tcent@Matthew:1:11 @ and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

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

tcent@Matthew:1:19 @ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to put her to public shame, was resolved to divorce her quietly.

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

tcent@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not know her until she had borne a son. And he called his name Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

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

tcent@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod called the wise men secretly and determined from them what time the star had appeared.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all its region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

tcent@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

tcent@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.

tcent@Matthew:3:14 @ But John tried to prevent him, saying, »I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?«

tcent@Matthew:3:16 @ And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him.

tcent@Matthew:4:3 @ And the tempter came and said to him, »If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.«

tcent@Matthew:4:9 @ And he said to him, »All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.«

tcent@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:4:19 @ And he said to them, »Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.«

tcent@Matthew:4:20 @ Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

tcent@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them,

tcent@Matthew:4:22 @ and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

tcent@Matthew:4:24 @ Then his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

tcent@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the crowds, he went up on a mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:5:17 @ »Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

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

tcent@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever then breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

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

tcent@Matthew:5:21 @ »You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’

tcent@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that anyone who is angry with his brother shall be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be answerable to the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fire of hell.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to become an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

tcent@Matthew:5:37 @ Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

tcent@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. But if someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

tcent@Matthew:5:40 @ And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

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

tcent@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a plank in your own eye?

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

tcent@Matthew:7:15 @ »Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

tcent@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

tcent@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:7:22 @ On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

tcent@Matthew:7:23 @ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers!’

tcent@Matthew:7:25 @ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

tcent@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell. And great was its fall.«

tcent@Matthew:8:1 @ When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

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

tcent@Matthew:8:3 @ Then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying, »I am willing; be clean.« Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

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

tcent@Matthew:8:6 @ and saying, »Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.«

tcent@Matthew:8:7 @ And Jesus said to him, »I will come and heal him.«

tcent@Matthew:8:8 @ But the centurion answered him, »Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

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

tcent@Matthew:8:11 @ I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:8:14 @ When Jesus come into Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

tcent@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

tcent@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came and said to him, »Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.«

tcent@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to him, »Lord, let me first go and bury my father.«

tcent@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him, »Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.«

tcent@Matthew:8:27 @ And the men marveled, saying, »What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?«

tcent@Matthew:8:28 @ When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

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

tcent@Matthew:8:30 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

tcent@Matthew:8:32 @ And he said to them, »Go.« So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the water.

tcent@Matthew:8:33 @ Then those who kept them fled, and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

tcent@Matthew:8:34 @ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

tcent@Matthew:9:1 @ And getting into a boat, he crossed over and came to his own city.

tcent@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, »This man is blaspheming!«

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

tcent@Matthew:9:7 @ And he rose and went home.

tcent@Matthew:9:8 @ When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

tcent@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, »Follow me.« And he rose and followed him.

tcent@Matthew:9:10 @ And as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

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

tcent@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?«

tcent@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, »Can the guests of the bridegroom mourn as long as he is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, »Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.« And the woman was made well from that moment.

tcent@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd,

tcent@Matthew:9:27 @ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, »Have mercy on us, Son of David.«

tcent@Matthew:9:28 @ When he had entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, »Do you believe that I am able to do this?« They said to him, »Yes, Lord.«

tcent@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

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

tcent@Matthew:10:13 @ And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

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

tcent@Matthew:10:37 @ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

tcent@Matthew:10:38 @ and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

tcent@Matthew:10:40 @ »He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

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

tcent@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

tcent@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of me.«

tcent@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

tcent@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

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

tcent@Matthew:11:14 @ And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

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

tcent@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her deeds.«

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

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

tcent@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus declared, »I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to babes.

tcent@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

tcent@Matthew:11:28 @ Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

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

tcent@Matthew:12:1 @ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

tcent@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

tcent@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

tcent@Matthew:12:30 @ He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, »Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.«

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

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

tcent@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

tcent@Matthew:12:47 @ Someone told him, »Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.«

tcent@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

tcent@Matthew:13:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

tcent@Matthew:13:5 @ Some fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of soil.

tcent@Matthew:13:8 @ But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

tcent@Matthew:13:10 @ The disciples came and said to him, »Why do you speak to them in parables?«

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

tcent@Matthew:13:19 @ when anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

tcent@Matthew:13:20 @ But he who received the seed on rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

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

tcent@Matthew:13:22 @ Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

tcent@Matthew:13:23 @ But the one who received seed on the good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.«

tcent@Matthew:13:25 @ but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

tcent@Matthew:13:27 @ And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’

tcent@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers. Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’«

tcent@Matthew:13:32 @ it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.«

tcent@Matthew:13:33 @ He told them another parable: »The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened.«

tcent@Matthew:13:36 @ Then he left the crowd and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, »Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.«

tcent@Matthew:13:45 @ »Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,

tcent@Matthew:13:49 @ So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

tcent@Matthew:13:55 @ Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

tcent@Matthew:14:1 @ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,

tcent@Matthew:14:8 @ Prompted by her mother, she said, »Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.«

tcent@Matthew:14:12 @ Then his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, »This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.«

tcent@Matthew:14:16 @ Jesus said, »They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.«

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

tcent@Matthew:14:21 @ Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

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

tcent@Matthew:14:23 @ And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

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

tcent@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Matthew:14:28 @ And Peter answered him, »Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.«

tcent@Matthew:14:29 @ So he said, »Come«. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, »Lord, save me!«

tcent@Matthew:14:31 @ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, and said to him, »O you of little faith, why did you doubt?«

tcent@Matthew:14:34 @ When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

tcent@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent to all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick,

tcent@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

tcent@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,

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

tcent@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might have received from me is a gift to God’

tcent@Matthew:15:11 @ not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.«

tcent@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came and said to him, »Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?«

tcent@Matthew:15:18 @ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

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

tcent@Matthew:15:22 @ And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried to him, »Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.«

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

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

tcent@Matthew:15:30 @ Then great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the mute, and many others; and they laid them down at his feet, and he healed them.

tcent@Matthew:15:31 @ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

tcent@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.«

tcent@Matthew:15:38 @ Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

tcent@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

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

tcent@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

tcent@Matthew:27:57 @ And when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, »Sir, we remember how that deceiver said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

tcent@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore order that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.«

tcent@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

tcent@Matthew:28:4 @ And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

tcent@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, »Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

tcent@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

tcent@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold, Jesus met them and said, »Hail!« And they came to him and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

tcent@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, »Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee; and there they will see me.«

tcent@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.

tcent@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, »Tell them, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

tcent@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.«

tcent@Matthew:28:17 @ When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

tcent@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and said to them, »All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

tcent@Matthew:28:19 @ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Mark:1:4 @ John came baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

tcent@Mark:1:7 @ And he preached, saying, »After me comes One who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

tcent@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

tcent@Mark:1:10 @ And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove.

tcent@Mark:1:11 @ And a voice came from heaven, »You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@Mark:1:12 @ The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

tcent@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

tcent@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, »The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.«

tcent@Mark:1:16 @ And as he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the Sea; for they were fishermen.

tcent@Mark:1:17 @ And Jesus said to them, »Come follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.«

tcent@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

tcent@Mark:1:19 @ When he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

tcent@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

tcent@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

tcent@Mark:1:24 @ saying, »Let us alone! What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!«

tcent@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, »Be quiet, and come out of him!«

tcent@Mark:1:26 @ And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

tcent@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

tcent@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew.

tcent@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

tcent@Mark:1:31 @ So he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

tcent@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, »Let us go on to the next towns, so I may preach there also; for that is why I have come.«

tcent@Mark:1:40 @ Then a leper came to him, imploring him, kneeling down to him and saying to him, »If you are willing, you can make me clean.«

tcent@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

tcent@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was outside in the deserted places; and people came to him from every quarter.

tcent@Mark:2:1 @ And when he entered Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was home.

tcent@Mark:2:3 @ Then they came to him, bringing a paralytic carried by four men.

tcent@Mark:2:6 @ Now some of the scribes were sitting there, reasoning in their hearts,

tcent@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, »Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

tcent@Mark:2:11 @ »I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home.«

tcent@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out in the sight of them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, »We never saw anything like this!«

tcent@Mark:2:13 @ Then he went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

tcent@Mark:2:14 @ As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, »Follow me.« So he rose and followed him.

tcent@Mark:2:17 @ And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, »Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.«

tcent@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, »Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?«

tcent@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

tcent@Mark:2:21 @ »No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

tcent@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?«

tcent@Mark:3:3 @ And he said to the man who had the withered hand, »Come here.«

tcent@Mark:3:6 @ Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

tcent@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things he was doing, came to him.

tcent@Mark:3:13 @ And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those he himself wanted. And they came to him.

tcent@Mark:3:16 @ Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;

tcent@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, »Sons of Thunder«;

tcent@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;

tcent@Mark:3:20 @ Then he went home; and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.

tcent@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, »He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.«

tcent@Mark:3:28 @ Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

tcent@Mark:3:29 @ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin«—

tcent@Mark:3:31 @ Then his brothers and his mother came. And standing outside they sent to him, and called him.

tcent@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

tcent@Mark:4:5 @ Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

tcent@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun came up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

tcent@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in them.

tcent@Mark:4:16 @ And these likewise are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

tcent@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for only a time. Then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

tcent@Mark:4:19 @ but the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

tcent@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden, except to be revealed; nor is anything secret, but that it should come to light.

tcent@Mark:4:24 @ Then he said to them, »Take heed what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you; and more will be given you.

tcent@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.«

tcent@Mark:4:32 @ yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.«

tcent@Mark:4:35 @ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, »Let us go over to the other side.«

tcent@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.

tcent@Mark:5:2 @ And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

tcent@Mark:5:7 @ And crying out with a loud voice, he said, »What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me.«

tcent@Mark:5:8 @ For he had said to him, »Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!«

tcent@Mark:5:9 @ Then Jesus asked him, »What is your name?« And he replied, »My name is Legion, for we are many.«

tcent@Mark:5:13 @ So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.

