wmth@Mark:3:8 @ and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.

wmth@Mark:3:10 @ For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.

wmth@Mark:7:34 @ and looking up to Heaven He sighed, and said to him, »Ephphatha!« (that is, »Open!«)

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

wmth@Mark:8:12 @ Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, »Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day.«

wmth@Mark:8:27 @ From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, »Who do people say that I am?«

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

wmth@Mark:8:29 @ Then He asked them pointedly, »But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?«»You are the Christ,« answered Peter.

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

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

wmth@Mark:9:12 @ »Elijah,« He replied, »does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

wmth@Mark:9:13 @ Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him.«

wmth@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

wmth@Mark:9:25 @ Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, »Dumb and deaf spirit, command you, come out of him and never enter into him again.«

wmth@Mark:9:26 @ So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;

wmth@Mark:9:28 @ After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, »How is it that we could not expel the spirit?«

wmth@Mark:9:30 @ Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;

wmth@Mark:9:38 @ »Rabbi,« said John to Him, »we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did not follow us.«

wmth@Mark:12:14 @ So they came to Him. »Rabbi,« they said, »we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

wmth@Luke:23:7 @ And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.

wmth@Luke:23:12 @ And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.

wmth@Luke:23:15 @ No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.

wmth@Luke:23:22 @ A third time he appealed to them: »Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him.«

wmth@Luke:23:23 @ But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.

wmth@Luke:23:31 @ For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?«

wmth@Luke:23:43 @ »I tell you in solemn truth,« replied Jesus, »that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise.«

wmth@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.

wmth@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

wmth@Luke:24:7 @ when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.«

wmth@Luke:24:13 @ On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,

wmth@Luke:24:18 @ Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, »Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?«

wmth@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.

wmth@Luke:24:23 @ and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

wmth@Luke:24:25 @ »O dull-witted men,« He replied, »with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

wmth@Luke:24:44 @ And He said to them, »This is what I told you while I was still with you–that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me.«

wmth@Luke:24:46 @ and He said, »Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead;

wmth@Luke:24:47 @ and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

wmth@Luke:24:49 @ And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.«

wmth@John:1:3 @ All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.

wmth@John:1:4 @ In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.

wmth@John:1:7 @ He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light–so that all might believe through him.

wmth@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

wmth@John:1:9 @ The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.

wmth@John:1:11 @ He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.

wmth@John:1:12 @ But all who have received Him, to them –that is, to those who trust in His name– He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;

wmth@John:1:14 @ And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory–the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

wmth@John:1:22 @ So they pressed the question. »Who are you?« they said– »that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?«

wmth@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, »Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!

wmth@John:1:31 @ I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water.«

wmth@John:1:34 @ »This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God.«

wmth@John:1:36 @ when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, »Look! that is the Lamb of God!«

wmth@John:1:39 @ »Come and you shall see,« He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.

wmth@John:1:41 @ He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, »We have found the Messiah!« –that is to say, the Anointed One.

wmth@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« –that is to say, Peter (or `Rock').

wmth@John:1:50 @ »Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'« replied Jesus, »do you believe? You shall see greater things than that.«

wmth@John:1:51 @ »I tell you all in most solemn truth,« He added, »that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man.«

wmth@John:2:10 @ and said to him, »It is usual to put on the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine till now.«

wmth@John:2:18 @ So the Jews asked Him, »What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?«

wmth@John:2:22 @ When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.

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

wmth@John:3:3 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« answered Jesus, »that unless a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@John:3:5 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

wmth@John:3:11 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony.

wmth@John:3:15 @ in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life of the Ages.«

wmth@John:3:16 @ For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.

wmth@John:3:17 @ For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

wmth@John:3:21 @ But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God.

wmth@John:3:32 @ What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.

wmth@John:3:33 @ Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.

wmth@John:4:1 @ Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, »Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John«–

wmth@John:4:5 @ and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

wmth@John:4:9 @ »How is it,« replied the woman, »that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?« (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

wmth@John:4:10 @ »If you had known God's free gift,« replied Jesus, »and who it is that said to you, `Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.«

wmth@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages.«

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

wmth@John:4:17 @ »I have no husband,« she replied. »You rightly say that you have no husband,« said Jesus;

wmth@John:4:18 @ »for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that.«

wmth@John:4:19 @ »Sir,« replied the woman, »I see that you are a Prophet.

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

wmth@John:4:25 @ »I know,« replied the woman, »that Messiah is coming–`the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything.«

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

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

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

wmth@John:4:39 @ Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, »He has told me all that I have ever done.«

wmth@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, »We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.«

wmth@John:4:44 @ though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.

wmth@John:4:45 @ When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.

wmth@John:4:47 @ Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

wmth@John:4:51 @ and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

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

wmth@John:4:54 @ This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.

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

wmth@John:5:10 @ That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, »It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat.«

wmth@John:5:12 @ »Who is it,« they asked, »that said to you, `Take up your mat and walk'?«

wmth@John:5:15 @ The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored him to health;

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

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

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

wmth@John:5:24 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.«

wmth@John:5:25 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming –nay, has already come– when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.«

wmth@John:5:30 @ »I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.«

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

wmth@John:5:34 @ But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.

wmth@John:5:35 @ He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.

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

wmth@John:5:39 @ »You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;«

wmth@John:5:40 @ and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.

wmth@John:5:42 @ but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.«

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

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

wmth@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias).

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

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

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

wmth@John:6:15 @ Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.

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

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

wmth@John:6:26 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that you are searching for me not because you have seen miracles, but because you ate the loaves and had a hearty meal.

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

wmth@John:6:28 @ »What are we to do,« they asked, »in order to carry out the things that God requires?«

wmth@John:6:29 @ »This,« replied Jesus, »is above all the thing that God requires–that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent.«

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

wmth@John:6:33 @ For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world.«

wmth@John:6:34 @ »Sir,« they said, »always give us that bread.«

wmth@John:6:39 @ And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.

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

wmth@John:6:47 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you that he who believes has the Life of the Ages.

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

wmth@John:6:53 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« said Jesus, »that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

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

wmth@John:6:61 @ But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,

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

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

wmth@John:6:69 @ And we have come to believe and know that are indeed the Holy One of God.«

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

wmth@John:7:7 @ It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.

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

wmth@John:7:24 @ Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just.«

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

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

wmth@John:7:42 @ Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?«

wmth@John:7:52 @ »Do you also come from Galilee?« they asked in reply. »Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin.«

wmth@John:8:6 @ They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.

wmth@John:8:17 @ In your own Law, too, it is written that

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

wmth@John:8:24 @ That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen.«

wmth@John:8:25 @ »You–who are you?« they asked. »How is it that I am speaking to you at all?« replied Jesus.

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

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

wmth@John:8:34 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.

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

wmth@John:8:40 @ But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

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

wmth@John:8:48 @ »Are we not right,« answered the Jews, »in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?«

wmth@John:8:51 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death.«

wmth@John:8:52 @ »Now,« exclaimed the Jews, »we know that you are possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, and yet say, `If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, he shall in no case ever taste death.'

wmth@John:8:58 @ »In most solemn truth,« answered Jesus, »I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am.«

wmth@John:9:2 @ So His disciples asked Him, »Rabbi, who sinned –this man or his parents– that he was born blind?«

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

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

wmth@John:9:18 @ The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him –that he had been blind and had obtained his sight– until they called his parents and asked them,

wmth@John:9:19 @ »Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?«

wmth@John:9:20 @ »We know,« replied the parents, »that this is our son and that he was born blind;

wmth@John:9:21 @ but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it.«

wmth@John:9:22 @ Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

wmth@John:9:23 @ That was why his parents said, »He is of full age: ask him himself.«

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

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

wmth@John:9:28 @ Then they railed at him, and said, »You are that man's disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

wmth@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens.

wmth@John:9:32 @ From the beginning of the world such a thing was never heard of as that any one should open the eyes of a man blind from his birth.

wmth@John:9:33 @ Had that man not come from God, he could have done nothing.«

wmth@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, »Do you believe in the Son of God?«

wmth@John:9:36 @ »Who is He, Sir?« replied the man. »Tell me, so that I may believe in Him.«

wmth@John:9:39 @ »I came into this world,« said Jesus, »to judge men, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind.«

wmth@John:9:41 @ »If you were blind,« answered Jesus, »you would have no sin; but as a matter of fact you boast that you see. So your sin remains!«

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

wmth@John:10:7 @ Again therefore Jesus said to them, »In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.

wmth@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@John:11:4 @ Jesus received the message and said, »This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it.«

wmth@John:11:6 @ When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.

wmth@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, He said to the disciples, »Let us return to Judaea.«

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

wmth@John:11:16 @ »Let us go also,« Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, »that we may die with him.«

wmth@John:11:17 @ On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.

wmth@John:11:22 @ And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you.«

wmth@John:11:24 @ »I know,« said Martha, »that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day.«

wmth@John:11:27 @ »Yes, Master,« she replied; »I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.«

wmth@John:11:29 @ So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.

