bwe@Romans:1:1 @ I am Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. He called me to be an apostle and to tell Gods good news.

bwe@Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.

bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.

bwe@Romans:1:6 @ You are some of them. You were called to belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Romans:1:7 @ I send greetings to all the Christians who live in the city of Rome. God loves you and has called you to be his people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. In their kindness may they give you peace.

bwe@Romans:1:8 @ People in all the world have heard that you believe. I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you.

bwe@Romans:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.

bwe@Romans:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.

bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.

bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.

bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.

bwe@Romans:2:17 @ But you call yourselves Jews. You believe the law. You are proud of your God.

bwe@Romans:2:28 @ If a person is a Jew only on the outside, he is not really a Jew. And true circumcision is not something that is done on the outside of the body.

bwe@Romans:2:29 @ If a person is a Jew inside, he is really a Jew. It is God who praises him, not people. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is in the spirit, not in the body. Such people are not praised; but God praises them.

bwe@Romans:3:5 @ When we do wrong things, we show that God is right. What shall we say about that? Does God do wrong when he punishes us? (I speak the way people would think about it.)

bwe@Romans:3:9 @ So what shall we say? Are we Jews any better than other people? No, we are not! I have already shown that all men, both Jews and people who are not Jews have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:3:12 @ They all have turned away from the straight road. Together they have gone the wrong way. No one does good, not even one person!

bwe@Romans:3:19 @ We know that everything the law says, it says to the people who have the law. Then no one can say a word for themselves. All the people in the world will be brought to God to be judged.

bwe@Romans:3:22 @ God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.

bwe@Romans:3:23 @ All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.

bwe@Romans:3:27 @ Then what have we to be proud of? Nothing at all. Why not? Does God put us right with himself because of anything we have done? No. He does it because we believe.

bwe@Romans:3:29 @ Is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of other people also? Yes, he is. There is only one God of all peoples.

bwe@Romans:4:1 @ So what shall we say about Abraham? He is the father of our family on earth.

bwe@Romans:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.

bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:11 @ Abraham was circumcised as a sign. It was a sign that he was a good man, because he believed when he was not yet circumcised. That makes him the father of all people who believe, even those who are not circumcised. God says they are good people.

bwe@Romans:4:16 @ That is why people must believe. Because God is kind, he makes the promise sure for all of Abrahams children. The promise is for those who have the law and also for those who believe as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.

bwe@Romans:5:2 @ Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.

bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.

bwe@Romans:5:12 @ One man <FI>Adam<Fi> did a wrong thing. And the wrong thing he did made him die. So all men die because all have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.

bwe@Romans:5:20 @ When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.

bwe@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we keep on doing wrong things so that God will be more kind to us?

bwe@Romans:6:3 @ All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?

bwe@Romans:6:5 @ Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.

bwe@Romans:6:10 @ He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.

bwe@Romans:6:15 @ What then? The law does not rule over us now. Gods loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!

bwe@Romans:7:7 @ So what shall we say? Shall we say that the law is bad? No! I would not have known what is wrong if there had been no law. The law says, Do not want to take other peoples things. That is how I know it is wrong to want another persons things.

bwe@Romans:7:8 @ My wrong ways used the law to make me want all kinds of things. When there is no law, the thing within me that wants to do wrong is dead.

bwe@Romans:8:14 @ All who do what Gods Spirit leads them to do are Gods sons.

bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

bwe@Romans:8:20 @ The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.

bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.

bwe@Romans:8:30 @ He chose them and he also called them. He called them to himself as if they had never been bad people. He made them right with himself and he also made them great in heaven.

bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?

bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?

bwe@Romans:8:36 @ The holy writings say, For your sake we are killed all day. We are like sheep ready to be killed.

bwe@Romans:8:37 @ But Christ loved us. He has helped us to win great victory in all these things.

bwe@Romans:8:39 @ I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bwe@Romans:9:4 @ The great men were their fathers. Christ was born a Jew. He is God over all. Praise him for ever! Yes, he is!

bwe@Romans:9:5 @ God will do what he said he would do. Not all who are Jews belong to the real Israel.

bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.

bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.

bwe@Romans:9:8 @ For this is what God promised, About this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.

bwe@Romans:9:11 @ When the children were not yet born, they had done nothing good or bad. God chooses the people he wants. He does not choose people because of what they have done. He chooses people who will answer his call. So he said to Rebecca, The older one will be a slave of the younger one.

bwe@Romans:9:13 @ So what shall we say? Does God do what is not right? No, never!

bwe@Romans:9:16 @ In the holy writings it says to Pharaoh, That is why I made you live. I wanted to show my power through you. I wanted people to know about me all over the earth.

bwe@Romans:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:9:24 @ In the book written long ago by the prophet Hosea, God says They were not my people. But I will call them "my people". I did not love her, but I will call her "the one I love."

bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."

bwe@Romans:9:27 @ The Lord will do what he said he will do on the earth. He will do it all and do it soon.

bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.

bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.

bwe@Romans:9:32 @ That is what the holy writings say, I put in Zion a stone on which people will hit their feet. It is a rock that will make them fall down. Anyone who believes in him will not be ashamed.

bwe@Romans:10:1 @ My brothers, with all my heart I want the Jews to be saved. And I ask God to save them.

bwe@Romans:10:12 @ The Jews and other people are alike. The same Lord is Lord of all people. He richly blesses all who call out to him.

bwe@Romans:10:13 @ The holy writings say, Everyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved.

bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?

bwe@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the good news. It is as Isaiah said it would be, Lord, who has believed what we have told them?

bwe@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have. The holy writings say, Their voice has gone out all over the earth. And their words have gone out all over the world.

bwe@Romans:10:21 @ But he says about the Jews, All day I held out my hands to a people who did not obey me, who said wrong things against me.

bwe@Romans:11:9 @ And David said long ago, May the table where they eat be like a net and like a trap. May it make them fall down. May it punish them.

bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.

bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy also.

bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.

bwe@Romans:11:26 @ Then all the Jews will be saved. The holy writings say, Someone will come from Zion to save people. He will take away the wrong ways of our father Jacob.

bwe@Romans:11:29 @ God does not change his gifts or his call to people.

bwe@Romans:11:32 @ God allowed people to disobey him. He did it so that he might be kind and forgive all people.

bwe@Romans:11:36 @ All things come from God, through God, and return to God. Praise him for ever! Yes, it is so!

bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.

bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

bwe@Romans:12:4 @ In a body there are many parts, but all the parts do not do the same thing.

bwe@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, we are many people. But we are one body because we are all joined together in Christ. Each one of us is a part of all the others.

bwe@Romans:12:17 @ When people do wrong things to you, do not do wrong things to them also. But try to do good things for all people.

bwe@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.

bwe@Romans:13:7 @ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.

bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.

bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.

bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

bwe@Romans:14:1 @ Be ready to take a person into the church even if he does not know and believe all you believe. Do not judge what he thinks about things.

bwe@Romans:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.

bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

bwe@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged.

bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.

bwe@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing is to eat no meat, and drink no wine, and not do anything that makes your brother fall.

bwe@Romans:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.

bwe@Romans:15:19 @ I had the power to do signs and wonderful things through the power of the Holy Spirit. So I have told the good news of Christ all the way from the city of Jerusalem to the country of Illyricum.

bwe@Romans:15:33 @ God gives peace. I ask that he will be with you all. He will!

bwe@Romans:16:4 @ They almost died to save me. I am not the only one who thanks them. All the churches who are not Jews thank them also.

bwe@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all Gods people who are with them.

bwe@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Christian churches send greetings to you.

bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He did this because he wanted to.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:2 @ Our Christian brother Sosthenes and I send greetings to the people who are the church of God in the city of Corinth. You are people whom Christ Jesus has made holy. You, too, are chosen to be Gods people. And we send greetings to all the people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Lord, just as he is our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:5 @ He has made you rich in all ways, in all that you say and in all you know.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:10 @ My Christian brothers, I beg you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, agree in what you say. Do not divide into groups. You should all think in the same way and decide to do the same things.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:11 @ The only one who really knows what a person is thinking is the spirit of the person himself. So also, no one knows what God is thinking, only the Spirit of God.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:15 @ He who has the Spirit of God tests all things. But others cannot test him.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:16 @ The holy writings say: Who knows the mind of the Lord so that he may teach him? As for us, we really do have the mind of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:5 @ After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We both work for God. You believed because of the work we did. The Lord gave each of us our work to do.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:10 @ I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:8 @ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you want? Shall I come to you with a stick to beat you, or shall I come with love and a kind spirit?

bwe@1Corinthians:5:1 @ I have heard a very bad report about you. I hear there are wrong sexual ways among you. Even the people who are not Jews do not allow wrong sex such as this among them. A man is living with his fathers wife!

bwe@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Surely it is not right for you to be proud. Do you not know that only a little yeast in the bread will make all the bread rise?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that some day Gods people will judge the world? If you are going to judge the world, can you not judge small things now?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? Then we should surely be able to judge things in this life!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:7 @ It is wrong for you to take each other to court at all. You should be willing to take wrong. It would be better to lose.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies belong to Christ? Shall I take parts of Christ and join them to a bad woman? No, never!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not keep from the other what is right for them to have. It is all right to stay from each other for a while, if you both agree to it. Then you will have time for prayer. Afterwards, come together again. If you do not, Satan might tempt you to do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were like I am. But God has made everyone different. One man can live one way and another man can live another way.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:15 @ If the one who is not a Christian really wants to leave, let him go. The Christian husband or wife is free then. God has called us to live in peace.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only let me say this. Every man should go on living in the way which the Lord chooses for him. He should go on as he was when God called him to be a Christian. I say this to people in all the churches.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:18 @ If a man was already circumcised when God called him, he should not try to change the marks of it. If a man was not circumcised when God called him, he should not be circumcised.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Everyone should stay the way he was when God called him.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:22 @ If a man was a slave when the Lord called him, he is the Lords free man. So also if a man was free when he was called, he is Christs slave.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, Christian brothers, everyone should go on living as he was when God called him. But now he lives with God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now here is what I say about food given to idols. We all know something about this matter. Yet knowledge makes us proud. Love is the real teacher.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone thinks he knows much, then he does not know what he really should know.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:5 @ There are things in the sky and on earth which are called gods. Yes, there are many gods and lords.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:6 @ Yet for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things come from him. He is the one for whom we live. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. He made all things. He is the one who gives us life.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Perhaps you feel it is all right for you to do it. But be careful! It might make the weak Christian do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If other people do not call me an apostle, yet surely I am an apostle to you. You people are the proof that I am an apostle for the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:15 @ And I am not writing this to ask you to do these things for me. I would rather die! It is something I am proud of, and no one shall take it away from me.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all this for the good news, so that I also will have some of its blessing.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ You know when people are running a race, they all run. But only one man will win. The way you should run is to run to win.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I control my own body really well. I make my body obey me. After telling others the good news, I myself do not want to be left out.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:1 @ My brothers, here is something you should know. Long ago, all our fathers were led by the cloud of God over them. They all went through the Red Sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:2 @ It was as if they were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate the same food from the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @ They all drank the same water sent by the Spirit. The water they drank came from a Rock of the Spirit which went with them. That Rock was Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore, when a person thinks, I am strong; I can stand, let that person be careful, or he will fall.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No testing has come to you that other people do not have. But God will not fail you. He will not allow the testing to be too hard for you. No. When the testing comes, God will make a way out for you, so that you can go through the testing.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:16 @ We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:17 @ The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:18 @ See what the Jews do. Those who eat the sacrifices all eat things that are sacrificed.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean by saying this? Is the food that has been given to idols really something holy? Or is an idol really something like God?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:33 @ I, also, try to please everyone in all I do. I do not think of what will be good for me, but I think of what will be good for many people. I want them to be saved.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But any woman who talks to God or speaks words from God with her head not covered brings shame on her head. She is just the same as a woman who has cut off all her hair.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!

bwe@1Corinthians:12:6 @ There are different ways of working, but there is only one God. He works in all people and does it all.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:7 @ And the Holy Spirit gives each one a gift so that all people may be helped.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:11 @ And the same Spirit gives the power for all these things. He gives each person what he wants to give to them.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:13 @ The one Spirit baptized us all to make one body. It made no difference whether we were Jews or Greeks, whether we were slaves or free men. We were all given to drink of one Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:14 @ I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If all of the body were an eye, how could we hear? If all the body were an ear, how could we smell?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one part, how could it be a body?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:25 @ Now, all of you together are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:28 @ Do they all have the gifts to heal the sick people? Can they all speak in different tongues? Can they all tell the meaning of these tongues?

bwe@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:12 @ Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear. We cannot see and understand things plainly. But when things become perfect, then we shall fully know and understand everything, just as God knows.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The person who talks in a different tongue helps himself. But the one who tells forth Gods word helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then shall I do? I will talk to God with my spirit and I will talk to God with my mind. I will sing with my spirit and I will sing with my mind.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:20 @ My brothers, do not be like children in your thinking. When it comes to doing wrong things, be like small babies. But in your thinking be grown up people.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Sometimes all the people of the church may be gathered together. If everyone talks in tongues, and if some people who do not know or believe come in, they will say that you are crazy.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What shall we do about it, my brothers? When you meet together, every one of you has something to help the other. One has a song to sing. One has something to teach people. One has something which God has shown to him. One has something to say in a tongue. One can tell the meaning of a tongue. Do all of these things to help one another.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:31 @ One by one you may speak words from God. In that way, all will learn something and all will be stronger in faith.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:33 @ God does not want things to be out of order. He wants peace in the church meeting. In all the churches of Gods people, the women should be quiet in the church meetings. They must not be allowed to talk. They must obey. The holy writings say this also.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:5 @ Peter saw him, and then all the twelve disciples saw him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:7 @ After that, James saw him. Then all the apostles saw him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, I saw him too. I was like one who was born at the wrong time.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:9 @ The other apostles are all greater than I am. I should not be called an apostle because I troubled the people of Gods church.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:22 @ All people who are of Adam die. And so also, all people who belong to Christ will live.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:24 @ After that the end will come. Christ will hand over the ruling power to God the Father. Christ will stop all other rulers, and everyone who has any rights and power.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:25 @ Christ must rule until God has all power over all his enemies.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:27 @ The holy writings say, God has put all things under Christ. But it does not mean that God is under Christ. God is the one who put all things under him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:28 @ One day the Son will be over all things. And God will be over the Son. So in the end God will be over all things.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why are we in trouble all the time?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up! Do what is right. Stop doing wrong things. Some of you do not know God at all. I say these things to you to make you ashamed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:39 @ Not all living bodies are alike. People have one kind of body. Animals have another kind of body. Fish another kind of body. Birds have another kind.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:49 @ We were made like the man of dust but we shall look like the man from heaven.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:3 @ When I get there, I will send to Jerusalem the men you all choose. They will carry your gift with your letters of approval.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:16 @ So, my brothers, I ask you to obey men like that. And join happily with all others who are helpers and workers.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the Christian brothers send you greetings. Greet each other with a holy kiss.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:24 @ I send my Christian love to you all.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am called by God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. My Christian brother Timothy and I send greetings to the church of God in the city of Corinth. We also send greetings to all of Gods people in the country of Greece.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:11 @ We write you nothing but what you have been reading out to the people, and what you all know. I hope that you will really know what is right even to the end.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:18 @ To the many promises God has made Christ can say Yes.He can make them all come true. So then, it is because of Christ that we can say, Yes, it is so! when we praise God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:3 @ That is why I wrote the letter. I did not want to come and be made sad by those who should make me glad. I am sure that what makes me glad makes you all glad too.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Here is why I wrote to you. I wanted to test you to find out if you obey me in all matters.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter. This letter has been written in our hearts. All people can read it and understand it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:2 @ We never do wrong things nor do things in secret. We do not fool people nor change Gods message. No, we tell people the truth openly. We let every person judge us for himself. We know that God sees all we do.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:14 @ We know this. God raised up the Lord Jesus, and he will raise us up also with Jesus. He will bring us all to stand together before God.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:10 @ We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Then we will receive pay. If we have done well, our pay will be good. If we have not done well, our pay will not be good. must be feared, so we try to get people to believe. God knows what we are and what we do. And we hope that in your hearts you, too, know.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:13 @ The love of Christ makes us do what we do to win men. We believe that one man died for all people. <FI>To God<Fi> it is as if we all died with him.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:17 @ But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:19 @ So we are messengers for Christ. God is using us to call people. So we are standing here for Christ and begging people, Come back to God!