tcent@Mark:5:15 @ And they came to Jesus, and saw the man who had been possessed sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

tcent@Mark:5:19 @ Jesus did not let him, but said, »Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.«

tcent@Mark:5:20 @ And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

tcent@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. And seeing him, he fell at his feet,

tcent@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, »My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and live.«

tcent@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

tcent@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

tcent@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and said, »Who touched my clothes?«

tcent@Mark:5:31 @ And his disciples said to him, »You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’«

tcent@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him in fear and trembling and told him the whole truth.

tcent@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, »Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?«

tcent@Mark:5:37 @ And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

tcent@Mark:5:38 @ When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.

tcent@Mark:5:39 @ And when he came in, he said to them, »Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.«

tcent@Mark:5:41 @ He took her by the hand and said to her, »Talitha cumi!« which means, »Little girl, I say to you, arise.«

tcent@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the girl stood up and walked (she was twelve years of age). And they were overcome with great amazement.

tcent@Mark:5:43 @ He strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:1 @ He went away from there and came to his own country, and his disciples followed him.

tcent@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, »Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that such mighty works are performed by his hands!

tcent@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?« And they took offense at him.

tcent@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, »John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him.«

tcent@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his high officers and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

tcent@Mark:6:22 @ And when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, »Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.«

tcent@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, »Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.«

tcent@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, »I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.«

tcent@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent an executioner and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

tcent@Mark:6:29 @ When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

tcent@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, »Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.« For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:35 @ When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, »This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

tcent@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, so they can go to the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves something to eat.«

tcent@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, »You give them something to eat.« And they said to him, »Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?«

tcent@Mark:6:44 @ Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

tcent@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

tcent@Mark:6:47 @ When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.

tcent@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw the disciples straining at the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He was about to pass by them,

tcent@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.

tcent@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

tcent@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever he entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were made well.

tcent@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered together to him,

tcent@Mark:7:2 @ they saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

tcent@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. And there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels. )

tcent@Mark:7:8 @ You let go of the commandment of God, and hold on to the tradition of men.«

tcent@Mark:7:9 @ And he said to them, »You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!

tcent@Mark:7:11 @ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

tcent@Mark:7:14 @ And he called all the people to him again, and said to them, »Hear me, everyone, and understand:

tcent@Mark:7:15 @ there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.«

tcent@Mark:7:20 @ And he said, »What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.

tcent@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of the heart of men, come evil thoughts, fornications, theft, murder, adultery,

tcent@Mark:7:23 @ All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.«

tcent@Mark:7:25 @ But a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

tcent@Mark:7:30 @ She went home, and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

tcent@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged him to put his hand on him.

tcent@Mark:7:35 @ And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

tcent@Mark:7:36 @ And he commanded them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

tcent@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, »He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.«

tcent@Mark:8:2 @ »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

tcent@Mark:8:3 @ And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long distance.«

tcent@Mark:8:4 @ And his disciples answered him, »How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?«

tcent@Mark:8:9 @ About four thousand men were present. And having sent them away,

tcent@Mark:8:10 @ he immediately got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

tcent@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

tcent@Mark:8:18 @ Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

tcent@Mark:8:22 @ And they came to Bethsaida; and some people brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

tcent@Mark:8:24 @ And he looked up and said, »I see men; but they look like trees, walking.«

tcent@Mark:8:26 @ And he sent him away to his home, saying, »Do not even go into the village.«

tcent@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, »Who do men say that I am?«

tcent@Mark:8:28 @ They replied, »Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.«

tcent@Mark:8:33 @ But when he had turned around and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, »Get behind me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.«

tcent@Mark:8:34 @ And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, »If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

tcent@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.«

tcent@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, »Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.«

tcent@Mark:9:2 @ After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,

tcent@Mark:9:3 @ and his clothes became dazzling, exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth could bleach them.

tcent@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, »This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!«

tcent@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

tcent@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, »Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«

tcent@Mark:9:12 @ Then he said to them, »Elijah does come first and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

tcent@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.«

tcent@Mark:9:14 @ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

tcent@Mark:9:15 @ Immediately, when they saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and ran to him and greeted him.

tcent@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they could not.«

tcent@Mark:9:19 @ He answered him, »O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.«

tcent@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

tcent@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, »I believe; help my unbelief!«

tcent@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, »You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again.«

tcent@Mark:9:26 @ And the spirit cried out, convulsed him terribly, and came out. And the boy was like a corpse; so that many of them said, »He is dead.«

tcent@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Mark:9:29 @ And he said to them, »This kind can only come out by prayer.«

tcent@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and said to them, »The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and when he is killed, after three days he will rise.«

tcent@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, »What were you discussing on the road?«

tcent@Mark:9:37 @ »Whoever receives one of these little children in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.«

tcent@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, »Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name and we forbade him, because he was not one of us.«

tcent@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came and in order to test him asked, »Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?«

tcent@Mark:10:5 @ But Jesus said to them, »Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

tcent@Mark:11:5 @ And some of those who stood there said to them, »What are you doing, untying the colt?«

tcent@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and he sat on it.

tcent@Mark:11:8 @ And many spread their garments on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

tcent@Mark:11:12 @ On the next day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.

tcent@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

tcent@Mark:11:15 @ So they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

tcent@Mark:11:16 @ And he would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

tcent@Mark:11:19 @ When evening came, they went out of the city.

tcent@Mark:11:21 @ Peter remembered and said to him, »Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered.«

tcent@Mark:11:23 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

tcent@Mark:11:27 @ Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.

tcent@Mark:11:29 @ Jesus said to them, »I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

tcent@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.«

tcent@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, ‘From men’«—they feared the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

tcent@Mark:12:2 @ At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

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

tcent@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

tcent@Mark:12:7 @ But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

tcent@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.

tcent@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

tcent@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, »Teacher, we know that you are true, and care about no man; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

tcent@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay them, or should we not?« But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, »Why do you put me to the test? Bring me a denarius, and let me look at it.«

tcent@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him; and they asked him a question, saying:

tcent@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, »Which commandment is the first of all?«

tcent@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.«

tcent@Mark:12:42 @ And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny.

tcent@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, »Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!«

tcent@Mark:13:3 @ Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

tcent@Mark:13:6 @ Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many.

tcent@Mark:13:7 @ When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

tcent@Mark:13:13 @ And you will be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

tcent@Mark:13:28 @ »Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

tcent@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

tcent@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—

tcent@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly. And she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

tcent@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, »Why was this ointment wasted?

tcent@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, »Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

tcent@Mark:14:7 @ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

tcent@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

tcent@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.«

tcent@Mark:14:13 @ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, »Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him.

tcent@Mark:14:17 @ And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

tcent@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, »Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.«

tcent@Mark:14:20 @ He said to them, »It is one of the twelve, one who dips bread into the dish with me.

tcent@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, »Truly, I say to you that this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.«

tcent@Mark:14:31 @ But he spoke more vehemently, »If I have to die with you, I will not deny you!« And they all said the same.

tcent@Mark:14:33 @ And he took Peter, James and John with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled.

tcent@Mark:14:36 @ And he said, »Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; yet not what I will, but what you will.«

tcent@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, »Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

tcent@Mark:14:39 @ And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

tcent@Mark:14:40 @ And when he came again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

tcent@Mark:14:41 @ Then he came the third time and said to them, »Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

tcent@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

tcent@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, »Rabbi!« and he kissed him.

tcent@Mark:14:48 @ And Jesus said to them, »Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

tcent@Mark:14:49 @ Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But the scriptures must be fulfilled.«

tcent@Mark:14:54 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.

tcent@Mark:14:57 @ Then some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

tcent@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, »Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?«

tcent@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to beat him, and to say to him, »Prophesy!« And the guards received him with slaps in the face.

tcent@Mark:14:66 @ Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

tcent@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, »I neither know nor understand what you mean.« And he went out into the gateway.

tcent@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had said to him, »Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.« And he broke down and wept.

tcent@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested.

tcent@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he had always done for them.

tcent@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, »Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull).

tcent@Mark:15:33 @ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

tcent@Mark:15:34 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, »Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?«—which means, »My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?«

tcent@Mark:15:35 @ When some of those standing near heard this, they said, »Behold, he is calling Elijah.«

tcent@Mark:15:36 @ And one ran and filled a sponge full of wine vinegar, put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink, saying, »Wait, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.«

tcent@Mark:15:40 @ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,

tcent@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed him and ministered to him when he was in Galilee; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

tcent@Mark:15:42 @ Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

tcent@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

tcent@Mark:16:1 @ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

tcent@Mark:16:2 @ And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

tcent@Mark:16:5 @ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were alarmed.

tcent@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, »Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

tcent@Mark:16:8 @ So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

tcent@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

tcent@Mark:16:20 @ Then they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the signs that accompanied it. Amen.

tcent@Luke:1:3 @ it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,

tcent@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

tcent@Luke:1:6 @ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

tcent@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, »Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

tcent@Luke:1:20 @ And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.«

tcent@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he made signs to them and remained speechless.

tcent@Luke:1:23 @ And when his time of service was completed, he went to his home.

tcent@Luke:1:25 @ »Thus the Lord has done to me, in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.«

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

tcent@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

tcent@Luke:1:31 @ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

tcent@Luke:1:38 @ Then Mary said, »Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.« And the angel departed from her.

tcent@Luke:1:42 @ And she exclaimed with a loud voice, »Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

tcent@Luke:1:43 @ But why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

tcent@Luke:1:44 @ For behold, as soon as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

tcent@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.«

tcent@Luke:1:56 @ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.

tcent@Luke:1:57 @ Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.