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

wmth@John:11:40 @ »Did I not promise you,« replied Jesus, »that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?«

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

wmth@John:11:42 @ I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this–that they may believe that Thou didst send me.«

wmth@John:11:49 @ But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, »You know nothing about it.

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

wmth@John:11:51 @ It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,

wmth@John:11:53 @ So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.

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

wmth@John:11:55 @ The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

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

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

wmth@John:12:5 @ »Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?«

wmth@John:12:6 @ The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.

wmth@John:12:9 @ Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.

wmth@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

wmth@John:12:16 @ The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.

wmth@John:12:18 @ This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.

wmth@John:12:19 @ The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, »Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!«

wmth@John:12:24 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was–a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

wmth@John:12:29 @ The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, »An angel spoke to him.«

wmth@John:12:30 @ »It is not for my sake,« said Jesus, »that that voice came, but for your sakes.

wmth@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered Him, »We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?«

wmth@John:12:35 @ »Yet a little while,« He replied, »the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.

wmth@John:12:36 @ In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.« Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.

wmth@John:12:38 @ in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled,

wmth@John:12:43 @ For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.

wmth@John:12:46 @ I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.

wmth@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me.«

wmth@John:13:1 @ Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

wmth@John:13:3 @ although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,

wmth@John:13:11 @ For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, »You are not all of you clean.«

wmth@John:13:15 @ For I have set you an example in order that you may do what I have done to you.

wmth@John:13:16 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that a servant is not superior to his master, nor is a messenger superior to him who sent him.

wmth@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says,

wmth@John:13:19 @ From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.

wmth@John:13:20 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that he who receives whoever I send receives me, and that he who receives me receives Him who sent me.«

wmth@John:13:21 @ After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, »In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me.«

wmth@John:13:29 @ Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, »Buy what we require for the Festival,« or that he should give something to the poor.

wmth@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give you, to love one another; that as I have loved you, you also may love one another.

wmth@John:13:35 @ It is by this that every one will know that you are my disciples–if you love one another.«

wmth@John:13:38 @ »You say you will lay down your life on my behalf!« said Jesus; »in most solemn truth I tell you that the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me.«

wmth@John:14:3 @ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.

wmth@John:14:8 @ »Master,« said Philip, »cause us to see the Father: that is all we need.«

wmth@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.

wmth@John:14:11 @ Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.

wmth@John:14:12 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me–the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.

wmth@John:14:13 @ And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

wmth@John:14:17 @ That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you.

wmth@John:14:20 @ At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.

wmth@John:14:22 @ Judas (not the Iscariot) asked, »Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?«

wmth@John:14:26 @ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that I have said to you.

wmth@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.

wmth@John:14:29 @ I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.

wmth@John:14:31 @ but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going.«

wmth@John:15:2 @ Every branch in me–if it bears no fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

wmth@John:15:4 @ Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself –that is, if it does not continue in the vine– so neither can you if you do not continue in me.

wmth@John:15:11 @ »These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.«

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

wmth@John:15:16 @ It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.

wmth@John:15:18 @ If the world hates you, remember that it has first had me as the fixed object of its hatred.

wmth@John:15:19 @ If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world–for that reason the world hates you.

wmth@John:15:25 @ But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law,

wmth@John:16:4 @ But I have spoken these things to you in order that when the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you all this at first, because I was still with you.

wmth@John:16:7 @ »Yet it is the truth that I am telling you–it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.«

wmth@John:16:13 @ But when He has come –the Spirit of Truth– He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.

wmth@John:16:15 @ Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.

wmth@John:16:18 @ So they asked one another repeatedly, »What can that `little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words.«

wmth@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, »Is this what you are questioning one another about–my saying, `A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?

wmth@John:16:20 @ In most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.

wmth@John:16:23 @ You will put no questions to me then. »In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.

wmth@John:16:24 @ As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.

wmth@John:16:26 @ At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,

wmth@John:16:27 @ for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.

wmth@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you came from God.«

wmth@John:16:32 @ »Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.«

wmth@John:16:33 @ »I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: have won the victory over the world.«

wmth@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, »Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

wmth@John:17:2 @ even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages.

wmth@John:17:5 @ And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

wmth@John:17:7 @ Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

wmth@John:17:8 @ For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

wmth@John:17:10 @ and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.«

wmth@John:17:11 @ I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. »Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name –the name which Thou hast given me to bear– that they may be one, even as we are.

wmth@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name –the name Thou hast given me to bear– and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction–that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

wmth@John:17:13 @ »But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.«

wmth@John:17:15 @ I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

wmth@John:17:19 @ and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

wmth@John:17:20 @ »Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;«

wmth@John:17:21 @ that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

wmth@John:17:22 @ And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

wmth@John:17:23 @ I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

wmth@John:17:24 @ »Father, those whom Thou hast given me – I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory –my glory– my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

wmth@John:17:25 @ And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.

wmth@John:17:26 @ And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them.«

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

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

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

wmth@John:18:9 @ He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, »As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one.«

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

wmth@John:18:14 @ (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, »It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.«)

wmth@John:18:22 @ Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, »Is that the way you answer the High Priest?«

wmth@John:18:23 @ »If I have spoken wrongly,« replied Jesus, »bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?«

wmth@John:18:28 @ So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.

wmth@John:18:32 @ They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.

wmth@John:18:37 @ »So then are a king!« rejoined Pilate. »Yes,« said Jesus, »you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world–to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice.«

wmth@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?«

wmth@John:19:4 @ Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, »See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him.«

wmth@John:19:7 @ »We,« replied the Jews, »have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God.«

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

wmth@John:19:11 @ »You would have had no power whatever over me,« replied Jesus, »had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are.«

wmth@John:19:21 @ This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. »You should not write `The King of the Jews,'« they said, »but that he claimed to be King of the Jews.«

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

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

wmth@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now brought to an end, said–that the Scripture might be fulfilled, »I am thirsty.«

wmth@John:19:31 @ Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying men broken, and the bodies removed.

wmth@John:19:33 @ Then they came to Jesus Himself: but when they saw that He was already dead, they refrained from breaking His legs.

wmth@John:19:35 @ This statement is the testimony of an eye-witness, and it is true. He knows that he is telling the truth–in order that you also may believe.

wmth@John:19:36 @ For all this took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled which declares,

wmth@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.

wmth@John:20:9 @ For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, that He must rise again from among the dead.

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

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

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

wmth@John:20:31 @ But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have Life through His name.

wmth@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, »I am going fishing.«»We will go too,« said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.

wmth@John:21:4 @ When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

wmth@John:21:12 @ »Come this way and have breakfast,« said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.

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

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

wmth@John:21:17 @ A third time Jesus put the question:»Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?« It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, »Am I dear to you?«»Master,« he replied, »you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.«»Then feed my much-loved sheep,« said Jesus.

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

wmth@John:21:19 @ This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said to him, »Follow me.«

wmth@John:21:20 @ Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following–the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, »Master, who is it that is betraying you?«

wmth@John:21:22 @ »If I desire him to remain till I come,« replied Jesus, »what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me.«

wmth@John:21:23 @ Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, »He is not to die,« but, »If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?«

wmth@John:21:24 @ That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony is true.

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

wmth@Acts:1:1 @ My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,

wmth@Acts:1:15 @ It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren –the entire number of persons present being about 120– and said,

wmth@Acts:1:16 @ »Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled–the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.

wmth@Acts:1:19 @ This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means `The Field of Blood.')

wmth@Acts:1:21 @ »It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us–

wmth@Acts:2:16 @ But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:

wmth@Acts:2:17 @ And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams;

wmth@Acts:2:18 @ and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

wmth@Acts:2:20 @ The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord– that great and illustrious day;

wmth@Acts:2:29 @ »As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.«

wmth@Acts:2:30 @ Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,

wmth@Acts:2:31 @ with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay.

wmth@Acts:2:36 @ »Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST–this Jesus whom you crucified.«

wmth@Acts:2:41 @ Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;

wmth@Acts:2:42 @ and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.

wmth@Acts:3:15 @ The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.

wmth@Acts:3:16 @ It is His name – faith in that name being the condition– which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.

wmth@Acts:3:17 @ »And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.«

wmth@Acts:3:18 @ But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.

wmth@Acts:4:13 @ As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken –and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools– they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

wmth@Acts:4:16 @ »What are we to do with these men?« they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

wmth@Acts:4:21 @ The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.

wmth@Acts:4:23 @ After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that the High Priests and Elders had said.

wmth@Acts:4:24 @ And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, »O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them,

wmth@Acts:4:32 @ Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;

wmth@Acts:5:21 @ Having received that command they went into the Temple, just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel, they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.

