wmth@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:1:21 @ She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins.«

wmth@Matthew:2:8 @ He then directed them to go to Bethlehem, adding, »Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and do him homage.«

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

wmth@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he exclaimed, `O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

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

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

wmth@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed am baptizing you in water on a profession of repentance; but He who is coming after me is mightier than I: His sandals I am not worthy to carry for a moment; He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

wmth@Matthew:3:14 @ John protested. »It is I,« he said, »who have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?«

wmth@Matthew:4:3 @ So the Tempter came and said, »If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves.«

wmth@Matthew:4:6 @ and said, »If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written,

wmth@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to Him, »All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage.«

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

wmth@Matthew:5:11 @ »Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.

wmth@Matthew:5:12 @ Be joyful and triumphant, because your reward is great in the Heavens; for so were the Prophets before you persecuted.«

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

wmth@Matthew:5:18 @ Solemnly I tell you that until Heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or smallest detail will pass away from the Law until all has taken place.

wmth@Matthew:5:20 @ For I assure you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will certainly not find entrance into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:21 @ »You have heard that it was said to the ancients, and whoever commits murder will be answerable to the magistrate.«

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:5:25 @ Come to terms without delay with your opponent while you are yet with him on the way to the court; for fear he should obtain judgement from the magistrate against you, and the magistrate should give you in custody to the officer and you be thrown into prison.

wmth@Matthew:5:26 @ I solemnly tell you that you will certainly not be released till you have paid the very last farthing.

wmth@Matthew:5:27 @ »You have heard that it was said, «

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:5:33 @ »Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, «

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

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

wmth@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your language be, `Yes, yes,' or `No, no.' Anything in excess of this comes from the Evil one.

wmth@Matthew:5:38 @ »You have heard that it was said, «

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

wmth@Matthew:5:40 @ If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.

wmth@Matthew:5:41 @ And whoever shall compel you to convey his goods one mile, go with him two.

wmth@Matthew:5:43 @ »You have heard that it was said, and hate thine enemy.'«

wmth@Matthew:5:44 @ But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors;

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

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

wmth@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

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

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

wmth@Matthew:6:2 @ `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.

wmth@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,

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

wmth@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:6:16 @ »When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:17 @ But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:6:22 @ »The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eyesight is good, your whole body will be well lighted;«

wmth@Matthew:6:23 @ but if your eyesight is bad, your whole body will be dark. If however the very light within you is darkness, how dense must the darkness be!

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

wmth@Matthew:6:25 @ For this reason I charge you not to be over-anxious about your lives, inquiring what you are to eat or what you are to drink, nor yet about your bodies, inquiring what clothes you are to put on. Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?

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

wmth@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by being over-anxious can add a single foot to his height?

wmth@Matthew:6:29 @ and yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his magnificence could array himself like one of these.

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

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

wmth@Matthew:6:33 @ But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.

wmth@Matthew:7:1 @ »Judge not, that you may not be judged;«

wmth@Matthew:7:2 @ for your own judgement will be dealt –and your own measure meted– to yourselves.

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:7:7 @ »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:7:20 @ So by their fruits at any rate, you will easily recognize them.

wmth@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will tell them plainly, »`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'

wmth@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet, said, »Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me.«

wmth@Matthew:8:4 @ and Jesus said to him, »Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them.«

wmth@Matthew:8:8 @ »Sir,« replied the Captain, »I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.

wmth@Matthew:8:10 @ Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, »I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.

wmth@Matthew:8:11 @ And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,

wmth@Matthew:8:13 @ And Jesus said to the Captain, »Go, and just as you have believed, so be it for you.« And the servant recovered precisely at that time.

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:9:5 @ Why, which is easier? –to say, `Your sins are pardoned,' or to say `Rise up and walk'?

wmth@Matthew:9:6 @ But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He then says to the paralytic, »Rise, and take up your bed and go home.«

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

wmth@Matthew:9:14 @ At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?«

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

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

wmth@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. »Do you believe that I can do this?« He asked them. »Yes, Sir,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:9:29 @ So He touched their eyes and said, »According to your faith let it be to you.«

wmth@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach and say, `The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'

wmth@Matthew:10:8 @ Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.

wmth@Matthew:10:9 @ »Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;«

wmth@Matthew:10:10 @ no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.

wmth@Matthew:10:11 @ »Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.«

wmth@Matthew:10:12 @ When you enter the house, salute it;

wmth@Matthew:10:13 @ and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.

wmth@Matthew:10:14 @ And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.

wmth@Matthew:10:15 @ I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.

wmth@Matthew:10:16 @ »Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.«

wmth@Matthew:10:17 @ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;

wmth@Matthew:10:18 @ and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.

wmth@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;

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

wmth@Matthew:10:22 @ And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End–he will be saved.

wmth@Matthew:10:23 @ Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

wmth@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.

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

wmth@Matthew:10:30 @ But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.

wmth@Matthew:10:31 @ Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.

wmth@Matthew:10:39 @ To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.

wmth@Matthew:10:40 @ »Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.«

wmth@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward.«

wmth@Matthew:11:3 @ »Are you the Coming One, or is it a different person that we are to expect?«

wmth@Matthew:11:4 @ »Go and report to John what you see and hear,« replied Jesus;«

wmth@Matthew:11:7 @ When the messengers had taken their leave, Jesus proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, »What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?

wmth@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Those who wear luxurious clothes are to be found in kings' palaces.

wmth@Matthew:11:9 @ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

wmth@Matthew:11:11 @ »I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens is greater than he.«

wmth@Matthew:11:14 @ And (if you are willing to receive it) he is the Elijah who was to come.

wmth@Matthew:11:17 @ »`We have played the flute to you,' they say, `and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not beaten your breasts.'«

wmth@Matthew:11:21 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin!« He cried. »Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.

wmth@Matthew:11:22 @ Only I tell you that it will be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of Judgement than for you.

wmth@Matthew:11:24 @ Only I tell you all, that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of Judgement than for thee.«

wmth@Matthew:11:28 @ »Come to me, all you toiling and burdened ones, and will give you rest.

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

wmth@Matthew:12:2 @ But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, »Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath.«

wmth@Matthew:12:3 @ »Have you never read,« He replied, »what David did when he and his men were hungry?

wmth@Matthew:12:5 @ And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?