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

tcent@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father,

tcent@Luke:1:64 @ And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

tcent@Luke:1:65 @ And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea;

tcent@Luke:1:80 @ And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

tcent@Luke:2:6 @ And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.

tcent@Luke:2:21 @ And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

tcent@Luke:2:22 @ And when the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was completed, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

tcent@Luke:2:25 @ Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

tcent@Luke:2:27 @ So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

tcent@Luke:2:34 @ Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, »Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be spoken against

tcent@Luke:2:40 @ And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

tcent@Luke:2:49 @ And he said to them, »Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?«

tcent@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them, but his mother kept all these things in her heart.

tcent@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

tcent@Luke:3:2 @ during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

tcent@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfume,

tcent@Luke:7:38 @ and as she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.

tcent@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answered him, »Simon, I have something to say to you.« And he said, »Teacher, say it.«

tcent@Luke:7:44 @ Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, »Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

tcent@Luke:7:45 @ You gave me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet from the time I came in.

tcent@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.

tcent@Luke:8:2 @ and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out,

tcent@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their means.

tcent@Luke:8:4 @ And when a great crowd came together and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable:

tcent@Luke:8:5 @ »A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

tcent@Luke:8:6 @ Some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

tcent@Luke:8:7 @ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

tcent@Luke:8:9 @ When his disciples asked him what this parable meant,

tcent@Luke:8:12 @ The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.

tcent@Luke:8:13 @ And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

tcent@Luke:8:17 @ For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

tcent@Luke:8:19 @ Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd.

tcent@Luke:8:23 @ As they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger.

tcent@Luke:8:27 @ When he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but in the tombs.

tcent@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, »What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!«

tcent@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

tcent@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, »What is your name?« And he said, »Legion«; because many demons had entered him.

tcent@Luke:8:33 @ Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

tcent@Luke:8:35 @ Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

tcent@Luke:8:39 @ »Return to your home, and tell how much God has done for you.« And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

tcent@Luke:8:40 @ Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

tcent@Luke:8:41 @ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,

tcent@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood stopped.

tcent@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, »Who touched me?« When all denied it, Peter said, »Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!«

tcent@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said, »Someone touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me.«

tcent@Luke:8:47 @ When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

tcent@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, »Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.«

tcent@Luke:8:51 @ When he came into the house he permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

tcent@Luke:8:55 @ Then her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat.

tcent@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

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

tcent@Luke:9:11 @ But when the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

tcent@Luke:9:12 @ Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, »Send the crowd away, to go to the surrounding villages and country, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place.«

tcent@Luke:9:13 @ But he said to them, »You give them something to eat.« And they said, »We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.«

tcent@Luke:9:14 @ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, »Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.«

tcent@Luke:9:23 @ Then he said to them all, »If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

tcent@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

tcent@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.«

tcent@Luke:9:28 @ Now about eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

tcent@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his robe became white and glistening.

tcent@Luke:9:30 @ And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah,

tcent@Luke:9:32 @ But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.

tcent@Luke:9:33 @ As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, »Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah«—not knowing what he said.

tcent@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

tcent@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, »This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!«

tcent@Luke:9:37 @ On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

tcent@Luke:9:44 @ »Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.«

tcent@Luke:9:46 @ And an argument arose among them as to which of them would be the greatest.

tcent@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, »Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.«

tcent@Luke:9:49 @ Now John answered, »Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.«

tcent@Luke:9:51 @ When the time drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

tcent@Luke:9:52 @ And he sent messengers on ahead, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

tcent@Luke:9:54 @ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, »Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?«

tcent@Luke:9:59 @ To another he said, »Follow me.« But he said, »Lord, let me first go and bury my father.«

tcent@Luke:9:61 @ Still another said, »I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say farewell to those at my home.«

tcent@Luke:10:7 @ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they give, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house.

tcent@Luke:10:9 @ Heal the sick there and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

tcent@Luke:10:11 @ ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’

tcent@Luke:10:14 @ But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

tcent@Luke:10:16 @ »He who hears you hears me, he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.«

tcent@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy returned with joy, saying, »Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.«

tcent@Luke:10:20 @ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.«

tcent@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.«

tcent@Luke:10:32 @ So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

tcent@Luke:10:33 @ But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.

tcent@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’

tcent@Luke:10:37 @ He said, »The one who showed mercy on him.« And Jesus said to him, »Go and do likewise.«

tcent@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

tcent@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, »Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.«

tcent@Luke:11:5 @ And he said to them, »Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;

tcent@Luke:11:6 @ for a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

tcent@Luke:11:7 @ and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’?

tcent@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, »He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons.«

tcent@Luke:11:20 @ But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

tcent@Luke:11:21 @ When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

tcent@Luke:11:23 @ He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.

tcent@Luke:11:24 @ »When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

tcent@Luke:11:25 @ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.

tcent@Luke:11:30 @ For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

tcent@Luke:11:31 @ The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

tcent@Luke:11:32 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

tcent@Luke:11:33 @ »No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.

tcent@Luke:11:44 @ Woe to you! For you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it.«

tcent@Luke:11:46 @ And he said, »Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

tcent@Luke:11:49 @ Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’

tcent@Luke:11:54 @ lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.

tcent@Luke:12:1 @ In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, »Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

tcent@Luke:12:3 @ Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

tcent@Luke:13:1 @ There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

tcent@Luke:13:6 @ He told this parable: »A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

tcent@Luke:13:7 @ So he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?’

tcent@Luke:13:13 @ And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and praised God.

tcent@Luke:13:14 @ But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, »There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.«

tcent@Luke:13:17 @ When he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

tcent@Luke:13:19 @ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.«

tcent@Luke:13:21 @ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened.«

tcent@Luke:13:25 @ When once the owner of the house has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open for us.’ He will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’

tcent@Luke:18:20 @ You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’«

tcent@Luke:18:22 @ When Jesus heard it, he said to him, »One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.«

tcent@Luke:18:23 @ But when he heard this, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

tcent@Luke:18:25 @ For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.«

tcent@Luke:18:27 @ But he said, »What is impossible with men is possible with God.«

tcent@Luke:18:30 @ who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.«

tcent@Luke:18:36 @ And hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

tcent@Luke:18:38 @ And he cried out, »Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!«

tcent@Luke:18:39 @ And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, »Son of David, have mercy on me!«

tcent@Luke:18:40 @ So Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,

tcent@Luke:18:41 @ »What do you want me to do for you?« He said, »Lord, I want to receive my sight.«

tcent@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

tcent@Luke:19:2 @ Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

tcent@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, »Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.«

tcent@Luke:19:6 @ So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.

tcent@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, »Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

tcent@Luke:19:10 @ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.«

tcent@Luke:19:11 @ As they heard these things, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.

tcent@Luke:19:13 @ So he called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

tcent@Luke:19:16 @ Then came the first, saying, ‘ Master, your mina has earned ten minas more.’

tcent@Luke:19:18 @ And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’

tcent@Luke:19:20 @ Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept laid away in a handkerchief;

tcent@Luke:19:27 @ But those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.’«

tcent@Luke:19:29 @ When he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

tcent@Luke:19:35 @ And they brought it to Jesus, and they threw their garments on the colt and set Jesus on it.

tcent@Luke:19:36 @ And as he went along, many spread their garments on the road.

tcent@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, »Teacher, rebuke your disciples.«

tcent@Luke:19:43 @ For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

tcent@Luke:19:44 @ and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation.«

tcent@Luke:20:1 @ One day as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, came up to him

tcent@Luke:20:3 @ He answered them, »I also will ask you a question; now tell me,

tcent@Luke:20:4 @ the baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?«

tcent@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.«

tcent@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable: »A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vine-dressers, and went into another country for a long time.

tcent@Luke:20:10 @ At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

tcent@Luke:20:11 @ He sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

tcent@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others.« When they heard this, they said, »May this never be!«

tcent@Luke:20:18 @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.«

tcent@Luke:20:24 @ »Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?« They said, »Caesar’s.«

tcent@Luke:20:27 @ Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him,

tcent@Luke:20:31 @ and then the third took her, and in the same way the seven died, and they left no children.

tcent@Luke:20:39 @ And some of the scribes answered, »Teacher, you have spoken well.«

tcent@Luke:21:5 @ And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,

tcent@Luke:21:6 @ »As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.«

tcent@Luke:21:8 @ And he said: »Take heed that you not are deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

tcent@Luke:21:9 @ And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified; for these things must first take place, but the end will not come immediately.«

tcent@Luke:21:12 @ But before all this, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. And you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

tcent@Luke:21:14 @ Therefore settle it in your minds not to meditate beforehand how you will answer;

tcent@Luke:21:16 @ You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.

tcent@Luke:21:17 @ You will be hated by all for my name's sake.

tcent@Luke:21:24 @ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

tcent@Luke:21:26 @ men fainting from fear and foreboding of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

tcent@Luke:21:30 @ When they are sprouting, you see and know for yourselves that summer is already near.

tcent@Luke:21:34 @ »But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly like a trap.

tcent@Luke:21:35 @ For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.

tcent@Luke:21:36 @ Watch at all times, and pray always that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.«

tcent@Luke:21:38 @ And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

tcent@Luke:22:7 @ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

tcent@Luke:22:10 @ He said to them, »Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.

tcent@Luke:22:14 @ When the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him.

tcent@Luke:22:18 @ for I tell you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.«

tcent@Luke:22:19 @ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, »This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.«

tcent@Luke:22:21 @ But behold the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

tcent@Luke:22:28 @ You are those who have continued with me in my trials.

tcent@Luke:22:29 @ And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,

tcent@Luke:22:34 @ He said, »I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day before you deny three times that you know me.«

tcent@Luke:22:37 @ For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was numbered with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfillment.«

tcent@Luke:22:39 @ He came out, and went to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and his disciples followed him.

tcent@Luke:22:40 @ When he came to the place, he said to them, »Pray that you may not enter into temptation.«

tcent@Luke:22:42 @ »Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.«

tcent@Luke:22:44 @ And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

tcent@Luke:22:45 @ When he rose from prayer, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow.