wmth@Acts:5:28 @ »We strictly forbad you to teach in that name–did we not?« he said. »And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!«

wmth@Acts:5:34 @ But a Pharisee of the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, held in honour by all the people, rose from his seat and requested that they should be sent outside the court for a few minutes.

wmth@Acts:5:41 @ They, therefore, left the Sanhedrin and went their way, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace on behalf of the NAME.

wmth@Acts:27:25 @ »Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.

wmth@Acts:27:27 @ It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.

wmth@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.

wmth@Acts:27:33 @ And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. »This is the fourteenth day,« he said, »that you have been anxiously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing.

wmth@Acts:27:42 @ Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.

wmth@Acts:27:43 @ But their Captain, bent on securing Paul's safety, kept them from their purpose and gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;

wmth@Acts:27:44 @ and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. In this way they all got safely to land.

wmth@Acts:28:1 @ Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.

wmth@Acts:28:6 @ They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

wmth@Acts:28:8 @ It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.

wmth@Acts:28:19 @ But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.

wmth@Acts:28:20 @ For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me.«

wmth@Acts:28:22 @ But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against.«

wmth@Acts:28:28 @ »Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation –God's salvation– has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed.«

wmth@Romans:1:10 @ always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

wmth@Romans:1:11 @ For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

wmth@Romans:1:12 @ in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

wmth@Romans:1:13 @ And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you –though until now I have been disappointed– in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

wmth@Romans:1:15 @ so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

wmth@Romans:1:20 @ For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections –namely His eternal power and divine nature– have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse.

wmth@Romans:1:27 @ in just the same way –neglecting that for which nature intends women– burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

wmth@Romans:1:28 @ And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

wmth@Romans:2:2 @ and we know that God's judgement against those who commit such sins is in accordance with the truth.

wmth@Romans:2:3 @ And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs–do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges?

wmth@Romans:2:4 @ Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?

wmth@Romans:2:5 @ The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger–the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.

wmth@Romans:2:13 @ It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.

wmth@Romans:2:15 @ since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence–

wmth@Romans:2:18 @ and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ –being a man who receives instruction from the Law–

wmth@Romans:2:19 @ and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

wmth@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.

wmth@Romans:2:28 @ For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

wmth@Romans:3:6 @ No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)

wmth@Romans:3:8 @ And why should we not say –for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing– »Let us do evil that good may come«? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

wmth@Romans:3:19 @ But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.

wmth@Romans:3:26 @ with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.

wmth@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:3:30 @ unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith.

wmth@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?

wmth@Romans:4:11 @ Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised–in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit;

wmth@Romans:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.

wmth@Romans:4:16 @ All depends on faith, and for this reason–that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace,

wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,

wmth@Romans:4:18 @ Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words

wmth@Romans:4:21 @ and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.

wmth@Romans:5:2 @ through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.

wmth@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;

wmth@Romans:5:5 @ and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

wmth@Romans:5:7 @ Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

wmth@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.

wmth@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.

wmth@Romans:5:12 @ What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.

wmth@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.

wmth@Romans:5:20 @ Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;

wmth@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord.

wmth@Romans:6:1 @ To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

wmth@Romans:6:3 @ And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

wmth@Romans:6:4 @ Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.

wmth@Romans:6:6 @ This we know–that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;

wmth@Romans:6:8 @ But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

wmth@Romans:6:9 @ because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.

wmth@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?

wmth@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.

wmth@Romans:6:21 @ At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.

wmth@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result.

wmth@Romans:7:1 @ Brethren, do you not know –for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law– that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

wmth@Romans:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

wmth@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.

wmth@Romans:7:5 @ For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions – made sinful by the Law– were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.

wmth@Romans:7:6 @ But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

wmth@Romans:7:12 @ So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

wmth@Romans:7:13 @ Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.

wmth@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual–the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

wmth@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

wmth@Romans:7:17 @ and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.

wmth@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

wmth@Romans:7:19 @ For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.

wmth@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.

wmth@Romans:7:21 @ I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

wmth@Romans:7:24 @ (Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?

wmth@Romans:8:2 @ for the Spirit's Law – telling of Life in Christ Jesus– has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

wmth@Romans:8:3 @ For what was impossible to the Law –powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity– God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;

wmth@Romans:8:4 @ in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.

wmth@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

wmth@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;

wmth@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs too–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ's sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory.

wmth@Romans:8:21 @ Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.

wmth@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.

wmth@Romans:8:23 @ And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.

wmth@Romans:8:24 @ It is that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?

wmth@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,

wmth@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

wmth@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers;

wmth@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,

wmth@Romans:9:2 @ when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart.

wmth@Romans:9:6 @ Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,

wmth@Romans:9:10 @ Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac–

wmth@Romans:9:11 @ and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,

wmth@Romans:9:14 @ What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?

wmth@Romans:9:16 @ And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,

wmth@Romans:9:18 @ This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.

wmth@Romans:9:20 @ Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD?

wmth@Romans:9:30 @ To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it–a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

wmth@Romans:9:31 @ while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

wmth@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.

wmth@Romans:10:5 @ Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

wmth@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. »Say not in your heart,« it declares, »`Who shall ascend to Heaven?'« –that is, to bring Christ down;

wmth@Romans:10:7 @ »nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'« –that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.

wmth@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say?»The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;« that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith–

wmth@Romans:10:9 @ that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.

wmth@Romans:10:17 @ And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.

wmth@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.

wmth@Romans:11:7 @ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

wmth@Romans:11:13 @ But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,

wmth@Romans:11:18 @ beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.

wmth@Romans:11:20 @ This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.

wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.

wmth@Romans:11:24 @ and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?

wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;

wmth@Romans:11:31 @ so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.

wmth@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy.

wmth@Romans:12:2 @ And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

wmth@Romans:13:3 @ For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire –do you not?– to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.

wmth@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.

wmth@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

wmth@Romans:14:9 @ For this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life–namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

wmth@Romans:14:12 @ So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God.

wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

wmth@Romans:14:14 @ As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is `impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.

wmth@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.

wmth@Romans:15:4 @ For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.

wmth@Romans:15:5 @ And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,

wmth@Romans:15:6 @ so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:15:8 @ My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness –in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers–

wmth@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written,

wmth@Romans:15:13 @ May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him–so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Romans:15:14 @ But as to you, brethren, I am convinced –yes, I Paul am convinced– that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.

wmth@Romans:15:16 @ that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice –namely the Gentiles– may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy.

wmth@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,

wmth@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.

wmth@Romans:15:28 @ So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;

wmth@Romans:15:29 @ and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ.

wmth@Romans:15:31 @ asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,

wmth@Romans:15:32 @ in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.

wmth@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her as a fellow Christian in a manner worthy of God's people, and may assist her in any matter in which she may need help. For she has indeed been a kind friend to many, including myself.

wmth@Romans:16:5 @ Greetings, too, to the Church that meets at their house. Greetings to my dear Epaenetus, who was the earliest convert to Christ in the province of Asia;

wmth@Romans:16:10 @ Greetings to Apella, that veteran believer; and to the members of the household of Aristobulus.

wmth@Romans:16:18 @ For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony –all of you– and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says »I belong to Paul;« another »I belong to Apollos;« a third »I belong to Peter;« a fourth »I belong to Christ.«

wmth@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius–

wmth@1Corinthians:1:15 @ for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,

wmth@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought –things that have no existence– God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;

wmth@1Corinthians:1:31 @ in order that it may be as Scripture says,

wmth@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these we speak –not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches– adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:3 @ you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:12 @ And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw–

wmth@1Corinthians:3:13 @ the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work– the fire is the thing which will test it.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become »foolish« so that he may be wise.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:2 @ This being so, it follows that fidelity is what is required in stewards.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:3 @ I however am very little concerned at undergoing your scrutiny, or that of other men; in fact I do not even scrutinize myself.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:4 @ Though I am not conscious of having been in any way unfaithful, yet I do not for that reason stand acquitted; but He whose scrutiny I must undergo is the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:6 @ In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, »Nothing beyond what is written!« –so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:7 @ Why, who gives you your superiority, my brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? And if you really did receive it, why boast as if this were not so?

wmth@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Every one of you already has all that heart can desire; already you have grown rich; without waiting for us, you have ascended your thrones! Yes indeed, would to God that you had ascended your thrones, that we also might reign with you!

wmth@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For even if you were to have ten thousand spiritual instructors–for all that you could not have several fathers. It is I who in Christ Jesus became your father through the Good News.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:18 @ But some of you have been puffed up through getting the idea that I am not coming to Corinth.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and of a kind unheard of even among the Gentiles–a man has his father's wife!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his body, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:6 @ It is no good thing–this which you make the ground of your boasting. Do you not know that a little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough?

