

wmth@Luke:9:33 @ And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, »Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents–one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.« He did not know what he was saying.

wmth@Luke:9:34 @ But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.

wmth@Luke:9:35 @ Then there came a voice from within the cloud:»This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him.«

wmth@Luke:9:41 @ »O unbelieving and perverse generation!« replied Jesus; »how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me.«

wmth@Luke:9:42 @ Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.

wmth@Luke:9:46 @ Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.

wmth@Luke:9:53 @ But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.

wmth@Luke:9:56 @ And they went to another village.

wmth@Luke:9:57 @ And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, »I will follow you wherever you go.«

wmth@Luke:9:58 @ »The foxes have holes,« said Jesus, »and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.«

wmth@Luke:9:59 @ »Follow me,« He said to another. »Master,« the man replied, »allow me first to go and bury my father.«

wmth@Luke:9:61 @ »Master,« said yet another, »I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home.«

wmth@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them before Him, by twos, to go to every town or place which He Himself intended to visit.

wmth@Luke:10:2 @ And He addressed them thus: »The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few: therefore entreat the Owner of the harvest to send out more reapers into His fields. And now go.

wmth@Luke:10:6 @ And if there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon you.

wmth@Luke:10:7 @ And in that same house stay, eating and drinking at their table; for the labourer deserves his wages. Do not move from one house to another.

wmth@Luke:10:21 @ On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. »I give Thee fervent thanks,« He exclaimed, »O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

wmth@Luke:10:22 @ All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son may choose to reveal Him.«

wmth@Luke:10:25 @ Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question. »Rabbi,« he asked, »what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?«

wmth@Luke:10:26 @ »Go to the Law,« said Jesus; »what is written there? how does it read?«

wmth@Luke:10:31 @ Now a priest happened to be going down that way, and on seeing him passed by on the other side.

wmth@Luke:10:32 @ In like manner a Levite also came to the place, and seeing him passed by on the other side.

wmth@Luke:10:33 @ But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came where he lay, and seeing him was moved with pity.

wmth@Luke:10:34 @ He went to him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on him.

wmth@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to the innkeeper. »`Take care of him,' he said, `and whatever further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at my next visit.'

wmth@Luke:10:38 @ As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.

wmth@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.

wmth@Luke:10:40 @ Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, »Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me.«

wmth@Luke:11:1 @ At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, »Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.«

wmth@Luke:11:2 @ So He said to them, »When you pray, say, `Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;

wmth@Luke:11:7 @ »And he from indoors shall answer,« `Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'

wmth@Luke:11:11 @ And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?

wmth@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!«

wmth@Luke:11:16 @ Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.

wmth@Luke:11:19 @ And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Luke:11:22 @ but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.

wmth@Luke:11:23 @ Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.

wmth@Luke:11:26 @ Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.

wmth@Luke:11:27 @ As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, »Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked.«

wmth@Luke:11:28 @ »Nay rather,« He replied, »they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it.«

wmth@Luke:11:31 @ The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.

wmth@Luke:11:32 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.

wmth@Luke:11:35 @ Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.

wmth@Luke:11:39 @ The Master however said to him, »Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.

wmth@Luke:11:42 @ »But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.

wmth@Luke:11:47 @ Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.

wmth@Luke:11:48 @ It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.

wmth@Luke:11:49 @ »For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, `I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'«

wmth@Luke:12:1 @ Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, »Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.

wmth@John:2:16 @ And to the pigeon-dealers He said, »Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market.«

wmth@John:3:1 @ Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus–a ruler among the Jews.

wmth@John:3:2 @ He came to Jesus by night and said, »Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you are doing, unless God is with him.

wmth@John:3:4 @ »How is it possible,« Nicodemus asked, »for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?«

wmth@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit.«

wmth@John:3:10 @ »Are you,« replied Jesus, »`the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things?

wmth@John:3:13 @ There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

wmth@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized.

wmth@John:3:23 @ And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism.

wmth@John:3:26 @ they came to John and reported to him, »Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him.«

wmth@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.

wmth@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.

wmth@John:4:6 @ Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.

wmth@John:4:7 @ Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

wmth@John:4:11 @ »Sir,« she said, »you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?

wmth@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?«

wmth@John:4:15 @ »Sir,« said the woman, »give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well.«

wmth@John:4:20 @ Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.«

wmth@John:4:21 @ »Believe me,« said Jesus, »the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

wmth@John:4:23 @ But a time is coming –nay, has already come– when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

wmth@John:4:27 @ Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, »What is your wish?« or »Why are you talking with her?«

wmth@John:4:28 @ The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.

wmth@John:4:33 @ So the disciples began questioning one another. »Can it be,« they said, »that some one has brought Him something to eat?«

wmth@John:4:36 @ The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together.

wmth@John:4:37 @ For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'

wmth@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours.«

wmth@John:4:40 @ When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

wmth@John:4:46 @ So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

wmth@John:4:48 @ »Unless you and others see miracles and marvels,« said Jesus, »nothing will induce you to believe.«

wmth@John:4:53 @ Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, »Your son has recovered,« and he and his whole household became believers.

wmth@John:5:1 @ After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

wmth@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew `Bethesda.' It has five arcades.

wmth@John:5:3 @ In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.

wmth@John:5:5 @ And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

wmth@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, »Do you wish to have health and strength?«

wmth@John:5:13 @ But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.

wmth@John:5:17 @ His reply to their accusation was, »My Father works unceasingly, and so do I.«

wmth@John:5:18 @ On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death–because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.

wmth@John:5:19 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that the Son can do nothing of Himself–He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.

wmth@John:5:20 @ For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.

wmth@John:5:21 @ For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

wmth@John:5:22 @ The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,

wmth@John:5:23 @ that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.

wmth@John:5:26 @ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

wmth@John:5:32 @ There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.

wmth@John:5:36 @ »But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion –the very work which I am doing– affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.«

wmth@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me, has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

wmth@John:5:43 @ I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

wmth@John:5:44 @ How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?

wmth@John:5:45 @ »Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.

wmth@John:6:3 @ Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.

wmth@John:6:5 @ And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, »Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?«

wmth@John:6:8 @ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

wmth@John:6:9 @ »There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?«

wmth@John:6:12 @ When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, »Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost.«

wmth@John:6:13 @ Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves –the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating– they filled twelve baskets.

wmth@John:6:14 @ Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, »This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world.«

wmth@John:6:17 @ There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

wmth@John:6:22 @ Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.

wmth@John:6:23 @ Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

wmth@John:6:24 @ When however the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves also took boats and came to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

wmth@John:6:25 @ So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, »Rabbi, when did you come here?«

wmth@John:6:27 @ Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages–that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.«

wmth@John:6:31 @ Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written,

wmth@John:6:32 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread –the true bread– out of Heaven.

wmth@John:6:37 @ Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.

wmth@John:6:40 @ For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day.«

wmth@John:6:42 @ They kept asking, »Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?«

wmth@John:6:44 @ »no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.«

wmth@John:6:45 @ It stands written in the Prophets, Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.

wmth@John:6:46 @ No one has ever seen the Father–except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.

wmth@John:6:49 @ Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.

wmth@John:6:50 @ Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.

wmth@John:6:57 @ As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.

wmth@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate–for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever.«

wmth@John:6:60 @ Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard it, said, »This is hard to accept. Who can listen to such teaching?«

wmth@John:6:62 @ »Does this seem incredible to you? What then if you were to see the Son of Man ascending again where He was before?

wmth@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe.« For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

wmth@John:6:65 @ So He added, »That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father.«

wmth@John:6:66 @ Thereupon many of His disciples left Him and went away, and no longer associated with Him.

wmth@John:6:67 @ Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. »Will you go also?« He asked.

wmth@John:7:3 @ So His brothers said to Him, »Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.

wmth@John:7:5 @ For even His brothers were not believers in Him.

wmth@John:7:10 @ When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately.

wmth@John:7:11 @ Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, »Where is he?«

wmth@John:7:12 @ Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, »He is a good man.« Others said, »Not so: he is imposing on the people.«

wmth@John:7:17 @ If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me.

wmth@John:7:18 @ The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, and there is no deception in him.

wmth@John:7:22 @ Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.

wmth@John:7:26 @ But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ?

wmth@John:7:27 @ And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from.«

wmth@John:7:28 @ Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, »Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.

wmth@John:7:31 @ But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. »When the Christ comes,« they said, »will He perform more miracles than this teacher has performed?«

wmth@John:7:34 @ You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come.«

wmth@John:7:35 @ The Jews therefore said to one another, »Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

wmth@John:7:36 @ What do those words of his mean, `You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?«

wmth@John:7:41 @ Others said, »He is the Christ.« But others again, »Not so, for is the Christ to come from Galilee?

wmth@John:7:43 @ So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account.

wmth@John:8:2 @ At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

wmth@John:8:3 @ and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

wmth@John:8:7 @ When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, »Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her.«

wmth@John:8:10 @ Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, »Where are they? Has no one condemned you?«

wmth@John:8:11 @ »No one, Sir,« she replied. »And do not condemn you either,« said Jesus; »go, and from this time do not sin any more.«]

wmth@John:8:14 @ »Even if I am giving testimony about myself,« replied Jesus, »my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

wmth@John:8:16 @ And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

wmth@John:8:18 @ I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me.«

wmth@John:8:19 @ »Where is your Father?« they asked. »You know my Father as little as you know me.« He replied; »if you knew me, you would know my Father also.«

wmth@John:8:21 @ Again He said to them, »I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come.«

wmth@John:8:22 @ The Jews began to ask one another, »Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, `Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?«

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

wmth@John:8:28 @ So Jesus added, »When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

wmth@John:8:31 @ Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, »As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;

wmth@John:8:38 @ The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father.«

wmth@John:8:39 @ »Our father is Abraham,« they said. »If you were Abraham's children,« replied Jesus, »it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.

wmth@John:8:41 @ You are doing the deeds of your father. »We,« they replied, »are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God.«

wmth@John:8:42 @ »If God were your Father,« said Jesus, »you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but sent me.

Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

wmth@John:8:49 @ »I am not possessed by a demon,« replied Jesus. »On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

wmth@John:8:50 @ I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me–and who judges.

wmth@John:8:53 @ Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?«

wmth@John:8:54 @ »Were I to glorify myself,« answered Jesus, »I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me–namely my Father, who you say is your God.

wmth@John:8:56 @ Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad.«

wmth@John:8:59 @ Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.

wmth@John:9:3 @ »Neither he nor his parents sinned,« answered Jesus, »but he was born blind in order that God's mercy might be openly shown in him.

wmth@John:9:4 @ We must do the works of Him who sent me while there is daylight. Night is coming on, when no one can work.

wmth@John:9:8 @ His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, »Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?«

wmth@John:9:9 @ »Yes it is,« replied some of them. »No it is not,« said others, »but he is like him.« His own statement was, »I am the man.«

wmth@John:9:12 @ »Where is he?« they inquired, but the man did not know.

wmth@John:9:16 @ This led some of the Pharisees to say, »That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.«»How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?« argued others.

wmth@John:9:17 @ And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, »What is your account of him? –for he opened your eyes.«»He is a Prophet,« he replied.

wmth@John:9:24 @ A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, »Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner.«

wmth@John:9:25 @ »Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know,« he replied; »one thing I know–that I was once blind and that now I can see.«

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

wmth@John:9:30 @ »Why, this is marvellous!« the man replied; »you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes!

wmth@John:10:1 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.

wmth@John:10:2 @ But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

wmth@John:10:11 @ »I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.«

wmth@John:10:12 @ The hired servant –one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep– no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.

wmth@John:10:18 @ No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father.«

wmth@John:10:19 @ Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.

wmth@John:10:21 @ Others argued, »That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?«

wmth@John:10:24 @ when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, »How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly.«

wmth@John:10:25 @ »I have told you,« answered Jesus, »and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name–they give testimony about me.

wmth@John:10:29 @ What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.

wmth@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.«

wmth@John:10:32 @ Jesus remonstrated with them. »Many good deeds,« He said, »have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?«

wmth@John:10:36 @ how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am God's Son'?

wmth@John:10:37 @ If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.

wmth@John:10:38 @ But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father.«

wmth@John:10:40 @ Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.

wmth@John:10:41 @ Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, »John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true.«

wmth@John:10:42 @ And many became believers in Him there.

wmth@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill– Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

wmth@John:11:2 @ (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)

wmth@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

wmth@John:11:8 @ »Rabbi,« exclaimed the disciples, »the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?«

wmth@John:11:9 @ »Are there not twelve hours in the day?« replied Jesus. »If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble–because he sees the light of this world.

wmth@John:11:15 @ »Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him.«

wmth@John:11:19 @ and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.

wmth@John:11:21 @ So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. »Master, if you had been here,« she said, »my brother would not have died.

wmth@John:11:23 @ »Your brother shall rise again,« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:11:28 @ After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, »The Rabbi is here and is asking for you.«

wmth@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

wmth@John:11:31 @ So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.

wmth@John:11:32 @ Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, »Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.«

wmth@John:11:33 @ Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,

wmth@John:11:34 @ though deeply troubled, asked them, »Where have you laid him?«»Master, come and see,« was their reply.

wmth@John:11:37 @ But others of them asked, »Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?«

wmth@John:11:39 @ »Take away the stone,« said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, »Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died.«

wmth@John:11:41 @ So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, »Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.

wmth@John:11:45 @ Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews– namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds– became believers in Him;

wmth@John:11:47 @ Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. »What steps are we taking?« they asked one another; »for this man is performing a great number of miracles.

wmth@John:11:50 @ You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.«

wmth@John:11:54 @ Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.

wmth@John:11:56 @ They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, »What do you think? –will he come to the Festival at all?«

wmth@John:11:57 @ Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.

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

wmth@John:12:2 @ So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.

wmth@John:12:3 @ Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

wmth@John:12:7 @ But Jesus interposed. »Do not blame her,« He said, »allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.

wmth@John:18:2 @ Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.

wmth@John:18:3 @ So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

wmth@John:18:4 @ Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. »Who are you looking for?« He asked them.

wmth@John:18:7 @ Again therefore He asked them, »Who are you looking for?«»For Jesus the Nazarene,« they said.

wmth@John:18:8 @ »I have told you,« replied Jesus, »that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way.«

wmth@John:18:11 @ Jesus therefore said to Peter, »Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?«

wmth@John:18:13 @ They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

wmth@John:18:15 @ Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.

wmth@John:18:20 @ »As for me,« replied Jesus, »I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.

wmth@John:18:21 @ Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said.«

wmth@John:18:33 @ Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, »Are the King of the Jews?«

wmth@John:18:34 @ »Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, »See, there is the man.«

wmth@John:19:10 @ »Do you refuse to speak even to me?« asked Pilate; »do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?«

wmth@John:19:14 @ It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o'clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, »There is your king!«

wmth@John:19:18 @ where they nailed Him to a cross, and two others at the same time, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

wmth@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages–Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

wmth@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Do not let us tear it. Let us draw lots for it.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, That was just what the soldiers did.

wmth@John:19:25 @ Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

wmth@John:19:26 @ So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, »Behold, your son!«

wmth@John:19:27 @ Then He said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.

wmth@John:19:29 @ There was a jar of wine standing there. With this wine they filled a sponge, put it on the end of a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

wmth@John:19:32 @ Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.

wmth@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says,

wmth@John:19:41 @ There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.

wmth@John:19:42 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation for the Jewish Passover, and the tomb was close at hand, they put Jesus there.

wmth@John:20:2 @ So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple –the one who was dear to Jesus– and to tell them, »They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.«

wmth@John:20:4 @ but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it before he did.

wmth@John:20:5 @ Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there on the ground, but he did not go in.

wmth@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. There on the ground he saw the cloths;

wmth@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced.

wmth@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.

wmth@John:20:13 @ They spoke to her. »Why are you weeping?« they asked. »Because,« she replied, »they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.«

wmth@John:20:14 @ While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but did not recognize Him.

wmth@John:20:15 @ »Why are you weeping?« He asked; »who are you looking for?« She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, »Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him.«

wmth@John:20:16 @ »Mary!« said Jesus. She turned to Him. »Rabboni!« she cried in Hebrew: the word means `Teacher!'

wmth@John:20:17 @ »Do not cling to me,« said Jesus, »for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'«

wmth@John:20:18 @ Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. »I have seen the Master,« she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.

wmth@John:20:19 @ On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, »Peace be to you!«

wmth@John:20:21 @ A second time, therefore, He said to them, »Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send you.«

wmth@John:20:27 @ Then He said to Thomas, »Bring your finger here and feel my hands; bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready to disbelieve but to believe.«

wmth@John:20:30 @ There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.

wmth@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.

wmth@John:21:5 @ He called to them. »Children,« He said, »have you any food there?«»No,« they answered.

wmth@John:21:7 @ This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, »It is the Master.« Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, »It is the Master,« drew on his fisherman's shirt –for he had not been wearing it– put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.

wmth@John:21:9 @ As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.

wmth@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.

wmth@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?«»Yes, Master,« was his answer; »you know that you are dear to me.« »Then feed my lambs,« replied Jesus.

wmth@John:21:16 @ Again a second time He asked him, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?«»Yes, Master,« he said, »you know that you are dear to me.«»Then be a shepherd to my sheep,« He said.

wmth@John:21:18 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish to go.«

wmth@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did–so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.

wmth@Acts:7:13 @ On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Pharaoh was informed of Joseph's parentage.

wmth@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent and invited his father Jacob and all his family, numbering seventy-five persons, to come to him,

wmth@Acts:7:15 @ and Jacob went down into Egypt. There he died, and so did our forefathers,

wmth@Acts:7:18 @ until there arose a foreign king over Egypt who knew nothing of Joseph.«

wmth@Acts:7:19 @ He adopted a crafty policy towards our race, and oppressed our forefathers, making them cast out their infants so that they might not be permitted to live.

wmth@Acts:7:20 @ At this time Moses was born–a wonderfully beautiful child; and for three months he was cared for in his father's house.

wmth@Acts:7:21 @ At length he was cast out, but Pharaoh's daughter adopted him, and brought him up as her own son.

wmth@Acts:7:26 @ The next day, also, he came and found two of them fighting, and he endeavoured to make peace between them. »`Sirs,' he said, `you are brothers. Why are you wronging one another?'

wmth@Acts:7:29 @ »Alarmed at this question, Moses fled from the country and went to live in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons.«

wmth@Acts:7:30 @ »But at the end of forty years there appeared to him in the Desert of Mount Sinai an angel in the middle of a flame of fire in a bush.«

wmth@Acts:7:31 @ When Moses saw this he wondered at the sight; but on his going up to look further, the voice of the Lord was heard, saying,

wmth@Acts:7:32 @ »`I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.'« Quaking with fear Moses did not dare gaze.

wmth@Acts:7:38 @ `This is he who was among the Congregation in the Desert, together with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and with our forefathers, who received ever-living utterances to hand on to us.

wmth@Acts:7:39 @ »Our forefathers, however, would not submit to him, but spurned his authority and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.«

wmth@Acts:7:44 @ »Our forefathers had the Tent of the Testimony in the Desert, built as He who spoke to Moses had instructed him to make it in imitation of the model which he had seen.«

wmth@Acts:7:45 @ That Tent was bequeathed to the next generation of our forefathers. Under Joshua they brought it with them when they were taking possession of the land of the Gentile nations, whom God drove out before them. So it continued till David's time.

wmth@Acts:7:52 @ Which of the Prophets did not your forefathers persecute? Yes, they killed those who announced beforehand the advent of the righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become–

wmth@Acts:8:5 @ while Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed Christ there.

wmth@Acts:8:8 @ And there was great joy in that city.

wmth@Acts:8:9 @ Now for some time past there had been a man named Simon living there, who had been practising magic and astonishing the Samaritans, pretending that he was more than human.

wmth@Acts:8:22 @ Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, in the hope that the purpose which is in your heart may perhaps be forgiven you.

wmth@Acts:8:27 @ Upon this he rose and went. Now, as it happened, an Ethiopian eunuch who was in a position of high authority with Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, as her treasurer, had visited Jerusalem to worship there,

wmth@Acts:8:36 @ So they proceeded on their way till they came to some water; and the eunuch exclaimed, »See, here is water; what is there to prevent my being baptized?«

wmth@Acts:8:40 @ but Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town he everywhere made known the Good News until he reached Caesarea.

wmth@Acts:9:2 @ went to the High Priest and begged from him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, in order that if he found any believers there, either men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.

wmth@Acts:9:3 @ But on the journey, as he was getting near Damascus, suddenly there flashed round him a light from Heaven;

wmth@Acts:9:10 @ Now in Damascus there was a disciple of the name of Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, »Ananias!«»I am here, Lord,« he answered.

