mkjv@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated to the gospel of God

mkjv@Romans:1:2 @ (which He had promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures),

mkjv@Romans:1:3 @ about His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh,

mkjv@Romans:1:4 @ who was marked out the Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from [the] dead;

mkjv@Romans:1:5 @ by whom we have received grace and apostleship, to obedience to the faith among all nations, for His name;

mkjv@Romans:1:6 @ among whom you also are the called-out ones of Jesus Christ:

mkjv@Romans:1:7 @ to all those who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be] saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

mkjv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you

mkjv@Romans:1:10 @ always in my prayers, making request if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

mkjv@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to you for the establishing of you.

mkjv@Romans:1:12 @ And this is to be comforted together with you by our mutual faith, both yours and mine.

mkjv@Romans:1:13 @ But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, and was kept back until the present; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other nations.

mkjv@Romans:1:14 @ I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the foreigners, both to the wise and to the unwise.

mkjv@Romans:1:15 @ So, as much as is in me [lies], I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are at Rome also.

mkjv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is [the] power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

mkjv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

mkjv@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness,

mkjv@Romans:1:19 @ because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed [it] to them.

mkjv@Romans:1:20 @ For the unseen things of Him from [the] creation of [the] world [are] clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, [even] His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.

mkjv@Romans:1:21 @ Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But [they] became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

mkjv@Romans:1:22 @ Professing to be wise, they became fools

mkjv@Romans:1:23 @ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

mkjv@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of [their] hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.

mkjv@Romans:1:25 @ For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

mkjv@Romans:1:26 @ For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

mkjv@Romans:1:27 @ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

mkjv@Romans:1:28 @ And even as they did not think fit to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,

mkjv@Romans:1:29 @ being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; [being] full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, [becoming] whisperers,

mkjv@Romans:1:30 @ backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

mkjv@Romans:1:31 @ undiscerning, perfidious, without natural] affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

mkjv@Romans:1:32 @ who, knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in those practicing [them].

mkjv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.

mkjv@Romans:2:2 @ But know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those who practice such things.

mkjv@Romans:2:3 @ And, O man, the [one] judging those who do such things, and practice them, do you think this, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

mkjv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

mkjv@Romans:2:5 @ But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

mkjv@Romans:2:6 @ who will render to each according to his works;

mkjv@Romans:2:7 @ indeed to those who with patience [in] good work [are] seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life.

mkjv@Romans:2:8 @ But to those who indeed disobeying the truth out] of self-seeking, and obeying unrighteousness, will be] anger and wrath,

mkjv@Romans:2:9 @ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who has worked out evil; of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

mkjv@Romans:2:10 @ But He [will give] glory, honor and peace to every man who works good, to [the] Jew first and also to [the] Greek.

mkjv@Romans:2:11 @ For there is no respect of faces with God.

mkjv@Romans:2:12 @ For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

mkjv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the Law who [are] just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

mkjv@Romans:2:14 @ For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

mkjv@Romans:2:15 @ who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing one another,

mkjv@Romans:2:16 @ in a day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

mkjv@Romans:2:17 @ Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God;

mkjv@Romans:2:18 @ and know [His] will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law;

mkjv@Romans:2:19 @ and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness;

mkjv@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.

mkjv@Romans:2:21 @ Therefore the [one] teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The [one] preaching not to steal, do you steal?

mkjv@Romans:2:22 @ The [one] saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The [one] detesting idols, do you rob temples?

mkjv@Romans:2:23 @ [You] who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law?

mkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.

mkjv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision truly profits if you keep [the] Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

mkjv@Romans:2:26 @ If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

mkjv@Romans:2:27 @ And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision [become] transgressors of the Law?

mkjv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a Jew who [is one] outwardly, nor [is] circumcision that outwardly in flesh;

mkjv@Romans:2:29 @ but he [is] a Jew who [is one] inwardly, and circumcision [is] of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.

mkjv@Romans:3:1 @ Then what [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the profit of circumcision?

mkjv@Romans:3:2 @ Much, by every way! Chiefly, indeed, because they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

mkjv@Romans:3:3 @ For what? If some did not believe, will not their unbelief nullify the faith of God?

mkjv@Romans:3:4 @ Let it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That You might be justified in Your sayings, and will overcome when You are judged.

mkjv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.)

mkjv@Romans:3:6 @ Let it not be! For then how shall God judge the world?

mkjv@Romans:3:7 @ For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner?