wmth@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be dough of a new kind; for in fact you free from corruption. For our Passover Lamb has already been offered in sacrifice–even Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in that letter that you were not to associate with fornicators;

wmth@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of »brother,« if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels–to say nothing of things belonging to this life?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,

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

wmth@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you–the Spirit whom you have from God?

wmth@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:7 @ Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God–one in one direction and one in another.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to those already married my instructions are –yet not mine, but the Lord's– that a wife is not to leave her husband;

wmth@1Corinthians:7:11 @ or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only, whatever be the condition in life which the Lord has assigned to each individual –and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him– in that let him continue.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Whatever be the condition in life in which a man was, when he was called, in that let him continue.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you a slave when God called you? Let not that weigh on your mind. And yet if you can get your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened–so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,

wmth@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business –that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world– how she shall please her husband.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who gives his daughter in marriage does well, and yet he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgement, her state is a more enviable one if she remains as she is; and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now as to things which have been sacrificed to idols. This is a subject which we already understand–because we all have knowledge of it. Knowledge, however, tends to make people conceited; it is love that builds us up.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one imagines that he already possesses any true knowledge, he has as yet attained to no knowledge of the kind to which he ought to have attained;

wmth@1Corinthians:8:3 @ but if any one loves God, that man is known by God.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:4 @ As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:8 @ It is true that a particular kind of food will not bring us into God's presence; we are neither inferior to others if we abstain from it, nor superior to them if we eat it.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an Apostle? Can it be denied that I have seen Jesus, our Lord? Are not you yourselves my work in the Lord?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:3 @ That is how I vindicate myself to those who criticize me.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is God simply thinking about the oxen? Or is it really in our interest that He speaks? Of course, it was written in our interest, because it is His will that when a plough-man ploughs, and a thresher threshes, it should be in the hope of sharing that which comes as the result.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If it is we who sowed the spiritual grain in you, is it a great thing that we should reap a temporal harvest from you?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If other teachers possess that right over you, do not we possess it much more? Yet we have not availed ourselves of the right, but we patiently endure all things rather than hinder in the least degree the progress of the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who perform the sacred rites have their food from the sacred place, and that those who serve at the altar all alike share with the altar?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I, for my part, have not used, and do not use, my full rights in any of these things. Nor do I now write with that object so far as I myself am concerned, for I would rather die than have anybody make this boast of mine an empty one.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:16 @ If I go on preaching the Good News, that is nothing for me to boast of; for the necessity is imposed upon me; and alas for me, if I fail to preach it!

wmth@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I have become weak, so as to gain the weak. To all men I have become all things, in the hope that in every one of these ways I may save some.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I do everything for the sake of the Good News, that I may share with my hearers in its benefits.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that in the foot-race the runners all run, but that only one gets the prize? You must run like him, in order to win with certainty.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:25 @ But every competitor in an athletic contest practices abstemiousness in all directions. They indeed do this for the sake of securing a perishable wreath, but we for the sake of securing one that will not perish.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:26 @ That is how I run, not being in any doubt as to my goal. I am a boxer who does not inflict blows on the air,

wmth@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them–and that rock was the Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:19 @ Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?

wmth@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;

wmth@1Corinthians:10:33 @ That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,

wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:18 @ for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,

wmth@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. »This cup,« He said, »is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me.«

wmth@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death–until He returns.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:1 @ It is important, brethren, that you should have clear knowledge on the subject of spiritual gifts.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathens you went astray after dumb idols, wherever you happened to be led.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:3 @ For this reason I would have you understand that no one speaking under the influence of The Spirit of God ever says, »Jesus is accursed,« and that no one is able to say, »Jesus is Lord,« except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:15 @ Were the foot to say, »Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:16 @ Or were the ear to say, »Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:24 @ But it was God who built up the body, and bestowed more abundant honor on the part that felt the need,

wmth@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I should be right glad were you all to speak in `tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in `tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:22 @ This shows that the gift of tongues is intended as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but prophecy is intended not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:25 @ and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one deems himself to be a Prophet or a man with spiritual gifts, let him recognize as the Lord's command all that I am now writing to you.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures;

wmth@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

wmth@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?

wmth@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:15 @ Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:18 @ It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death;

wmth@1Corinthians:15:27 @ for He will have put all things in subjection under His feet. And when He shall have declared that »All things are in subjection,« it will be with the manifest exception of Him who has reduced them all to subjection to Him.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you –which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord– that I die day by day.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:37 @ and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit,

wmth@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:46 @ Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:48 @ What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done from motives of love.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:17 @ It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:4 @ He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,

wmth@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For the reason for our boasting is this–the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:15 @ It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere –so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour–

wmth@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ the Son of God –He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself– did not show Himself a waverer between »Yes« and »No.« But it was and always is »Yes« with Him.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith –we do, however, desire to help your joy– for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I write this to you in order that when I come I may not receive pain from those who ought to give me joy, confident as I am as to all of you that my joy is the joy of you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:7 @ So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

wmth@2Corinthians:3:3 @ For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God–and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:5 @ not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If, however, the service that proclaims death –its code being engraved in writing upon stones– came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily on the face of Moses because of the brightness of his face–a vanishing brightness;

wmth@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:14 @ For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:4 @ Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:5 @ And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:6 @ We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

wmth@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this–that One having died for all, His death was their death,

wmth@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:19 @ We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:21 @ He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to imply blame, for, as I have already said, you have such a place in our hearts that we would die with you or live with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:7 @ but also by the fact that he had felt comforted on your account, and by the report which he brought of your eager affection, of your grief, and of your jealousy on my behalf, so that I rejoiced more than ever.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I gave you pain by that letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it then. I see that that letter, even though for a time it gave you pain, had a salutary effect.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not to punish the offender, nor to secure justice for him who had suffered the wrong, but it was chiefly in order that your earnest feeling on our behalf might become manifest to yourselves in the sight of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice that I have absolute confidence in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I can testify that to the utmost of their power, and even beyond their power, they have of their own free will given help.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:6 @ This led us to urge Titus that, as he had previously been the one who commenced the work, so he should now go and complete among you this act of beneficence also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Yes, just as you are already very rich in faith, readiness of speech, knowledge, unwearied zeal, and in the love that is in you, implanted by us, see to it that this grace of liberal giving also flourishes in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ–how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:10 @ But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:11 @ And now complete the doing also, in order that, just as there was then the eagerness in desiring, there may now be the accomplishment in proportion to your means.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not urge you to give in order that others may have relief while you are unduly pressed,

wmth@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that, by equalization of burdens, your superfluity having in the present emergency supplied their deficiency, their superfluity may in turn be a supply for your deficiency later on, so that there may be equalization of burdens.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God that He inspires the heart of Titus with the same deep interest in you;

wmth@2Corinthians:8:19 @ And more than that, he is the one who was chosen by the vote of the Churches to travel with us, sharing our commission in the administration of this generous gift to promote the Lord's glory and gratify our own strong desire.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, remember that he is a partner with me, and is my comrade in my labours for you. And as for our brethren, remember that they are delegates from the Churches, and are men in whom Christ is glorified.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your earnest willingness, on account of which I habitually boast of you to the Macedonians, pointing out to them that for a whole year you in Greece have been ready; and the greater number of them have been spurred on by your ardour.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Still I send the brethren in order that in this matter our boast about you may not turn out to have been an idle one; so that, as I have said, you may be ready;

wmth@2Corinthians:9:4 @ for fear that, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we –not to say you yourselves– should be put to the blush in respect to this confidence.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I have thought it absolutely necessary therefore to request these brethren to visit you before I myself come, and to make sure beforehand that the gift of love which you have already promised may be ready as a gift of love, and may not seem to have been something which I have extorted from you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But do not forget that he who sows with a niggardly hand will also reap a niggardly crop, and that he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to bestow every blessing on you in abundance, so that richly enjoying all sufficiency at all times, you may have ample means for all good works.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my `courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For we overthrow arrogant `reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery–into subjection to Christ;

wmth@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:8 @ If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you –still keeping within our own sphere– promotion to a larger field of labour,

wmth@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:4 @ If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!

wmth@2Corinthians:11:6 @ And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?

wmth@2Corinthians:11:10 @ Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:11 @ And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:16 @ To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily–my anxiety for all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ –He who is blessed throughout the Ages– knows that I am speaking the truth.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man– whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs that characterize the true Apostle have been done among you, accompanied by unwearied fortitude, and by tokens and marvels and displays of power.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:13 @ In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

wmth@2Corinthians:12:16 @ If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!

wmth@2Corinthians:12:19 @ You are imagining, all this time, that we are making our defense at your bar. In reality it is as in God's presence and in communion with Christ that we speak; but, dear friends, it is all with a view to your progress in goodness.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and that upon re-visiting you I may be humbled by my God in your presence, and may have to mourn over many whose hearts still cling to their old sins, and who have not repented of the impurity, fornication, and gross sensuality, of which they have been guilty.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips–He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?