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

wmth@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you knew what this means,, you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:12:28 @ But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

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

wmth@Matthew:12:34 @ O vipers' brood, how can you speak what is good when you are evil? For it is from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks.

wmth@Matthew:12:36 @ But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.

wmth@Matthew:12:37 @ For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned.«

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

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

wmth@Matthew:13:10 @ (And His disciples came and asked Him, »Why do you speak to them in figurative language?«

wmth@Matthew:13:11 @ »Because,« He replied, »while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.

wmth@Matthew:13:16 @ »But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.«

wmth@Matthew:13:17 @ For I solemnly tell you that many Prophets and holy men have longed to see the sights you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the words you hear, and have not heard them.

wmth@Matthew:13:18 @ »To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.«

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

wmth@Matthew:13:29 @ »`No,' he replied, `for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.

wmth@Matthew:13:51 @ »Have you understood all this?« He asked. »Yes,« they said.

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

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

wmth@Matthew:14:16 @ »They need not go away,« replied Jesus; »you yourselves must give them something to eat.«

wmth@Matthew:14:28 @ »Master,« answered Peter, »if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water.«

wmth@Matthew:14:31 @ Instantly Jesus stretched out His hand and caught hold of him, saying to him, »O little faith, why did you doubt?«

wmth@Matthew:14:33 @ and the men on board fell down before him and said, »You are indeed God's Son.«

wmth@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?«

wmth@Matthew:15:3 @ »Why do you, too,« He retorted, »transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?

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

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

wmth@Matthew:15:7 @ Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,

wmth@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, »Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?«

wmth@Matthew:15:16 @ »Are even you,« He answered, »still without intellingence?

wmth@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?

wmth@Matthew:15:28 @ »O woman,« replied Jesus, »great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire.« And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.

wmth@Matthew:15:34 @ »How many loaves have you?« Jesus asked. »Seven,« they said, »and a few small fish.«

wmth@Matthew:16:2 @ He replied, »In the evening you say, `It will be fine weather, for the sky is red;'

wmth@Matthew:16:3 @ and in the morning, `It will be rough weather to-day, for the sky is red and murky.' You learn how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of the times you cannot.

wmth@Matthew:16:8 @ Jesus perceived this and said, »Why are you reasoning among yourselves, you men of little faith, because you have no bread?

wmth@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,

wmth@Matthew:16:10 @ nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried away?

wmth@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

wmth@Matthew:16:15 @ »But you, who do you say that I am?« He asked again.

wmth@Matthew:16:16 @ »You,« replied Simon Peter, »are the Christ, the Son of the ever-living God.«

wmth@Matthew:16:17 @ »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah,« said Jesus; »for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:16:18 @ And I declare to you that you are Peter, and that upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the might of Hades shall not triumph over it.

wmth@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. »Master,« he said, »God forbid; this will not be your lot.«

wmth@Matthew:16:23 @ But He turned and said to Peter, »Get behind me, Adversary; you are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's.«

wmth@Matthew:16:28 @ I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:17:4 @ Then Peter said to Jesus, »Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«

wmth@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them, and said, »Rouse yourselves and have no fear.«

wmth@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. »Tell no one,« He said, »of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Matthew:17:12 @ But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way.«

wmth@Matthew:17:16 @ I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him.«

wmth@Matthew:17:17 @ »O unbelieving and perverse generation!« replied Jesus; »how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.«

wmth@Matthew:17:20 @ »Because your faith is so small,« He replied; »for I solemnly declare to you that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, `Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

wmth@Matthew:17:24 @ After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, »Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?«

wmth@Mark:1:44 @ and saying, »Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them.«

wmth@Mark:2:5 @ Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, »My son, your sins are pardoned.«

wmth@Mark:2:8 @ At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, »Why do you thus argue in your minds?

wmth@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier?–to say to this paralytic, `Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, `Rise, take up your mat, and walk?'

wmth@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He turned to the paralytic, and said,

wmth@Mark:2:11 @ »To you I say, `Rise, take up your mat and go home.'«

wmth@Mark:2:18 @ (Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, »How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?«

wmth@Mark:4:24 @ He also said to them, »Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest.

wmth@Mark:4:40 @ »Why are you so timid?« He asked; »have you still no faith?«

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

wmth@Mark:5:19 @ But He would not allow it. »Go home to your family,« He said, »and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you.«

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

wmth@Mark:6:38 @ »How many loaves have you?« He inquired; »go and see.« So they found out, and said, »Five; and a couple of fish.«

wmth@Mark:7:5 @ So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him:»Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?«

wmth@Mark:7:6 @ »Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites,« He replied; »as it is written,«

wmth@Mark:7:8 @ »You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions.«

wmth@Mark:7:9 @ »Praiseworthy indeed!« He added, »to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions!

wmth@Mark:7:13 @ thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do.«

wmth@Mark:7:14 @ Then Jesus called the people to Him again. »Listen to me, all of you,« He said, »and understand.

wmth@Mark:8:5 @ »How many loaves have you?« He asked. »Seven,« they said.

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

wmth@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, »What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

wmth@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions? »Twelve,« they said.

wmth@Mark:8:20 @ »And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?« »Seven,« they answered.

wmth@Mark:8:21 @ »Do you not yet understand?« He said.

wmth@Mark:8:23 @ So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, »Can you see anything?«

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:8:33 @ But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. »Get behind me, Adversary,« He said, »for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's.«

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:9:13 @ 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:9:16 @ »What is the subject you are discussing?« He asked them.

wmth@Mark:9:17 @ »Rabbi,« answered one of the crowd, »I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;

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

wmth@Mark:9:19 @ »O unbelieving generation!« replied Jesus; »how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me.«

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:9:22 @ »and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us.«

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:9:33 @ So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, »What were you arguing about on the way?«

wmth@Mark:9:36 @ And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,

wmth@Mark:9:37 @ »Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me.«

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

wmth@Mark:10:5 @ »It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts,« said Jesus, »that Moses enacted this law for you;

wmth@Mark:10:13 @ One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

wmth@Mark:10:15 @ In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it.«

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

wmth@Mark:10:19 @ You know the Commandments–

wmth@Mark:10:20 @ »Rabbi,« he replied, »all these Commandments I have carefully obeyed from my youth.«

wmth@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus looked at him and loved him, and said, »One thing is lacking in you: go, sell all you possess and give the proceeds to the poor, and you shall have riches in Heaven; and come and be a follower of mine.«

wmth@Mark:10:28 @ »Remember,« said Peter to Him, »that we forsook everything and have become your followers.«

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

wmth@Mark:10:36 @ »What would you have me do for you?« He asked.

