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:1:3 @ The good news was about his Son. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He was a man born in Davids family.
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:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:2:16 @ This will be on the day when God judges the things men have kept secret. Jesus Christ will be the judge. That is part of the good news I tell people.
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:3:24 @ But God is kind and makes them right with himself. It is a gift. He does it because Christ Jesus paid the price to set them free.
bwe@Romans:3:28 @ We know that if a person believes in Christ, God makes him right again. It is not because that person has obeyed the law.
bwe@Romans:5:1 @ We are made good people and put right with God when we believe in Jesus Christ. So now we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ did.
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:5:6 @ We could not help ourselves. So at the right time, Christ died to save us bad people.
bwe@Romans:5:8 @ God shows his love for us in this way: Christ died to save us while we were bad people.
bwe@Romans:5:9 @ The blood of Christ has now put us right with God. So even more, he will save us from Gods strong anger.
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:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.
bwe@Romans:5:17 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so death ruled over people because of that one man. God has been kind to people and given them his free gift. That gift is to make people right with God. People who take that gift will live and rule because of one man, Jesus Christ.
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:5:21 @ The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now Gods blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.
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:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
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:6:8 @ If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
bwe@Romans:6:9 @ We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.
bwe@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must think you are dead, and stop your wrong ways. And you must think you are living for God along with Christ Jesus our Lord.
bwe@Romans:6:23 @ The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.
bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.
bwe@Romans:8:1 @ So now those who belong to Christ Jesus will not be judged.
bwe@Romans:8:2 @ The Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of wrong things, and the law of death.
bwe@Romans:8:9 @ Does Gods Spirit live in you? If he does, then you are not living the way the body wants, but you are living the way the Spirit wants. If anyone does not have Christs Spirit, he does not belong to Christ.
bwe@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of the wrong things you have done. But your spirits live because you have been made right with God.
bwe@Romans:8:11 @ God raised Christ Jesus from death. Does Gods Spirit live in you? Then God will also give life to your bodies which die. He does this through his Spirit who lives in you.
bwe@Romans:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.
bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.
bwe@Romans:8:35 @ Who can take us away from Christs love? We may have trouble. We may have hard times. People may make us suffer because we believe. We may have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. We may be in danger. We may be killed with big knives. Can any of these things take us away from Christs love?
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:9:1 @ What I say is true and Christ knows it is. I do not tell a lie. My heart tells me it is true. And the Holy Spirit knows this.
bwe@Romans:9:2 @ I am very sad. I am always troubled. 3I could almost wish I were taken away from Christ for the sake of my brothers, the people of my own nation.
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:10:4 @ Christ has made an end to the law as a way of getting right with God. Everyone who believes in him is put right with God.
bwe@Romans:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)
bwe@Romans:10:7 @ Do not say, "Who will go down into the hole that has no bottom?" (That means, Who will go down to bring Christ up from the dead people?)
bwe@Romans:10:9 @ If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from death, you will be saved.
bwe@Romans:10:17 @ So people believe because they hear. They hear because people tell them about Christ.
bwe@Romans:11:28 @ The Jews make themselves enemies of God because they do not want the good news of Jesus Christ. That helps you since the good news has then come to you. But God still loves the Jews because of the promise he made to their fathers long ago.
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:13:14 @ But you must take the Lord Jesus Christ into your hearts. And do not plan to do the wrong things your bodies want to do.
bwe@Romans:14:9 @ Christ wanted to be Lord, both of dead people and of living people. That is why he died and lived again.
bwe@Romans:14:14 @ As a Christian, I know and believe that nothing in itself is not right to eat. But it is not right for anyone to eat who thinks it is not right to eat.
bwe@Romans:14:15 @ Does what you eat trouble your brother? If it does, you are no longer living in love. Do not destroy the faith of someone because of what you eat. Christ died for him.
bwe@Romans:14:18 @ A person who does the work of Christ in this way pleases God. And people like him.