bwe@2Corinthians:6:2 @ Because God has said. I heard you call at the right time. And I helped you in the day when I saved you. See, now is the right time. Now is the day to be saved.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:10 @ We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but really we have everything.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:11 @ We talk plainly to you people in Corinth. We love you with all our hearts.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I say this as to my own children. You should love us with all your hearts. with those who do not believe. You and they are not equal. How can people who do right, work with those who do not obey God? How can light and darkness be in the same place?

bwe@2Corinthians:6:17 @ I will be your father. And you shall be my sons and daughters. The Lord who is ruler of all says that.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I really trust you. I am very proud of you. I have received much comfort. Even in all of our troubles I am very glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:4 @ When we came to the country of Macedonia, we had no rest for our bodies. We had all kinds of trouble everywhere. There was fighting around us and our hearts were full of fear.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:8 @ I do not like to make you sad, but I am glad that it made you sad and made you turn from your wrong ways. You took it all as from God. So then, we did not really hurt you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:12 @ And so we have been comforted. Besides this, we were even more happy to see how happy Titus was. All of you really made his heart glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:13 @ I told him how proud I was of you. And really, I had nothing to be ashamed of. Everything we have said to you has been true. So also, what we told Titus about you proved true.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:14 @ He loves you even more when he remembers how you all obeyed him. You feared and trembled.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:3 @ I can tell you because I saw it myself. They gave as much as they could and even more than that. They did it all because they wanted to.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:17 @ We are sending another brother with him. This brother has a good name in all the churches because he tells the good news.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Of course, I really do not need to write to you about the money to be given to Gods people.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:8 @ God is able to give you even more blessings than you need. In all things you will always have all you need for yourselves, and you will have enough to help all others.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will become rich in every way. And then you will have enough to give plenty to all people. And many people will thank God for your gifts which we will bring them.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:13 @ This gift will prove something to them. They will praise God because you obey the good news of Christ. They will praise God because you have given this gift to help them and all the others.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thank God for his gift so great that no words can ever tell it all!

bwe@2Corinthians:10:4 @ We do not use the things of this world in our fighting, but we use the power of God. This power can break down the walls where the enemy hides.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:6 @ Only when you all obey, then we are ready to punish anyone who will not obey.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:14 @ We are not going farther than we should when we come to you. We were the first to come all the way to you with the good news of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:18 @ A man who praises himself is not a man who is good. The man who is really good is the man whom the Lord praises.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:5 @ But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Maybe I am not a good talker, but I surely know what I am talking about! Yes, we made this plain to you in every way in all things.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:19 @ You listen to a man even if he makes slaves of you, even if he spends all your money, even if he catches you in a trap, even if he is proud of himself, even if he slaps you in the face.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:20 @ I am ashamed, but I must say that we were too weak to be like that! Anything that others want to be proud of, I can talk about too. And yet it is really foolish to do so.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Three times people beat me with sticks, and once they threw rocks at me. Three times I was in a boat when it broke in the sea. I have been in the water all one night and day.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:27 @ Beside all other things, my heart is troubled about the churches. That is a load I carry every day.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:28 @ When anyone is weak, I am weak too. When anyone is made to fall away, my heart burns within me

bwe@2Corinthians:11:32 @ But I sat in a basket. Then it was put out through a window in the wall and was let down. And so I got away from him.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:11 @ There are signs that show a true apostle. I did all these things when I was among you. There were signs, wonderful works, and other big works which I did. You saw the power of God, even though I was being tested.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:15 @ All right then, I did not trouble you for any money. But some of you think that I have been mean and played a trick on you.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:18 @ Am I saying all this just to you? Are we just trying to make ourselves look right to you? No, we say this before God and in Christ. And my dear people, I have done it all to make you better Christians.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:8 @ After all, we have no power to work against what is true, but only for the truth.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All of Gods people send greetings to you.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:14 @ And to all of you I say, May the kindness and blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. May God show you his love. May you all have the Holy Spirit with you.

bwe@Galatians:1:1 @ I am Paul the apostle, a messenger from God. Men did not call me to be an apostle. Men did not make me an apostle. Jesus Christ and God the Father made me an apostle. It was the same God the Father who raised Jesus from death.

bwe@Galatians:1:2 @ All the Christian brothers who are with me and I, send greetings. To the churches in the province of Galatia:

bwe@Galatians:1:5 @ All the praise for this belongs to God for ever and ever. Yes, it does!

bwe@Galatians:1:6 @ I am very much surprised. It is so soon, and you are leaving God who called you by the love of Christ. Instead you are listening to another good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:7 @ There is really no other good news. But some people are making you think wrong things. They want to change the good news of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.

bwe@Galatians:2:7 @ No, the leaders saw that God called me to take the good news to those who are not circumcised <FI>not Jews<Fi>, just as he called Peter to take the good news to those who are circumcised <FI>Jews<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:11 @ One day Peter came to the city of Antioch. Then I had to tell him face to face that he had done wrong. He really was wrong!

bwe@Galatians:2:13 @ All the other Jewish Christians did the same as Peter did. They acted as if it was not right to eat with those who were not Jews. Even Barnabas did the same.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ But I saw they were not doing right. They were not obeying the true teaching of the good news. So I said to Peter in front of them all, You are a Jew. But you live the way people do who are not Jews. How then can you force those who are not Jews to live the way the Jews do?

bwe@Galatians:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.

bwe@Galatians:3:1 @ O you Galatians, have you no sense at all? Who has fooled you? You knew, just as if you had seen him with your own eyes, that Jesus Christ was killed on a cross.

bwe@Galatians:3:3 @ Have you no sense at all? You began living your new life by the power of the Spirit. And are you now trying to finish living it by your own power <FI>to keep the law<Fi>?

bwe@Galatians:3:4 @ So many things happened to you. Was it all for nothing? Surely it was not for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:3:6 @ So it was with Abraham. The holy writings say He believed God, and that was why God called him a good man.

bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.

bwe@Galatians:3:10 @ A curse is on all people who are trying to become good by obeying the law. The holy writings say, Everyone is cursed who does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law and do it.

bwe@Galatians:3:11 @ Now, you can see this. No man is called a good man by God because he obeys the law. The holy writings say, Those who are right with God shall live by faith.

bwe@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all Gods children because you have believed in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Galatians:3:27 @ All of you who have been baptised into Christ have taken Christ as your own.

bwe@Galatians:3:28 @ There is no longer any difference between a Jew and one who is not a Jew; between a slave and a free man; between a man and a woman. When you are in the body of Christ Jesus, you are all alike.

bwe@Galatians:4:1 @ Here is what I mean. When a man dies, his son is to receive his property. As long as the son is not grown up, he cannot have it. He has no more right than a servant, even though he really owns all the property.

bwe@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. The Spirit calls out, Father!

bwe@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear that all my work for you has been for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ has made us really free. So, stay free! Do not let yourselves be made slaves again.

bwe@Galatians:5:2 @ I, Paul, say to you again that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ is no help to you at all.

bwe@Galatians:5:3 @ Again I say to every man who is circumcised, he must obey all the law.

bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:8 @ God calls you but he is not the one who made you change your minds.

bwe@Galatians:5:9 @ Even a little yeast makes all the bread rise.

bwe@Galatians:5:13 @ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not take that to mean that you can do as you please. But work for each other because you love each other.

bwe@Galatians:6:6 @ People are taught the word of God. They should give some of all the good things they have to those who teach them.

bwe@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, when we can, we should do good to all people. But most of all, we should do it to those who are in Gods family.

bwe@Galatians:6:16 @ May all who live by this rule have peace. And may God bless them. They are the true people of Israel and they belong to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:10 @ When the right time came, God planned to bring together everything in heaven and on earth, and make Christ head of them all.

bwe@Ephesians:1:11 @ In and through Christ we will have a share in all that belongs to him. Long ago God chose us for this. And he makes things happen that he wants to do.