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

wmth@Mark:10:38 @ »You know not,« said He, »what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?«

wmth@Mark:10:39 @ »We are able,« they replied. »Out of the cup,« said Jesus, »from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized;

wmth@Mark:10:42 @ Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, »You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority;

wmth@Mark:10:44 @ and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all.

wmth@Mark:10:49 @ Then Jesus stood still. »Call him,« He said. So they called the blind man. »Cheer up,« they said; »rise, he is calling you.«

wmth@Mark:10:51 @ »What shall I do for you?« said Jesus. »Rabboni,« replied the blind man, »let me recover my sight.«

wmth@Mark:10:52 @ »Go,« said Jesus, »your faith has cured you.« Instantly he regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.

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

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

wmth@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,

wmth@Mark:11:5 @ when some of the bystanders called out, »What are you doing, untying the foal?«

wmth@Mark:11:17 @ And He remonstrated with them. »Is it not written,« He said, But you have made it what it now is–

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

wmth@Mark:11:23 @ In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, `Remove, and hurl thyself into the sea,' and has no doubt about it in his heart, but stedfastly believes that what he says will happen, it shall be granted him.

wmth@Mark:11:24 @ That is why I tell you, as to whatever you pray and make request for, if you believe that you have received it it shall be yours.

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

wmth@Mark:11:28 @ and asked, »By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?«

wmth@Mark:11:29 @ »And I will put a question to you,« replied Jesus; »answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

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

wmth@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.«»Nor do I tell you,« said Jesus, »by what authority I do these things.«

wmth@Mark:12:10 @ »Have you not read even this passage,« He added,

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@Mark:12:24 @ »Is not this the cause of your error,« replied Jesus– your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?

wmth@Mark:12:26 @ But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him,

wmth@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error.«

wmth@Mark:12:32 @ So the Scribe said to Him, »Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that

wmth@Mark:12:34 @ Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, »You are not far from the Kingdom of God.« No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.

wmth@Mark:12:38 @ Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, »Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,

wmth@Mark:13:5 @ So Jesus began to say to them: »Take care that no one misleads you.

wmth@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.

wmth@Mark:13:9 @ »You yourselves must be on your guard. They will deliver you up to Sanhedrins; you will be brought into synagogues and cruelly beaten; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to be witnesses to them for me.«

wmth@Mark:13:28 @ »Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.«

wmth@Mark:13:29 @ So also do you, when you see these things happening, be sure that He is near, at your very door.

wmth@Mark:13:30 @ I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.

wmth@Mark:13:33 @ Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen.

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

wmth@Mark:13:36 @ Beware lest He should arrive unexpectedly and find you asleep.

wmth@Mark:13:37 @ Moreover, what I say to you I say to all–Be wakeful!«

wmth@Mark:14:64 @ You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?« Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.

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

wmth@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, »You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene.«

wmth@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, and said, »I don't know –I don't understand– What do you mean?« And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.

wmth@Mark:14:70 @ A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, »You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean.«

wmth@Mark:14:71 @ But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, »I know nothing of the man you are talking about.«

wmth@Mark:14:72 @ No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, »Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me.« And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.

wmth@Mark:15:4 @ Pilate again and again asked Him, »Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you.«

wmth@Mark:15:9 @ »Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?« answered Pilate.

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:2:17 @ And since you claim the name of Jew, and find rest and satisfaction in the Law, and make your boast in God,

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:2:20 @ a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:

wmth@Romans:2:21 @ you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief?

wmth@Romans:2:22 @ You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples?

wmth@Romans:2:23 @ You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God?

wmth@Romans:2:24 @ -For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you,- as Holy Writ declares.

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:2:27 @ although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?

wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.

wmth@Romans: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: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:6:11 @ In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Romans:6:12 @ Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;

wmth@Romans:6:13 @ and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.

wmth@Romans:6:14 @ For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.

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:6:18 @ You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness–

wmth@Romans:6:19 @ your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures–and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.

wmth@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.

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:7:4 @ 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:8:9 @ You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.

wmth@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.

wmth@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

wmth@Romans:8:13 @ For if you so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, you will live.

wmth@Romans:8:15 @ You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Romans:9:1 @ I am telling you the truth as a Christian man –it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine–

wmth@Romans:9:19 @ »Why then does God still find fault?« you will ask; »for who is resisting His will?«

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

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:10:8 @ 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:11:2 @ God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah–how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

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:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,

wmth@Romans:11:18 @ 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:11:19 @ »Branches have been lopped off,« you will say, »for the sake of my being grafted in.«

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:11:21 @ Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather–for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

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

wmth@Romans:11:24 @ 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:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.

wmth@Romans:11:30 @ but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,

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

wmth@Romans:12:1 @ I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.

wmth@Romans:12:2 @ 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:12:3 @ For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.

wmth@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.

wmth@Romans:12:14 @ Invoke blessings on your persecutors–blessings, not curses.

wmth@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.

wmth@Romans:12:18 @ If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world.

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:13:4 @ For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant–an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.

wmth@Romans:13:6 @ Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.

wmth@Romans:13:11 @ 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:13:14 @ On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings.

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:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

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

wmth@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.

wmth@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

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

wmth@Romans:14:22 @ As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction.

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

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

wmth@Romans:15:7 @ Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

wmth@Romans:15:13 @ 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:15:15 @ But I write to you the more boldly –partly as reminding you of what you already know– because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,

wmth@Romans:15:22 @ And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.

wmth@Romans:15:23 @ But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,

wmth@Romans:15:24 @ I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.

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:15:30 @ But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

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:15:33 @ May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.

wmth@Romans:16:1 @ Herewith I introduce our sister Phoebe to you, who is a servant of the Church at Cenchreae,

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:16:6 @ to Mary who has laboured strenuously among you;

wmth@Romans:16:16 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ send greetings to you.

wmth@Romans:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

wmth@Romans:16:19 @ Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

wmth@Romans:16:20 @ And before long, God the giver of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

wmth@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings, and so do my countrymen Lucius, Jason and Sosipater.

wmth@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who write this letter, send you Christian greetings.

wmth@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host, who is also the host of the whole Church, greets you. So do Erastus, the treasurer of the city, and Quartus our brother.

wmth@Romans:16:25 @ To Him who has it in His power to make you strong, as declared in the Good News which I am spreading, and the proclamation concerning Jesus Christ, in harmony with the unveiling of the Truth which in the periods of past Ages remained unuttered,

wmth@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus–

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

wmth@1Corinthians:1:6 @ Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,

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:1:13 @ Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:14 @ 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:1:20 @ Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But you –and it is all God's doing– are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

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:2:2 @ For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings–mere babes in Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:

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:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:9 @ Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are field– building.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are.