mkjv@Romans:3:8 @ And not [rather], (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? [Their] condemnation is just.

mkjv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Do we excel? No, in no way; for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks all [with] being under sin,

mkjv@Romans:3:10 @ as it is written: There is none righteous, no not one;

mkjv@Romans:3:11 @ there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God.

mkjv@Romans:3:12 @ They are all gone out of the way, [they] have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one.

mkjv@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat [is] an open grave, with their tongues they have used deceit, [the] poison of asps [is] under their lips;

mkjv@Romans:3:14 @ whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness;

mkjv@Romans:3:15 @ their feet [are] swift to shed blood;

mkjv@Romans:3:16 @ destruction and misery [are] in their way,

mkjv@Romans:3:17 @ and the way of peace they did not know.

mkjv@Romans:3:18 @ There is no fear of God before their eyes.

mkjv@Romans:3:19 @ But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,

mkjv@Romans:3:20 @ because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law [is] the knowledge of sin.

mkjv@Romans:3:21 @ But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;

mkjv@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who believe. For there is no difference,

mkjv@Romans:3:23 @ for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

mkjv@Romans:3:24 @ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

mkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God has set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness through the passing by of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God;

mkjv@Romans:3:26 @ for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the [one] being of the faith of Jesus.

mkjv@Romans:3:27 @ Then where [is] the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

mkjv@Romans:3:28 @ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law.

mkjv@Romans:3:29 @ Or [is He] the God of the Jews only, and not also of the nations? Yes, of the nations also,

mkjv@Romans:3:30 @ since [it is] one God who will justify circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

mkjv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.

mkjv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that our father Abraham has found, according to flesh?

mkjv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God.

mkjv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:4:4 @ But to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.

mkjv@Romans:4:5 @ But to him not working, but believing on Him justifying the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:4:6 @ Even as David also says of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works,

mkjv@Romans:4:7 @ [saying], Blessed are those whose lawlessnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

mkjv@Romans:4:8 @ blessed [is] the man to whom [the] Lord will in no way impute sin.

mkjv@Romans:4:9 @ [Is] this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

mkjv@Romans:4:11 @ And he received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith [while still] uncircumcised; so that he might be [the] father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for righteousness to be imputed to them also;

mkjv@Romans:4:12 @ and a father of circumcision to those not of the circumcision only, but also to those walking by the steps of the faith of our father Abraham during uncircumcision.

mkjv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be the heir of the world [was] not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

mkjv@Romans:4:14 @ For if they of the Law [are] heirs, faith is made void and the promise is made of no effect;

mkjv@Romans:4:15 @ because the Law works out wrath, for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.

mkjv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore [it is] of faith so that [it might be] according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the] faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

mkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it has been written, I have made you a father of many nations) --before God, whom he believed, who makes the dead live, and calls the things [which] do not exist as [though they] do exist.

mkjv@Romans:4:18 @ [For he] who beyond hope believed on hope for him to become the father of many nations (according to that which was spoken, So your seed shall be).

mkjv@Romans:4:19 @ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body already dead (being about a hundred years old) or the deadening of Sarah's womb.

mkjv@Romans:4:20 @ He did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

mkjv@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was also able to perform.

mkjv@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for him alone that it was imputed to him,

mkjv@Romans:4:24 @ but for us also to whom it is to be imputed, to the ones believing on Him who has raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

mkjv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered because of our offenses and was raised for our justification.

mkjv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Romans:5:2 @ Through Him we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice on the hope of the glory of God.

mkjv@Romans:5:3 @ And not only [this], but we glory in afflictions also, knowing that afflictions work out patience,

mkjv@Romans:5:4 @ and patience [works out] experience, and experience [works out] hope.

mkjv@Romans:5:5 @ And hope does not make [us] ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through [the] Holy Spirit given to us.

mkjv@Romans:5:6 @ For we yet being without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

mkjv@Romans:5:7 @ For one will with difficulty die for a righteous one, yet perhaps one would even dare to die for a good one.

mkjv@Romans:5:8 @ But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

mkjv@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

mkjv@Romans:5:10 @ For if [when] we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

mkjv@Romans:5:11 @ And not only [so], but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

mkjv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned:

mkjv@Romans:5:13 @ for until the Law sin was in [the] world, but sin is not imputed [when] there is no law.