tcent@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

tcent@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, »Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

tcent@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.«

tcent@Luke:22:58 @ And a little later some one else saw him and said, »You also are of them.« But Peter said, »Man, I am not!«

tcent@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, »Man, I do not know what you are saying!« Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

tcent@Luke:22:61 @ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, »Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.«

tcent@Luke:22:63 @ Now the men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him.

tcent@Luke:22:66 @ As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people came together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council chamber, saying,

tcent@Luke:23:4 @ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, »I find no crime in this man.«

tcent@Luke:23:7 @ And when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was in Jerusalem at that time.

tcent@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

tcent@Luke:23:10 @ The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

tcent@Luke:23:12 @ That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

tcent@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, »You have brought this man to me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those charges which you make against him;

tcent@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, »Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.«

tcent@Luke:23:27 @ And a great multitude of the people followed him, and women who also mourned and lamented him.

tcent@Luke:23:28 @ But Jesus turning to them said, »Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

tcent@Luke:23:33 @ And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

tcent@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.« And they divided his garments and cast lots.

tcent@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him, saying, »Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

tcent@Luke:23:42 @ Then he said, »Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.«

tcent@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, »Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.«

tcent@Luke:23:48 @ When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

tcent@Luke:23:49 @ But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

tcent@Luke:23:50 @ Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man,

tcent@Luke:23:51 @ who had not consented to their decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

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

tcent@Luke:23:56 @ Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

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

tcent@Luke:24:4 @ While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

tcent@Luke:24:5 @ And as they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, »Why do you seek the living among the dead?

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

tcent@Luke:24:7 @ ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’«

tcent@Luke:24:8 @ And they remembered his words.

tcent@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told this to the apostles.

tcent@Luke:24:11 @ But their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.

tcent@Luke:24:13 @ Now behold, that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

tcent@Luke:24:18 @ Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, »Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?«

tcent@Luke:24:22 @ In addition, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,

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

tcent@Luke:24:24 @ Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see.«

tcent@Luke:24:25 @ And he said to them, »O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

tcent@Luke:24:39 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.«

tcent@Luke:24:44 @ Then he said to them, »These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.«

tcent@Luke:24:47 @ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

tcent@John:1:4 @ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

tcent@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

tcent@John:1:7 @ He came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

tcent@John:1:8 @ He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

tcent@John:1:11 @ He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.

tcent@John:1:12 @ But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

tcent@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

tcent@John:1:15 @ John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, »This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.’«

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

tcent@John:1:27 @ It is he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.«

tcent@John:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.’

tcent@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.«

tcent@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

tcent@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, »What do you seek?« They said to him, »Rabbi« (which means Teacher), »where are you staying?«

tcent@John:1:39 @ He said to them, »Come and see.« They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

tcent@John:1:41 @ He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, »We have found the Messiah« (which means the Christ).

tcent@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, »You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas« (which means Peter).

tcent@John:1:43 @ The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, »Follow me.«

tcent@John:1:46 @ And Nathanael said to him, »Can anything good come out of Nazareth?« Philip said to him, »Come and see.«

tcent@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to him, »How do you know me?« Jesus answered him, »Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.«

tcent@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.«

tcent@John:2:8 @ He said to them, »Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast.« So they took it.

tcent@John:2:9 @ When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

tcent@John:2:16 @ And he said to those who sold doves, »Take these things away! You shall not make my Father's house a house of merchandise!«

tcent@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, »Zeal for your house will consume me.«

tcent@John:2:22 @ When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

tcent@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did.

tcent@John:2:24 @ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,

tcent@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

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

tcent@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to him, »How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?«

tcent@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.«

tcent@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven – the Son of Man.

tcent@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

tcent@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

tcent@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

tcent@John:3:21 @ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God.«

tcent@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

tcent@John:3:25 @ Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purifying.

tcent@John:3:26 @ And they came to John and said to him, »Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.«

tcent@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but I have been sent before him.

tcent@John:3:31 @ »He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.

tcent@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure.

tcent@John:4:5 @ So he came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

tcent@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, »Give me a drink.«

tcent@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, »How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?« For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

tcent@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, »If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.«

tcent@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.«

tcent@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.«

tcent@John:4:16 @ Jesus said to her, »Go, call your husband, and come here.«

tcent@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.«

tcent@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

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

tcent@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, »What do you wish?« or, »Why are you talking with her?«

tcent@John:4:29 @ »Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?«

tcent@John:4:30 @ They went out of the city and came to him.

tcent@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile his disciples urged him, saying, »Rabbi, eat.«

tcent@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, »My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

tcent@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are already white for harvest.

tcent@John:4:39 @ Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, »He told me all that I ever did.«

tcent@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

tcent@John:4:45 @ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

tcent@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.

tcent@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

tcent@John:4:49 @ The official said to him, »Sir, come down before my child dies.«

tcent@John:4:51 @ As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.

tcent@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, »Your son will live.« And he himself believed, and all his household.

tcent@John:4:54 @ This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

tcent@John:5:3 @ In these lay a multitude of disabled people, blind, lame, paralyzed.

tcent@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, »Do you want to be made well?«

tcent@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, »Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.«

tcent@John:5:11 @ But he answered them, »The man who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’«

tcent@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

tcent@John:5:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

tcent@John:5:27 @ and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

tcent@John:5:29 @ and come forth – those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

tcent@John:5:30 @ »I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

tcent@John:5:32 @ There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony which he bears of me is true.

tcent@John:5:35 @ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a time in his light.

tcent@John:5:36 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I am doing, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

tcent@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

tcent@John:5:39 @ You search the Scriptures, because in them you think that you have eternal life; and these are they that testify of me.

tcent@John:5:40 @ Yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

tcent@John:5:41 @ »I do not receive glory from men.

tcent@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

tcent@John:5:44 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

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

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

tcent@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, »Make the people sit down.« Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

tcent@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, »Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost.«

tcent@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

tcent@John:6:14 @ When the people saw the sign that Jesus did, they said, »Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.«

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

tcent@John:6:16 @ When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

tcent@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

tcent@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

tcent@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

tcent@John:6:25 @ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, »Rabbi, when did you come here?«

tcent@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

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

tcent@John:6:35 @ And Jesus said to them, »I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

tcent@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

tcent@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

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

tcent@John:6:39 @ And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:41 @ The Jews then began to murmur about him, because he said, »I am the bread which came down from heaven.«

tcent@John:6:42 @ They said, »Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?«

tcent@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

tcent@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

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

tcent@John:6:56 @ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

tcent@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me.

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

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

tcent@John:6:65 @ And he said, »This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.«

tcent@John:6:66 @ From this time many of his disciples went back and no longer walked with him.

tcent@John:6:69 @ And we believe, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.«

tcent@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, »My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

tcent@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

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

tcent@John:7:12 @ And there was much complaining among the people about him. Some said, »He is a good man«; others said, »No, on the contrary, he deceives the people.«

tcent@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them, »My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

tcent@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?«

tcent@John:7:23 @ If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

tcent@John:7:24 @ Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.«

tcent@John:7:25 @ Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, »Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

tcent@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.«

tcent@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, »You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

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

tcent@John:7:30 @ Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

tcent@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in him, and they said, »When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?«

tcent@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them, »I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.

tcent@John:7:34 @ You will seek me, and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come.«

tcent@John:7:36 @ What does he mean when he said, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?«

tcent@John:7:37 @ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, »If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

tcent@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.«

tcent@John:7:40 @ When they heard these words, some of the people said, »Surely this is the prophet.«

tcent@John:7:41 @ Others said, »This is the Christ.« But some said, »Will the Christ come from Galilee?

tcent@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?«

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

tcent@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

tcent@John:8:6 @ They said this to test him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

tcent@John:8:12 @ Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, »I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.«

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

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

tcent@John:8:17 @ In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

tcent@John:8:18 @ I am One who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.«

tcent@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, »Where is your Father?« Jesus answered, »You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.«

tcent@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

tcent@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, »I am going away, and you will seek me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.«

tcent@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said, »Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?«

tcent@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.«

tcent@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, »When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me.

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

tcent@John:8:37 @ I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

tcent@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

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

tcent@John:8:45 @ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

tcent@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

tcent@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, »I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

tcent@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, »If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

tcent@John:9:4 @ we must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

tcent@John:9:7 @ And he said to him, »Go, wash in the pool of Siloam« (which means, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

tcent@John:9:9 @ Some said, »It is he.« Others said, »No, but he is like him.« He said, »I am the man.«

tcent@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, »A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.«

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

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

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

tcent@John:9:27 @ He answered them, »I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?«

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

tcent@John:9:30 @ The man answered, »Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.

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

tcent@John:9:40 @ Then some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, »Are we blind also?«

tcent@John:10:1 @ »Truly, truly, I say to you, the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in by some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

tcent@John:10:3 @ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

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

tcent@John:10:9 @ I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

tcent@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

tcent@John:10:14 @ I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me—

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

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

tcent@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from my Father.«

tcent@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

tcent@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, »I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me;

tcent@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

tcent@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

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

tcent@John:10:35 @ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

tcent@John:10:37 @ If I do not do the works of my father, do not believe me;

tcent@John:10:38 @ but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.«

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

tcent@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

tcent@John:11:17 @ So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

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

tcent@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary sat in the house.

tcent@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her, »I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live;

tcent@John:11:26 @ and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?«

tcent@John:11:27 @ She said to him, »Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.«

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

tcent@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, »Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.«

tcent@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

tcent@John:11:34 @ And he said, »Where have you laid him?« They said to him, »Lord, come and see.«

tcent@John:11:37 @ But some of them said, »Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?«

tcent@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

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

tcent@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, »Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

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

tcent@John:11:43 @ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, »Lazarus, come out!«

tcent@John:11:44 @ The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with grave clothes, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, »Unbind him, and let him go.«

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

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

tcent@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.«

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

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

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

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

tcent@John:12:8 @ The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.«

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

tcent@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:12:13 @ They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying,

tcent@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

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

tcent@John:12:20 @ Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

tcent@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, »Sir, we wish to see Jesus.«

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

tcent@John:12:26 @ If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honor.