bwe@Romans:15:3 @ Christ did not please himself. But the holy writings say, I took upon myself the wrong things that people said against you.
bwe@Romans:15:5 @ God gives people power to take their troubles and he comforts their hearts. I ask him to help you to think the same way as Christ did.
bwe@Romans:15:6 @ Then, together you will praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@Romans:15:7 @ So, accept one another, as Christ has accepted you. Then people will know that God is great.
bwe@Romans:15:8 @ What I say is this. Christ came to serve the Jews. He did this to prove that what God said was true. He proved that God kept his promises to the fathers.
bwe@Romans:15:16 @ I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the people who are not Jews. I am like a priest to them, to tell them Gods good news. Then I offer the people to God. That pleases God. They have been accepted by him and made holy by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Romans:15:17 @ So, because of Christ Jesus, I am proud of my work for God.
bwe@Romans:15:18 @ I will speak only of what Christ has done through me. People who are not Jews have obeyed the good news. They have obeyed because of what I told them and because of what I did.
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:15:20 @ I have wanted to tell the good news where people have not heard the name of Christ. I did not want to work where another man had started to work.
bwe@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I will bring great blessings from Christ.
bwe@Romans:15:30 @ My brothers, I ask you to do this for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit has given you love. Talk to God for me. And I also will talk to him.
bwe@Romans:16:2 @ I want you to take her in because she is a Christian. That is what Gods people should do. Help her in any way she needs help. She has helped many people and has helped me too.
bwe@Romans:16:3 @ I send greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, who worked with me for Christ Jesus.
bwe@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings also to dear Epaenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to believe in Christ.
bwe@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junia. They belong to my family. We were in prison together. The apostles think they are good men. They were Christians before I was.
bwe@Romans:16:8 @ Give my greetings to Amplias. I love him because he is a Christian.
bwe@Romans:16:9 @ Give my greetings to Urbanus. He worked with us for Christ. Give my greetings to dear Stachys also.
bwe@Romans:16:10 @ Give my greetings to Apelles. He has proved himself to be a Christian. Give my greetings to the family of Aristobulus.
bwe@Romans:16:11 @ Give my greetings to Herodion. He belongs to my family. Give my greetings to the family of Narcissus. They are Christians.
bwe@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Christian churches send greetings to you.
bwe@Romans:16:18 @ Those people do not work for our Lord Jesus Christ. They work only for themselves. With their words of praise they fool people who do not know what is wrong.
bwe@Romans:16:20 @ God gives peace. He will soon crush Satan under your feet. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
bwe@Romans:16:22 @ (I, Tertius, send you Christian greetings. I am writing this letter for Paul.)
bwe@Romans:16:24 @ I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to show you his loving kindness. He will!
bwe@Romans:16:25 @ Praise God! He is able to make you stand firm. That is the good news that I tell. That is what the message about Jesus Christ says. The message was kept secret for a long time in the past. But it has now been made known.
bwe@Romans:16:27 @ God is the only one who is wise. Praise him for ever because of Jesus Christ. Yes, it is so!
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:1:3 @ May God show you his kindness and peace which come from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God for the blessings he has given you through Jesus Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:6 @ Christ has done for you just what he promised to do.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:7 @ You have every blessing you need while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:8 @ And right to the end Jesus Christ will surely keep you safe. Then no one will find anything wrong about you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
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:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul nailed to the cross for you? No! Were you baptized in Pauls name? No!
bwe@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize people, but he sent me to tell the good news. I must not tell it with the clever words of this world. That would not show what the death of Christ on a cross truly means.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we tell people about Christ who died on a cross. The leaders of the Jews do not like this, and those who are not Jews laugh at it.
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:1:30 @ You are Gods children through Christ Jesus. Christ came from God and made us wise. He put us right with God. He made us holy. He set us free from our wrong ways.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I made up my mind that I would talk about only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on a cross.