wmth@Acts:9:14 @ and here he is authorized by the High Priests to arrest all who call upon Thy name.«

wmth@Acts:9:17 @ So Ananias went and entered the house; and, laying his two hands upon Saul, said, »Saul, brother, the Lord –even Jesus who appeared to you on your journey– has sent me, that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.«

wmth@Acts:9:18 @ Instantly there dropped from his eyes what seemed to be scales, and he could see once more. Upon this he rose and received baptism;

wmth@Acts:9:21 @ and his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, »Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High Priests?«

wmth@Acts:9:26 @ So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself was a disciple.

wmth@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man of the name of Aeneas, who for eight years had kept his bed, through being paralysed.

wmth@Acts:9:36 @ Among the disciples at Jaffa was a woman called Tabitha, or, as the name may be translated, `Dorcas.' Her life was wholly devoted to the good and charitable actions which she was constantly doing.

wmth@Acts:9:37 @ But, as it happened, just at that time she was taken ill and died. After washing her body they laid it out in a room upstairs.

wmth@Acts:9:40 @ Peter, however, putting every one out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and then turning to the body, he said, »Tabitha, rise.« Dorcas at once opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up.

wmth@Acts:9:41 @ Then, giving her his hand, he raised her to her feet and, calling to him God's people and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.

wmth@Acts:10:24 @ and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was awaiting their arrival, and had invited all his relatives and intimate friends to be present.

wmth@Acts:10:29 @ So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you sent for me.«

wmth@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Jaffa, and invite Simon, surnamed Peter, to come here. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, close to the sea.'

wmth@Acts:10:33 @ »Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say.«

wmth@Acts:10:34 @ Then Peter began to speak. »I clearly see,« he said, »that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;

wmth@Acts:10:38 @ It tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that He went about everywhere doing acts of kindness, and curing all who were being continually oppressed by the Devil–for God was with Jesus.

wmth@Acts:11:5 @ »While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer,« he said, »in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.

wmth@Acts:11:11 @ »Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.«

wmth@Acts:11:12 @ And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.

wmth@Acts:11:17 @ »If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?«

wmth@Acts:11:21 @ The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.

wmth@Acts:11:23 @ On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.

wmth@Acts:12:1 @ Now, about that time, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;

wmth@Acts:12:2 @ and James, John's brother, he beheaded.

wmth@Acts:12:6 @ Now when Herod was on the point of taking him out of prison, that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards were on duty outside the door.

wmth@Acts:12:11 @ Peter coming to himself said, »Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and has rescued me from the power of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating.«

wmth@Acts:12:12 @ So, after thinking things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.

wmth@Acts:12:14 @ and recognizing Peter's voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing there.

wmth@Acts:12:17 @ But he motioned with his hand for silence, and then described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. »Tell all this to James and the brethren,« he added. Then he left them, and went to another place.

wmth@Acts:12:18 @ When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.

wmth@Acts:12:19 @ And when Herod had had him searched for and could not find him, after sharply questioning the guards he ordered them away to execution. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea and remained there.

wmth@Acts:12:20 @ Now the people of Tyre and Sidon had incurred Herod's violent displeasure. So they sent a large deputation to wait on him; and having secured the good will of Blastus, his treasurer, they begged the king to be friendly with them again, because their country was dependent on his for its food supply.

wmth@Acts:12:21 @ So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;

wmth@Acts:13:1 @ Now there were in Antioch, in the Church there –as Prophets and teachers– barnabas, Symeon surnamed `the black,' Lucius the Cyrenaean, Manaen (who was Herod the Tetrarch's foster-brother), and Saul.

wmth@Acts:13:4 @ They therefore, being thus sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleuceia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.

wmth@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole length of the island as far as Paphos, they there met with a Jewish magician and false prophet, Bar-Jesus by name,

wmth@Acts:13:11 @ The Lord's hand is now upon you, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the light of day.« Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and, as he walked about, he begged people to lead him by the hand.

wmth@Acts:13:14 @ But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.

wmth@Acts:13:16 @ So Paul rose, and motioning with his hand for silence, said, »Israelites, and you others who fear God, pay attention to me.

wmth@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people of Israel chose our forefathers, and made the people great during their stay in Egypt, until with wondrous power He brought them out from that land.

wmth@Acts:13:19 @ Then, after overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided that country among them as their inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years;

wmth@Acts:13:25 @ But John, towards the end of his career, repeatedly asked the people, »`What do you suppose me to be? I am not the Christ. But there is One coming after me whose sandal I am not worthy to unfasten.'

wmth@Acts:13:32 @ And we bring you the Good News about the promise made to our forefathers,

wmth@Acts:13:35 @ Because in another Psalm also He says,

wmth@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after having been useful to his own generation in accordance with God's purpose, did fall asleep, was gathered to his forefathers, and did undergo decay.

wmth@Acts:13:38 @ »Understand therefore, brethren, that through this Jesus forgiveness of sins is announced to you;

wmth@Acts:13:44 @ On the next Sabbath almost the whole population of the city came together to hear the Lord's Message.

wmth@Acts:14:1 @ At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.

wmth@Acts:14:3 @ Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.

wmth@Acts:14:7 @ And there they continued to tell the Good News.

wmth@Acts:14:12 @ They called Barnabas `Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, `Hermes.'

wmth@Acts:14:21 @ and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.

wmth@Acts:14:22 @ Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, »It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Acts:14:26 @ Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.

wmth@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.

wmth@Acts:15:2 @ Between these new comers and Paul and Barnabas there was no little disagreement and controversy, until at last it was decided that Paul and Barnabas and some other brethren should go up to consult the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem on this matter.

wmth@Acts:15:3 @ So they set out, being accompanied for a short distance by some other members of the Church; and as they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told the whole story of the conversion of the Gentiles and inspired all the brethren with great joy.

wmth@Acts:15:7 @ and after there had been a long discussion Peter rose to his feet. »It is within your own knowledge,« he said, »that God originally made choice among you that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the Message of the Good News, and believe.

wmth@Acts:15:10 @ Now, therefore, why try an experiment upon God, by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?

wmth@Acts:15:19 @ »My judgement, therefore, is against inflicting unexpected annoyance on those of the Gentiles who are turning to God.

wmth@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town, being read, as he is, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the various synagogues.«

wmth@Acts:15:22 @ Thereupon it was decided by the Apostles and Elders, with the approval of the whole Church, to choose suitable persons from among themselves and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas. Judas, called Bar-sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, were selected,

wmth@Acts:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who are themselves bringing you the same message by word of mouth.

wmth@Acts:15:30 @ They, therefore, having been solemnly sent, came down to Antioch, where they called together the whole assembly and delivered the letter.

wmth@Acts:15:33 @ After spending some time there they received an affectionate farewell from the brethren to return to those who had sent them.

wmth@Acts:15:35 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and, in company with many others, telling the Good News of the Lord's Message.

wmth@Acts:15:36 @ After a while Paul said to Barnabas, »Suppose we now revisit the brethren in the various towns in which we have made known the Lord's Message–to see whether they are prospering!«

wmth@Acts:15:37 @ Barnabas, however, was bent on taking with them John, whose other name was Mark,

wmth@Acts:15:39 @ So there arose a serious disagreement between them, which resulted in their parting from one another, Barnabas taking Mark and setting sail for Cyprus.

wmth@Acts:16:1 @ He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. At Lystra he found a disciple, Timothy by name–the son of a Christian Jewess, though he had a Greek father.

wmth@Acts:16:3 @ and Paul desiring that he should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

wmth@Acts:16:9 @ Here, one night, Paul saw a vision. There was a Macedonian who was standing, entreating him and saying, »Come over into Macedonia and help us.«

wmth@Acts:16:10 @ So when he had seen the vision, we immediately looked out for an opportunity of passing on into Macedonia, confidently inferring that God had called us to proclaim the Good News to the people there.

wmth@Acts:16:12 @ and thence to Philippi, which is a city in Macedonia, the first in its district, a Roman colony. And there we stayed some little time.

wmth@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath we went beyond the city gate to the riverside, where we had reason to believe that there was a place for prayer; and sitting down we talked with the women who had come together.

wmth@Acts:16:14 @ Among our hearers was one named Lydia, a dealer in purple goods. She belonged to the city of Thyateira, and was a worshipper of the true God. The Lord opened her heart, so that she gave attention to what Paul was saying.

wmth@Acts:16:15 @ When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, »If in your judgement I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.« And she made us go there.

wmth@Acts:16:16 @ One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who claimed to be inspired and was accustomed to bring her owners large profits by telling fortunes.

wmth@Acts:16:18 @ This she persisted in for a considerable time, until Paul, wearied out, turned round and said to the spirit, »I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.« And it came out immediately.

wmth@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the magistrates in the public square.

wmth@Acts:16:26 @ when suddenly there was such a violent shock of earthquake that the prison shook to its foundations. Instantly the doors all flew open, and the chains fell off from every prisoner.

wmth@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul shouted loudly to him, saying, »Do yourself no injury: we are all here.

wmth@Acts:16:36 @ So the jailer brought Paul word, saying, »The praetors have sent orders for you to be released. Now therefore you can go, and proceed on your way in peace.«

wmth@Acts:17:1 @ Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

wmth@Acts:17:5 @ But the jealousy of the Jews was aroused, and, calling to their aid some ill-conditioned and idle fellows, they got together a riotous mob and filled the city with uproar. They then attacked the house of Jason and searched for Paul and Silas, to bring them out before the assembly of people.

wmth@Acts:17:6 @ But, failing to find them, they dragged Jason and some of the other brethren before the magistrates of the city, loudly accusing them. »These men,« they said, »who have raised a tumult throughout the Empire, have come here also.

wmth@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has received them into his house; and they all set Caesar's authority at defiance, declaring that there is another Emperor– one called Jesus.«

wmth@Acts:17:11 @ The Jews at Beroea were of a nobler disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they very readily received the Message, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether it was as Paul stated.

wmth@Acts:17:13 @ As soon, however, as the Jews of Thessalonica learnt that God's Message had been proclaimed by Paul at Beroea, they came there also, and incited the mob to a riot.

wmth@Acts:17:17 @ So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the other worshippers, and in the market place, day after day, with those whom he happened to meet.