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

tcent@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify your name.« Then a voice came from heaven, »I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.«

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

tcent@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

tcent@John:12:32 @ And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.«

tcent@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.«

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

tcent@John:12:44 @ Then Jesus cried out and said, »He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

tcent@John:12:45 @ And he who sees me sees him who sent me.

tcent@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness.

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

tcent@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

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

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

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

tcent@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

tcent@John:13:4 @ rose from supper, laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded himself.

tcent@John:13:6 @ Then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, »Lord, are you going to wash my feet?«

tcent@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

tcent@John:13:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives anyone I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.«

tcent@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, »Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.«

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

tcent@John:13:30 @ Having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

tcent@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

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

tcent@John:16:8 @ And when he comes, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

tcent@John:16:9 @ of sin, because they do not believe in me;

tcent@John:16:10 @ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you see me no more;

tcent@John:16:11 @ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

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

tcent@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered, »Do you say this on your own, or did others say it to you about me?«

tcent@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, »Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?«

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

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

tcent@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

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

tcent@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

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

tcent@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

tcent@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Feed my lambs.«

tcent@Acts:7:37 @ This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren.’

tcent@Acts:7:41 @ At that time they made a calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.

tcent@Acts:7:45 @ And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua when they took the land from the nations whom God drove out before our fathers. So it was until the time of David,

tcent@Acts:7:58 @ Then they cast him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

tcent@Acts:8:2 @ Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

tcent@Acts:8:3 @ But Saul began ravaging the church, and, entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

tcent@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to a city of Samaria and proclaimed Christ to them.

tcent@Acts:8:7 @ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.

tcent@Acts:8:9 @ Now there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,

tcent@Acts:8:11 @ And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic.

tcent@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

tcent@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

tcent@Acts:8:15 @ who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Acts:8:16 @ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@Acts:8:19 @ saying, »Give me also this power, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:8:24 @ And Simon answered, »Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.«

tcent@Acts:8:27 @ So he got up and went. And there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship,

tcent@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, »How can I, unless someone guides me?« And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

tcent@Acts:8:34 @ And the eunuch said to Philip, »Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?«

tcent@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, »Look, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?«

tcent@Acts:8:39 @ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

tcent@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:9:2 @ and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:9:4 @ And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, »Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?«

tcent@Acts:9:7 @ The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

tcent@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, »Ananias.« And he said, »Here I am, Lord.«

tcent@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, »Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

tcent@Acts:9:12 @ and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.«

tcent@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.«

tcent@Acts:9:15 @ But the Lord said to him, »Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

tcent@Acts:9:16 @ for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.«

tcent@Acts:9:17 @ So Ananias departed and entered the house. And after laying his hands on him said, »Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight. And he got up and was baptized,

tcent@Acts:9:20 @ And immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, »He is the Son of God.«

tcent@Acts:9:21 @ All those who heard him were amazed, and said, »Is this not he who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?«

tcent@Acts:9:24 @ but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night, to kill him;

tcent@Acts:9:26 @ When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

tcent@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

tcent@Acts:9:28 @ And he was with them moving about freely in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

tcent@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.

tcent@Acts:9:34 @ Peter said to him, »Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.« Immediately he got up.

tcent@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was full of good works and acts of charity.

tcent@Acts:9:37 @ And at that time she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her body in an upper room.

tcent@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, »Please come to us without delay.«

tcent@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing the tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.

tcent@Acts:9:42 @ It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

tcent@Acts:9:43 @ And Peter stayed for many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

tcent@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

tcent@Acts:10:3 @ About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, »Cornelius!«

tcent@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, »What is it, Lord?« And he said to him, »Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

tcent@Acts:10:5 @ Now send men to Joppa, and bring a man named Simon who is called Peter;

tcent@Acts:10:6 @ he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.«

tcent@Acts:10:10 @ And he became hungry and was desiring something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

tcent@Acts:10:11 @ and he saw heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners to the earth.

tcent@Acts:10:13 @ A voice came to him, »Get up, Peter. Kill and eat!«

tcent@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice came to him again a second time, »What God has cleansed, you must not call common.«

tcent@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times, and immediately the thing was taken up to heaven.

tcent@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, appeared at the gate.

tcent@Acts:10:19 @ While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, »Behold, three men are looking for you.

tcent@Acts:10:21 @ Peter went down to the men and said, »Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason you have come?«

tcent@Acts:10:22 @ They said, »Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say.«

tcent@Acts:10:25 @ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshipped him.

tcent@Acts:10:28 @ And he said to them, »You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

tcent@Acts:10:29 @ So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. I ask then why you sent for me.«

tcent@Acts:10:30 @ Cornelius said, »Four days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during the ninth hour; and behold, a man stood before me in shining garments,

tcent@Acts:10:31 @ and he said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

tcent@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.«

tcent@Acts:10:35 @ but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is welcome to him.

tcent@Acts:10:43 @ Of him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.«

tcent@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the message.

tcent@Acts:10:45 @ All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:10:48 @ And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

tcent@Acts:11:3 @ saying, »You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.«

tcent@Acts:11:5 @ »I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, something descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me.

tcent@Acts:11:7 @ Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat!’

tcent@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’

tcent@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

tcent@Acts:11:11 @ And behold, at that moment three men appeared at the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:11:12 @ The Spirit told me to go with them with no hesitation. These six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

tcent@Acts:11:14 @ he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’

tcent@Acts:11:16 @ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

tcent@Acts:11:17 @ So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could oppose God?«

tcent@Acts:11:20 @ But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

tcent@Acts:11:26 @ and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year they met with the church and taught great numbers of people; and the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:27 @ Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

tcent@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to persecute them.

tcent@Acts:12:2 @ He had James the brother of John put to death with the sword.

tcent@Acts:12:8 @ And the angel said to him, »Dress yourself and put on your sandals.« And he did so. And he said to him, »Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.«

tcent@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

tcent@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, »Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.«

tcent@Acts:12:13 @ And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

tcent@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, »Tell this to James and to the brethren.« Then he left and went to another place.

tcent@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

tcent@Acts:12:20 @ Now he was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and they came to him in a body, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

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

tcent@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

tcent@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, »Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.«

tcent@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their helper.

tcent@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus,

tcent@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

tcent@Acts:13:11 @ Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.« And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

tcent@Acts:13:13 @ Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:13:14 @ But they passed on from Perga and came to Pisidian Antioch. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

tcent@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was completing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

tcent@Acts:13:26 @ »Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

tcent@Acts:13:31 @ and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

tcent@Acts:13:38 @ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

tcent@Acts:13:40 @ Therefore take care, so that what is said in the prophets may not come upon you:

tcent@Acts:13:43 @ When the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

tcent@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

tcent@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

tcent@Acts:14:3 @ So they spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

tcent@Acts:14:4 @ But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

tcent@Acts:14:6 @ they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and to the surrounding country;

tcent@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra there was a man sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.

tcent@Acts:14:11 @ And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, »The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!«

tcent@Acts:14:12 @ Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.

tcent@Acts:14:15 @ »Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

tcent@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium; and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

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

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

tcent@Acts:14:28 @ And they spent a long time with the disciples.

tcent@Acts:15:1 @ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, »Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.«

tcent@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

tcent@Acts:15:4 @ When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.

tcent@Acts:15:5 @ But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up, and said, »It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the Law of Moses.«

tcent@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and the elders came together to consider this matter.

tcent@Acts:15:13 @ After they finished speaking, James replied, »Brethren, listen to me.

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

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

tcent@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

tcent@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some persons from us have disturbed you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

tcent@Acts:15:25 @ it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

tcent@Acts:15:26 @ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@Acts:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth.

tcent@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

tcent@Acts:15:31 @ And when they read it, they rejoiced at its encouragement.

tcent@Acts:15:33 @ And after they had spent some time there, they were sent off in peace by the brethren to those who had sent them.

tcent@Acts:15:36 @ After some days Paul said to Barnabas, »Let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.«

tcent@Acts:15:39 @ There arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

tcent@Acts:15:40 @ But Paul chose Silas and left, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek,

tcent@Acts:16:7 @ And when they came to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

tcent@Acts:16:9 @ A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and begging him, and saying, »Come over to Macedonia and help us.«

tcent@Acts:16:10 @ When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

tcent@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philippi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. We stayed in this city some days;

tcent@Acts:16:13 @ and on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had come together.

tcent@Acts:16:14 @ A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, who was a worshiper of God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

tcent@Acts:16:15 @ When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, »If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.« And she prevailed upon us.

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

tcent@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and the rest of us, crying, »These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way of salvation.«

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

tcent@Acts:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, »These men are Jews and they are throwing our city into an uproar.

tcent@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined against them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

tcent@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

tcent@Acts:16:33 @ He took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his family.

tcent@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent their police, saying, »Release those men.«

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

tcent@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, »They have beaten us publicly, without trial, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.«

tcent@Acts:16:39 @ So they came and apologized to them, and they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

tcent@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

tcent@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

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

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

tcent@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has welcomed them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

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

tcent@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

tcent@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul out to go as far as the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

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

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

tcent@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.«

tcent@Acts:17:21 @ (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

tcent@Acts:17:22 @ So Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: »Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.

tcent@Acts:17:25 @ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.

tcent@Acts:17:26 @ And he made from one man every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

tcent@Acts:17:28 @ as even some of your own poets have said,

tcent@Acts:17:29 @ Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

tcent@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,

tcent@Acts:17:31 @ because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given proof to all men by raising him from the dead.«

tcent@Acts:17:32 @ Now when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, »We want to hear you again on this subject.«

tcent@Acts:17:34 @ But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

tcent@Acts:18:2 @ And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He went to see them,

tcent@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.

tcent@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, »Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.«

tcent@Acts:18:7 @ Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

tcent@Acts:18:12 @ But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

tcent@Acts:18:13 @ saying, »This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law.«

tcent@Acts:18:14 @ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, »If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

tcent@Acts:18:15 @ but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things.«

tcent@Acts:18:16 @ And he drove them from the judgment seat.

tcent@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

tcent@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

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

tcent@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

tcent@Acts:18:24 @ Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.

tcent@Acts:18:27 @ And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

tcent@Acts:19:1 @ While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

tcent@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@Acts:19:6 @ And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

tcent@Acts:19:7 @ There were about twelve men in all.