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:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:11 @ Jesus Christ himself is the foundation. No one can make another one.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God!
bwe@1Corinthians:4:1 @ People should look at us as men who are servants of Christ. We take care of the secret things of God.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christs sake! But you think Christ has made you wise. We are weak, but you are strong! You have glory, we have shame!
bwe@1Corinthians:4:15 @ Even if you have ten thousand people to take care of you as Christians, yet you do not have many fathers. I am your Christian father because I brought you the good news.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:17 @ That is why I am sending Timothy to you. I love Timothy very much. He is my Christian son. I can trust him. He will tell you again my Christian ways of living. I teach these same ways in every church meeting everywhere.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:4 @ Do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you meet together my spirit will be with you. Then, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, give this man over to Satan. Let Satan punish his body. By this the mans spirit may yet be saved when the Lord Jesus comes.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I did not mean the people of the world <FI>people who are not Christians<Fi> -some of them use sex the wrong way; or always want more things; or steal; or worship idols. To keep away from them altogether would mean you would have to go out of the world.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:10 @ But I wrote to you not to be friends with anyone who says he is a Christian and uses wrong sex, or always wants more, or has idols, or curses, or drinks too much strong drink, or steals. I told you not even to sit down to eat with such a person.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has some complaint against a Christian brother, why does he take him to be judged by those who are not Christians? Why does he not take him to Gods people?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:5 @ Shame on you! Are none of you wise enough to judge between two Christian brothers?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But now one Christian brother takes another Christian brother to be judged by people who are not Christians.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you are doing wrong to your own Christian brothers.
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:7:12 @ Here is what I say to other people. (This is my word, not the Lords.) Perhaps a Christian brother has a wife who is not a Christian. If she wants to stay with him, then he should not send her away.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:13 @ Perhaps a woman has a husband who is not a Christian. If he wants to stay with her, then the woman should not leave him.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.
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:7:22 @ 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:7:39 @ A wife may not leave her husband as long as he is living. But if he dies, she is free to marry any man she wants. Only this, he must be a Christian.
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:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.
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:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:11 @ You know the truth, and yet your knowledge will make your weak brother do wrong. You have hurt the faith of a brother, for whom Christ died.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have the right to have a Christian wife with us as do the other apostles, and the brothers of our Lord, and Cephas?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If it is right for other teachers to receive something from you, then we have more of a right to receive it. But we did not use our right. Instead, we do anything we can so that we will not stop the good news of Christ from going out.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:19 @ Even though I am no ones slave, yet I have made myself a slave to everyone. I have done this so that I might win more people to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.
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: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:10:16 @ 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:11:1 @ Do as I do, for I am doing as Christ did.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So, my Christian brothers, when you come together to eat the Lords supper, wait on your turn.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now, my Christian brothers, I want you to know something about the gifts given by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:12 @ A person has only one body, and the body has many parts. It is the same with Christ.
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:15:3 @ I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that, more than five hundred Christian brothers saw him at one time. Most of them are still living, but some have died.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:12 @ You have been told that Christ was raised from death. How can some of you say that dead people do not rise again?
bwe@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If dead people do not rise, Christ did not rise.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ did not rise, then what we told you was not true, and what you believe is not true.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:15 @ If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:16 @ If dead people are not raised, then Christ was not raised either.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ was not raised, then what you believe is no good. Your wrong ways have not been forgiven.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:18 @ If that were true, then the people who believed in Christ who have now died, are lost.
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:15:23 @ But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.
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:15:31 @ I face death every day! That is true. Just the way it is true that I am proud of you, my brothers. I am proud that you belong to Christ Jesus.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:45 @ The holy writings say, The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam <FI>Christ<Fi> is a Spirit who gives life.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:56 @ But I thank God that he gives us power to stop being wrong through our Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The people in the churches of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla and the Christians who meet in their house send you many Christian greetings.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the Christian brothers send you greetings. Greet each other with a holy kiss.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:22 @ Anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, should be cut off from God. Come soon, Lord!