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:3:22 @ For everything belongs to you –be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future– everything belongs to you;

wmth@1Corinthians:3:23 @ and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

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:4:6 @ 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:4:10 @ We, for Christ's sake, are labeled as »foolish«; you, as Christians, are men of shrewd intelligence. We are mere weaklings: you are strong. You are in high repute: we are outcasts.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing all this to shame you, but I am offering you advice as my dearly-loved children.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I entreat you therefore to become like me.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you. Spiritually he is my dearly-loved and faithful child. He will remind you of my habits as a Christian teacher–the manner in which I teach everywhere in every Church.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But, if the Lord is willing, I shall come to you without delay; and then I shall know not the fine speeches of these conceited people, but their power.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which shall it be? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in a loving and tender spirit?

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:5:2 @ And you, instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this deed of shame, are filled with self-complacency!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:3 @ I for my part, present with you in spirit although absent in body, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has so acted.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are all assembled and my spirit is with you, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

wmth@1Corinthians:5:6 @ 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:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church

wmth@1Corinthians:5:13 @ while you leave to God's judgement those who are outside? Remove the wicked man from among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:1 @ If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?

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:6:4 @ If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church–is it whom you make your judges?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:6:7 @ 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:6:8 @ On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.

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:6:11 @ And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.

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:6:19 @ 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:6:20 @ And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:1 @ I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:5 @ 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:7:14 @ For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become –and is– holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

wmth@1Corinthians:7:21 @ 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:7:23 @ You have all been redeemed at infinite cost: do not become slaves to men.

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:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to get free. Are you free from the marriage bond? Do not seek for a wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:28 @ Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.

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:7:32 @ And I would have you free from worldly anxiety. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's business–how he shall please the Lord;

wmth@1Corinthians:7:35 @ Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If, however, a father thinks he is acting unbecomingly towards his still unmarried daughter if she be past the bloom of her youth, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin; she and her suitor should be allowed to marry.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But take care lest this liberty of yours should prove a hindrance to the progress of weak believers.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one were to see you, who know the real truth of this matter, reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience (supposing him to be a weak believer) be emboldened to eat the food which has been sacrificed to the idol?

wmth@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer–your brother, for whom Christ died!

wmth@1Corinthians:8:12 @ Moreover when you thus sin against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, you are, in reality, sinning against Christ.

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:9:2 @ If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:11 @ 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:9:24 @ 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:10:1 @ For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written,

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:10:15 @ I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of what I say.

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:10:21 @ You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions for conscience' sake.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, »This food has been offered in sacrifice;« abstain from eating it–out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:29 @ But now I mean his conscience, not your own. »Why, on what ground,« you may object, »is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?

wmth@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.

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:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?

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:11:17 @ But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise–your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.

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

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

wmth@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;

wmth@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise 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:11:24 @ and after giving thanks He broke it and said, »This is my body which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me.«

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

wmth@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:12:1 @ 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:12:21 @ It is also impossible for the eye to say to the hand, »I do not need you;« or again for the head to say to the feet, »I do not need you.«

wmth@1Corinthians:12:27 @ As for you, you are the body of Christ, and individually you are members of it.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

wmth@1Corinthians: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:14:6 @ But, brethren, as things are, if I come to you speaking in `tongues,' what benefit shall I confer on you, if the utterance is neither in the form of a revelation nor of additional knowledge nor of prophecy nor of teaching?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so with you; if with the living voice you fail to utter intelligible words, how will people know what you are saying? You will be talking to the winds.

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:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:17 @ Rightly enough you are giving thanks, and yet your neighbor is not benefited.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you;

wmth@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years.

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:14:26 @ What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:31 @ 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:15:1 @ But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing,

wmth@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it–unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first.

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:15:11 @ 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:15:17 @ and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing–you are still in your sins.

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:15:33 @ Do not deceive yourselves:»Evil companionships corrupt good morals.«

wmth@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies;

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:15:50 @ But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

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

wmth@1Corinthians:16:1 @ As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.

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:16:3 @ And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;

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:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

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:16:11 @ Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:16:15 @ And I beseech you, brethren –you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people–

wmth@1Corinthians:16:16 @ I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.

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@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:20 @ The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:7 @ 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:1:11 @ 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:1:13 @ For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;

wmth@2Corinthians:1:14 @ just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

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:1:16 @ and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now »Yes« and now »No.«

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:1:21 @ But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,

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:2:1 @ But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?

wmth@2Corinthians:2:3 @ 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:2:4 @ For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:5 @ Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree –for I have no wish to exaggerate– to all of you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:6 @ In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:2:8 @ I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For in writing to you I have also this object in view–to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:10 @ When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

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:3:2 @ Our letter of recommendation is yourselves–a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read.

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:4:5 @ (For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)

wmth@2Corinthians:4:12 @ Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.

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:5:11 @ 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:5:13 @ For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:1 @ And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians, our lips are unsealed to you: our heart is expanded.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:12 @ There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:13 @ And in just requital –I speak as to my children– let your hearts expand also.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:3 @ 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:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you: very loudly do I boast of you. I am filled with comfort: my heart overflows with joy amid all our affliction.

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:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not in your grief, but because the grief led to repentance; for you sorrowed with a godly sorrow, which prevented you from receiving injury from us in any respect.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For mark the effects of this very thing –your having sorrowed with a godly sorrow– what earnestness it has called forth in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what meting out of justice! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.

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:7:13 @ For this reason we feel comforted; and –in addition to this our comfort– we have been filled with all the deeper joy at Titus's joy, because his spirit has been set at rest by you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For however I may have boasted to him about you, I have no reason to feel ashamed; but as we have in all respects spoken the truth to you, so also our boasting to Titus about you has turned out to be the truth.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his strong and tender affection is all the more drawn out towards you when he recalls to mind the obedience which all of you manifested by the timidity and nervous anxiety with which you welcomed him.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:8:1 @ But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia;

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:8:8 @ I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:9 @ 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:8:17 @ for Titus welcomed our request, and, being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own free will.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we send with them our brother, of whose zeal we have had frequent proof in many matters, and who is now more zealous than ever through the strong confidence which he has in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:23 @ 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:8:24 @ Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:1 @ As to the services which are being rendered to God's people, it is really unnecessary for me to write to you.

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:9:8 @ 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:9:10 @ And God who continually supplies seed for the sower and bread for eating, will supply you with seed and multiply it, and will cause your almsgiving to yield a plentiful harvest.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:11 @ May you be abundantly enriched so as to show all liberality, such as through our instrumentality brings thanksgiving to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,

wmth@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they themselves also in supplications on your behalf pour out their longing love towards you because of God's surpassing grace which is resting upon you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:1 @ But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ–I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.

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:10:6 @ while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.