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

bwe@Ephesians:1:15 @ Here is why I always thank God for you. I have heard that you believe in the Lord Jesus and love all of Gods people. I think of you when I talk to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:17 @ I ask him that you may understand these things in your hearts. I ask him that you may know what a great hope you have because God has called you. I ask him that you may know the rich and great blessings God has promised to his people.

bwe@Ephesians:1:21 @ And God has put all things under Christ. He has made him the head of the church people in all matters.

bwe@Ephesians:1:22 @ The church <FI>all the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi> is his body. The church people have everything that Christ has. He is the One who is in everything everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:2:3 @ At one time we too all lived like them. We lived to please ourselves. We did what our bodies and our minds wanted us to do. We were people with whom God was angry, just like other people.

bwe@Ephesians:2:7 @ He did this to show us in all times to come how much he can bless people and how kind he is. It was Jesus Christ who brought this kindness to us.

bwe@Ephesians:2:11 @ So remember that you were not born Jews. (They call you The Uncircumcised).

bwe@Ephesians:2:14 @ Christ has made peace between us. He has brought both Jews and non-Jews together into one people. He has broken down the wall that divided us.

bwe@Ephesians:2:20 @ Gods family is like a house and you are part of the building. The apostles and prophets are like the lower walls of the house and you are the building on this foundation. Jesus Christ is the big stone at the corner.

bwe@Ephesians:3:8 @ I am less than the least of all Gods people, and yet he blessed me. It is my work to tell those who are not Jews about the wonderful blessings of Christ. There are so many that we cannot know them all.

bwe@Ephesians:3:9 @ God has blessed me so that I might tell all people plainly what his plan is. God, who made all things, did not tell anyone about his plan in all the times in the past.

bwe@Ephesians:3:18 @ I ask that God will give you power to know how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is. All Christians should know that.

bwe@Ephesians:4:1 @ I am a prisoner who belongs to the Lord. I beg you, live the way people should live who have been called by God.

bwe@Ephesians:4:2 @ Do not be proud at all. Be very humble. Love one another and be patient with each other.

bwe@Ephesians:4:3 @ The Spirit has made you all one. Try to stay like that. May you be at peace with one another.

bwe@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body of Christ and one Spirit. When God called you, there was one hope before you in your calling.

bwe@Ephesians:4:6 @ There is one God and Father of us all. He is over all. He works through all. And he is living in us all.

bwe@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who came down is the same one who went up higher than all the heavens. He did this so that he would be everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:4:13 @ The gifts are given so that we will all believe the one way and all know the Son of God. They are given so that we will be really grown-up Christians, like Christ himself.

bwe@Ephesians:4:15 @ We must say what is true and say it with love. In that way we will grow up in all things to be like Christ, who is the head of this body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:25 @ So stop telling lies. Tell the truth to each other. We all are parts of the same body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:31 @ You must stop all hate, big and small anger, loud talk, saying wrong things about people, and all wanting to do wrong things to people.

bwe@Ephesians:5:9 @ People who have the light do all that is good and right and true.

bwe@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always thank God the Father for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:5:31 @ The holy writings say For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.

bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.

bwe@Ephesians:6:4 @ Servants, obey your boss. Respect him with all your heart and try to please him as you would Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:6:5 @ Obey not only when he is looking at you, as if you were pleasing a man. But obey as the servants of Christ, and do with all your heart what God wants you to do.

bwe@Ephesians:6:9 @ Last of all, I say this. Be strong in the Lord and use the strength he gives.

bwe@Ephesians:6:15 @ You believe in God. Take that and cover all of yourself with it. With that you can stop all the poison arrows of the devil.

bwe@Ephesians:6:17 @ Always talk to God in the Spirit. Talk to him about everything and ask him for what you need. Put your mind on what you are saying, asking God to help all his people.

bwe@Ephesians:6:20 @ Tychicus will tell you all about me and what I am doing. He is a brother whom I love and a very good helper in the Lords work.

bwe@Ephesians:6:23 @ May the kindness of God bless all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:1 @ We, Paul and Timothy, are servants of Christ Jesus. We send greetings to all of Gods people who belong to Christ Jesus and who live in the city of Philippi. We send greetings to the leaders of the church people and those who have been chosen to help them.

bwe@Philippians:1:7 @ I have a right to feel this way about you all because I love you very much. God is good to me and you all share in this goodness. You share in my troubles in prison. You share in my work of staying true to the good news of Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:1:8 @ I love you all as Jesus Christ loves you. God knows that what I say is true.

bwe@Philippians:1:13 @ All the soldiers here and all the other people know that I am in prison because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:20 @ I look forward to this very much and hope that I will not be ashamed at all. But I want to be very strong. I want to bring honour to Christ now as I always have. I can do this if I live or die.

bwe@Philippians:1:21 @ All I live for is Christ, and to die would give me more blessing.

bwe@Philippians:1:22 @ If I keep on living, then I will keep on doing my good work. I really do not know which I want more, to live or to die.

bwe@Philippians:1:25 @ Because I am sure of this, I know that I will stay on and be here with you all. That will help you to be better Christians and happy ones.

bwe@Philippians:2:1 @ Does Christ speak to you? Does love call to you? Do you have a part in the Holy Spirit? Do you have any love and care for others?

bwe@Philippians:2:2 @ Then make me very, very happy. Live in happiness with one another. Have the same love for each other. Think the same way. Agree together about things. All have one purpose in mind.

bwe@Philippians:2:21 @ All the other people think only of themselves and not of Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:2:26 @ I am sending him back because he has been lonely without you all. And his heart has been troubled because you heard that he was sick.

bwe@Philippians:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.

bwe@Philippians:3:7 @ But all these things that might have helped me, I call them all nothing, because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.

bwe@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not yet think that I have got all the things of Christ. But there is one thing that I am doing. I forget what is behind me and reach out to what is ahead of me.

bwe@Philippians:3:14 @ Like a man running a race, I try hard to reach the line so that I will receive the prize. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, God is calling us to receive this prize that he has for us in heaven.

bwe@Philippians:3:15 @ All of us who are grown-up Christians should feel this way. And if you do not think this way, God will show you the right way.

bwe@Philippians:3:17 @ My brothers, do as I do, all of you. Look at the people who live the way we have lived.

bwe@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our body which was made for this world. He will make it like his own wonderful body. He will do this by his power to make all things obey him.

bwe@Philippians:4:12 @ I can do all things because Christ gives me strength.

bwe@Philippians:4:17 @ I have all I need and more. Yes, I have plenty because Epaphroditus gave me what you sent me. Your gift was like a sweet-smelling offering to God. It was a sacrifice which God took and it pleased him.

bwe@Philippians:4:21 @ All of Gods people send greetings to you, especially the people of Caesars house.

bwe@Philippians:4:22 @ The loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, may it be so!

bwe@Colossians:1:4 @ We have heard that you believe in Christ Jesus and love all of Gods people.