wmth@Acts:17:18 @ A few of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him. Some of them asked, »What has this beggarly babbler to say?«»His business,« said others, »seems to be to cry up some foreign gods.« This was because he had been telling the Good News of Jesus and the Resurrection.

wmth@Acts:17:20 @ For the things you are saying sound strange to us. We should therefore like to be told exactly what they mean.«

wmth@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along and observed the things you worship, I found also an altar bearing the inscription, `TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' »The Being, therefore, whom you, without knowing Him, revere, Him I now proclaim to you.

wmth@Acts:17:26 @ He caused to spring from one forefather people of every race, for them to live on the whole surface of the earth, and marked out for them an appointed span of life and the boundaries of their homes;

wmth@Acts:17:30 @ Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence. But now He commands all men everywhere to repent,

wmth@Acts:17:32 @ When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, »We will hear you again on that subject.«

wmth@Acts:17:34 @ A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among them being Dionysius a member of the Council, a gentlewoman named Damaris, and some others.

wmth@Acts:18:2 @ Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit;

wmth@Acts:18:19 @ They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

wmth@Acts:19:1 @ During the stay of Apollos in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.

wmth@Acts:19:2 @ »Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?« he asked them. »No,« they replied, »we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit.«

wmth@Acts:19:8 @ Afterwards he went into the synagogue. There for three months he continued to preach fearlessly, explaining in words which carried conviction the truths which concern the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Acts:19:13 @ But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, »I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches.«

wmth@Acts:19:14 @ There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew of high-priestly family, who were doing this.

wmth@Acts:19:17 @ All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.

wmth@Acts:19:19 @ and not a few of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the presence of all. The total value was reckoned and found to be 50,000 silver coins.

wmth@Acts:19:23 @ Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.

wmth@Acts:19:24 @ There was a certain Demetrius, a silversmith, who made miniature silver sanctuaries of Diana, a business which brought great gain to the mechanics in his employ.

wmth@Acts:19:25 @ He called his workmen together, and others who were engaged in similar trades, and said to them, »You men well know that our prosperity depends on this business of ours;

wmth@Acts:19:27 @ There is danger, therefore, not only that this our trade will become of no account, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will fall into utter disrepute, and that before long she will be actually deposed from her majestic rank–she who is now worshipped by the whole province of Asia; nay, by the whole world.«

wmth@Acts:19:32 @ The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.

wmth@Acts:19:34 @ No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. »Great is the Ephesian Diana,« they said.

wmth@Acts:19:35 @ At length the Recorder quieted them down. »Men of Ephesus,« he said, »who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

wmth@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.

wmth@Acts:19:38 @ If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.

wmth@Acts:19:39 @ But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.

wmth@Acts:19:40 @ For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob.«

wmth@Acts:20:2 @ Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.

wmth@Acts:20:6 @ But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week.

wmth@Acts:20:8 @ Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,

wmth@Acts:20:13 @ The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.

wmth@Acts:20:15 @ Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following reached Miletus.

wmth@Acts:20:22 @ »And now, impelled by a sense of duty, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

wmth@Acts:20:32 @ »And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace. He is able to build you up and to give you your inheritance among His people.«

wmth@Acts:21:1 @ When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

wmth@Acts:21:3 @ After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

wmth@Acts:21:6 @ we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.

wmth@Acts:21:7 @ As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.

wmth@Acts:21:8 @ On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

wmth@Acts:21:13 @ His reply was, »What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus.«

wmth@Acts:21:17 @ At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.

wmth@Acts:21:20 @ And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, »You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.

wmth@Acts:21:23 @ so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.

wmth@Acts:21:24 @ Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.

wmth@Acts:21:26 @ So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.

wmth@Acts:21:28 @ They laid hands on him, crying out, »Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place.«

wmth@Acts:21:30 @ The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.

wmth@Acts:21:34 @ Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

wmth@Acts:21:40 @ So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.

wmth@Acts:22:1 @ »Brethren and fathers,« he said, »listen to my defence which I now make before you.«

wmth@Acts:22:3 @ »I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I was carefully trained at the feet of Gamaliel in the Law of our forefathers, and, like all of you to-day, was zealous for God.«

wmth@Acts:22:5 @ as the High Priest also and all the Elders can bear me witness. It was, too, from them that I received letters to the brethren in Damascus, and I was already on my way to Damascus, intending to bring those also who had fled there, in chains to Jerusalem, to be punished.

wmth@Acts:22:10 @ And I asked, »`What am I to do, Lord?' «And the Lord said to me, »`Rise, and go into Damascus. There you shall be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'

wmth@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, `The God of our forefathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the righteous One and hear Him speak.

wmth@Acts:23:3 @ »Before long,« exclaimed Paul, »God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?«

wmth@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.

wmth@Acts:23:9 @ So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, »We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel–!«

wmth@Acts:23:13 @ There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.

wmth@Acts:23:15 @ Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place.«

wmth@Acts:23:19 @ Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, »What have you to tell me?«

wmth@Acts:23:21 @ I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you.«

wmth@Acts:23:24 @ He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.

wmth@Acts:23:35 @ he said, »I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come.« And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.

wmth@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man Paul a source of mischief and a disturber of the peace among all the Jews throughout the Empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes.

wmth@Acts:24:12 @ and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.

wmth@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to you–that in the way which they style a heresy, I worship the God of our forefathers, believing everything that is taught in the Law or is written in the Prophets,

wmth@Acts:24:15 @ and having a hope directed towards God, which my accusers themselves also entertain, that before long there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

wmth@Acts:24:18 @ While I was busy about these, they found me in the Temple purified, with no crowd around me and no uproar; but there were certain Jews from the province of Asia.

wmth@Acts:24:19 @ They ought to have been here before you, and to have been my prosecutors, if they have any charge to bring against me.

wmth@Acts:25:4 @ Festus, however, replied that Paul was in custody in Caesarea, and that he was himself going there very soon.

wmth@Acts:25:5 @ »Therefore let those of you,« he said, »who can come, go down with me, and impeach the man, if there is anything amiss in him.«

wmth@Acts:25:8 @ But, in reply, Paul said, »Neither against the Jewish Law, nor against the Temple, nor against Caesar, have I committed any offence whatever.«

wmth@Acts:25:9 @ Then Festus, being anxious to gratify the Jews, asked Paul, »Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there stand your trial before me on these charges?«

wmth@Acts:25:10 @ »I am standing before Caesar's tribunal,« replied Paul, »where alone I ought to be tried. The Jews have no real ground of complaint against me, as in fact you yourself are beginning to see more clearly.

wmth@Acts:25:11 @ If, however, I have done wrong and have committed any offence for which I deserve to die, I do not ask to be excused that penalty. But if there is no truth in what these men allege against me, no one has the right to give me up to them as a favour. I appeal to Caesar.«

wmth@Acts:25:14 @ and, during their rather long stay, Festus laid Paul's case before the king. »There is a man here,« he said, »whom Felix left a prisoner,

wmth@Acts:25:17 @ »When, therefore, a number of them came here, the next day I took my seat on the tribunal, without any loss of time, and ordered the man to be brought in.«

wmth@Acts:25:20 @ I was at a loss how to investigate such questions, and asked Paul whether he would care to go to Jerusalem and there stand his trial on these matters.

wmth@Acts:25:24 @ Then Festus said, »King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see here the man about whom the whole nation of the Jews made suit to me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

wmth@Acts:26:5 @ For they all know me of old –if they would but testify to the fact– how, being an adherent of the strictest sect of our religion, my life was that of a Pharisee.

wmth@Acts:26:6 @ And now I stand here impeached because of my hope in the fulfilment of the promise made by God to our forefathers–

wmth@Acts:26:18 @ that they may turn from darkness to light and from the obedience to Satan to God, in order to receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified through faith in Me.'

wmth@Acts:26:19 @ »Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;«

wmth@Acts:26:29 @ »My prayer to God, whether briefly or at length,« replied Paul, »would be that not only you but all who are my hearers to-day, might become such as I am–except these chains.«

wmth@Acts:26:31 @ and, having withdrawn, they talked to one another and said, »This man is doing nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.«

wmth@Acts:27:1 @ Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;

wmth@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends and profit by their generous care.

wmth@Acts:27:6 @ There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.

wmth@Acts:27:11 @ But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;

wmth@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbour was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix –a harbour on the coast of Crete facing north-east and south-east– to winter there.

wmth@Acts:27:14 @ But it was not long before a furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.

wmth@Acts:27:15 @ She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.

wmth@Acts:27:16 @ Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;

wmth@Acts:27:20 @ Then, when for several days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still harassed us, the last ray of hope was now vanishing.

wmth@Acts:27:22 @ But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.

wmth@Acts:27:23 @ For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,

wmth@Acts:27:25 @ »Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.

wmth@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.

wmth@Acts:27:34 @ I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from the head of any one of you.«

wmth@Acts:27:37 @ There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.

wmth@Acts:27:41 @ But coming to a place where two seas met, they stranded the ship, and her bow sticking fast remained immovable, while the stern began to go to pieces under the heavy hammering of the sea.

wmth@Acts:27:44 @ and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. In this way they all got safely to land.

wmth@Acts:28:3 @ Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.

wmth@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, »Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live.«

wmth@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.

wmth@Acts:28:8 @ It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.

wmth@Acts:28:9 @ After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.

wmth@Acts:28:11 @ Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the `Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.

wmth@Acts:28:13 @ From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.

wmth@Acts:28:14 @ Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.

wmth@Acts:28:15 @ Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.

wmth@Acts:28:17 @ After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, »As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.

wmth@Acts:28:20 @ For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me.«

wmth@Acts:28:21 @ »For our part,« they replied, »we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.

wmth@Acts:28:22 @ But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against.«

wmth@Acts:28:24 @ Some were convinced; others refused to believe.

wmth@Acts:28:25 @ Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, »Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:

wmth@Acts:28:28 @ »Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation –God's salvation– has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed.«

wmth@Romans:1:7 @ To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:1:12 @ in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

wmth@Romans:1:13 @ And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you –though until now I have been disappointed– in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

wmth@Romans:1:14 @ I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

wmth@Romans:1:25 @ For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator–He who is for ever blessed. Amen.

wmth@Romans:1:27 @ in just the same way –neglecting that for which nature intends women– burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

wmth@Romans:1:32 @ In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.