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:10:9 @ Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:10:16 @ and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:3 @ 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:11:8 @ Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden –for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants– and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:11 @ 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:11:19 @ Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.

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:12:11 @ It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

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:12:14 @ See, I am now for the third time prepared to visit you, but I will not be a dead weight to you. I desire not your money, but yourselves; for children ought not to put by for their parents, but parents for their children.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.

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:12:17 @ Have I gained any selfish advantage over you through any one of the messengers I have sent to you?

wmth@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

wmth@2Corinthians:12:19 @ 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:13:1 @ This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you.

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:13:9 @ and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for–the perfecting of your characters.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All God's people here send greetings to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:14 @ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

wmth@Galatians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

wmth@Galatians:1:7 @ For other »Good News« there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.

wmth@Galatians:1:8 @ 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:1:11 @ For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.

wmth@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my early career in Judaism–how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;

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:2:14 @ 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:2:15 @ You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

wmth@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Whose sophistry has bewitched you–you to whom Jesus Christ has been vividly portrayed as on the Cross?

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:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to reach perfection through what is external?

wmth@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose–if indeed it has been to no purpose?

wmth@Galatians:3:5 @ He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you–does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, or is it the result of your having heard and believed:

wmth@Galatians:3:16 @ (Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say »and to seeds,« as if speaking of many, but »and to your seed,« since He spoke of only one–and this is Christ.)

wmth@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

wmth@Galatians:3:27 @ for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

wmth@Galatians:3:28 @ In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are indeed true descendants of Abraham, and are heirs in fulfilment of the promise.

wmth@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.

wmth@Galatians:4:8 @ But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.

wmth@Galatians:4:9 @ Now, however, having come to know God –or rather to be known by Him– how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

wmth@Galatians:4:10 @ You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years.

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:4:12 @ Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me.

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:4:14 @ and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!

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:4:18 @ It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children–

wmth@Galatians:4:19 @ you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.

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

wmth@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me –you who want to continue to be subject to Law– will you not listen to the Law?

wmth@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brethren, like Isaac, are children born in fulfilment of a promise.

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:5:4 @ Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace.

wmth@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running the race nobly! Who has interfered and caused you to swerve from the truth?

wmth@Galatians:5:8 @ No such teaching ever proceeded from Him who is calling you.

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

wmth@Galatians:5:13 @ You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

wmth@Galatians:5:14 @ For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept the single precept, which says,

wmth@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another.

wmth@Galatians:5:16 @ This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of your lower natures.

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:5:18 @ But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not subject to Law.

wmth@Galatians:5:19 @ Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery;

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:6:1 @ Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.

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:6:11 @ See in what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

wmth@Galatians:6:12 @ All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ.

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:6:18 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.

wmth@Ephesians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:1:13 @ And in Him you Gentiles also, after listening to the Message of the truth, the Good News of your salvation –having believed in Him– were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit;

wmth@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:1:16 @ offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.

wmth@Ephesians:1:17 @ For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –the Father most glorious– to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

wmth@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:2:1 @ To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins,

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:2:8 @ 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:2:11 @ 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:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:2:17 @ So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;

wmth@Ephesians:2:19 @ You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

wmth@Ephesians:2:20 @ You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,

wmth@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.

wmth@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles–

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:3:13 @ Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.

wmth@Ephesians:3:16 @ to grant you –in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections– to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.

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: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:4:4 @ There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

wmth@Ephesians:4:17 @ Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,

wmth@Ephesians:4:20 @ But these are not the lessons which you have learned from Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:4:21 @ if at least you have heard His voice and in Him have been taught –and this is true Christian teaching–

wmth@Ephesians:4:22 @ to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

wmth@Ephesians:4:23 @ and to get yourselves renewed in the temper of your minds and clothe yourselves

wmth@Ephesians:4:25 @ For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

wmth@Ephesians:4:26 @ If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;

wmth@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.

wmth@Ephesians:4:30 @ And beware of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed in preparation for the day of Redemption.

wmth@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you–and also every kind of malice.

wmth@Ephesians:4:32 @ On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.

wmth@Ephesians:5:2 @ And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.

wmth@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.

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:5:8 @ There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.

wmth@Ephesians:5:10 @ and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.

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:5:14 @ For this reason it is said, »Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you.«

wmth@Ephesians:5:15 @ Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.

wmth@Ephesians:5:16 @ Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.

wmth@Ephesians:5:17 @ On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.

wmth@Ephesians:5:19 @ but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.

wmth@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:5:22 @ Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;

wmth@Ephesians:5:25 @ Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;

wmth@Ephesians:5:33 @ 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:6:1 @ Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.

wmth@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.

wmth@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to your earthly masters, with respect and eager anxiety to please and with simplicity of motive as if you were obeying Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:6:6 @ Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart.

wmth@Ephesians:6:7 @ With right good will, be faithful to your duty as service rendered to the Lord and not to man.

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:6:10 @ In conclusion, strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in the power which His supreme might imparts.

wmth@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field.

wmth@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness

wmth@Ephesians:6:15 @ as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace– a firm foundation for your feet.

wmth@Ephesians:6:16 @ And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one;

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:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God at my every remembrance of you–

wmth@Philippians:1:4 @ always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, finding a joy in offering it.

wmth@Philippians:1:5 @ I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now.

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:1:7 @ And I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself.

wmth@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.

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:1:19 @ 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:1:24 @ 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:1:28 @ Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation–a token coming from God.

wmth@Philippians:1:29 @ For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ–not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf;

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:2:1 @ If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

wmth@Philippians:2:2 @ united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds to one and the same object.

wmth@Philippians:2:5 @ Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling –not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you– labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

wmth@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God Himself whose power creates within you the desire to do His gracious will and also brings about the accomplishment of the desire.

wmth@Philippians:2:14 @ Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,

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:2:17 @ Nay, even if my life is to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I rejoice, and I congratulate you all.

wmth@Philippians:2:18 @ And I bid you also share my gladness, and congratulate me.

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:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you.

wmth@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know Timothy's approved worth–how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:2:24 @ but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

wmth@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now–he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs.

wmth@Philippians:2:26 @ I send him because he is longing to see you all and is distressed at your having heard of his illness.

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:3:1 @ In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.

wmth@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.

wmth@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.

wmth@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.

wmth@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.

wmth@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one–the Lord is near.

wmth@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

wmth@Philippians:4:7 @ And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.

wmth@Philippians:4:9 @ The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you –both what you heard and what you saw in me– hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.

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:4:14 @ Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.

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:4:16 @ because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.