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

tcent@Acts:19:13 @ But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, »I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.«

tcent@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

tcent@Acts:19:18 @ Many also of those who believed now came, confessing and disclosing their practices.

tcent@Acts:19:19 @ And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

tcent@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, »After I have been there, I must also see Rome.«

tcent@Acts:19:23 @ About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.

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

tcent@Acts:19:25 @ These he gathered together, with the workmen of similar trades, and said, »Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth.

tcent@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

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

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

tcent@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, »Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?

tcent@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.

tcent@Acts:19:38 @ If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.

tcent@Acts:20:2 @ When he had gone through those parts and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.

tcent@Acts:20:6 @ But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

tcent@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

tcent@Acts:20:9 @ And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep. And as Paul talked on and on, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.

tcent@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and fell on him, and after embracing him, he said, »Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.«

tcent@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

tcent@Acts:20:15 @ Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day after that we came to Miletus.

tcent@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

tcent@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: »You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

tcent@Acts:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;

tcent@Acts:20:22 @ And now, behold, bound in the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

tcent@Acts:20:23 @ except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

tcent@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

tcent@Acts:20:29 @ I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

tcent@Acts:20:30 @ and from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

tcent@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night and day to admonish each one with tears.

tcent@Acts:20:32 @ And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

tcent@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

tcent@Acts:20:35 @ In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’«

tcent@Acts:21:1 @ When we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

tcent@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

tcent@Acts:21:6 @ Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.

tcent@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.

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

tcent@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, »What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

tcent@Acts:21:18 @ And the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

tcent@Acts:21:22 @ What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

tcent@Acts:21:23 @ Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

tcent@Acts:21:24 @ take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself live in observance of the law.

tcent@Acts:21:25 @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote to them our decision that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.«

tcent@Acts:21:26 @ The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each one of them.

tcent@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, »Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place; and besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place.«

tcent@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

tcent@Acts:21:31 @ While they were trying to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

tcent@Acts:21:32 @ At once he took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to them; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

tcent@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

tcent@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, and some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

tcent@Acts:21:35 @ When he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;

tcent@Acts:21:37 @ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, »May I say something to you?« And he said, »Do you know Greek?

tcent@Acts:21:38 @ Then you are not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?«

tcent@Acts:21:39 @ Paul replied, »I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; I beg you, let me speak to the people.«

tcent@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they became more quiet. And he said:

tcent@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,

tcent@Acts:22:6 @ »As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

tcent@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’

tcent@Acts:22:8 @ And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’

tcent@Acts:22:9 @ And those who were with me saw the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

tcent@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.’

tcent@Acts:22:11 @ But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

tcent@Acts:22:13 @ came to me, and standing near said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very time I looked up at him.

tcent@Acts:22:15 @ For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

tcent@Acts:22:16 @ Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

tcent@Acts:22:18 @ and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’

tcent@Acts:22:20 @ When the blood of Stephen your witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who were killing him.’

tcent@Acts:22:21 @ And he said to me, ‘Go; for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’«

tcent@Acts:22:27 @ So the commander came and said to him, »Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?« And he said, »Yes.«

tcent@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately; and the commander also was afraid when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had put him in chains.

tcent@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, »God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?«

tcent@Acts:23:9 @ There occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, »We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?«

tcent@Acts:23:10 @ The dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

tcent@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, »Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome.«

tcent@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:13 @ There were more than forty who formed this plot.

tcent@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near.«

tcent@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called one of the centurions and said, »Take this young man to the commander; for he has something to tell him.«

tcent@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, »Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, since he has something to tell you.«

tcent@Acts:23:19 @ The commander took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, »What is it that you have to tell me?«

tcent@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, »The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Council, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him.

tcent@Acts:23:22 @ So the commander dismissed the young man, instructing him, »Tell no one that you have informed me of this.«

tcent@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, »At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

tcent@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused over questions about their Law, but there was no accusation against him deserving death or imprisonment.

tcent@Acts:23:30 @ And when I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you.«

tcent@Acts:23:32 @ But the next day, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the barracks.

tcent@Acts:23:33 @ When these had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

tcent@Acts:24:1 @ After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.

tcent@Acts:24:12 @ They did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city.

tcent@Acts:24:13 @ Neither can they prove to you the charges they are now making against me.

tcent@Acts:24:15 @ having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there will certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

tcent@Acts:24:16 @ And so I do my best always to have a clear conscience before God and men.

tcent@Acts:24:17 @ Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings.

tcent@Acts:24:18 @ As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or uproar. But there were some Jews from Asia—

tcent@Acts:24:19 @ who ought to be here before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.

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

tcent@Acts:24:22 @ But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, »When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.«

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

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

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

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

tcent@Acts:25:2 @ And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews brought charges against Paul; and they urged him,

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

tcent@Acts:25:7 @ And when Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges against him, which they could not prove.

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

tcent@Acts:25:11 @ If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of the charges brought against me is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.«

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

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

tcent@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him of such crimes as I had expected,

tcent@Acts:25:19 @ but they simply had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

tcent@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

tcent@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, »King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Acts:26:9 @ I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

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

tcent@Acts:26:13 @ At midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Acts:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

tcent@Acts:26:28 @ And Agrippa said to Paul, »In a short time you think to persuade me to become a Christian!«

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

tcent@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, »This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.«

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

tcent@Acts:27:8 @ We sailed along it with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

tcent@Acts:27:9 @ As much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

tcent@Acts:27:10 @ and said to them, »Men, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.«

tcent@Acts:27:12 @ Because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

tcent@Acts:27:13 @ When a gentle south wind came up, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.

tcent@Acts:27:21 @ When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up among them and said, »Men, you should have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.

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

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

tcent@Acts:27:26 @ But we must run aground on some island.«

tcent@Acts:27:27 @ But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to sense that they were approaching land.

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

tcent@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, »Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.«

tcent@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, »Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

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

tcent@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.

tcent@Acts:27:39 @ When day came, they could not recognize the land, but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.

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

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

tcent@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

tcent@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

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

tcent@Acts:28:9 @ When this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.

tcent@Acts:28:13 @ From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.

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

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

tcent@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

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

tcent@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, »We have not received letters from Judea concerning you, and none of the brethren who have come here has reported or spoken anything bad about you.

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

tcent@Acts:28:24 @ Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.

tcent@Acts:28:25 @ When they disagreed among themselves, they began to leave, after Paul had made one final statement: »The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

tcent@Acts:28:30 @ And he stayed there two whole years in his own rented quarters and welcomed all who came to him,

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

tcent@Romans:1:7 @ To all in Rome who are beloved of God, called to be saints:

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

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

tcent@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last find the way to come to you.

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

tcent@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have some harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

tcent@Romans:1:15 @ so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:1:22 @ Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

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

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

tcent@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do the same yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

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

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

tcent@Romans:2:15 @ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them

tcent@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

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

tcent@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

tcent@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

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

tcent@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, and not by the written code. His praise is not from men but from God.

tcent@Romans:3:3 @ What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

tcent@Romans:3:8 @ Why not say – as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say—»Let us do evil that good may come«? Their condemnation is just.

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

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

tcent@Romans:3:26 @ and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

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

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

tcent@Romans:4:18 @ In hope, he believed against hope, so that he became the father of many nations; as he had been told, »So shall your descendants be.«

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

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

tcent@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

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

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

tcent@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

tcent@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

tcent@Romans:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.

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

tcent@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

tcent@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.

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

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

tcent@Romans:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

tcent@Romans:7:10 @ The very commandment which was to bring life I found to be death to me.

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

tcent@Romans:7:12 @ So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

tcent@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But it was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

tcent@Romans:7:17 @ So then, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

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

tcent@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

tcent@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

tcent@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law, at war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

tcent@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

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

tcent@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

tcent@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us.

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,

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

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

tcent@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but, »Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.«

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

tcent@Romans:9:16 @ So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:10:11 @ The scripture says, »No one who believes in him will be put to shame.«

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

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

tcent@Romans:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

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

tcent@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.

tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

tcent@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

tcent@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

tcent@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.

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

tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

tcent@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

tcent@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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

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

tcent@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, »You shall not commit adultery,« »You shall not murder,« »You shall not steal,« »You shall not covet,« and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:14:18 @ he who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.

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

tcent@Romans:14:21 @ It is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.

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

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

tcent@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written very boldly to you on some points, so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

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

tcent@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

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

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

tcent@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

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

tcent@Romans:15:32 @ so that by God's will I may come to you with joy, and together with you be refreshed.

tcent@Romans:15:33 @ The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

tcent@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

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

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

tcent@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

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

tcent@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

tcent@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each one of you says, »I am of Paul,« and »I of Apollos,« and »I of Cephas,« and »I of Christ.«

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as carnal men, as infants in Christ.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become a fool so that he may become wise.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by any human court; I do not even judge myself.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted by this. It is the Lord who judges me.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already filled! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! And indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and we are poorly clothed, and roughly treated, and homeless;

tcent@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write this to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the words of these arrogant people, but their power.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between his brethren,

tcent@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were as I myself am. But each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what counts.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; so that from now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none,

tcent@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, being accustomed to idols, eat food as really sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food will not commend us to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:3 @ This is my defense to those who would examine me.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Does not the Law say the same thing?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:14 @ In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living from the gospel.