wmth@Romans:2:1 @ You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;

wmth@Romans:2:8 @ while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,

wmth@Romans:2:10 @ whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right–to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.

wmth@Romans:2:20 @ a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:

wmth@Romans:3:10 @ Thus it stands written, »There is not one righteous man.

wmth@Romans:3:11 @ There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.

wmth@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right–no, not so much as one.«

wmth@Romans:3:18 @ »There is no fear of God before their eyes.«

wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.

wmth@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?

wmth@Romans:4:5 @ whereas in the case of a man who pleads no actions of his own, but simply believes in Him who declares the ungodly free from guilt, his faith is placed to his credit as righteousness.

wmth@Romans:4:11 @ Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised–in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit;

wmth@Romans:4:12 @ and the forefather of the circumcised, namely of those who not merely are circumcised, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our forefather Abraham had while he was as yet uncircumcised.

wmth@Romans:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.

wmth@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.

wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,

wmth@Romans:4:18 @ Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words

wmth@Romans:5:7 @ Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

wmth@Romans:5:9 @ If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.

wmth@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.

wmth@Romans:5:20 @ Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;

wmth@Romans:6:4 @ Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.

wmth@Romans:6:12 @ Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;

wmth@Romans:6:15 @ Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!

wmth@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?

wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

wmth@Romans:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

wmth@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.

wmth@Romans:7:21 @ I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

wmth@Romans:7:23 @ but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body–the Law of sin.

wmth@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

wmth@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.

wmth@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

wmth@Romans:8:15 @ You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Romans:8:21 @ Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.

wmth@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.

wmth@Romans:8:27 @ and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

wmth@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

wmth@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers;

wmth@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?

wmth@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.

wmth@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,

wmth@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.

wmth@Romans:9:10 @ Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac–

wmth@Romans:9:11 @ and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,

wmth@Romans:9:13 @ This agrees with the other Scripture which says,

wmth@Romans:9:14 @ What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?

wmth@Romans:9:18 @ This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.

wmth@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?

wmth@Romans:10:14 @ But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

wmth@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.

wmth@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.

wmth@Romans:11:14 @ trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.

wmth@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,

wmth@Romans:11:21 @ Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather–for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.

wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;

wmth@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.

wmth@Romans:11:31 @ so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.

wmth@Romans:12:1 @ I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.

wmth@Romans:12:4 @ For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

wmth@Romans:12:5 @ so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

wmth@Romans:12:8 @ The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully.

wmth@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.

wmth@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.

wmth@Romans:12:20 @ On the contrary, therefore,

wmth@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.

wmth@Romans:13:5 @ We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.

wmth@Romans:13:6 @ Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.

wmth@Romans:13:9 @ For the precepts, and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command,

wmth@Romans:13:10 @ Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with the armour of Light.

wmth@Romans:13:13 @ Living as we do in broad daylight, let us conduct ourselves becomingly, not indulging in revelry and drunkenness, nor in lust and debauchery, nor in quarrelling and jealousy.

wmth@Romans:14:1 @ I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.

wmth@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

wmth@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.

wmth@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

wmth@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

wmth@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.

wmth@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

wmth@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

wmth@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.

wmth@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.

wmth@Romans:15:5 @ And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,

wmth@Romans:15:6 @ so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:15:7 @ Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

wmth@Romans:15:8 @ My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness –in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers–

wmth@Romans:15:14 @ But as to you, brethren, I am convinced –yes, I Paul am convinced– that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.

wmth@Romans:15:17 @ I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.

wmth@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,

wmth@Romans:15:20 @ making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.

wmth@Romans:15:28 @ So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;

wmth@Romans:16:14 @ Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and to the brethren associated with them;

wmth@Romans:16:16 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ send greetings to you.

wmth@Romans:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

wmth@Romans:16:19 @ Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

wmth@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host, who is also the host of the whole Church, greets you. So do Erastus, the treasurer of the city, and Quartus our brother.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God–and our brother Sosthenes:

wmth@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony –all of you– and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says »I belong to Paul;« another »I belong to Apollos;« a third »I belong to Peter;« a fourth »I belong to Christ.«

wmth@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:15 @ for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;

wmth@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when some one says, »I belong to Paul,« and another says, »I belong to Apollos,« is not this the way men of the world speak?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:10 @ In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I –like a competent master-builder– have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:12 @ And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw–

wmth@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:3 @ I however am very little concerned at undergoing your scrutiny, or that of other men; in fact I do not even scrutinize myself.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:6 @ In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, »Nothing beyond what is written!« –so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:7 @ Why, who gives you your superiority, my brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? And if you really did receive it, why boast as if this were not so?

wmth@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For even if you were to have ten thousand spiritual instructors–for all that you could not have several fathers. It is I who in Christ Jesus became your father through the Good News.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I entreat you therefore to become like me.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you. Spiritually he is my dearly-loved and faithful child. He will remind you of my habits as a Christian teacher–the manner in which I teach everywhere in every Church.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and of a kind unheard of even among the Gentiles–a man has his father's wife!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are all assembled and my spirit is with you, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

wmth@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep our festival not with old yeast nor with the yeast of what is evil and mischievous, but with bread free from yeast–the bread of transparent sincerity and of truth.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of »brother,« if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church–is it whom you make your judges?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,

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

wmth@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:20 @ And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:1 @ I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:4 @ A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:7 @ Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God–one in one direction and one in another.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to those already married my instructions are –yet not mine, but the Lord's– that a wife is not to leave her husband;

wmth@1Corinthians:7:11 @ or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest it is I who speak–not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman who has an unbelieving husband–if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become –and is– holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:15 @ If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

wmth@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand–close to God.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business –that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world– how she shall please her husband.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If, however, a father thinks he is acting unbecomingly towards his still unmarried daughter if she be past the bloom of her youth, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin; she and her suitor should be allowed to marry.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But if a father stands firm in his resolve, being free from all external constraint and having a legal right to act as he pleases, and in his own mind has come to the decision to keep his daughter unmarried, he will do well.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who gives his daughter in marriage does well, and yet he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgement, her state is a more enviable one if she remains as she is; and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:4 @ As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth –and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords–

wmth@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and for whose service we exist, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom we and all things exist.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:8 @ It is true that a particular kind of food will not bring us into God's presence; we are neither inferior to others if we abstain from it, nor superior to them if we eat it.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer–your brother, for whom Christ died!

wmth@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not a right to take with us on our journeys a Christian sister as our wife, as the rest of the Apostles do–and the Lord's brothers and Peter?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier ever serves at his own cost? Who plants a vineyard and yet does not eat any of the grapes? Or who tends a herd of cattle and yet does not taste their milk?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is God simply thinking about the oxen? Or is it really in our interest that He speaks? Of course, it was written in our interest, because it is His will that when a plough-man ploughs, and a thresher threshes, it should be in the hope of sharing that which comes as the result.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If other teachers possess that right over you, do not we possess it much more? Yet we have not availed ourselves of the right, but we patiently endure all things rather than hinder in the least degree the progress of the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I, for my part, have not used, and do not use, my full rights in any of these things. Nor do I now write with that object so far as I myself am concerned, for I would rather die than have anybody make this boast of mine an empty one.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I hit hard and straight at my own body and lead it off into slavery, lest possibly, after I have been a herald to others, I should myself be rejected.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:23 @ Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise–your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:18 @ for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;

wmth@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathens you went astray after dumb idols, wherever you happened to be led.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of `tongues;' to another the interpretation of tongues.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be?

wmth@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one part, where would the body be?

wmth@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:22 @ No, it is quite otherwise. Even those parts of the body which are apparently somewhat feeble are yet indispensable;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one part is suffering, every other part suffers with it; or if one part is receiving special honor, every other part shares in the joy.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And by God's appointment there are in the Church–first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of `tongues.'

wmth@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all teachers?

wmth@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:5 @ She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:6 @ She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if there are languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be brought to an end.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:13 @ And so there remain Faith, Hope, Love–these three; and of these the greatest is Love.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But, brethren, as things are, if I come to you speaking in `tongues,' what benefit shall I confer on you, if the utterance is neither in the form of a revelation nor of additional knowledge nor of prophecy nor of teaching?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:8 @ If the bugle –to take another example– gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, we will suppose, a great number of languages in the world, and no creature is without a language.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding –so as to instruct others also– than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:24 @ If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,

wmth@1Corinthians:14:25 @ and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;

wmth@1Corinthians:14:28 @ or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:29 @ But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:30 @ And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?

wmth@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise what will become of those who got themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are these baptized for them?

wmth@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:44 @ an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

wmth@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:20 @ The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ–the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:15 @ It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere –so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour–

wmth@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?

wmth@2Corinthians:2:7 @ So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:8 @ I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For in writing to you I have also this object in view–to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,

wmth@2Corinthians:2:13 @ yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

wmth@2Corinthians:2:17 @ We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:2 @ Our letter of recommendation is yourselves–a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses,

wmth@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now by »the Lord« is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:13 @ But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, we also believe, and therefore we speak.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:6 @ We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

wmth@2Corinthians:5:9 @ And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:12 @ There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:15 @ Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore,

wmth@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Having therefore these promises, beloved friends, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of body and of spirit, and secure perfect holiness through the fear of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even after our arrival in Macedonia we could get no relief such as human nature craves. We were greatly harassed; there were conflicts without and fears within.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not to punish the offender, nor to secure justice for him who had suffered the wrong, but it was chiefly in order that your earnest feeling on our behalf might become manifest to yourselves in the sight of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:11 @ And now complete the doing also, in order that, just as there was then the eagerness in desiring, there may now be the accomplishment in proportion to your means.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not urge you to give in order that others may have relief while you are unduly pressed,

wmth@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that, by equalization of burdens, your superfluity having in the present emergency supplied their deficiency, their superfluity may in turn be a supply for your deficiency later on, so that there may be equalization of burdens.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we send with him the brother whose praises for his earnestness in proclaiming the Good News are heard throughout all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we send with them our brother, of whose zeal we have had frequent proof in many matters, and who is now more zealous than ever through the strong confidence which he has in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I have thought it absolutely necessary therefore to request these brethren to visit you before I myself come, and to make sure beforehand that the gift of love which you have already promised may be ready as a gift of love, and may not seem to have been something which I have extorted from you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,

wmth@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we have not the `courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you –still keeping within our own sphere– promotion to a larger field of labour,

wmth@2Corinthians:10:16 @ and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:4 @ If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!