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@Philippians:4:19 @ But my God –so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus– will fully supply every need of yours.

wmth@Philippians:4:22 @ All God's people here greet you–especially the members of Caesar's household.

wmth@Philippians:4:23 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.

wmth@Colossians:1:2 @ To the people of God and the believing brethren at Colossae who are in Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father.

wmth@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, constantly praying for you as we do,

wmth@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you cherish towards all God's people,

wmth@Colossians:1:5 @ on account of the hope treasured up for you in Heaven. Of this hope you have already heard in the Message of the truth of the Good News.

wmth@Colossians:1:6 @ For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God,

wmth@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Epaphras our dearly-loved fellow servant. He is to you a faithful minister of Christ in our stead,

wmth@Colossians:1:8 @ and moreover he has informed us of your love, which is inspired by the Spirit.

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:1:11 @ Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, estranged as you once were and even hostile in your minds, amidst your evil deeds,

wmth@Colossians:1:22 @ He has now, in His human body, reconciled to God by His death, to bring you, holy and faultless and irreproachable, into His presence;

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:1:24 @ Now I can find joy amid my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my own person whatever is lacking in Christ's afflictions on behalf of His Body, the Church.

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:2:1 @ For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally,

wmth@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry.

wmth@Colossians:2:5 @ For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him;

wmth@Colossians:2:7 @ having the roots of your being firmly planted in Him, and continually building yourselves up in Him, and always being increasingly confirmed in the faith as you were taught it, and abounding in it with thanksgiving.

wmth@Colossians:2:8 @ Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:9 @ For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete,

wmth@Colossians:2:11 @ In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision;

wmth@Colossians:2:12 @ having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead.

wmth@Colossians:2:13 @ And to you –dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state– He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions.

wmth@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath.

wmth@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one defraud you of your prize, priding himself on his humility and on his worship of the angels, and taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and idly puffed up with his unspiritual thoughts.

wmth@Colossians:2:20 @ If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as

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:3:3 @ For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

wmth@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ appears –He is our true Life– then you also will appear with Him in glory.

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:3:7 @ and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power.

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:3:9 @ Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,

wmth@Colossians:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.

wmth@Colossians:3:12 @ Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.

wmth@Colossians:3:15 @ and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.

wmth@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

wmth@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

wmth@Colossians:3:18 @ Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

wmth@Colossians:3:19 @ Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.

wmth@Colossians:3:20 @ Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.

wmth@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.

wmth@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord.

wmth@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.

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:4:2 @ Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks.

wmth@Colossians:4:5 @ Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities.

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:4:7 @ Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.

wmth@Colossians:4:8 @ 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:4:9 @ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.

wmth@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome.

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:4:13 @ For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis.

wmth@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.

wmth@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea.

wmth@Colossians:4:18 @ I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ 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:1:6 @ And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,

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:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves, brethren, know that our visit to you did not fail of its purpose.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But, as you will remember, after we had already met with suffering and outrage at Philippi, we summoned up boldness, by the help of our God, to tell you God's Good News amid much opposition.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you are well aware, we have never used the language of flattery nor have we found pretexts for enriching ourselves–God is our witness;

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory either from you or from any other mere men, although we might have stood on our dignity as Christ's Apostles.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ 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:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: how, working night and day so as not to become a burden to any one of you, we came and proclaimed among you God's Good News.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You yourselves are witnesses –and God is witness– how holy and upright and blameless our dealings with you believers were.

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:2:12 @ and imploring you to live lives worthy of fellowship with God who is inviting you to share His own Kingship and glory.

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:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been for a short time separated from you in bodily presence, though not in heart, endeavoured all the more earnestly, with intense longing, to see you face to face.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ On this account we wanted to come to you –at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so– but Satan hindered us.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy, or the crown of which we boast? Is it not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His Coming?

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ Yes, you are our glory and our joy.

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:3:4 @ For even when we were with you, we forewarned you, saying, »We are soon to suffer affliction;« and this actually happened, as you well know.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure the uncertainty, sent to know the condition of your faith, lest perchance the Tempter might have tempted you and our labour have been lost.

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:3:7 @ for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving on your behalf can we possibly offer to God in return for all the joy which fills our souls before our God for 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:3:11 @ But may our God and Father Himself –and our Lord Jesus– guide us on our way to you;

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Moreover, brethren, as you learnt from our lips the lives which you ought to live, and do live, so as to please God, we beg and exhort you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live them more and more truly.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know the commands which we laid upon you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

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:4:8 @ Therefore a defiant spirit in such a case provokes not man but God, who puts His Holy Spirit into your hearts.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But on the subject of love for the brotherhood it is unnecessary for me to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedonia. And we exhort you to do so more and more,

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ Now, concerning those who from time to time pass away, we would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, lest you should mourn as others do who have no hope.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ 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:5:5 @ for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Now we beg you, brethren, to show respect for those who labour among you and are your leaders in Christian work, and are your advisers;

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the timid, sustain the weak, and be patient towards all.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In every circumstance of life be thankful; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Hold yourselves aloof from every form of evil.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ And may God Himself who gives peace, make you entirely holy; and may your spirits, souls and bodies be preserved complete and be found blameless at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also perfect His work.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I solemnly charge you in the Lord's name to have this Letter read to all the brethren.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

wmth@2Thessalonians: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:1:5 @ For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction those who are now afflicting you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now–rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His mighty angels.

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:2:1 @ But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ 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:2:5 @ 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:2:13 @ And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf –brethren whom the Lord loves– because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.

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:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.

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:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.

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:3:5 @ And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example–for you to imitate us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:»If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat.«

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every sense. The Lord be with you all.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

wmth@1Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@1Timothy:1:3 @ 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:1:18 @ 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:3:14 @ All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come to see you.

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:4:6 @ If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, and are, so close a follower.

wmth@1Timothy:4:8 @ Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.

wmth@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.

wmth@1Timothy:4:13 @ Till I come, bestow your attention on reading, exhortation and teaching.

wmth@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, which were conferred on you through a divine revelation when the hands of the elders were placed upon you.