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law—though not being myself under the law—so that I might win those under the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who are without law, I became as one without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that I might by all means save some.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food;

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, »The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:8 @ We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience;

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaved.

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, »This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.«

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:5 @ And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:6 @ There are varieties of working, but the same God who works all of them in all men.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

tcent@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one member, where would the body be?

tcent@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:1 @ If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:10 @ Undoubtedly there are many languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the »Amen« to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:8 @ And last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all rule and all authority and power.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will ask, »How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?«

tcent@1Corinthians:15:36 @ You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:45 @ So it is written, »The first man Adam became a living being«; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written:

tcent@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each one of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be on the your guard, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:16 @ to be subject to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If anyone does not love the Lord—let him be accursed. Come, O Lord!

tcent@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings that we suffer.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double benefit.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a fleshly manner so that in the same breath I say, »Yes, Yes« and »No, No«?

tcent@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it has always been Yes.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are Yes. And so through him we speak our Amen to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

tcent@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was fading away came with glory, much more is the glory of that which lasts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, »I believed and therefore I spoke,« we also believe and therefore speak,

tcent@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

tcent@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore we are always of good courage; and we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, I say, and would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to you, but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you may have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, distresses,

tcent@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, sleeplessness, hunger,

tcent@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

tcent@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—conflicts on the outside and fears within.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affection goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now finish the work, so that your readiness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but at the present time your abundance should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be equality.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this liberal gift which we are administering,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

tcent@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:1 @ I, Paul, myself urge you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold to you when I am away!—

tcent@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you; we were the first to come even as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not go beyond limits by boasting in other men’s labors, but our hope is that as your faith grows, our sphere among you may be greatly enlarged,

tcent@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, with more beatings, and often in danger of death.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the open sea.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:26 @ I have been on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, in danger from robbers, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the wilderness, in danger at sea, and in danger from false brethren;

tcent@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me,

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I should boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated because of the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should depart from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, »My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.« Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what respect were you inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

tcent@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you what I wish you to be, and you may not find me what you wish me to be; I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lewdness which they have practiced.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned in the past and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present the second time, that if I come again I will not spare them—

tcent@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now we pray to God that you may not do wrong—not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem to have failed.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

tcent@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

tcent@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Galatians:1:7 @ which is really not another gospel; but there are some who are disturbing you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

tcent@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it;

tcent@Galatians:1:14 @ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

tcent@Galatians:1:15 @ But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased

tcent@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

tcent@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

tcent@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.

tcent@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

tcent@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God because of me.

tcent@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

tcent@Galatians:2:5 @ We did not yield to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

tcent@Galatians:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

tcent@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

tcent@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

tcent@Galatians:2:10 @ All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

tcent@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

tcent@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing the party of the circumcision.

tcent@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

tcent@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing.«

tcent@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree«—

tcent@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

tcent@Galatians:3:17 @ What I mean is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:19 @ Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

tcent@Galatians:3:20 @ Now a mediator does not represent just one party; but God is one.

tcent@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness would indeed have come by the law.

tcent@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

tcent@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

tcent@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of all the estate;

tcent@Galatians:4:3 @ So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the elemental things of the world.

tcent@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

tcent@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

tcent@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things? Do you desire to be enslaved all over again?

tcent@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

tcent@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

tcent@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

tcent@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

tcent@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

tcent@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

tcent@Galatians:4:24 @ This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

tcent@Galatians:4:29 @ But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

tcent@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.

tcent@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and the one who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

tcent@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

tcent@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

tcent@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

tcent@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

tcent@Galatians:6:14 @ But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

tcent@Galatians:6:16 @ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.

tcent@Galatians:6:17 @ From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:1:4 @ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him. In love

tcent@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

tcent@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of his might

tcent@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

tcent@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

tcent@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called »Uncircumcision« by the so-called »Circumcision,« which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

tcent@Ephesians:2:12 @ remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

tcent@Ephesians:2:15 @ by abolishing in his flesh the hostility, which is the Law of commandments and ordinances, so that he might create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,

tcent@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near;

tcent@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are members of God's household,

tcent@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord;

tcent@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

tcent@Ephesians:3:3 @ that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

tcent@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

tcent@Ephesians:3:6 @ that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

tcent@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

tcent@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

tcent@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

tcent@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, »He ascended,« what does it mean except that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

tcent@Ephesians:4:11 @ And he gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

tcent@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to become mature, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:4:14 @ As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.

tcent@Ephesians:4:19 @ and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, greedy for the practice of every kind of impurity.

tcent@Ephesians:4:22 @ You were taught, with regard to your former manner of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful lusts;

tcent@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, each one of you must speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

tcent@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but rather must labor, doing useful work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with those in need.

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

tcent@Ephesians:5:3 @ But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

tcent@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

tcent@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

tcent@Ephesians:5:15 @ Be careful, then, how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise,

tcent@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

tcent@Philippians:1:7 @ For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

tcent@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

tcent@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ;

tcent@Philippians:1:11 @ having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

tcent@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

tcent@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

tcent@Philippians:1:14 @ and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have been encouraged to speak the word of God without fear.

tcent@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

tcent@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

tcent@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed in anything, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

tcent@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

tcent@Philippians:1:22 @ But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I do not know.

tcent@Philippians:1:26 @ so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

tcent@Philippians:1:27 @ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

tcent@Philippians:1:30 @ having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

tcent@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

tcent@Philippians:2:2 @ make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

tcent@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

tcent@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to deatheven death on a cross.

tcent@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

tcent@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

tcent@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

tcent@Philippians:2:18 @ So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

tcent@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

tcent@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

tcent@Philippians:2:24 @ and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

tcent@Philippians:2:25 @ But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

tcent@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

tcent@Philippians:2:29 @ So receive him in the Lord with all joy; and honor men like him,

tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

tcent@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

tcent@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God and is by faith,

tcent@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

tcent@Philippians:3:19 @ Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

tcent@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, and I ask you also, true yoke-fellow, to help these women who have struggled at my side in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

tcent@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

tcent@Philippians:4:9 @ Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

tcent@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you had no opportunity.

tcent@Philippians:4:13 @ I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

tcent@Philippians:4:15 @ You yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the first preaching of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only;

tcent@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessalonica you sent me a gift once and again for my needs.

tcent@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

tcent@Hebrews:1:1 @ In the past God spoke to our fathers by the prophets at many times and in various ways,

tcent@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

tcent@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken by angels was valid, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

tcent@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

tcent@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it is not to angels that he subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

tcent@Hebrews:2:6 @ But there is a place where someone has testified,

tcent@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

tcent@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

tcent@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have come to share in Christ if we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

tcent@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any one of you be judged to have come short of it.

tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

tcent@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: »And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«

tcent@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

tcent@Hebrews:4:7 @ God again set a certain day, »Today,« saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

tcent@Hebrews:4:11 @ Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience.

tcent@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

tcent@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:9 @ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

tcent@Hebrews:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

tcent@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

tcent@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

tcent@Hebrews:6:2 @ with instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

tcent@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

tcent@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

tcent@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire each one of you to show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

tcent@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men swear by one greater than themselves, and in all their disputes the oath is final for confirmation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

tcent@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

tcent@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:2 @ And to him Abraham gave a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

tcent@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:7:8 @ In this case tithes are received by mortal men, but in that case by one of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

tcent@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not one designated according to the order of Aaron?

tcent@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

tcent@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

tcent@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

tcent@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but he became a priest with an oath through the One who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:22 @ Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

tcent@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

tcent@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

tcent@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; and so it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

tcent@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, he has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

tcent@Hebrews:9:5 @ and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

tcent@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is symbolic for the present time. According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

tcent@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they relate only to food and drink and various washings – regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of reformation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the holy place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

tcent@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

tcent@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

tcent@Hebrews:9:21 @ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

tcent@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

tcent@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

tcent@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

tcent@Hebrews:10:9 @ then he said, »Behold, I have come to do your will.« He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

tcent@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest stands daily at his service, offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:12 @ But when he had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

tcent@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time until his enemies be made a stool for his feet.

tcent@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

tcent@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the Day drawing near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

tcent@Hebrews:10:28 @ Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

tcent@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much severer punishment do you think a man will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as an unclean thing the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

tcent@Hebrews:10:32 @ But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

tcent@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to insult and persecution; and at other times standing side by side with those who were so treated.

tcent@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the men of old received divine approval.

tcent@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his gifts. And through faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

tcent@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

tcent@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in godly fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

tcent@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he lived in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise;

tcent@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

tcent@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

tcent@Hebrews:11:19 @ He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

tcent@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites, and gave orders concerning his bones.

tcent@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies.

tcent@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

tcent@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions,

tcent@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight.

tcent@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

tcent@Hebrews:11:36 @ And others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

tcent@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

tcent@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

tcent@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

tcent@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

tcent@Hebrews:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

tcent@Hebrews:12:15 @ See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness spring up and cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;

tcent@Hebrews:12:16 @ that no one be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

tcent@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

tcent@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the joyful assembly

tcent@Hebrews:12:23 @ and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

tcent@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

tcent@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

tcent@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves are also in the body.

tcent@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.

tcent@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

tcent@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city which is to come.

tcent@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

tcent@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

tcent@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you if he comes soon.

tcent@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.

tcent@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: greetings.