wmth@2Corinthians:11:8 @ Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden –for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants– and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:10 @ Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily–my anxiety for all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ –He who is blessed throughout the Ages– knows that I am speaking the truth.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man who fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows– was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) even to the highest Heaven.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man– whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations–therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:13 @ In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

wmth@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

wmth@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?

wmth@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we have no power against the truth, but only for the furtherance of the truth;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All God's people here send greetings to you.

wmth@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead–

wmth@Galatians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father.

wmth@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.

wmth@Galatians:1:7 @ For other »Good News« there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.

wmth@Galatians:1:9 @ What I have just said I repeat–if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

wmth@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.

wmth@Galatians:1:19 @ I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.

wmth@Galatians:2:4 @ Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.

wmth@Galatians:2:6 @ From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me–God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.

wmth@Galatians:2:13 @ And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.

wmth@Galatians:2:16 @ know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:2:18 @ Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;

wmth@Galatians:3:7 @ Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true sons of Abraham.

wmth@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise.

wmth@Galatians:3:20 @ But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned.

wmth@Galatians:4:2 @ but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until the time his father has appointed.

wmth@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.

wmth@Galatians:4:9 @ Now, however, having come to know God –or rather to be known by Him– how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

wmth@Galatians:4:25 @ This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage together with her children.

wmth@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and is mother.

wmth@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman–

wmth@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love.

wmth@Galatians:5:11 @ As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block!

wmth@Galatians:5:13 @ You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

wmth@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another.

wmth@Galatians:5:17 @ For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined.

wmth@Galatians:5:22 @ The Spirit, on the other hand, brings a harvest of love, joy, peace; patience towards others, kindness, benevolence;

wmth@Galatians:5:24 @ Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites.

wmth@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, envying one another.

wmth@Galatians:6:2 @ Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.

wmth@Galatians:6:3 @ For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.

wmth@Galatians:6:4 @ But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will find out, not with reference to another but with reference to himself, what he has to boast of.

wmth@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.

wmth@Ephesians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it–the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

wmth@Ephesians:1:14 @ that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption–the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.

wmth@Ephesians:1:17 @ For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –the Father most glorious– to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

wmth@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:1:21 @ high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come.

wmth@Ephesians:1:23 @ the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.

wmth@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.

wmth@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised–their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.

wmth@Ephesians:2:18 @ because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.

wmth@Ephesians:2:19 @ You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

wmth@Ephesians:2:21 @ in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

wmth@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.

wmth@Ephesians:3:3 @ and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.

wmth@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.

wmth@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,

wmth@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness of mind and unselfishness, and with patience, bearing with one another lovingly, and earnestly striving to maintain,

wmth@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

wmth@Ephesians:4:5 @ There is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

wmth@Ephesians:4:6 @ and one God and Father of all, who rules over all, acts through all, and dwells in all.

wmth@Ephesians:4:11 @ And He Himself appointed some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers,

wmth@Ephesians:4:16 @ Dependent on Him, the whole body –its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another– grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.

wmth@Ephesians:4:17 @ Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,

wmth@Ephesians:4:25 @ For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

wmth@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.

wmth@Ephesians:4:32 @ On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.

wmth@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.

wmth@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber –or in other words idol-worshipper– has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

wmth@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not become sharers with them.

wmth@Ephesians:5:8 @ There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.

wmth@Ephesians:5:15 @ Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.

wmth@Ephesians:5:19 @ but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.

wmth@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:5:21 @ and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:5:25 @ Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;

wmth@Ephesians:5:26 @ in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word,

wmth@Ephesians:5:27 @ that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.

wmth@Ephesians:5:29 @ For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;

wmth@Ephesians:5:32 @ That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.

wmth@Ephesians:5:33 @ Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.

wmth@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.

wmth@Ephesians:6:8 @ You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

wmth@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.

wmth@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field.

wmth@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness

wmth@Ephesians:6:19 @ and ask on my behalf that words may be given to me so that, outspoken and fearless, I may make known the truths (hitherto kept secret) of the Good News–

wmth@Ephesians:6:21 @ But in order that you also may know how I am doing, Tychicus our dearly-loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's service will tell you everything.

wmth@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace be to the brethren, and love combined with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.

wmth@Philippians:1:13 @ And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;

wmth@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.

wmth@Philippians:1:16 @ These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News;

wmth@Philippians:1:17 @ while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.

wmth@Philippians:1:18 @ What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached–either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

wmth@Philippians:1:20 @ in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.

wmth@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:2:1 @ If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

wmth@Philippians:2:4 @ each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, but on those of others also.

wmth@Philippians:2:7 @ Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men.

wmth@Philippians:2:9 @ It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other,

wmth@Philippians:2:11 @ and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

wmth@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling –not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you– labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

wmth@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you.

wmth@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know Timothy's approved worth–how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now–he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs.

wmth@Philippians:2:28 @ I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have the less sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore with heartfelt Christian joy, and hold in honour men like him;

wmth@Philippians:2:30 @ because it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring to make good any deficiency that there might be in your gifts to me.

wmth@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.

wmth@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.

wmth@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.

wmth@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.

wmth@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.

wmth@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

wmth@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute –if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise– cherish the thought of these things.

wmth@Philippians:4:15 @ And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;

wmth@Philippians:4:20 @ And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Philippians:4:22 @ All God's people here greet you–especially the members of Caesar's household.

wmth@Colossians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and Timothy our brother:

wmth@Colossians:1:2 @ To the people of God and the believing brethren at Colossae who are in Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father.

wmth@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, constantly praying for you as we do,

wmth@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you cherish towards all God's people,

wmth@Colossians:1:6 @ For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God,

wmth@Colossians:1:12 @ and give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the inheritance of God's people in Light.

wmth@Colossians:1:19 @ For it was the Father's gracious will that the whole of the divine perfections should dwell in Him.

wmth@Colossians:2:2 @ in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.

wmth@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him;

wmth@Colossians:2:8 @ Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath.

wmth@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle this;« »Do not taste that;«»Do not touch that other thing« –

wmth@Colossians:2:23 @ These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures.

wmth@Colossians:3:1 @ If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.

wmth@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

wmth@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,

wmth@Colossians:3:11 @ In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.

wmth@Colossians:3:12 @ Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.

wmth@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

wmth@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

wmth@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.

wmth@Colossians:3:24 @ For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

wmth@Colossians:3:25 @ The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.

wmth@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.

wmth@Colossians:4:9 @ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our preaching was not grounded on a delusion, nor prompted by mingled motives, nor was there fraud in it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory either from you or from any other mere men, although we might have stood on our dignity as Christ's Apostles.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as –what it really is– God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts of you who believe.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy our brother and God's minister in the service of Christ's Good News, that he might help you spiritually and encourage you in your faith;

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you–

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ But may our God and Father Himself –and our Lord Jesus– guide us on our way to you;

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that in this matter there be no encroaching on the rights of a brother Christian and no overreaching him. For the Lord is an avenger in all such cases, as we have already taught you and solemnly warned you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore a defiant spirit in such a case provokes not man but God, who puts His Holy Spirit into your hearts.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But on the subject of love for the brotherhood it is unnecessary for me to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ Now, concerning those who from time to time pass away, we would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, lest you should mourn as others do who have no hope.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ And so we shall be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While they are saying »Peace and safety!« then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died on our behalf, so that whether we are awake or are sleeping we may share His Life.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled –either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us– through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself –and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope–

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:»If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat.«

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.

wmth@1Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@1Timothy:1:4 @ and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.

wmth@1Timothy:1:7 @ They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.

wmth@1Timothy:1:9 @ and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane–for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,

wmth@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men–Christ Jesus, Himself man;

wmth@1Timothy:2:7 @ and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

wmth@1Timothy:2:8 @ So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;

wmth@1Timothy:2:11 @ A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.

wmth@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.

wmth@1Timothy:4:10 @ and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.

wmth@1Timothy:5:1 @ Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

wmth@1Timothy:5:2 @ the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.

wmth@1Timothy:5:5 @ A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;

wmth@1Timothy:5:10 @ She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.

wmth@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

wmth@1Timothy:5:16 @ If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened–so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.

wmth@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep pure.

wmth@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of others lag behind.

wmth@1Timothy:6:3 @ So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions –those of our Lord Jesus Christ– and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,

wmth@2Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience –as my forefathers did– that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,

wmth@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart–a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

wmth@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.

wmth@2Timothy:1:11 @ of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, to the Gentiles.

wmth@2Timothy:1:15 @ Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.

wmth@2Timothy:1:17 @ Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire where I was living, and at last he found me.

wmth@2Timothy:2:2 @ All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

wmth@2Timothy:2:14 @ Bring all this to men's remembrances, solemnly charging them in the presence of God not to waste time in wrangling about mere words, a course which is altogether unprofitable and tends only to the ruin of the hearers.

wmth@2Timothy:2:20 @ Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.

wmth@2Timothy:2:21 @ If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:2:24 @ and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.

wmth@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,

wmth@2Timothy:3:8 @ And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth–being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.

wmth@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

wmth@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were,

wmth@2Timothy:4:2 @ proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.

wmth@2Timothy:4:3 @ For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;

wmth@2Timothy:4:8 @ From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.

wmth@Titus:1:4 @ To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

wmth@Titus:1:6 @ wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will.

wmth@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents.

wmth@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many that spurn authority–idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.

wmth@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,

wmth@Titus:2:3 @ In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.

wmth@Titus:3:2 @ not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.

wmth@Titus:3:3 @ For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

wmth@Titus:3:10 @ After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;

wmth@Titus:3:12 @ After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

wmth@Titus:3:15 @ Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.

wmth@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer–

wmth@Philemon:1:3 @ May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:4 @ I give continual thanks to my God while making mention of you, my brother, in my prayers,

wmth@Philemon:1:6 @ praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.

wmth@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,

wmth@Philemon:1:9 @ it is for love's sake that –instead of that– although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,

wmth@Philemon:1:10 @ I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains–I mean Onesimus.

wmth@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but as something better than a slave–a brother peculiarly dear to me, and even dearer to you, both as a servant and as a fellow Christian.