bwe@Colossians:1:11 @ God has wonderful power. And we ask him to give you all the strength you need to go through all your troubles, to be very patient in them, and to be happy.

bwe@Colossians:1:16 @ He made everything in the sky and on the earth. He made the things which can be seen and the things which cannot be seen. That means angels, kings, great powers, and rulers. They were all made by him and for him.

bwe@Colossians:1:17 @ He himself was before all things. And he holds all things together.

bwe@Colossians:1:20 @ And God chose him to be the one who would bring all things back to himself. God made peace by the blood which Christ gave on his cross. He would bring back all things on earth and in heaven.

bwe@Colossians:1:25 @ God gave me work to do for the church people so that you might know all of Gods message.

bwe@Colossians:1:26 @ This message is about the secret plan of God. People who lived in all the past times of the world did not know about this plan. But now it has been told to Gods people.

bwe@Colossians:1:27 @ He wanted them to know that his plan is very great and wonderful for those who are not Jews. And this plan is that Christ is in you! He is your hope for all the wonderful things that are to come.

bwe@Colossians:1:28 @ We tell about him. We tell everyone to be careful to live in the right way. We teach everyone all he needs to know. We do this so that we can bring everyone before God and he will be grown up in the things of Christ.

bwe@Colossians:1:29 @ And I am working for this with all the strength that God gives me.

bwe@Colossians:2:1 @ I want you to know how much I care for you and those in the city of Laodicea, and even all those who have never seen me.

bwe@Colossians:2:3 @ All the wonderful things there are to know about the plan are found in Christ.

bwe@Colossians:2:7 @ Let your heart be planted in him. Grow up in him. Believe with all your heart what you were taught. And be very thankful to God.

bwe@Colossians:2:11 @ In Christ you were not circumcised by mens hands. But you were circumcised in Christs way when all the wrong things you did in your bodies were taken away.

bwe@Colossians:2:13 @ You were dead because of the wrong things you had done, and because your lives had not been made clean. But God gave you life with Christ. He forgave you for all the wrong things you did.

bwe@Colossians:2:14 @ He wiped out all the things that were written against us in the laws. He took the writing away and nailed it to a cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:15 @ He won the victory over powers and rulers. He showed that they had no power at all. He showed the world his victory through the cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:22 @ All such things are gone as soon as they are used. These are laws made and taught by men.

bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.

bwe@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must stop all these: being angry, hating people, wrong feelings toward others, saying wrong things about people, and dirty talking.

bwe@Colossians:3:11 @ In this new person, there is no difference between a Greek and a Jew. There is no difference between a man who is circumcised with the mark of the Jew and a man who is not circumcised. There is no difference between a person from a friendly country or someone from a country which is not friendly. There is no difference between a slave and a person who is free. Christ is everything and is in all of them.

bwe@Colossians:3:14 @ Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.

bwe@Colossians:3:15 @ Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.

bwe@Colossians:3:22 @ Servants, obey your boss in everything. Obey always, not only when he is looking at you as if you were pleasing a man. Do it with all your heart because you respect the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus will tell you all about me. He is a brother whom I love. He is a very good helper and works with me in the Lords work.

bwe@Colossians:4:9 @ I am sending Onesimus with him. He is also a good brother whom I love. He is one of you. They will tell you all about everything here.

bwe@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras sends you greetings. He is one of you and is a servant of Christ Jesus. He always talks to God about you with all his heart. He asks God to help you to be strong so that you will become grown-up Christians and know all that God wants you to do.

bwe@Colossians:4:17 @ Tell Archippus, See that you do all the work which the Lord has given you to do.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, send greetings to the church people in the city of Thessalonica. The people of this church belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May the kindness of God bless you and give you peace. for all of you, and we always talk to him about you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You have shown all the Christians in the countries of Macedonia and Greece how they should live.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We told you to live to please God. He called you to his own kingdom and greatness.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And here is another reason why we always thank God all the time. When you heard Gods word from us, you did not say, That is mens word. But you said, That is Gods word. And it really is Gods word. The word is working in you Christians.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ The Jewish leaders killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets. And they drove us out of their country. They do not please God and they are against all other people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ My brothers, the way you believe has comforted us in all our troubles.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ We want the Lord to help you to stand strong. And then, when the Lord Jesus comes with all Gods people, you will be holy in the eyes of our God and Father. He will see no fault in you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ Do not do wrong to your Christian brother by taking his wife for yourself. The Lord will surely punish all those who do wrong in these things. We have already told you that and made it very clear.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God did not call us to live unclean lives. He wants you to live clean and holy lives.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And you do love all the Christian brothers who are in the whole country of Macedonia. But we beg you, brothers, love them more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You all belong to the light. You belong to the day. We do not belong to the night or to the dark.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Do not let anyone do a wrong thing to a person if that person did a wrong thing to him. Always do good to one another. Be good to each other and to all men.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Talk to God at all times.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ May God himself, who gives peace, make you pure and clean. You are set apart and belong only to him. And may your spirit and soul and body all together be kept free from fault until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ )It is God who calls you, and he can be trusted. He will surely do what he has said.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Greet all the brothers with a kiss that is holy.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ I give you this order from the Lord. Read this letter to all the Christian brothers.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ My brothers, we thank God for you always. It is the right thing to do. You trust him more and more. You all love each other more and more.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ This will happen on the day he comes. On that day his people will show how great and wonderful he is. And all those who have believed in him will be surprised at how great he is. That means you also, because you believed what we told you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ That is why we always talk to God about you. We want our God to make you fit for the good work to which he called you. We ask him to finish his good work of faith which trusts in his power.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ They will all be judged. I mean the people who have not believed in the true message but who wanted to do what is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ God called you to be saved by the good news we brought you. He did this so that you would have some of the honour which the Lord Jesus Christ has.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord gives peace. May he give his peace to you at all times in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write these words of greeting with my own hand. This is the sign in all my letters that I wrote them.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bwe@1Timothy:1:15 @ These are true words and everyone should believe them. Christ Jesus came into the world to save bad people. And I am the worst of all.

bwe@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, I want Gods people to do this. They must talk to God for all the people. They must ask God to help them. They must ask God to give them what they need. They must thank God for all that he gives them.

bwe@1Timothy:2:2 @ They must talk to God for all the kings and all rulers. They must do this so that we may live in peace and quiet, so that we may please God and do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:2:4 @ He wants all people to be saved and to know what is true.

bwe@1Timothy:2:5 @ There is one God. There is also one man who can open the way between God and all people. That man is Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Timothy:2:6 @ He gave his life to set all men free. This matter was told at the right time.

bwe@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not allow any woman to teach or to rule over a man. She must remain quiet.

bwe@1Timothy:3:7 @ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devils trap.

bwe@1Timothy:3:11 @ In the same way, their wives must be women whom people respect. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must be able to control themselves. They must live so that people can trust them in all things.

bwe@1Timothy:3:16 @ Gods plan is very great as we all know. Here it is: we saw God as a man; Gods Spirit proved he was right; angels saw him; the nations were told about him; people of the world believed in him; God took him up into heaven.

bwe@1Timothy:4:4 @ Everything that God has made for food is good. It is all right to eat it if people thank God for it.

bwe@1Timothy:4:8 @ To make the body strong helps a little, but the things of God help us in all ways. The things of God promise us life now and life in heaven.

bwe@1Timothy:4:10 @ That is why we work hard and put up with troubles. We trust in the living God who came to save all people. He makes a way for those who believe in him.

bwe@1Timothy:5:2 @ Talk to the older women like mothers. Talk to the young women like sisters. And be sure to keep a clean mind and heart in all this.

bwe@1Timothy:5:6 @ But a woman who spends her time in pleasing herself is really dead, even while she still lives.

bwe@1Timothy:5:20 @ Talk to those who live a wrong life and tell them to stop it. Talk to them in front of all the church members. Then the others will be afraid to do it.

bwe@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who work for Christian masters should not take life easy just because the person they work for is a Christian. They should work all the better because they are loved by them. Teach these things and tell people to do them.