wmth@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:7 @ And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

wmth@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.

wmth@Galatians:1:8 @ But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.

wmth@Galatians:1:9 @ What I have just said I repeat–if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

wmth@Galatians:1:10 @ For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.

wmth@Galatians:1:11 @ For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.

wmth@Galatians:1:12 @ For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.

wmth@Galatians:1:16 @ saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,

wmth@Galatians:2:5 @ But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; in order that the Good News might continue with you in its integrity.

wmth@Galatians:2:7 @ Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews–

wmth@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

wmth@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they urged that we should remember their poor–a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.

wmth@Galatians:2:13 @ And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.

wmth@Galatians:2:14 @ As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, »If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

wmth@Galatians:2:16 @ know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:2:18 @ Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;

wmth@Galatians:2:19 @ for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.

wmth@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

wmth@Galatians:3:2 @ Answer me this one question, »Is it on the ground of your obedience to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, when you heard, you believed?«

wmth@Galatians:3:7 @ Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true sons of Abraham.

wmth@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying,

wmth@Galatians:3:9 @ So we see that it is those who possess faith that are blessed with believing Abraham.

wmth@Galatians:3:11 @ It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because

wmth@Galatians:3:12 @ and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that

wmth@Galatians:3:14 @ Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit.

wmth@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later–so as to annul the promise.

wmth@Galatians:3:22 @ But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe.

wmth@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

wmth@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

wmth@Galatians:4:5 @ in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.

wmth@Galatians:4:11 @ I am alarmed about you, and am afraid that I have perhaps bestowed labour upon you to no purpose.

wmth@Galatians:4:13 @ And you know that in those early days it was on account of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you,

wmth@Galatians:4:15 @ I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.

wmth@Galatians:4:16 @ Can it be that I have become your enemy through speaking the truth to you?

wmth@Galatians:4:17 @ These men pay court to you, but not with honourable motives. They want to exclude you, so that you may pay court to them.

wmth@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

wmth@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.

wmth@Galatians:4:23 @ But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment of the promise.

wmth@Galatians:4:29 @ Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.

wmth@Galatians:5:2 @ Remember that it is I Paul who tell you that if you receive circumcision Christ will avail you nothing.

wmth@Galatians:5:3 @ I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.

wmth@Galatians:5:10 @ For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man –be he who he may– who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him.

wmth@Galatians:5:11 @ As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block!

wmth@Galatians:5:12 @ Would to God that those who are unsettling your faith would even mutilate themselves.

wmth@Galatians:5:17 @ For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined.

wmth@Galatians:5:21 @ hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

wmth@Galatians:6:8 @ He who sows in the field of his lower nature, will from that nature reap destruction; but he who sows to serve the Spirit will from the Spirit reap the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Galatians:6:13 @ For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in bodies.

wmth@Galatians:6:14 @ But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

wmth@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.

wmth@Ephesians:1:7 @ It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance –the forgiveness of our offences– so abundant was God's grace,

wmth@Ephesians:1:12 @ so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes–we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:1:14 @ that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption–the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.

wmth@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:2:2 @ which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience–to you God has given Life.

wmth@Ephesians:2:5 @ caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–

wmth@Ephesians:2:7 @ in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.

wmth@Ephesians:2:8 @ For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit–

wmth@Ephesians:2:9 @ so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.

wmth@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised–their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.

wmth@Ephesians:2:12 @ At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.

wmth@Ephesians:2:18 @ because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.

wmth@Ephesians:3:2 @ if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,

wmth@Ephesians:3:3 @ and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.

wmth@Ephesians:3:4 @ By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ

wmth@Ephesians:3:6 @ I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

wmth@Ephesians:3:10 @ concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.

wmth@Ephesians:3:17 @ I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,

wmth@Ephesians:3:19 @ yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.

wmth@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts–

wmth@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received–

wmth@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this »re-ascended« –what does it mean but that He had first descended into the lower regions of the earth?

wmth@Ephesians:4:24 @ with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.

wmth@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who has been a thief must steal no more, but, instead of that, should work with his own hands in honest industry, so that he may have something of which he can give the needy a share.

wmth@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.

wmth@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber –or in other words idol-worshipper– has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

wmth@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.

wmth@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;

wmth@Ephesians:5:27 @ that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.

wmth@Ephesians:5:32 @ That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.

wmth@Ephesians:5:33 @ Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.

wmth@Ephesians:6:8 @ You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

wmth@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.

wmth@Ephesians:6:12 @ For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood, but with the despotisms, the empires, the forces that control and govern this dark world–the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare.

wmth@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field.

wmth@Ephesians:6:19 @ and ask on my behalf that words may be given to me so that, outspoken and fearless, I may make known the truths (hitherto kept secret) of the Good News–

wmth@Ephesians:6:20 @ to spread which I am an ambassador in chains–so that when telling them I may speak out boldly as I ought.

wmth@Ephesians:6:21 @ But in order that you also may know how I am doing, Tychicus our dearly-loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's service will tell you everything.

wmth@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for the very purpose–that you may know about us and that he may encourage you.

wmth@Philippians:1:6 @ For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:9 @ And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,

wmth@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ,

wmth@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.

wmth@Philippians:1:13 @ And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;

wmth@Philippians:1:16 @ These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News;

wmth@Philippians:1:17 @ while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.

wmth@Philippians:1:18 @ What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached–either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

wmth@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

wmth@Philippians:1:20 @ in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.

wmth@Philippians:1:22 @ But since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies more labour for me–and not unsuccessful labour; and which I am to choose I cannot tell.

wmth@Philippians:1:23 @ I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far better.

wmth@Philippians:1:24 @ But for your sakes it is more important that I should still remain in the body.

wmth@Philippians:1:25 @ I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;

wmth@Philippians:1:26 @ so that, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.

wmth@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:1:30 @ maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.

wmth@Philippians:2:9 @ It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other,

wmth@Philippians:2:10 @ in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld,

wmth@Philippians:2:11 @ and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

wmth@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless–irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly lights in the world,

wmth@Philippians:2:16 @ holding out to them a Message of Life. It will then be my glory on the day of Christ that I did not run my race in vain nor toil in vain.

wmth@Philippians:2:19 @ But, if the Lord permits it, I hope before long to send Timothy to you, that I, in turn, may be cheered by getting news of you.

wmth@Philippians:2:23 @ So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me;

wmth@Philippians:2:24 @ but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

wmth@Philippians:2:27 @ For it is true that he has been ill, and was apparently at the point of death; but God had pity on him, and not only on him, but also on me, to save me from having sorrow upon sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:28 @ I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have the less sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:30 @ because it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring to make good any deficiency that there might be in your gifts to me.

wmth@Philippians:3:7 @ Yet all that was gain to me–for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.

wmth@Philippians:3:8 @ Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,

wmth@Philippians:3:9 @ not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ–the righteousness which comes from God through faith.

wmth@Philippians:3:11 @ in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.

wmth@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

wmth@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do–forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,

wmth@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.

wmth@Philippians:3:16 @ But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.

wmth@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you.

wmth@Philippians:4:15 @ And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;

wmth@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.

wmth@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything –and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me– they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.

wmth@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

wmth@Colossians:1:10 @ so that your lives may be worthy of the Lord and perfectly pleasing to Him, while you exhibit the results of right action of every sort and grow into a fuller knowledge of God.

wmth@Colossians:1:18 @ Moreover He is the Head of His Body, the Church. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, in order that He Himself may in all things occupy the foremost place.

wmth@Colossians:1:19 @ For it was the Father's gracious will that the whole of the divine perfections should dwell in Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:23 @ if, indeed, you are still firmly holding to faith as your foundation, without ever shifting from your hope that rests on the Good News that you have heard, which has been proclaimed in the whole creation under Heaven, and in which I Paul have been appointed to serve.

wmth@Colossians:1:25 @ I have been appointed to serve the Church in the position of responsibility entrusted to me by God for your benefit, so that I may fully deliver God's Message–

wmth@Colossians:1:27 @ to whom it was His will to make known how vast a wealth of glory for the Gentile world is implied in this truth–the truth that `Christ is in you, the hope of glory.'

wmth@Colossians:1:28 @ Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God's presence, made perfect through Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:2 @ in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.

wmth@Colossians:2:9 @ For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete,

wmth@Colossians:2:17 @ These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle this;« »Do not taste that;«»Do not touch that other thing« –

wmth@Colossians:3:1 @ If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.

wmth@Colossians:3:2 @ Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth.

wmth@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

wmth@Colossians:3:6 @ It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming,

wmth@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin –angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse– so that these may never soil your lips.

wmth@Colossians:3:11 @ In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.

wmth@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

wmth@Colossians:3:20 @ Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.

wmth@Colossians:3:24 @ For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

wmth@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven.

wmth@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.

wmth@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer.

wmth@Colossians:4:8 @ And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts.

wmth@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm–Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will.

wmth@Colossians:4:15 @ Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing as we do, brethren, that you are beloved by God and that He has chosen you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ The Good News that we brought you did not come to you in words only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, for you know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern to all the believers throughout Macedonia and Greece.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves, brethren, know that our visit to you did not fail of its purpose.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Seeing that we were thus drawn affectionately towards you, it would have been a joy to us to have imparted to you not only God's Good News, but to have given our very lives also, because you had become very dear to us.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as –what it really is– God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts of you who believe.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of your countrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy our brother and God's minister in the service of Christ's Good News, that he might help you spiritually and encourage you in your faith;

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you–

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while night and day, with intense earnestness, we pray that we may see your faces, and may bring to perfection whatever may be still lacking in your faith?