tcent@James:1:2 @ Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

tcent@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

tcent@James:1:4 @ And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

tcent@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

tcent@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

tcent@James:1:7 @ For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

tcent@James:1:8 @ being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

tcent@James:1:9 @ But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

tcent@James:1:10 @ and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

tcent@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls and its beauty is destroyed. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

tcent@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

tcent@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

tcent@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own desire.

tcent@James:1:15 @ Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death.

tcent@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

tcent@James:1:17 @ Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

tcent@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

tcent@James:1:19 @ This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,

tcent@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

tcent@James:1:21 @ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

tcent@James:1:22 @ But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

tcent@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

tcent@James:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

tcent@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

tcent@James:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

tcent@James:2:1 @ My brethren, show no favoritism as you hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@James:2:2 @ For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothes,

tcent@James:2:3 @ and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes and say, »Have a seat here in a good place,« and you say to the poor man, »You stand there,« or, »Sit by my feet,«

tcent@James:2:4 @ have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

tcent@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

tcent@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?

tcent@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme the honorable name by which you have been called?

tcent@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself,« you are doing well.

tcent@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

tcent@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point has become guilty of all of it.

tcent@James:2:11 @ For he who said, »Do not commit adultery,« said also, »Do not murder.« If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

tcent@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

tcent@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

tcent@James:2:14 @ What good is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has no works? Can such faith save him?

tcent@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

tcent@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »Go in peace, be warmed and filled,« and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

tcent@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

tcent@James:2:18 @ But someone will say, »You have faith and I have works.« Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

tcent@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.

tcent@James:2:20 @ But are you willing to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is useless?

tcent@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

tcent@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was working with his works, and faith was completed by works,

tcent@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness«, and he was called the friend of God.

tcent@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

tcent@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

tcent@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

tcent@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

tcent@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

tcent@James:3:3 @ If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.

tcent@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

tcent@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

tcent@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the members of the body. The tongue corrupts our whole person, sets the whole course of our life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

tcent@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

tcent@James:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

tcent@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.

tcent@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

tcent@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

tcent@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

tcent@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good life let him show his deeds in the humility of wisdom.

tcent@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

tcent@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

tcent@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

tcent@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy.

tcent@James:3:18 @ And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

tcent@James:4:1 @ What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

tcent@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

tcent@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

tcent@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

tcent@James:4:5 @ Or do you think that the Scripture says without reason: »He jealously desires the Spirit which he has made to dwell in us«?

tcent@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says,

tcent@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

tcent@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

tcent@James:4:9 @ Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

tcent@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

tcent@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

tcent@James:4:12 @ There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

tcent@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, »Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.«

tcent@James:4:14 @ Yet you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

tcent@James:4:15 @ Instead, you ought to say, »If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.«

tcent@James:4:16 @ As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

tcent@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

tcent@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

tcent@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out against you; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

tcent@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

tcent@James:5:6 @ You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

tcent@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rains.

tcent@James:5:8 @ You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

tcent@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.

tcent@James:5:10 @ As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

tcent@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

tcent@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

tcent@James:5:13 @ Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.

tcent@James:5:14 @ Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

tcent@James:5:15 @ and the prayer offered in faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

tcent@James:5:16 @ Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

tcent@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

tcent@James:5:18 @ Then he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain and the earth produced its fruit.

tcent@James:5:19 @ My brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back,

tcent@James:5:20 @ let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

tcent@1Peter:1:5 @ who are protected by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

tcent@1Peter:1:9 @ as you obtain the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:1:10 @ As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you inquired and searched carefully,

tcent@1Peter:1:11 @ seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

tcent@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:17 @ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile on earth.

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:2:4 @ As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God—

tcent@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the supreme authority,

tcent@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

tcent@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.

tcent@1Peter:3:1 @ You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,

tcent@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be merely outward—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on fine clothing;

tcent@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, and were submissive to their own husbands;

tcent@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with honor as the weaker partner, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

tcent@1Peter:3:16 @ and keep a clear conscience, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

tcent@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

tcent@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

tcent@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

tcent@1Peter:4:4 @ In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they abuse you;

tcent@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they might live in the spirit according to the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

tcent@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

tcent@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a troublesome meddler;

tcent@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

tcent@1Peter:4:17 @ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

tcent@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

tcent@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

tcent@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

tcent@1Peter:5:9 @ But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren throughout the world.

tcent@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

tcent@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and become partakers of the divine nature.

tcent@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

tcent@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will see to it that after my departure you will be able at any time to call these things to mind.

tcent@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@2Peter:1:21 @ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

tcent@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

tcent@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men

tcent@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

tcent@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

tcent@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

tcent@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you.

tcent@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

tcent@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

tcent@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

tcent@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

tcent@2Peter:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days, with scoffing, following their own lusts

tcent@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by means of water,

tcent@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world at that time was destroyed, being deluged with water.

tcent@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

tcent@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

tcent@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

tcent@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

tcent@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, spotless and blameless.

tcent@2Peter:3:16 @ He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

tcent@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

tcent@1John:1:5 @ This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

tcent@1John:2:3 @ Now by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

tcent@1John:2:4 @ He who says, »I know him,« but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

tcent@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

tcent@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

tcent@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come; by this we know that it is the last hour.

tcent@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

tcent@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

tcent@1John:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

tcent@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

tcent@1John:3:24 @ Now those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

tcent@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

tcent@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

tcent@1John:4:17 @ In this love is perfected among us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

tcent@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. And he who fears is not made perfect in love.

tcent@1John:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

tcent@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

tcent@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

tcent@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

tcent@1John:5:5 @ Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

tcent@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood.

tcent@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which he has borne witness of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:13 @ I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

tcent@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

tcent@2John:1:3 @ grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.

tcent@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

tcent@2John:1:5 @ And now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

tcent@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in love.

tcent@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting;

tcent@2John:1:12 @ Though I have much to write to you, I do not want to use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

tcent@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, and how you are walking in truth.

tcent@3John:1:7 @ For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

tcent@3John:1:8 @ Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

tcent@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

tcent@3John:1:10 @ So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping against us with evil words. And not satisfied with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

tcent@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

tcent@3John:1:14 @ I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.

tcent@Jude:1:2 @ may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

tcent@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that the Lord who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

tcent@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, he has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

tcent@Jude:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in strange flesh, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

tcent@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in the same way these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones.

tcent@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a reviling judgment, but said, »The Lord rebuke you!«

tcent@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand; and the things that they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals do, by these things they are destroyed.

tcent@Jude:1:12 @ These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

tcent@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

tcent@Jude:1:14 @ It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of his holy ones,

tcent@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.«

tcent@Jude:1:17 @ But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

tcent@Jude:1:22 @ And have mercy on some, who doubt;

tcent@Jude:1:23 @ save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

tcent@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near.

tcent@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,

tcent@Revelation:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

tcent@Revelation:1:12 @ Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

tcent@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire;

tcent@Revelation:1:17 @ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, »Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

tcent@Revelation:2:2 @ I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot bear evil men, but you have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and have found them to be false;

tcent@Revelation:2:3 @ I know you have persevered and have endured for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

tcent@Revelation:2:5 @ Remember then from where you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

tcent@Revelation:2:7 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’

tcent@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful even until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

tcent@Revelation:2:11 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.’

tcent@Revelation:2:13 @ I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

tcent@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to practice sexual immorality.

tcent@Revelation:2:16 @ Repent therefore, or else I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

tcent@Revelation:2:17 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it.’

tcent@Revelation:2:21 @ I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality.

tcent@Revelation:2:24 @ But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I will not lay upon you any other burden;

tcent@Revelation:2:25 @ only hold fast what you have until I come.

tcent@Revelation:2:26 @ He who overcomes, and keeps my works until the end,

tcent@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

tcent@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

tcent@Revelation:3:5 @ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

tcent@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

tcent@Revelation:3:17 @ You say, »I am rich; I have become wealthy, and have need of nothing«—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,

tcent@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments to clothe you, and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

tcent@Revelation:3:20 @ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

tcent@Revelation:3:21 @ To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

tcent@Revelation:4:1 @ After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the voice, which I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, »Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.«

tcent@Revelation:4:3 @ And he who sat there was like jasper and carnelian in appearance, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

tcent@Revelation:4:4 @ Round the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads.

tcent@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne come flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder. And before the throne were seven lamps of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;

tcent@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, »Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.«

tcent@Revelation:5:7 @ And he came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

tcent@Revelation:5:14 @ And the four living creatures said, »Amen!« And the elders fell down and worshipped.

tcent@Revelation:6:1 @ Then I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder, »Come!«

tcent@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, »Come!«

tcent@Revelation:6:4 @ And out came a horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and to him was given a great sword.

tcent@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, »Come.« And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.

tcent@Revelation:6:7 @ When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, »Come!«

tcent@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and its rider's name was Death, and Hades was following him. And they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

tcent@Revelation:6:12 @ I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

tcent@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,

tcent@Revelation:6:17 @ for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?«

tcent@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, »Who are these, clothed in white robes, and where have they come from?«

tcent@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, »Sir, you know.« And he said to me, »These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

tcent@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

tcent@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

tcent@Revelation:9:3 @ Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.

tcent@Revelation:9:6 @ And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

tcent@Revelation:9:8 @ their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.

tcent@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to hurt men for five months lies in their tails.

tcent@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still to come.

tcent@Revelation:9:17 @ And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and sulfur.

tcent@Revelation:9:18 @ A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

tcent@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, »Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.«

tcent@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, »Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.«

tcent@Revelation:11:1 @ Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, »Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there.

tcent@Revelation:11:2 @ But leave out the court outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the nations; and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:11:9 @ For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.

tcent@Revelation:11:10 @ And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

tcent@Revelation:11:12 @ Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, »Come up here.« And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

tcent@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

tcent@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

tcent@Revelation:13:1 @ And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on his horns, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

tcent@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads seemed to have a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.