bwe@1Timothy:6:10 @ Because people love money they do all kinds of wrong things. Some people have stopped believing in God because they want money so much. And it brings them many troubles.

bwe@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you belong to God, Timothy. Have nothing to do with all this. But do what is right. Do what God wants you to do. Believe in Christ. Be loving. Be patient. Be kind.

bwe@1Timothy:6:12 @ Work hard at believing in God more and more. Make sure that you get everlasting life; God called you to have it. You stood before many people and said that you believed in Christ. That was the right thing to say.

bwe@1Timothy:6:13 @ Now we stand before God who gives life to all things. We stand before Christ who said what was right when he was in court before Pontius Pilate. I tell you to do this.

bwe@1Timothy:6:15 @ At the right time God will bring Christ back. Praise God! He alone is ruler. He is King over all kings, and Lord over all lords.

bwe@1Timothy:6:17 @ Tell the rich people in this world not to be proud. Tell them to trust in God not in short-lived riches. He gives us richly all things to make us happy.

bwe@1Timothy:6:19 @ In this way they will store up good things for themselves for the time to come. Then they will get that life which really is the true life.

bwe@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some men have believed these things and have stopped believing in Christ. May God bless all of you.

bwe@2Timothy:1:4 @ I want very much to see you. I remember how you cried when we left you. When I see you, how happy I shall be!

bwe@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember that you really believe. Your grandmother Lois believed first. Your mother Eunice believed too. I am sure that you believe in the same way.

bwe@2Timothy:1:9 @ God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did not do it because of the good things we have done. He did it because he himself planned to do it, and wanted to do it. That was the blessing he gave us in Christ Jesus. He had this plan before he made the world.

bwe@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all the men who live in the country of Asia Minor have left me. Phygellus and Hermogenes are among them.

bwe@2Timothy:1:18 @ I hope the Lord will be kind to him on that great day. You know very well all that he did for me in the city of Ephesus.

bwe@2Timothy:2:10 @ That is why I bear all my trouble for the sake of Gods chosen people. I do it so that they also may be saved by Christ Jesus and be made great for ever.

bwe@2Timothy:2:11 @ These are true words: If we died with Christ, we shall also live with him.

bwe@2Timothy:2:12 @ If we bear all our troubles, we shall also rule with him. If we say we do not know him, then he will also say he does not know us.

bwe@2Timothy:2:19 @ But the truth of God stands strong. It cannot change. These words are sure: The Lord knows the people who belong to him and, Let all those who use the name of the Lord stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are many pots. They are not all made of gold and silver. Some are made of wood, and some of earth. Some are used for fine things and some are used for things that are not so fine.

bwe@2Timothy:2:22 @ Have no part at all in the wrong things that young men like to do. Believe. Have love. Follow what is right. Live at peace. Do these things along with others who have a clean heart and talk to God.

bwe@2Timothy:2:24 @ The Lords servant must not fight. But he must be kind to all people. He must be a good teacher to them. He must be patient with them.

bwe@2Timothy:3:7 @ They are always trying to learn, but never able to find out what is really true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:11 @ You know about my troubles. You know what happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. You know how badly the people treated me. But the Lord brought me safely through it all.

bwe@2Timothy:3:12 @ Yes, all who want to live a good life in Christ Jesus will be troubled by other people.

bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.

bwe@2Timothy:3:17 @ In this way a person who belongs to God has all he needs. He is ready for every kind of good work.

bwe@2Timothy:4:1 @ I say this before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge people who are living and people who are dead. I say this to you because he will come back and rule over all.

bwe@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you, Timothy, must always be watching. Be patient in your troubles. Tell the good news. Do all the work God has given you to do.

bwe@2Timothy:4:8 @ From now on, my reward is waiting for me, because I have done what is right. The Lord will repay me on the day when he comes back. He judges the right way. I will not be the only one to get a reward from him. But he will repay all those who want very much to see him.

bwe@2Timothy:4:13 @ I left a coat with Carpus in Troas. Bring it with you when you come, and also bring the books. But most of all, I want the written papers.

bwe@2Timothy:4:16 @ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.

bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.

bwe@2Timothy:4:21 @ Try to come before the cold time of the year. Eubulus sends you greetings. So do Pudens, Linus, and Claudia and all the Christian brothers.

bwe@Titus:1:14 @ All things are clean to those who have a clean mind. But nothing is clean to those who do wrong things and do not believe. Their minds and their hearts are full of wrong things.

bwe@Titus:2:7 @ Titus, show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do. Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true. Teach in such a way that people will respect you.

bwe@Titus:2:10 @ They must not steal, but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them. In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good.

bwe@Titus:2:11 @ Gods loving kindness has come. It is through that blessing that all men are saved.

bwe@Titus:2:13 @ All this is while we wait and hope to see the one who brings blessing. We are waiting for our great God to come in Jesus Christ. He is the One who will save us. He is wonderful!

bwe@Titus:2:14 @ Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.

bwe@Titus:2:15 @ Talk about these things. Tell people they must do them. And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong. Do not let anyone despise you.

bwe@Titus:3:12 @ Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos on their way. Give them all they need.

bwe@Titus:3:13 @ Our people should learn to spend their time in doing good things to help people who are poor. In that way, our people will not waste their time. Greet those who believe as we do and who love us. God bless you all.

bwe@Philemon:1:5 @ I have heard that you love all of Gods people and that you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:24 @ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are working with me. They all send greetings too.

bwe@Hebrews:1:2 @ In these last days, he talked to us through his Son. God chose him to be the one to whom he would give all things. God also made the world by this Son.

bwe@Hebrews:1:6 @ When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he says, All of Gods angels must worship him.

bwe@Hebrews:1:11 @ These things will come to an end, but you will live on. They will all wear out like clothes.

bwe@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all the angels spirits that help? They are sent out to help the people who will be saved.

bwe@Hebrews:2:11 @ Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy, all have one Father in heaven. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers.

bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @ Gods children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.

bwe@Hebrews:2:15 @ People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.

bwe@Hebrews:3:1 @ My brothers, you are holy. You are also called to go to heaven. Take time to think carefully about Jesus. God sent him. He is the high priest we believe in.

bwe@Hebrews:3:4 @ Every house is built by someone, but God is the one who builds all things.

bwe@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses did what he was told to do as a servant in all of Gods house. He showed things that God would say later.

bwe@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were the people who heard him and yet made him very angry? It was all the people whom Moses led out of the country of Egypt.

bwe@Hebrews:4:4 @ Here is what he said, somewhere in the holy writings, about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after doing all his work.

bwe@Hebrews:4:7 @ So he chose another day called Today. He spoke through David many years later, who said, Today, when you hear his voice, do not make your hearts hard.

bwe@Hebrews:5:4 @ No one chooses himself to be high priest. But God calls him, just as he called Aaron.

bwe@Hebrews:5:7 @ When Jesus was a man, he talked to God who was able to save him from death. He called loudly to him with tears. God heard him because he honoured and respected God.

bwe@Hebrews:5:9 @ When he became perfect, he saved for ever all who obeyed him.

bwe@Hebrews:5:10 @ God called him a high priest like Melchizedek was a priest.

bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:7:1 @ Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem. He was a priest of God who is the greatest of all. Melchizedek met Abraham when Abraham came back from killing some bad kings. And Melchizedek blessed him.

bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham divided all that he took away from the kings into ten parts. He gave Melchizedek one part. First, the name Melchizedek means the king who is true and right with God. Then he was king of Salem. That means king of peace.

bwe@Hebrews:7:4 @ Just think how great he was! Even Abraham, the father of our people, gave him a tenth, one part out of ten, of all he brought back.

bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.

bwe@Hebrews:8:7 @ If the first agreement had been all right, there would have been no need to make another.