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is God's will–your purity of life, that you abstain from fornication;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each man among you shall know how to procure a wife who shall be his own in purity and honour;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ that you be not overmastered by lustful cravings, like the Gentiles who have no knowledge of God;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that in this matter there be no encroaching on the rights of a brother Christian and no overreaching him. For the Lord is an avenger in all such cases, as we have already taught you and solemnly warned you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, we also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who shall have passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you on the Lord's own authority–that we who are alive and continue on earth until the Coming of the Lord, shall certainly not forestall those who shall have previously passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to times and dates it is unnecessary that anything be written to you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died on our behalf, so that whether we are awake or are sleeping we may share His Life.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ It so increases that we ourselves make honourable mention of you among the Churches of God because of your patience and faith amid all your persecutions and amid the afflictions which you are enduring.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes on that day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who have believed, including you–because you believed the testimony which we brought for your acceptance.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ It is with this view also that we continually pray to our God for you, asking that He will count you worthy of His call, and by His mighty power fully gratify your every desire for what is truly good and make your work of faith complete;

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and that you may be glorified in Him–so wonderful is the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ!

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled –either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us– through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ and exalts himself above, every so-called `god' or object of worship, and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he himself is God.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ To persons of that sort our injunction –and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ– is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him–so that he may be made to feel ashamed.

wmth@1Timothy:1:3 @ When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching

wmth@1Timothy:1:8 @ Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,

wmth@1Timothy:1:9 @ and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane–for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,

wmth@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.

wmth@1Timothy:1:16 @ But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1Timothy:1:18 @ This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,

wmth@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

wmth@1Timothy:2:1 @ I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;

wmth@1Timothy:2:2 @ including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.

wmth@1Timothy:3:7 @ It is needful also that he bear a good character with people outside the Church, lest he fall into reproach or a snare of the Devil.

wmth@1Timothy:3:15 @ But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.

wmth@1Timothy:3:16 @ And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion– that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received up again into glory.

wmth@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons;

wmth@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.

wmth@1Timothy:4:15 @ Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them; so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all.

wmth@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.

wmth@1Timothy:5:7 @ Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach.

wmth@1Timothy:5:13 @ And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of.

wmth@1Timothy:5:16 @ If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened–so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.

wmth@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest.

wmth@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.

wmth@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against.

wmth@1Timothy:6:3 @ So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions –those of our Lord Jesus Christ– and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,

wmth@1Timothy:6:5 @ and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain.

wmth@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Timothy:6:17 @ Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches –that unstable foundation– but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment.

wmth@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.

wmth@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience –as my forefathers did– that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,

wmth@2Timothy:1:4 @ being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.

wmth@2Timothy:1:12 @ That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.

wmth@2Timothy:1:14 @ That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.

wmth@2Timothy:1:15 @ Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.

wmth@2Timothy:1:18 @ (The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.

wmth@2Timothy:2:1 @ You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

wmth@2Timothy:2:2 @ All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

wmth@2Timothy:2:4 @ Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming entangled in the world's business–so that he may satisfy the officer who enlisted him.

wmth@2Timothy:2:8 @ Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.

wmth@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation –even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus– and with it eternal glory.

wmth@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.

wmth@2Timothy:2:18 @ In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.

wmth@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing –as you do– that these lead to quarrels;

wmth@2Timothy:2:25 @ He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth

wmth@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

wmth@2Timothy:3:15 @ and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise to obtain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

wmth@2Timothy:3:17 @ so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:4:8 @ From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.

wmth@2Timothy:4:17 @ The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion's jaws.

wmth@Titus:1:5 @ I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do;

wmth@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents.

wmth@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many that spurn authority–idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.

wmth@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,

wmth@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.

wmth@Titus:2:5 @ industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.

wmth@Titus:2:8 @ and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.

wmth@Titus:3:1 @ Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

wmth@Titus:3:7 @ in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes.

wmth@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

wmth@Titus:3:11 @ for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

wmth@Titus:3:13 @ Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

wmth@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

wmth@Philemon:1:6 @ praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:9 @ it is for love's sake that –instead of that– although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,

wmth@Philemon:1:14 @ Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one.

wmth@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps it was for this reason he was parted from you for a time, that you might receive him back wholly and for ever yours;

wmth@Philemon:1:19 @ I Paul write this with my own hand–I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.)

wmth@Philemon:1:21 @ I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say.

wmth@Philemon:1:22 @ And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you.

wmth@Hebrews:1:10 @ It is also of His Son that God says,

wmth@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all angels spirits that serve Him–whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?

wmth@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall escape if we are indifferent to a salvation as great as that now offered to us? This, after having first of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made sure to us by those who heard Him,

wmth@Hebrews:2:5 @ It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty of that coming world, of which we speak.

wmth@Hebrews:2:9 @ But Jesus –who was made a little inferior to the angels in order that through God's grace He might taste death for every human being– we already see wearing a crown of glory and honour because of His having suffered death.

wmth@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that He for whom, and through whom, all things exist, after He had brought many sons to glory, should perfect by suffering the Prince Leader who had saved them.

wmth@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children referred to are all alike sharers in perishable human nature, He Himself also, in the same way, took on Him a share of it, in order that through death He might render powerless him who had authority over death, that is, the Devil,

wmth@Hebrews:2:16 @ For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.

wmth@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.

wmth@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.

wmth@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'

wmth@Hebrews:3:12 @ see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you –as perhaps there may be– a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.

wmth@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.

wmth@Hebrews:3:15 @ seeing that the warning still comes to us,

wmth@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

wmth@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?

wmth@Hebrews:3:19 @ And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.

wmth@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

wmth@Hebrews:4:9 @ It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

wmth@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let it then be our earnest endeavour to be admitted to that rest, so that no one may perish through following the same example of unbelief.

wmth@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

wmth@Hebrews:5:11 @ Concerning Him we have much to say, and much that it would be difficult to make clear to you, since you have become so dull of apprehension.

wmth@Hebrews:5:14 @ Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults–that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.

wmth@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.

wmth@Hebrews:6:12 @ so that you may not become half-hearted, but be imitators of those who through faith and patient endurance are now heirs to the promises.

wmth@Hebrews:6:18 @ He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement–we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us.

wmth@Hebrews:6:19 @ That hope we have as an anchor of the soul–an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,

wmth@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all–being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

wmth@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:7:8 @ Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.

wmth@Hebrews:7:13 @ He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.

wmth@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

wmth@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,

wmth@Hebrews:7:25 @ Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.

wmth@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,

wmth@Hebrews:8:6 @ But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises.

wmth@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, there would have been no attempt to introduce another.

wmth@Hebrews:9:8 @ And the lesson which the Holy Spirit teaches is this–that the way into the true Holy place is not yet open so long as the outer tent still remains in existence.

wmth@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands –that is to say does not belong to this material creation–

wmth@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.

wmth@Hebrews:9:18 @ Accordingly we find that the first Covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

wmth@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed we may almost say that in obedience to the Law everything is sprinkled with blood, and that apart from the outpouring of blood there is no remission of sins.

wmth@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices.

wmth@Hebrews:9:26 @ In that case Christ would have needed to suffer many times, from the creation of the world onwards; but as a matter of fact He has appeared once for all, at the Close of the Ages, in order to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

wmth@Hebrews:9:28 @ so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, to make their salvation complete.

wmth@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers –who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all– would no longer be burdened with sins?

wmth@Hebrews:10:5 @ That is why, when He comes into the world, He says,

wmth@Hebrews:10:10 @ It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.

wmth@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a footstool under His feet.

wmth@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil –that is to say, of His earthly nature–

wmth@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?

wmth@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know who it is that has said, and again,

wmth@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.

wmth@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.