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:5:1 @ Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

wmth@1Timothy:5:2 @ the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.

wmth@1Timothy:5:11 @ But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

wmth@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

wmth@1Timothy:5:21 @ I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.

wmth@1Timothy:5:23 @ (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake of your digestion and your frequent ailments.)

wmth@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of others lag behind.

wmth@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

wmth@1Timothy:6:12 @ Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.

wmth@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you –as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith–

wmth@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called `knowledge';

wmth@1Timothy:6:21 @ of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all.

wmth@2Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience –as my forefathers did– that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,

wmth@2Timothy:1:4 @ being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.

wmth@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart–a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

wmth@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.

wmth@2Timothy:1:13 @ Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

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:2:3 @ As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering.

wmth@2Timothy:2:7 @ Mark well what I am saying: the Lord will give you discernment in everything.

wmth@2Timothy:2:15 @ Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.

wmth@2Timothy:2:22 @ Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.

wmth@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing –as you do– that these lead to quarrels;

wmth@2Timothy:3:10 @ But you have intimately known my teaching, life, aims, faith, patience, love, resignation,

wmth@2Timothy:3:11 @ and the persecutions and sufferings which I have endured; the things which happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.

wmth@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were,

wmth@2Timothy: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:4:1 @ I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:

wmth@2Timothy:4:5 @ But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.

wmth@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help to me in my ministry.

wmth@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring with you the cloak which I left behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.

wmth@2Timothy:4:15 @ You also should beware of him; for he has violently opposed our preaching.

wmth@2Timothy:4:21 @ Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

wmth@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.

wmth@Titus:1:4 @ To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

wmth@Titus:1:5 @ 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:1:11 @ You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money.

wmth@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.

wmth@Titus:2:4 @ They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,

wmth@Titus:2:6 @ In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,

wmth@Titus:2:7 @ and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,

wmth@Titus:2:15 @ Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.

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:3:9 @ But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

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:3:12 @ After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

wmth@Titus:3:15 @ Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.

wmth@Philemon:1:2 @ and to our sister Apphia and our comrade Archippus–as well as to the Church in your house.

wmth@Philemon:1:3 @ May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:4 @ I give continual thanks to my God while making mention of you, my brother, in my prayers,

wmth@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people;

wmth@Philemon:1:6 @ praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.

wmth@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,

wmth@Philemon:1:10 @ I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains–I mean Onesimus.

wmth@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now –true to his name– he is of great use to you and to me.

wmth@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself.

wmth@Philemon:1:13 @ It was my wish to keep him at my side for him to attend to my wants, as your representative, during my imprisonment for the Good News.

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:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but as something better than a slave–a brother peculiarly dear to me, and even dearer to you, both as a servant and as a fellow Christian.

wmth@Philemon:1:17 @ If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself.

wmth@Philemon:1:18 @ And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount.

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@Philemon:1:23 @ Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;

wmth@Philemon:1:25 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you.

wmth@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.

wmth@Hebrews:3:7 @ For this reason–as the Holy Spirit warns us, »To-day, if you hear His voice,

wmth@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,

wmth@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.

wmth@Hebrews:3:12 @ see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you –as perhaps there may be– a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.

wmth@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.

wmth@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

wmth@Hebrews: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:5:12 @ For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.

wmth@Hebrews:6:9 @ But we, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends–a conviction of things which point towards salvation.

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:6:11 @ But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;

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:9:14 @ how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless works for you to serve the ever-living God?

wmth@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting –as some habitually do– to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.

wmth@Hebrews:10:29 @ 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:10:32 @ But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings.

wmth@Hebrews:10:33 @ This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated.

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:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

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:12:3 @ Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.

wmth@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives;

wmth@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say,

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:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint

wmth@Hebrews:12:15 @ Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;

wmth@Hebrews:12:17 @ 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:12:18 @ For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words–

wmth@Hebrews:12:22 @ On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,

wmth@Hebrews:12:25 @ Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.

wmth@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.

wmth@Hebrews:13:5 @ Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said,

wmth@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your former leaders–it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.

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:13:19 @ 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@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren from Italy send you greetings.

wmth@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace be with you all! Amen.

wmth@James:1:2 @ Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.

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:1:5 @ And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

wmth@James:1:19 @ You know this, my dearly-loved brethren. But let every one be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to be angry.

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:1:22 @ But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.

wmth@James:2:1 @ My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.

wmth@James:2:2 @ For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,

wmth@James:2:3 @ and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, »Sit here; this is a good place;« while to the poor man you say, »Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;«

wmth@James:2:4 @ is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts?

wmth@James:2:6 @ But have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? –

wmth@James:2:7 @ and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called?

wmth@James:2:8 @ If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says you are acting rightly.

wmth@James:2:9 @ But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.

wmth@James:2:11 @ For He who said, also said, and if you are a murderer, although not an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law.

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:2:18 @ Nay, some one will say, »You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions.

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:2:22 @ 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:3:13 @ Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit.

wmth@James:3:14 @ But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.

wmth@James:4:1 @ What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures?

wmth@James:4:2 @ You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;

wmth@James:4:3 @ or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.

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:4:7 @ Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

wmth@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.

wmth@James:4:9 @ Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame.

wmth@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

wmth@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.

wmth@James:4:12 @ The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man?

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:4:14 @ when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.

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:5:1 @ Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.

wmth@James:5:2 @ Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;

wmth@James:5:3 @ your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days.

wmth@James:5:4 @ I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops –pay which you are keeping back– is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.

wmth@James:5:5 @ Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.

wmth@James:5:6 @ You have condemned –you have murdered– the righteous man: he offers no resistance.

wmth@James:5:8 @ So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.

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:5:13 @ Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? Let him sing a psalm.

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:5:19 @ My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and some one brings him back,

wmth@1Peter:1:2 @ chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.

wmth@1Peter:1:4 @ to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,

wmth@1Peter:1:6 @ Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.

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:1:8 @ Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,

wmth@1Peter:1:9 @ while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

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:1:12 @ 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:1:14 @ And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,

wmth@1Peter:1:15 @ but –in imitation of the holy One who has called you– you also must be holy in all your habits of life.

wmth@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,

wmth@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,

wmth@1Peter:1:20 @ He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,

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:1:23 @ For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life.

wmth@1Peter:1:25 @ And that means the Message which has been proclaimed among you in the Good News.

wmth@1Peter:2:1 @ Rid yourselves therefore of all ill-will and all deceitfulness, of insincerity and envy, and of all evil speaking.

wmth@1Peter:2:2 @ Thirst, like newly-born infants, for pure milk for the soul, that by it you may grow up to salvation;

wmth@1Peter:2:3 @ if you have had any experience of the goodness of the Lord.

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:2:10 @ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. Once you had not found mercy, but now you have.

wmth@1Peter:2:11 @ Dear friends, I entreat you as pilgrims and foreigners not to indulge the cravings of your lower natures: for all such cravings wage war upon the soul.