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:1:2 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with their loving kindness and peace. Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is a very, very kind Father to us. He is a God who always comforts and helps people.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:4 @ We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Silvanus and Timothy and I told you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His word was not Yes and No. It was always Yes.
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:1:19 @ It is God who makes us stand strong with you in Christ. God has chosen us and put his mark on us.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:9 @ Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. And if I have had anything to forgive, I have already forgiven it for your sakes, just as if we were standing before Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:10 @ I have done this so that Satan will not get ahead of us. We know his tricks. of Troas to tell the good news of Christ, the door was open for me to work for the Lord.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:12 @ We are like a sweet smell to God. It is the smell of Christ we have. We have this sweet smell among the people who are saved and among those who are lost.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:14 @ We are not like some people. They tell Gods message to make money. But we tell it with a true heart just as God told it to us. We tell it as if we stood before God. And we tell it with Christs help.
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:3:4 @ We can say this because we trust in God. And we trust in God because of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were made dull. Even today, when the old law of God is read, it is as if a cloth still covers it. It is Christ who takes the cloth away.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:4 @ The god of this world has covered their minds so they cannot see. They cannot see with their minds the light of the good news of Christ. They cannot see how bright and wonderful Christ is. He is just like God himself.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:5 @ We do not talk about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are your slaves for Jesus sake.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:6 @ God said, Let light shine in the darkness. And he has let light shine in our hearts too. He gave us light that shows how bright and wonderful God is. We see this light when we look at the face of Christ.
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:5:13 @ 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:5:15 @ So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So, if any man belongs to Christ, he is a new person. His old life has gone. You see, he has begun a new life.
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:5:18 @ God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.
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:5:20 @ Christ did no wrong thing. But for our sake God put the blame for our wrong ways on Christ. So now God sees us as good, because we are in Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:14 @ How can Christ agree with Belial, the devil? How can a person who believes work with a person who does not believe?
bwe@2Corinthians:8:9 @ You know how much love our Lord Jesus Christ had. He was rich, but he became poor for your sakes. Because he became poor, you can become rich.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:21 @ I want to say this. Titus is my close friend and he works with me. And about our other brothers, they have been sent by the churches. They bring praise to Christ.
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:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, beg you to do something since you know that Christ was kind and gentle. You say I am weak when I am face to face with you, but when I am not with you, then I speak to you with hard words.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We can break down what people think and every big idea that tries to stop people from knowing God. And we can make every thought a prisoner to obey Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Surely you can see this. If one person is sure that he belongs to Christ, then he should see that we too belong to Christ just as he does.
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:11:2 @ I love you as God loves you. I see you as a woman who has not been married and I am giving you to be the wife of a husband. That husband is Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:10 @ Surely, the true word of Christ is in me. I will never stop being proud of this anywhere in Achaia <FI>Greece<Fi>.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:13 @ Men like that are not true apostles. They work to fool people. They try to make themselves look like apostles of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they workers for Christ? (I talk like one who is not in his right mind.) I am a better worker. I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have been beaten many, many times. Often I have almost died.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:31 @ God knows I am not telling lies. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and he is to be praised forever. 32In the city of Damascus a man ruled for king Aretas. He had the gates of the city guarded because he wanted to catch me.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man. Fourteen years ago he was taken up into the place where God lives. I do not know if he was in his body when he went or not. God knows if he was.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.
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:12:18 @ 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:13:3 @ This will be the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you. No, he shows his power among you.
bwe@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Look at yourselves and check to see if you still believe. Test yourselves. Do you not know Jesus Christ is in you? If he is not in you, you do not pass the test.
bwe@2Corinthians:13:10 @ That is why I am writing these things to you the way I am, before I reach you. Then, when I come to you, I do not want to be hard on you. I do not want to use the power which the Lord has given me. He gave it to me to help to make you better Christians, not to break you down.