wmth@Philemon:1:17 @ If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself.

wmth@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:23 @ Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;

wmth@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,

wmth@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.

wmth@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all angels spirits that serve Him–whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?

wmth@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying have all one Father; and for this reason He is not ashamed to speak of them as His brothers;

wmth@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.

wmth@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.

wmth@Hebrews:3:3 @ For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.

wmth@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,

wmth@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.

wmth@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'

wmth@Hebrews:3:12 @ see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you –as perhaps there may be– a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.

wmth@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.

wmth@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

wmth@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.

wmth@Hebrews:4:9 @ It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

wmth@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

wmth@Hebrews:5:6 @ as also in another passage He says,

wmth@Hebrews:5:12 @ For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.

wmth@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

wmth@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.

wmth@Hebrews:6:19 @ That hope we have as an anchor of the soul–an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,

wmth@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever.

wmth@Hebrews:7:3 @ with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God–this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.

wmth@Hebrews:7:8 @ Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.

wmth@Hebrews:7:10 @ for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood –for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject– what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?

wmth@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective–

wmth@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law brought no perfect blessing–but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.

wmth@Hebrews:7:27 @ who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

wmth@Hebrews:8:3 @ Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.

wmth@Hebrews:8:4 @ If then He were still on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since here there are already those who present the offerings in obedience to the Law,

wmth@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, there would have been no attempt to introduce another.

wmth@Hebrews:8:13 @ By using the words, »a new Covenant,« He has made the first one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of old age is not far from disappearing altogether.

wmth@Hebrews:9:5 @ And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now speak about all these in detail.

wmth@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.

wmth@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a legal `will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence–the death of him who made it.

wmth@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed we may almost say that in obedience to the Law everything is sprinkled with blood, and that apart from the outpouring of blood there is no remission of sins.

wmth@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices.

wmth@Hebrews:10:18 @ But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required.

wmth@Hebrews:10:24 @ And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct;

wmth@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting –as some habitually do– to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.

wmth@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.

wmth@Hebrews:10:27 @ There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies of the truth.

wmth@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

wmth@Hebrews:10:37 @ For there is still but a short time and then

wmth@Hebrews:11:6 @ But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.

wmth@Hebrews:11:8 @ Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.

wmth@Hebrews:11:9 @ Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise;

wmth@Hebrews:11:11 @ Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother –although she was past the time of life for this– because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise.

wmth@Hebrews:11:12 @ And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.

wmth@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth;

wmth@Hebrews:11:14 @ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.

wmth@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return;

wmth@Hebrews:11:25 @ having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;

wmth@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them–that they might secure a better resurrection.

wmth@Hebrews:11:36 @ Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.

wmth@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,

wmth@Hebrews:12:2 @ simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself – where He still sits– at the right hand of the throne of God.

wmth@Hebrews:12:3 @ Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.

wmth@Hebrews:12:7 @ The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

wmth@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?

wmth@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees,

wmth@Hebrews:12:14 @ but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord.

wmth@Hebrews:12:15 @ Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;

wmth@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him.

wmth@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

wmth@Hebrews:12:27 @ Here the words »Yet again, once for all« denote the removal of the things which can be shaken –created things– in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

wmth@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

wmth@Hebrews:13:1 @ Let brotherly love always continue.

wmth@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.

wmth@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.

wmth@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead –even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep–

wmth@Hebrews:13:23 @ You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.

wmth@James:1:9 @ Let a brother in humble life rejoice when raised to a higher position;

wmth@James:1:10 @ but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like flowers among the herbage rich men will pass away.

wmth@James:1:11 @ The sun rises with his scorching heat and dries up the herbage, so that its flowers drop off and the beauty of its appearance perishes, and in the same way rich men with all their prosperity will fade away.

wmth@James:1:17 @ Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change.

wmth@James:1:21 @ Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile and of the evil influences which prevail around you, welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.

wmth@James:1:27 @ The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self unspotted from the world.

wmth@James:2:1 @ My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.

wmth@James:2:2 @ For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,

wmth@James:2:3 @ and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, »Sit here; this is a good place;« while to the poor man you say, »Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;«

wmth@James:2:9 @ But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.

wmth@James:2:15 @ Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or lacks daily food,

wmth@James:2:20 @ But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.

wmth@James:2:25 @ In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way?

wmth@James:3:1 @ Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.

wmth@James:3:2 @ For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.

wmth@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness.

wmth@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth there proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be.

wmth@James:3:12 @ Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? No; and neither can salt water yield sweet.

wmth@James:4:4 @ You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.

wmth@James:4:7 @ Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

wmth@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.

wmth@James:4:13 @ Come, you who say, »To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business,«

wmth@James:5:4 @ I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops –pay which you are keeping back– is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.

wmth@James:5:5 @ Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.

wmth@James:5:7 @ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.

wmth@James:5:9 @ Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door.

wmth@James:5:12 @ But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your `yes' be simply `yes,' and your `no' be simply `no;' that you may not come under condemnation.

wmth@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

wmth@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.

wmth@1Peter:1:4 @ to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,

wmth@1Peter:1:10 @ There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it–even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.

wmth@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,

wmth@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,

wmth@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.

wmth@1Peter:2:1 @ Rid yourselves therefore of all ill-will and all deceitfulness, of insincerity and envy, and of all evil speaking.

wmth@1Peter:2:7 @ To you believers, therefore, that honour belongs; but for unbelievers–

wmth@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit, for the Lord's sake, to every authority set up by man, whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,

wmth@1Peter:2:17 @ Honour every one. Love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the Emperor.

wmth@1Peter:2:20 @ If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable thing with God.

wmth@1Peter:2:24 @ The burden of our sins He Himself carried in His own body to the Cross and bore it there, so that we, having died so far as our sins are concerned, may live righteous lives. By His wounds yours have been healed.

wmth@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like lost sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Protector of your souls.

wmth@1Peter:3:6 @ Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

wmth@1Peter:3:9 @ not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit.

wmth@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

wmth@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in– pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

wmth@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.

wmth@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.

wmth@1Peter:4:9 @ Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.

wmth@1Peter:4:10 @ Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.

wmth@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen.

wmth@1Peter:4:15 @ But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.

wmth@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

wmth@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;

wmth@1Peter:5:4 @ And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.

wmth@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

wmth@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.

wmth@1Peter:5:9 @ Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences.

wmth@1Peter:5:12 @ I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother –for such I regard him– in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

wmth@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:7 @ along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.

wmth@2Peter:1:8 @ If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:17 @ He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, »This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight.«

wmth@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.

wmth@2Peter:2:5 @ And He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly.

wmth@2Peter:2:9 @ Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,

wmth@2Peter:2:22 @ Their case is that described in the true proverb, and also in the other proverb, »The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth.«

wmth@2Peter:3:4 @ and, asking, »What has become of His promised Return? For from the time our forefathers fell asleep all things continue as they have been ever since the creation of the world.«

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:8 @ But there is one thing, dear friends, which you must not forget. With the Lord one day resembles a thousand years and a thousand years resemble one day.

wmth@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, dear friends, since you have these expectations, earnestly seek to be found in His presence, free from blemish or reproach, in peace.

wmth@2Peter:3:15 @ And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted to him.

wmth@2Peter:3:16 @ That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

wmth@2Peter:3:17 @ You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.

wmth@1John:1:2 @ the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us–

wmth@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

wmth@1John:1:5 @ This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you–God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.

wmth@1John:1:6 @ If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.

wmth@1John:1:7 @ But 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.

wmth@1John:2:1 @ Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ the righteous;

wmth@1John:2:9 @ Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.

wmth@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others.

wmth@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going–because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

wmth@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

wmth@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

wmth@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

wmth@1John:2:16 @ For the things in the world –the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life– they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

wmth@1John:2:18 @ Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

wmth@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.

wmth@1John:2:23 @ No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father.

wmth@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

wmth@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things –and is true and is no falsehood– you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

wmth@1John:3:1 @ See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.

wmth@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

wmth@1John:3:10 @ By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.

wmth@1John:3:11 @ For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning–that we are to love one another.

wmth@1John:3:12 @ We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's actions righteous.

wmth@1John:3:14 @ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

wmth@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

wmth@1John:3:16 @ We know what love is–through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.

wmth@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him–how can such a one continue to love God?

wmth@1John:3:23 @ And this is His command–that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.

wmth@1John:4:1 @ Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false teachers have gone out into the world.

wmth@1John:4:7 @ Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.

wmth@1John:4:11 @ Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

wmth@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, God continues in union with us, and His love in all its perfection is in our hearts.

wmth@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

wmth@1John:4:18 @ Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, there is something imperfect in his love.

wmth@1John:4:20 @ If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

wmth@1John:4:21 @ And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.

wmth@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.

wmth@1John:5:7 @ For there are three that give testimony– the Spirit, the water, and the blood;

wmth@1John:5:8 @ and there is complete agreement between these three.

wmth@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life–for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

wmth@1John:5:17 @ Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.

wmth@2John:1:1 @ The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,

wmth@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

wmth@2John:1:4 @ It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.

wmth@2John:1:5 @ And now, dear lady, I pray you –writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning– let us love one another.

wmth@2John:1:9 @ No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.

wmth@3John:1:8 @ It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth.

wmth@3John:1:10 @ For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from the Church.

wmth@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

wmth@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:1:19 @ Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:

wmth@Revelation:2:5 @ Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place–unless you repent.

wmth@Revelation:2:12 @ »To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows:« `This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.

wmth@Revelation:2:13 @ Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.

wmth@Revelation:2:20 @ Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.

wmth@Revelation:2:21 @ I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.

wmth@Revelation:2:22 @ I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.

wmth@Revelation:2:23 @ Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.

wmth@Revelation:2:24 @ But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the »deep things,« as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) –to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.

wmth@Revelation:2:27 @ And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;«

wmth@Revelation:3:3 @ Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.

wmth@Revelation:3:5 @ »`In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.«

wmth@Revelation:3:15 @ I know your doings–you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!

wmth@Revelation:3:16 @ Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.

wmth@Revelation:4:3 @ The appearance of Him who sat there was like jasper or sard; and encircling the throne was a rainbow, in appearance like an emerald.

wmth@Revelation:4:4 @ Surrounding the throne there were also twenty-four other thrones, on which sat twenty-four Elders clothed in white robes, with victors' wreaths of gold upon their heads.