bwe@Hebrews:9:2 @ A house was made. In the first part of the house were the light, the table, and the bread of God. This first part was called the Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:3 @ The next part of the house was called the Most Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:4 @ In the Most Holy Place was a pan made of gold. In this pan a fire could burn to make a sweet-smelling smoke. The box of the agreement was also in the Most Holy Place. It was covered all over with gold. In this box were: the golden pot, which had some of the food God sent from heaven for the people in the desert; Aarons stick which grew flowers on it; and the stones which had Gods agreement written on them.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:19 @ Moses told all the people every part of the law. Then he took the blood of young cows and goats. He put some of the blood on the book of the law itself and on all the people. He took water and red wool and a plant called hyssop.

bwe@Hebrews:9:21 @ In the same way, he put some of the blood on the house he had made for God, and on all the things that were used in worship.

bwe@Hebrews:10:1 @ The law can show only a little about the good things that are coming. It cannot show the good things themselves. People come to worship God. But the law can never make them all right by the same sacrifices that are brought every year.

bwe@Hebrews:10:2 @ If the law could make people all right, they would stop making sacrifices. The people who come to worship would be made clean for all time, and they would not remember the wrong things they had done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:14 @ By one sacrifice Christ has made right for ever all those people who are being made holy.

bwe@Hebrews:10:20 @ He made a new and living way for us. He opened up Gods way specially for us. It lets us through the big curtain or cloth which hides God from us. This happened when Jesus gave his body as a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:10:22 @ So let us come to him with a true heart. Let us come because we believe all these things. Let us come with our hearts washed clean from our wrong ways. Let us come with our bodies washed with clean water.

bwe@Hebrews:10:25 @ Do not stop going to church meetings. Some people do stop. But help each other to be strong. You must do it all the more as you see the Great Day coming closer.

bwe@Hebrews:10:29 @ But the person who should have much bigger punishment is the one who turns against the Son of God. That person was made holy by the blood of the new agreement and then calls it nothing. He no longer honours and respects the Spirit who has been so kind to him.

bwe@Hebrews:11:6 @ If a person does not believe God, he cannot please him. Anyone who comes to God must believe that God is real. And he must believe that God will bless those who try to find him. God will reward a person, if he really tries to find God.

bwe@Hebrews:11:8 @ God called Abraham to go away to a place which he would have as his own. Because Abraham believed God, he obeyed him. He went even though he did not know where he was to go.

bwe@Hebrews:11:13 @ These people all died still believing God. They did not get the things God had promised them. But they saw them far away and were glad to see them. They said they did not belong to this world, but were only travelling in it.

bwe@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they want a better country. They want a place in heaven. That is why God wants to be called their God. He has made a city ready for them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:18 @ God had said to Abraham, Isaacs children will be called your family.

bwe@Hebrews:11:24 @ Moses believed God. When he was grown up, he did not want to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter.

bwe@Hebrews:11:30 @ The people believed God and walked around the walls of the city of Jericho for seven days. The walls fell down.

bwe@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women had children who died and were raised to life again. Some people allowed themselves to be beaten to death. They would not go free because they wanted to rise again to a better life.

bwe@Hebrews:11:38 @ They were really too good to be in this world. They walked about in the desert and in the mountains, and in the holes in the hills and in the holes among the rocks on the earth.

bwe@Hebrews:11:39 @ All of these people had good things said about them because they believed God. But they did not get what God had promised.

bwe@Hebrews:12:1 @ We have all these people all around us, proving to us that we should believe God. So then, like people running a race, we must take off everything that is heavy. We must put off all wrong, wrong things that get in our way. We must not stop running until we reach the mark that has been put in front of us.

bwe@Hebrews:12:14 @ Try to be at peace with all people. And try to be holy. If a person is not holy, he will not see the Lord.

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:21 @ Moses was afraid when he saw all this. He said, I fear very much and I tremble.

bwe@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to a hill called Zion. You have come to the city of the living God. It is the Jerusalem in heaven. You have come to many thousands of angels in a happy gathering.

bwe@Hebrews:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.

bwe@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not listen to all kinds of different teaching and strange things. It is better to have a heart that is strong because of Gods blessing than a heart that is thinking about different kinds of food. Different kinds of food do not help people who put their trust in them.

bwe@Hebrews:13:15 @ Let us always give a sacrifice of praise to God through Jesus. We do it by thanking him for all that he has done and also by talking about him. That is the sacrifice we make with our lips to his name.

bwe@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all your leaders and all of Gods people. Those who belong to the country of Italy send you greetings.

bwe@Hebrews:13:25 @ May Gods loving kindness be with you all. Amen! May it be so!

bwe@James:1:1 @ I am James. I am a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I send greetings to all of Gods people wherever they live.

bwe@James:1:4 @ But you must keep on being strong to take trouble. Then you will be all right in every way. You will not need anything more.

bwe@James:1:5 @ If any of you need to be wise, ask God to make you wise. He gives plenty of wisdom to all people. He is not angry because you ask him. He will make you wise.

bwe@James:1:11 @ The sun shines and is very hot. Then the grass dries and its flower falls off. It was nice at first, but now it is not nice any more. In the same way, the rich man will die while he is going around trying to make money.

bwe@James:1:17 @ Every good thing and every fine gift comes from heaven. It comes from the Father of all light. He does not change and he makes no shadow by turning.

bwe@James:1:18 @ He made us his children because he wanted us. He made us his children by giving us his true word. He made us his children so that we would be the first and best of all he made.

bwe@James:1:21 @ So stop all your dirty living. Stop doing so many wrong things. Listen quietly to the word that has been put in your hearts. It is able to save you.

bwe@James:1:25 @ But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free from their old ways. Anyone who looks into that law and remembers it, is happy because he obeys the law. He does not just listen to the law and forget it, but he obeys what the law says.

bwe@James:2:10 @ Anyone who obeys the law, but then breaks one of the laws, has broken all the laws.

bwe@James:2:16 @ Perhaps one of you says to them, God bless you. Be warm. Eat all you want. But what good is that if you do not give them what they need for their bodies?

bwe@James:2:21 @ Look at Abraham. God called our father Abraham a good man. This was because he gave his son Isaac to God on the holy table for a sacrifice.

bwe@James:2:22 @ You can see he believed. His faith and the things he did worked together. His believing was made all right because he did something.

bwe@James:2:23 @ The words of the holy writings came true. They say, Abraham believed God. And he was called a good man because of it. In another place he was called Gods friend.

bwe@James:2:25 @ Rahab was a bad woman. But in the same way God called her a good woman because of something she did. She took the men into her house and then let them go out another way.

bwe@James:3:2 @ We all do many wrong things. Any man who never says anything wrong is right in every way. He is able to make his whole body do what is right.

bwe@James:3:4 @ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.

bwe@James:3:5 @ A persons tongue is like that. It is a small part of the body but it talks about big things. A very small fire can burn a big pile of wood!

bwe@James:3:7 @ People have been able to tame all kinds of animals, birds, snakes, and fish.

bwe@James:3:17 @ First of all, when God makes people wise, they are holy. They do not fight. They are gentle. They listen to what other people say. They are very kind and do many good things. They do not quarrel. They do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:4:16 @ But now you talk about the big things you will do. All that kind of talk is wrong!

bwe@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are all spoiled. The wrong in them will prove that you have done wrong. The wrong will burn you up like fire. You have kept all these things and now time is almost ended.

bwe@James:5:4 @ Listen! Men worked in your fields to cut your grain and you did not pay them! That money shouts against you. The men who cut your harvest have called out to the Lord who has power and he has heard them.

bwe@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? He should call for the leaders of the church people. They should talk to God about him and put oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bwe@1Peter:1:4 @ Because we are Gods children, one day we shall receive special blessings. They cannot be spoiled in any way, and they will last for ever. They are kept safe in heaven for you.

bwe@1Peter:1:7 @ To believe is worth more than to have gold. Gold can spoil, but it is tested by fire to show that it is good. So troubles test you to prove that you believe. Then, because you really believe, you will be praised and made great and have honour when Jesus Christ comes again.