wmth@Hebrews:11:3 @ Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is visible.

wmth@Hebrews:11:4 @ Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks.

wmth@Hebrews:11:5 @ Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God.

wmth@Hebrews:11:6 @ But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.

wmth@Hebrews:11:14 @ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.

wmth@Hebrews:11:16 @ but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:19 @ For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.

wmth@Hebrews:11:28 @ Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.

wmth@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them–that they might secure a better resurrection.

wmth@Hebrews:11:40 @ for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.

wmth@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,

wmth@Hebrews:12:7 @ The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

wmth@Hebrews:12:8 @ And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.

wmth@Hebrews:12:10 @ It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.

wmth@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint

wmth@Hebrews:12:14 @ but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord.

wmth@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.

wmth@Hebrews:12:19 @ a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added.

wmth@Hebrews:12:21 @ and so terrible was the scene that Moses said,

wmth@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel.

wmth@Hebrews:12:27 @ Here the words »Yet again, once for all« denote the removal of the things which can be shaken –created things– in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

wmth@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

wmth@Hebrews:13:6 @ So that we fearlessly say,

wmth@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.

wmth@Hebrews:13:16 @ And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.

wmth@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:18 @ Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.

wmth@Hebrews:13:19 @ I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more speedily restored to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:21 @ fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Hebrews:13:22 @ Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:23 @ You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.

wmth@James:1:3 @ Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance.

wmth@James:1:4 @ Only let endurance have perfect results so that you may become perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.

wmth@James:1:7 @ A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord–

wmth@James:1:11 @ The sun rises with his scorching heat and dries up the herbage, so that its flowers drop off and the beauty of its appearance perishes, and in the same way rich men with all their prosperity will fade away.

wmth@James:1:14 @ But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry him away and serve as a bait.

wmth@James:1:18 @ In accordance with His will He made us His children through the Message of the truth, so that we might, in a sense, be the Firstfruits of the things which He has created.

wmth@James:1:21 @ Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile and of the evil influences which prevail around you, welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.

wmth@James:1:26 @ If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.

wmth@James:2:4 @ is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts?

wmth@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?

wmth@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed,« and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?

wmth@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: evil spirits also believe this, and shudder.«

wmth@James:2:20 @ But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.

wmth@James:2:21 @ Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar?

wmth@James:2:22 @ You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected;

wmth@James:2:24 @ You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.

wmth@James:3:1 @ Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.

wmth@James:3:2 @ For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.

wmth@James:3:3 @ Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round.

wmth@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire. That world of iniquity, the tongue, is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself set on fire by Gehenna.

wmth@James:3:15 @ That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits.

wmth@James:4:4 @ You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.

wmth@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, »The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us«?

wmth@James:4:13 @ Come, you who say, »To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business,«

wmth@James:4:15 @ Instead of that you ought to say, »If it is the Lord's will, we shall live and do this or that.«

wmth@James:4:16 @ But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil.

wmth@James:5:4 @ I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops –pay which you are keeping back– is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.

wmth@James:5:9 @ Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door.

wmth@James:5:11 @ Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him–how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.

wmth@James:5:12 @ But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your `yes' be simply `yes,' and your `no' be simply `no;' that you may not come under condemnation.

wmth@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

wmth@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.

wmth@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil over a multitude of sins.

wmth@1Peter:1:5 @ whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.

wmth@1Peter:1:7 @ The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith –being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire– may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:1:10 @ There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it–even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.

wmth@1Peter:1:11 @ They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.

wmth@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.

wmth@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,

wmth@1Peter:1:21 @ are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.

wmth@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.

wmth@1Peter:1:25 @ And that means the Message which has been proclaimed among you in the Good News.

wmth@1Peter:2:2 @ Thirst, like newly-born infants, for pure milk for the soul, that by it you may grow up to salvation;

wmth@1Peter:2:5 @ And be yourselves also like living stones that are being built up into a spiritual house, to become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:2:7 @ To you believers, therefore, that honour belongs; but for unbelievers–

wmth@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of kingly lineage, a holy nation, a people belonging specially to God, that you may make known the perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

wmth@1Peter:2:12 @ Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.

wmth@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing what is right you should thus silence the ignorant talk of foolish persons.

wmth@1Peter:2:21 @ And it is to this you were called; because Christ also suffered on your behalf, leaving you an example so that you should follow in His steps.

wmth@1Peter:2:24 @ The burden of our sins He Himself carried in His own body to the Cross and bore it there, so that we, having died so far as our sins are concerned, may live righteous lives. By His wounds yours have been healed.

wmth@1Peter:3:1 @ Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life–

wmth@1Peter:3:4 @ Instead of that, it should be a new nature within–the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God.

wmth@1Peter:3:7 @ Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

wmth@1Peter:3:13 @ And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?

wmth@1Peter:3:16 @ Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.

wmth@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;

wmth@1Peter:3:19 @ in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison,

wmth@1Peter:3:21 @ And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you –not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God– through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

wmth@1Peter:4:2 @ that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.

wmth@1Peter:4:4 @ At this they are astonished–that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.

wmth@1Peter:4:6 @ For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.

wmth@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.

wmth@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen.

wmth@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test–as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.

wmth@1Peter:4:13 @ On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.

wmth@1Peter:4:14 @ You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory – even the Spirit of God– is resting upon you.

wmth@1Peter:4:16 @ If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.

wmth@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.

wmth@1Peter:5:9 @ Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences.

wmth@1Peter:5:12 @ I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother –for such I regard him– in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

wmth@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:3 @ seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.

wmth@2Peter:1:4 @ It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.

wmth@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.

wmth@2Peter:1:10 @ For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.

wmth@2Peter:1:14 @ For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.

wmth@2Peter:1:20 @ But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;

wmth@2Peter:2:8 @ (For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man–all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)

wmth@2Peter:2:22 @ Their case is that described in the true proverb, and also in the other proverb, »The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth.«

wmth@2Peter:3:2 @ so that you may recall the words spoken long ago by the holy Prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and Saviour given you through your Apostles.

wmth@2Peter:3:3 @ But, above all, remember that, in the last days, men will come who make a mock at everything–men governed only by their own passions,

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:6 @ and that, by means of these, the then existing race of men was overwhelmed with water and perished.

wmth@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow in fulfilling His promise, in the sense in which some men speak of slowness. But He bears patiently with you, His desire being that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance.

wmth@2Peter:3:16 @ That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

wmth@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life–

wmth@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

wmth@1John:1:4 @ And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.

wmth@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

wmth@1John:1:10 @ If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.

wmth@1John:2:1 @ Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ the righteous;

wmth@1John:2:3 @ And by this we may know that we know Him–if we obey His commands.

wmth@1John:2:5 @ But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

wmth@1John:2:7 @ My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

wmth@1John:2:18 @ Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

wmth@1John:2:19 @ They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

wmth@1John:2:21 @ I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

wmth@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.

wmth@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

wmth@1John:2:28 @ And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.

wmth@1John:2:29 @ Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.

wmth@1John:3:1 @ See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.

wmth@1John:3:2 @ Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

wmth@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

wmth@1John:3:11 @ For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning–that we are to love one another.

wmth@1John:3:14 @ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

wmth@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

wmth@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him–how can such a one continue to love God?

wmth@1John:3:19 @ And in this way we shall come to know that we are loyal to the truth, and shall satisfy our consciences in His presence

wmth@1John:3:23 @ And this is His command–that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.

wmth@1John:3:24 @ The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.

wmth@1John:4:2 @ The test by which you may recognize the Spirit of God is that every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come as man is from God,

wmth@1John:4:3 @ and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world.

wmth@1John:4:5 @ They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.

wmth@1John:4:9 @ God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

wmth@1John:4:13 @ We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given us a portion of His Spirit.

wmth@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

wmth@1John:4:15 @ Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God–God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.

wmth@1John:4:20 @ If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

wmth@1John:4:21 @ And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.

wmth@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.

wmth@1John:5:2 @ The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.

wmth@1John:5:5 @ Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?

wmth@1John:5:7 @ For there are three that give testimony– the Spirit, the water, and the blood;

wmth@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.

wmth@1John:5:11 @ And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son.

wmth@1John:5:13 @ I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1John:5:14 @ And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.

wmth@1John:5:15 @ And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.

wmth@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life–for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

wmth@1John:5:18 @ We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.

wmth@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.

wmth@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One–that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages.

wmth@2John:1:6 @ The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.

wmth@2John:1:8 @ Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.

wmth@2John:1:9 @ No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.

wmth@2John:1:12 @ I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.

wmth@3John:1:2 @ My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers.

wmth@3John:1:3 @ For it is an intense joy to me when brethren come and bear witness to your fidelity to the truth–that you live in obedience to the truth.

wmth@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living in obedience to the truth.

wmth@3John:1:7 @ For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

wmth@3John:1:8 @ It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth.