wmth@Revelation:4:5 @ Out from the throne there came flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder, while in front of the throne seven blazing lamps were burning, which are the seven Spirits of God.

wmth@Revelation:4:6 @ And in front of the throne there seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.

wmth@Revelation:6:4 @ And another horse came out–a fiery-red one; and power was given to its rider to take peace from the earth, and to cause men to kill one another; and a great sword was given to him.

wmth@Revelation:6:6 @ And I heard what seemed to be a voice speaking in the midst of the four living creatures, and saying, »A quart of wheat for a shilling, and three quarts of barley for a shilling; but do not injure either the oil or the wine.«

wmth@Revelation:6:11 @ And there was given to each of them a long white robe, and they were bidden to wait patiently for a short time longer, until the full number of their fellow bondservants should also complete–namely of their brethren who were soon to be killed just as they had been.

wmth@Revelation:6:12 @ When the Lamb broke the sixth seal I looked, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as dark as sackcloth, and the whole disc of the moon became like blood.

wmth@Revelation:7:17 @ For the Lamb who is in front of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to watersprings of Life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.«

wmth@Revelation:8:7 @ The first blew his trumpet; and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, falling upon the earth; and a third part of the earth was burnt up, and a third part of the trees and all the green grass.

wmth@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel blew his trumpet; and there fell from Heaven a great star, which was on fire like a torch. It fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

wmth@Revelation:8:12 @ Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet; and a curse fell upon a third part of the sun, a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them were darkened and for a third of the day, and also of the night, there was no light.

wmth@Revelation:9:3 @ And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess.

wmth@Revelation:9:4 @ And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings–those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

wmth@Revelation:10:7 @ »There shall be no further delay; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet –when he begins to do so– then the secret purposes of God are realized, in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets.«

wmth@Revelation:10:11 @ And a voice said to me, »You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings.«

wmth@Revelation:11:8 @ And their dead bodies are to lie in the broad street of the great city which spiritually is designated `Sodom' and `Egypt,' where indeed their Lord was crucified.

wmth@Revelation:11:10 @ The inhabitants of the earth rejoice over them and are glad and will send gifts to one another; for these two Prophets had greatly troubled the inhabitants of the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:11:13 @ And just as that time there was a great earthquake, and a tenth part of the city was overthrown. 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe is past; the third Woe will soon be here.

wmth@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel blew his trumpet; and there followed loud voices in Heaven which said, »The sovereignty of the world now belongs to our Lord and His Christ; and He will be King until the Ages of the Ages.«

wmth@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the doors of God's sanctuary in Heaven were opened, and the Ark, in which His Covenant was, was seen in His sanctuary; and there came flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and heavy hail.

wmth@Revelation:12:1 @ And a great marvel was seen in Heaven– a woman who was robed with the sun and had the moon under her feet, and had also a wreath of stars round her head, was with child,

wmth@Revelation:12:3 @ And another marvel was seen in Heaven–a great fiery-red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns; and on his heads were seven kingly crowns.

wmth@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail was drawing after it a third part of the stars of Heaven, and it dashed them to the ground. And in front of the woman who was about to become a mother, the Dragon was standing in order to devour the child as soon as it was born.

wmth@Revelation:12:5 @ She gave birth to a son–a male child, destined before long to rule all nations with an iron scepter. But her child was caught up to God and His throne,

wmth@Revelation:12:6 @ and the woman fled into the Desert, there to be cared for, for 1,260 days, in a place which God had prepared for her.

wmth@Revelation:12:8 @ The Dragon fought and so did his angels; but they were defeated, and there was no longer any room found for them in Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:12:14 @ Then, the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman to enable her to fly away into the Desert to the place assigned her, there to be cared for, for a period of time, two periods of time, and half a period of time, beyond the reach of the serpent.

wmth@Revelation:12:17 @ This made the Dragon furiously angry with the woman, and he went elsewhere to make war upon her other children–those who keep God's commandments and hold fast to the testimony of Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:13:4 @ And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, »Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?«

wmth@Revelation:13:5 @ And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-two months.

wmth@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.

wmth@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

wmth@Revelation:13:17 @ in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark–either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.

wmth@Revelation:13:18 @ Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.

wmth@Revelation:14:1 @ Then I looked, and I saw the Lamb standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 people, having His name and His Father's name written on their foreheads.

wmth@Revelation:14:4 @ These are those who had not defiled themselves with women: they are as pure as virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:14:6 @ And I saw another angel flying across the sky, carrying the Good News of the Ages to tell to every nation, tribe, language and people, among those who live on the earth.

wmth@Revelation:14:8 @ And another, a second angel, followed, exclaiming, »Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen–she who made all the nations drink the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication.«

wmth@Revelation:14:9 @ And another, a third angel, followed them, exclaiming in a loud voice, »If any one worships the Wild Beast and his statue, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

wmth@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus!«

wmth@Revelation:14:15 @ And another, an angel, came out of the sanctuary, calling in a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, and saying, »Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the hour for reaping it has come: the harvest of the earth is over-ripe.«

wmth@Revelation:14:17 @ And another angel came out from the sanctuary in Heaven, and he too carried a sharp sickle.

wmth@Revelation:14:18 @ And another angel came out from the altar –he who had power over fire– and he spoke in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, »Use your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are now quite ripe.«

wmth@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another marvel in Heaven, great and wonderful–there were seven angels bringing seven plagues. These are the last plagues, because in them God's anger has found full expression.

wmth@Revelation:15:6 @ and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels who were bringing the seven plagues. The angels were clad in pure, bright linen, and had girdles of gold across their breasts.

wmth@Revelation:16:18 @ Flashes of lightning followed, and voices, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake more dreadful than there had ever been since there was a man upon the earth–so terrible was it, and so great!

wmth@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts; the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, for Him to make her drink from the wine-cup of His fierce anger.

wmth@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled away, and there was not a mountain anywhere to be seen.

wmth@Revelation:17:2 @ The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.«

wmth@Revelation:17:3 @ So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads and ten horns.

wmth@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls. She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations, and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.

wmth@Revelation:17:5 @ And on her forehead was a name written:»I am a symbol of great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:17:6 @ And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.

wmth@Revelation:17:7 @ Then the angel said to me, »Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.

wmth@Revelation:17:8 @ »The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement –all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world– when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come.«

wmth@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.

wmth@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you have seen –and the Wild Beast– these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

wmth@Revelation:18:1 @ After these things I saw another angel coming down from Heaven, armed with great power. The earth shone with his splendor,

wmth@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through her excessive luxury.«

wmth@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from Heaven, which said, »Come out of her, My people, that you may not become partakers in her sins, nor receive a share of her plagues.

wmth@Revelation:18:5 @ For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.

wmth@Revelation:18:6 @ Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.

wmth@Revelation:18:7 @ She has freely glorified herself and revelled in luxury; equally freely administer torment to her, and woe. For in her heart she boasts, saying, `I sit enthroned as Queen: no widow am I: I shall never know sorrow.'

wmth@Revelation:18:8 @ »For this reason calamities shall come thick upon her on a single day –death and sorrow and famine– and she shall be burned to the ground. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.«

wmth@Revelation:18:9 @ The kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her, and have revelled in luxury, shall weep aloud and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,

wmth@Revelation:18:10 @ while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, `Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has come!'

wmth@Revelation:18:11 @ And the merchants of the earth weep aloud and lament over her, because now there is no sale for their cargoes–

wmth@Revelation:18:15 @ Those who traded in these things, who grew wealthy through her, will stand afar off, struck with terror at her punishment,

wmth@Revelation:18:18 @ stood afar off, and cried aloud when they saw the smoke of her burning. And they said, `What city is like this great city?'

wmth@Revelation:18:19 @ And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping aloud and sorrowing. `Alas, alas,' they said, `for this great city, in which, through her vast wealth, the owners of all the ships on the sea have grown rich; because in one short hour she has been laid waste!'

wmth@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you.«

wmth@Revelation:18:24 @ And in her was found the blood of Prophets and of God's people and of all who had been put to death on the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:19:2 @ True and just are His judgments, because He has judged the great Harlot who was corrupting the whole earth with her fornication, and He has taken vengeance for the blood of His bondservants which her hands have shed.«

wmth@Revelation:19:3 @ And a second time they said, »Hallelujah! For her smoke ascends until the Ages of the Ages.«

wmth@Revelation:19:5 @ And from the throne there came a voice which said, »Praise our God, all you His bondservants–you who fear Him, both the small and the great.«

wmth@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and triumph and give Him the glory; for the time for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His Bride has made herself ready.«

wmth@Revelation:19:8 @ And she was permitted to array herself in fine linen, shining and spotless; the fine linen being the righteous actions of God's people.

wmth@Revelation:19:15 @ From His mouth there comes a sharp sword with which He will smite the nations; and He will Himself be their Shepherd, ruling them with a scepter of iron; and it is His work to tread the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Ruler of all.

wmth@Revelation:19:18 @ that you may feast on the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, on the flesh of horses and their riders, and on the flesh of all mankind, whether they are free men or slaves, great men or small.«

wmth@Revelation:20:10 @ and the Devil, who had been leading them astray, was thrown into the Lake of fire and sulphur where the Wild Beast and the false Prophet were, and day and night they will suffer torture until the Ages of the Ages.

wmth@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing in front of the throne. And books were opened; and so was another book–namely, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged by the things recorded in the books in accordance with what their conduct had been.

wmth@Revelation:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.

wmth@Revelation:21:7 @ All this shall be the heritage of him who overcomes, and I will be his God and he shall be one of My sons.

wmth@Revelation:21:9 @ Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. »Come with me,« he said, »and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife.«

wmth@Revelation:21:13 @ There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.

wmth@Revelation:21:25 @ And in the daytime (for there will be no night there) the gates will never be closed;

wmth@Revelation:22:2 @ On either side of the river, midway between it and the main street of the city, was the Tree of Life. It produced twelve kinds of fruit, yielding a fresh crop month by month, and the leaves of the tree served as medicine for the nations.

wmth@Revelation:22:3 @ »In future there will be no curse,« he said, »but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in that city. And His servants will render Him holy service and will see His face,

wmth@Revelation:22:5 @ And there will be no night there; and they have no need of lamplight or sunlight, for the Lord God will shine upon them, and they will be kings until the Ages of the Ages.«