bwe@1Peter:1:13 @ So think clearly. Keep awake. When Jesus Christ comes, he will bring you blessing. Set all your hope on that.

bwe@1Peter:1:15 @ But be holy in all the things you do. Be holy because the one who has called you is holy.

bwe@1Peter:1:17 @ You call God your Father. He does not think one man is better than another. He judges everyone by what he has done. So then you must fear him as you live your life here on earth.

bwe@1Peter:1:22 @ You have obeyed what is true and that has made your hearts clean. And now you really love your Christian brothers. So with your clean hearts, love each other very much.

bwe@1Peter:1:24 @ The holy writings say, People may be great. But they are like a flower on the grass. The grass dies and the flower falls off.

bwe@1Peter:2:1 @ So stop all the wrong things you do. Stop all the ways you cheat people. Stop fooling people. Stop being jealous. Stop saying wrong things about people.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:12 @ Obey every officer of the government to please the Lord. Obey the king because he is over all.

bwe@1Peter:2:16 @ Respect all men. Love your Christian brothers. Fear God. Respect the king.

bwe@1Peter:2:17 @ Servants, respect and obey your masters in all things. Obey not only those who are good to you. But also obey those who are hard on you.

bwe@1Peter:2:20 @ You have been called to do this because Christ also was punished for you. He showed you what you should do. So do as he did.

bwe@1Peter:3:6 @ Sarah obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. You are her children if you do what is right and are not afraid of trouble.

bwe@1Peter:3:8 @ Here is one thing more. You must all agree. You must care when others have trouble. You must love your Christian brothers. You must be kind. You must not be proud.

bwe@1Peter:3:9 @ You must not do wrong things to those who do wrong things to you. You must not say wrong things to those who say wrong things to you. But ask God to bless those people. This is what you have been called to do. Then God will bless you.

bwe@1Peter:3:17 @ It is better to have trouble for doing right, if God allows it, than to have trouble for doing wrong.

bwe@1Peter:4:10 @ God has given each person a gift. That gift is something he can do. Each one should use his gift to help the others. In that way you all make good use of the many blessings God has given you.

bwe@1Peter:4:11 @ Has God blessed you by knowing how to talk? Then you should talk the words of God. Are you a helper? Then you should help with the strength God has given you. In all that you do, you should show that God is great through Jesus Christ. He has praise and power for ever. Yes, he has!

bwe@1Peter:4:19 @ If God allows you to suffer, trust him. He made you and you can trust him. But keep on doing good things.

bwe@1Peter:5:4 @ Christ the big Shepherd who takes care of all people is coming. When he comes, he will give you a crown to show that you are great. You will have it for ever.

bwe@1Peter:5:5 @ Also, you who are younger men, obey your leaders. I say to all of you, do not be proud. Do not think you are better than the others. The holy writings say, God fights against proud people, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@1Peter:5:7 @ Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.

bwe@1Peter:5:9 @ Fight against the devil. Be strong because you believe. Remember that your brothers all over the world suffer the same kind of trouble as you.

bwe@1Peter:5:10 @ God gives all blessings. He has called you through Christ to be great with him for ever. When you have suffered for a short time, he will make you all right. He will make you strong and steady.

bwe@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. May all of you who are Christians have peace.

bwe@2Peter:1:3 @ Christ is God and by his own power he has given us everything that we need to live and to please God. He has given this to us because we know him, and he has called us because he is great and good.

bwe@2Peter:1:10 @ So my brothers, try to show that God has called you and chosen you. If you do these things, you will never fall.

bwe@2Peter:2:10 @ Most of all, he will punish people who do the wrong things they want to do and who will not obey the men who rule over them. They are very bold and proud. They do not fear to say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

bwe@2Peter:3:9 @ God will do what he promised. He is not slow though, as some people think he is. But he is waiting a long time for you. He does not want anyone to die, but he wants all people to stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Peter:3:14 @ My dear brothers, you are looking for these things. So do all you can so that the Lord will find you without any bad or wrong thing in your lives. Let him find you at peace with one another.

bwe@2Peter:3:16 @ He also tells about them in all his letters. Some things in his letters are hard to understand. Some people do not know about these things and they are not strong in their faith. They change the meaning of the things Paul wrote. They do this to other things in the holy writings also. Because they do this, they will die.

bwe@1John:1:4 @ We write these things to you so that we all will be very happy.

bwe@1John:1:5 @ God is like light and he is not dark at all. That is the message we heard from him. That is the message we are telling you.

bwe@1John:1:7 @ Do we live in the light, as God is in the light? Then we belong with others who belong to him. And the blood of the death of Jesus Christ makes us clean from all the wrong things we have done.

bwe@1John:1:9 @ Let us tell God about our wrong ways. God can be trusted. He does what is right. He will forgive us for the wrong things we have done. He will make us clean from all that was wrong.

bwe@1John:2:2 @ He himself is the sacrifice God offered to pay for the wrong we have done. And he pays for the wrong things all people in all the world have done.

bwe@1John:2:5 @ But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.

bwe@1John:2:16 @ Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.

bwe@1John:2:17 @ And the world will go away and all the things in it that people like to do. But the person who does what God wants him to do will live for ever.

bwe@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.

bwe@1John:2:20 @ But the Holy One has given you a gift of understanding so that you all may know what is true.

bwe@1John:3:1 @ See how much the Father has loved us! We are called Gods children. It is true, we are Gods children. People in this world did not know him and so they do not know us.

bwe@1John:3:2 @ My dear brothers, we are Gods children now. No one knows yet what we shall be like. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like him. We will see him as he really is.

bwe@1John:3:18 @ My children, we must not only talk about loving people; we must show we love people by what we do for them. We must really love them.

bwe@1John:5:8 @ There are three on earth who prove it is true. They are the spirit, the water, and the blood. These three all prove the same thing.

bwe@2John:1:1 @ From the leader of the church people. I send greetings to the lady whom God has chosen, and to her children. I love you all because you have the truth about Christ. I am not the only one who loves you. All those who know the truth, love you also.

bwe@2John:1:8 @ Watch out for yourselves! Do not lose what you have worked for, but receive all the reward that you should have.

bwe@3John:1:2 @ My dear brother, I ask God that you may be all right in every way and that your body may be well. I know that your soul is all right.

bwe@3John:1:3 @ I was very happy when the brothers came and told me that you have been true. They said you are really living the right way.

bwe@3John:1:8 @ So if I come, I will show what he is doing. He is saying wrong things about us. And that is not all. He does not take our brothers into his own home. And he stops other people who want to take them in. He will not let them be church members any longer.

bwe@3John:1:10 @ Everyone says Demetrius is a good man. All this is true. We say the same thing too. And you know that what we say is true.

bwe@Jude:1:1 @ I am Jude. I am a servant of Jesus Christ and I am a brother of James. I send greetings to you whom God the Father has called. He has loved you and kept you safe for Jesus Christ.

bwe@Jude:1:3 @ My dear brothers, I wanted very much to write to you and tell you how we all are saved. But then I saw that I must write and tell you to hold very strongly to what you do believe. Fight against those who want to change it. The right way to believe has been given to Gods people once for all times.

bwe@Jude:1:5 @ You know all these things for all times. But I want to bring them to your minds. First, the Lord saved his people from the country of Egypt. At a time after that, he killed those who did not believe in him.

bwe@Jude:1:13 @ These men are like big waves on the sea. Big waves cause much trouble. And these men also show the wrong things they do. They are like stars that have fallen from their place in the sky. A very dark place has been kept for ever in which to put these men.

bwe@Jude:1:15 @ He came to judge all people and to punish all the bad people for all the wrong things they have done. And he came to punish bad people for all the wrong things that they have said against him.

bwe@Jude:1:24 @ God can keep you from doing anything wrong. He can bring you to the place where he is great and you will be all good. You will be very happy.