wmth@3John:1:12 @ The character of Demetrius has the approval of all men, and of the truth itself. We also express our approval of it, and you know that we only give our approval to that which is true.

wmth@Jude:1:5 @ I desire to remind you –although the whole matter is already familiar to you– that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who had no faith.

wmth@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!

wmth@Jude:1:12 @ These men –sunken rocks!– are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;

wmth@Jude:1:14 @ It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,

wmth@Jude:1:17 @ But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ–

wmth@Revelation:1:1 @ The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.

wmth@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,

wmth@Revelation:2:2 @ I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars.

wmth@Revelation:2:4 @ Yet I have this against you–that you no longer love Me as you did at first.

wmth@Revelation:2:9 @ Your sufferings I know, and your poverty –but you are rich– and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are Satan's synagogue.

wmth@Revelation:2:10 @ Dismiss your fears concerning all that you are about to suffer. I tell you that the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be put to the test, and for ten days you will have to endure persecution. Be faithful to the End, even if you have to die, and then I will give you the victor's Wreath of Life.

wmth@Revelation:2:14 @ Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel–to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.

wmth@Revelation:2:15 @ So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

wmth@Revelation:2:19 @ I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first.

wmth@Revelation:2:20 @ Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.

wmth@Revelation:2:22 @ I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.

wmth@Revelation:2:23 @ Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.

wmth@Revelation:2:24 @ But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the »deep things,« as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) –to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.

wmth@Revelation:2:25 @ Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.

wmth@Revelation:2:27 @ And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;«

wmth@Revelation:3:9 @ I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars–I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.

wmth@Revelation:3:10 @ Because in spite of suffering you have guarded My word, I in turn will guard you from that hour of trial which is soon coming upon the whole world, to put to the test the inhabitants of the earth.

wmth@Revelation:3:11 @ I am coming quickly: cling to that which you already possess, so that your wreath of victory be not taken away from you.

wmth@Revelation:3:15 @ I know your doings–you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot!

wmth@Revelation:3:17 @ You say, I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing; and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is – pitiable, poor, blind, naked.

wmth@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see.

wmth@Revelation:4:1 @ After all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, »Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future.«

wmth@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature resembled a lion, the second an ox, the third had a face like that of a man, and the fourth resembled an eagle flying.

wmth@Revelation:4:11 @ saying, »It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created.«

wmth@Revelation:5:9 @ And now they sing a new song. »It is fitting,« they say, »that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice, And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out of every tribe and language and people and nation,

wmth@Revelation:5:12 @ and in loud voices they were singing, »It is fitting that the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.«

wmth@Revelation:5:13 @ And as for every created thing in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and everything that was in any of these, I heard them say, »To Him who is seated on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be ascribed all blessing and honor And glory and might, Until the Ages of the Ages!«

wmth@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day of His anger –that great day– has come, and who is able to stand?«

wmth@Revelation:7:1 @ After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, and holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow over the earth or the sea or upon any tree.

wmth@Revelation:7:10 @ In loud voices they were exclaiming, »It is to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, that we owe our salvation!«

wmth@Revelation:8:3 @ And another angel came and stood close to the altar, carrying a censer of gold; and abundance of incense was given to him that he might place it with the prayers of all God's people upon the golden altar which was in front of the throne.

wmth@Revelation:8:9 @ And a third part of the creatures that were in the sea –those that had life– died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed.

wmth@Revelation:8:12 @ Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet; and a curse fell upon a third part of the sun, a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them were darkened and for a third of the day, and also of the night, there was no light.

wmth@Revelation:9:2 @ and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit.

wmth@Revelation:9:5 @ Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man.

wmth@Revelation:9:6 @ And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them.

wmth@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.

wmth@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.

wmth@Revelation:9:15 @ And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty, so that they might kill a third part of mankind.

wmth@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it is with them that they inflict injury.

wmth@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.

wmth@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted his right hand toward Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:10:6 @ And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it, of the earth and all that is in it, and of the sea and all that is in it, he solemnly declared,

wmth@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power given to them to seal up the sky, so that no rain may fall so long as they continue to prophesy; and power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with various plagues whenever they choose to do so.

wmth@Revelation:11:13 @ And just as that time there was a great earthquake, and a tenth part of the city was overthrown. 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:12:12 @ For this reason be glad, O Heaven, and you who live in Heaven! Alas for the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you; full of fierce anger, because he knows that his appointed time is short.«

wmth@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child.

wmth@Revelation:12:15 @ And the serpent poured water from his mouth –a very river it seemed– after the woman, in the hope that she would be carried away by its flood.

wmth@Revelation:13:2 @ The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.

wmth@Revelation:13:3 @ I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.

wmth@Revelation:13:4 @ And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, »Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?«

wmth@Revelation:13:6 @ And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place–that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:13:12 @ And the authority of the first Wild Beast –the whole of that authority– he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

wmth@Revelation:13:15 @ And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.

wmth@Revelation:13:17 @ in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark–either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.

wmth@Revelation:14:2 @ And I heard music from Heaven which resembled the sound of many waters and the roar of loud thunder; and the music which I heard was like that of harpists playing upon their harps.

wmth@Revelation:14:3 @ And they were singing what seemed to be a new song, in front of the throne and in the presence of the four living creatures and the Elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the 144,000 people who had been redeemed out of the world.

wmth@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not be afraid, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and shall worship Thee, because the righteousness of all that Thou hast done has been made manifest.«

wmth@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl into that great river, the Euphrates; and its stream was dried up in order to clear the way for the kings who are to come from the east.

wmth@Revelation:16:14 @ For they are the spirits of demons working marvels–spirits that go out to control the kings of the whole earth, to assemble them for the battle which is to take place on the great day of God, the Ruler of all.

wmth@Revelation:16:21 @ And heavy hail, that seemed to be a talent in weight, fell from the sky upon the people; and they spoke evil of God on account of the plague of the hail–because the plague of it was exceedingly severe.

wmth@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.

wmth@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you have seen –and the Wild Beast– these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

wmth@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from Heaven, which said, »Come out of her, My people, that you may not become partakers in her sins, nor receive a share of her plagues.

wmth@Revelation:18:6 @ Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.

wmth@Revelation:18:14 @ The dainties that thy soul longed for are gone from thee, and all thine elegance and splendor have perished, and never again shall they be found.

wmth@Revelation:18:21 @ Then a single angel of great strength took a stone which resembled a huge millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, »So shall Babylon, that great city, be violently hurled down and never again be found.

wmth@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he exclaimed, »Oh, do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of yours and a fellow bondservant of your brethren who have borne testimony to Jesus. Worship God.« Testimony to Jesus is the spirit which underlies Prophecy.

wmth@Revelation:19:17 @ And I saw a single angel standing in the full light of the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds that flew across the sky, »Come and be present at God's great supper,

wmth@Revelation:19:18 @ that you may feast on the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, on the flesh of horses and their riders, and on the flesh of all mankind, whether they are free men or slaves, great men or small.«

wmth@Revelation:19:20 @ who had done the miracles in his presence with which he had led astray those who had received the mark of the Wild Beast, and those who worshipped his statue. Both of them were thrown alive into the Lake of fire that was all ablaze with sulphur.

wmth@Revelation:19:21 @ But the rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the Rider on the horse. And the birds all fed ravenously upon their flesh.

wmth@Revelation:20:3 @ He closed the entrance and put a seal upon him in order that he might be unable to lead the nations astray any more until the thousand years were at an end. Afterwards he is to be set at liberty for a short time.

wmth@Revelation:20:4 @ And I saw thrones, and some who were seated on them, to whom judgment was entrusted. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded on account of the testimony that they had borne to Jesus and on account of God's Message, and also the souls of those who had not worshipped the Wild Beast or his statue, nor received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands; and they came to Life and were kings with Christ for a thousand years.

wmth@Revelation:21:11 @ and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone–such as a jasper, bright and transparent.

wmth@Revelation:21:17 @ And he measured the wall of it–a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.

wmth@Revelation:22:3 @ »In future there will be no curse,« he said, »but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in that city. And His servants will render Him holy service and will see His face,

wmth@Revelation:22:9 @ But he said to me, »Oh, do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of yours, and a fellow bondservant of your brethren the Prophets and of those who are mindful of the teachings of this book. Worship God.«

wmth@Revelation:22:12 @ »I am coming quickly; and My reward is with Me, that I may requite every man in accordance with what his conduct has been.

wmth@Revelation:22:14 @ Blessed are those who wash their robes clean, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life, and may go through the gates into the city.

wmth@Revelation:22:18 @ »I solemnly declare to every one who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book, that if any one adds to those words, God will add to him the plagues spoken of in this book;«

wmth@Revelation:22:19 @ and that if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the holy city–the things described in this book.