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:2:16 @ Be free men, and yet do not make your freedom an excuse for base conduct, but be God's bondservants.

wmth@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive to your masters, and show them the utmost respect–not only if they are kind and thoughtful, but also if they are unreasonable.

wmth@1Peter:2:20 @ If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable thing with God.

wmth@1Peter:2:21 @ 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:2:25 @ For you were straying like lost sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Protector of your souls.

wmth@1Peter:3:1 @ 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:3:3 @ Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing–one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.

wmth@1Peter:3:6 @ Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

wmth@1Peter:3:7 @ 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:3:8 @ In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded,

wmth@1Peter:3:9 @ not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit.

wmth@1Peter:3:13 @ And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?

wmth@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled;

wmth@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

wmth@1Peter: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:3:21 @ 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:4:1 @ Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same –because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin–

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:4:3 @ For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in– pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

wmth@1Peter:4:4 @ 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:4:7 @ 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:4:10 @ Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.

wmth@1Peter:4:12 @ 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:4:15 @ But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.

wmth@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the Elders among you–I who am their fellow Elder and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed.

wmth@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;

wmth@1Peter:5:3 @ not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.

wmth@1Peter:5:4 @ And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.

wmth@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

wmth@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.

wmth@1Peter:5:7 @ Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.

wmth@1Peter:5:8 @ Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour.

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:5:10 @ And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong.

wmth@1Peter:5:12 @ I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother –for such I regard him– in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

wmth@1Peter:5:13 @ The Church in Babylon, chosen like yourselves by God, sends greetings, and so does Mark my son.

wmth@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:2 @ May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

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:1:5 @ But for this very reason –adding, on your part, all earnestness– along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;

wmth@2Peter:1:8 @ If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:10 @ 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:1:11 @ And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you.

wmth@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.

wmth@2Peter:1:13 @ But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.

wmth@2Peter:1:15 @ So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.

wmth@2Peter:1:16 @ For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.

wmth@2Peter:1:19 @ And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention –as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place– until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

wmth@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.

wmth@2Peter:2:3 @ Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.

wmth@2Peter:2:13 @ being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

wmth@2Peter:3:1 @ This letter which I am now writing to you, dear friends, is my second letter. In both my letters I seek to revive in your honest minds the memory of certain things,

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:3:8 @ But there is one thing, dear friends, which you must not forget. With the Lord one day resembles a thousand years and a thousand years resemble one day.

wmth@2Peter:3:9 @ 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:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus pre-destined to dissolution, what sort of men ought you to be found to be in all holy living and godly conduct,

wmth@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, dear friends, since you have these expectations, earnestly seek to be found in His presence, free from blemish or reproach, in peace.

wmth@2Peter:3:15 @ And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted to him.

wmth@2Peter:3:17 @ You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.

wmth@1John:1:2 @ the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us–

wmth@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

wmth@1John:1:5 @ This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you–God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.

wmth@1John: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:2:7 @ 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:2:8 @ And yet I giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

wmth@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.

wmth@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

wmth@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

wmth@1John:2:18 @ 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:2:20 @ As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge.

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:2:24 @ 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:2:26 @ I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray.

wmth@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things –and is true and is no falsehood– you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

wmth@1John: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:3:5 @ And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

wmth@1John:3:7 @ Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous.

wmth@1John:3:11 @ For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning–that we are to love one another.

wmth@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

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: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:4:4 @ As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

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:5:21 @ Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.

wmth@2John:1:1 @ The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,

wmth@2John:1:4 @ It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.

wmth@2John:1:5 @ And now, dear lady, I pray you –writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning– let us love one another.

wmth@2John:1:6 @ 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:1:10 @ If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.

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@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.

wmth@3John:1:1 @ The Elder to his dear friend Gaius. Truly I love you.

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:1:5 @ My dear friend, you are acting faithfully in all your behaviour towards the brethren, even when they are strangers to you.

wmth@3John:1:6 @ They have testified, in the presence of the Church, to your love; and you will do well to help them on their journey in a manner worthy of your fellowship with God.

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@3John:1:13 @ I have a great deal to say to you, but I do not wish to go on writing it with ink and pen.

wmth@3John:1:14 @ But I hope to see you very soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace be with you. Our friends send greetings to you. Greet our friends individually.

wmth@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy, peace and love be abundantly granted to you.

wmth@Jude:1:3 @ Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.

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:1:9 @ But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, »The Lord rebuke you.«

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:1:17 @ 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@Jude:1:18 @ how they declared to you, »In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions.«

wmth@Jude:1:20 @ But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Jude:1:22 @ Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;

wmth@Jude:1:23 @ others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.

wmth@Jude:1:24 @ But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy–

wmth@Revelation:1:4 @ John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;

wmth@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:1:11 @ It said, »Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches–to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.«

wmth@Revelation:1:19 @ Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:

wmth@Revelation:1:20 @ the secret meaning of the seven stars which you have seen in My right hand, and of the seven lampstands of gold. The seven stars are the ministers of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.

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:2:3 @ And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.

wmth@Revelation:2:4 @ Yet I have this against you–that you no longer love Me as you did at first.

wmth@Revelation:2:5 @ Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place–unless you repent.

wmth@Revelation:2:6 @ Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

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:2:12 @ »To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows:« `This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.

wmth@Revelation:2:13 @ Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.

wmth@Revelation:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.

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:3:1 @ »To the minister of the Church at Sardis write as follows:« `This is what He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says. I know your doings–you are supposed to be alive, but in reality you are dead.

wmth@Revelation:3:3 @ Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.

wmth@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have in Sardis a few who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white; for they are worthy.

wmth@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your doings. I have put an opened door in front of you, which no one can shut; because you have but a little power, and yet you have guarded My word and have not disowned Me.

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:3:16 @ Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.

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:7:14 @ »My lord, you know,« I replied. »They are those,« he said, »who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. »Take it,« he said, »and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey.«

wmth@Revelation:14:18 @ And another angel came out from the altar –he who had power over fire– and he spoke in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, »Use your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are now quite ripe.«

wmth@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls came and spoke to me. »Come with me,« he said, »and I will show you the doom of the great Harlot who sits upon many waters.

wmth@Revelation:17:7 @ Then the angel said to me, »Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.

wmth@Revelation:17:8 @ »The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement –all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world– when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come.«

wmth@Revelation:17:12 @ »And the ten horns which you have seen are ten kings who have not yet come to the throne, but for a single hour they are to receive authority as kings along with the Wild Beast.«

wmth@Revelation:17:15 @ He also said to me, »The waters which you have seen, on which the Harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, nations and languages.

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:17:18 @ And the woman whom you have seen is the great city which has kingly power over the kings of the earth.«

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:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you.«

wmth@Revelation:19:5 @ And from the throne there came a voice which said, »Praise our God, all you His bondservants–you who fear Him, both the small and the great.«

wmth@Revelation:19:10 @ 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:19:18 @ 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: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.«