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:1:3 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with his loving kindness and give you peace.
bwe@Galatians:1:4 @ Christ gave his life to pay for the wrong things we have done. He did this to set us free from the wrong ways of this world. This is what our God and Father wanted him to do.
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:1:10 @ Now, am I trying to please men or God? If I were still trying to please men, then I would not be the servant of Christ.
bwe@Galatians:1:12 @ No man told it to me. No man taught it to me. But it was Jesus Christ who showed it to me.
bwe@Galatians:1:22 @ At that time the churches of Christ in Judea did not know me. They had never seen me.
bwe@Galatians:2:4 @ But some men got in who were not true brothers. They came in secretly to spy on us to find out things about us. They did not want us to be free the way Christ Jesus has made us free. But they wanted to make us obey the old laws again <FI>which were given to Moses by God<Fi>.
bwe@Galatians:2:10 @ One thing they asked us to do was to help the poor Christians. I was very glad to do this.
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:2:16 @ 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:2:17 @ We came to Christ to be put right with God. That showed us how much we had been bad men. Was it Christ who made us bad men? No, surely not!
bwe@Galatians:2:20 @ I died when Christ died on a cross. I do not live now, but Christ lives in me. Now while I still live in my body, I live by believing in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.
bwe@Galatians:2:21 @ So I do not make the love of God useless. But if a person can be made good by the law, then Christ died for nothing.
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:3:13 @ Christ has saved us from the curse which the law put on us. He took the curse on himself. It should have been on us. The holy writings say, A curse be on everyone who hangs on a tree!
bwe@Galatians:3:14 @ Christ Jesus did this so that those who are not Jews will have the blessing which Abraham had. He did this so that when we believe, we will receive the Spirit who was promised to us.
bwe@Galatians:3:16 @ God made his promises to Abraham and to his Son. The promise does not have the words, and to his sons, for that means many sons. But it says, and to his Son, and that Son is Christ.
bwe@Galatians:3:22 @ But the holy writings say it is like this. The whole world is in prison, kept there by the wrong things they have done. This was done so that people who believe in Jesus Christ would have the blessing. This blessing was promised to those who believe.
bwe@Galatians:3:24 @ The law watched over us, as if we were children, until Christ came. Then God would put us right with himself through faith in Christ.
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:3:29 @ If you belong to Christ, you are Abrahams children. And if you are Abrahams children, you will receive the blessing that God has promised.
bwe@Galatians:4:14 @ My sickness troubled you. But you did not think wrongly of me or turn away from me. You received me as if I were an angel from God, as if I were Christ Jesus.
bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.
bwe@Galatians:4:19 @ My dear children, I feel pain for you again, like a mother when her child is being born. I will feel pain until Christ lives in your heart.
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:5:4 @ 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:5:5 @ But we hope to be made right by believing in Christ. The Spirit helps us to do this.
bwe@Galatians:5:6 @ So if a man belongs to Christ Jesus, it does not matter if he is circumcised or not. He must show by his love that he believes.
bwe@Galatians:5:11 @ My brothers, am I still telling people to be circumcised? If I am, why are people still troubling me? If it were true, the cross of Christ, which they do not like, has lost its power.
bwe@Galatians:5:23 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have stopped doing the wrong things they want to do. They have stopped them just as if they were killed on a cross. And they have even stopped wanting to do them.
bwe@Galatians:6:2 @ Help each other in your troubles. In that way you obey Christs law.
bwe@Galatians:6:12 @ Some people want to do things that can be seen. They try to force you to be circumcised. They want to hide from trouble which would come to them if they talk about the cross of Christ.
bwe@Galatians:6:14 @ But I will not be proud of anything but of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of it, the things of the world have become dead to me, and I have become dead to the world.
bwe@Galatians:6:18 @ My brothers, may the kindness and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ bless your spirit. May he do it!
bwe@Ephesians:1:1 @ I am Paul, an apostle of Jesus