mkjv@Romans:5:14 @ But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is the type of Him who was to come;

mkjv@Romans:5:15 @ but the free gift [shall] not [be] also like the offense. For if by the offense of the one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace; which [is] of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

mkjv@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift [shall] not [be] as by one having sinned; (for indeed the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offenses to justification.

mkjv@Romans:5:17 @ For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.)

mkjv@Romans:5:18 @ Therefore as by one offense [sentence came] on all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of One the free gift [came] to all men to justification of life.

mkjv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.

mkjv@Romans:5:20 @ But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,

mkjv@Romans:5:21 @ so that as sin has reigned to death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

mkjv@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?

mkjv@Romans:6:2 @ Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

mkjv@Romans:6:3 @ Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

mkjv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from [the] dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life.

mkjv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be [in the likeness] of His resurrection;

mkjv@Romans:6:6 @ knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [Him] in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin.

mkjv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who died has been justified from sin.

mkjv@Romans:6:8 @ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

mkjv@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that when Christ was raised from [the] dead, He dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him.

mkjv@Romans:6:10 @ For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

mkjv@Romans:6:11 @ Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

mkjv@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

mkjv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as [one] alive from [the] dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness to God.

mkjv@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

mkjv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under grace? Let it not be!

mkjv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves [as] slaves for obedience, you are slaves to him whom you obey; whether it is of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks [be] to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from [the] heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

mkjv@Romans:6:18 @ Then being made free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you have yielded your members [as] slaves to uncleanness, and to lawless act unto lawless act, even so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness.

mkjv@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then [in those things] of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things [is] death.

mkjv@Romans:6:22 @ But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

mkjv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

mkjv@Romans:7:1 @ Or are you ignorant, brothers; for I speak to those who know the Law; that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

mkjv@Romans:7:2 @ For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of [her] husband.

mkjv@Romans:7:3 @ So then [if], while [her] husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, [so that] she is no adulteress by becoming another man's wife.

mkjv@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law by the body of Christ so that you should be married to Another, [even] to Him raised from [the] dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.

mkjv@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin worked in our members through the law to bring forth fruit to death.

mkjv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we having been set free from the Law, having died [to that] in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not [in] oldness of the letter.

mkjv@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? Let it not be said! But I did not know sin except through the law. For also I did not know lust except the law said, You shall not lust.

mkjv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of lust. For apart from law sin [was] dead.

mkjv@Romans:7:9 @ For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

mkjv@Romans:7:10 @ And the commandment, which [was] to life, was found [to be] death to me.

mkjv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed [me].

mkjv@Romans:7:12 @ So indeed the Law [is] holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

mkjv@Romans:7:13 @ Then has that [which is] good become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear [to be] sin, working death in me by [that which is] good; in order that sin might become exceedingly sinful by the commandment.

mkjv@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

mkjv@Romans:7:15 @ For that which I do, I know not. For what I desire, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do.

mkjv@Romans:7:16 @ If then I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that [it is] good.

mkjv@Romans:7:17 @ But now it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

mkjv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but [how] to perform [that which is] good I do not find.

mkjv@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

mkjv@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do what I do not desire, [it is] no more I working it out, but sin dwelling in me.

mkjv@Romans:7:21 @ I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.

mkjv@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man;

mkjv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.

mkjv@Romans:7:24 @ O wretched man [that] I [am]! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

mkjv@Romans:7:25 @ I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

mkjv@Romans:8:1 @ [There is] therefore now no condemnation to those [who are] in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:8:2 @ But the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

mkjv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

mkjv@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:8:5 @ For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:8:6 @ For to be carnally minded [is] death, but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace

mkjv@Romans:8:7 @ because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can [it be].

mkjv@Romans:8:8 @ So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

mkjv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in [the] Spirit, if [the] Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not [the] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

mkjv@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ [is] in you, indeed the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of the [One] who raised up Jesus from [the] dead dwells in you, the [One] who raised up Christ from [the] dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you.

mkjv@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

mkjv@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through [the] Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

mkjv@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

mkjv@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father!

mkjv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.

mkjv@Romans:8:17 @ And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with [Him], we may also be glorified together.

mkjv@Romans:8:18 @ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

mkjv@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

mkjv@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but because of Him who subjected [it] on hope

mkjv@Romans:8:21 @ that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

mkjv@Romans:8:22 @ And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

mkjv@Romans:8:23 @ And not only [so], but ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.

mkjv@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope [for it]?

mkjv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for that which we do not see, [then] we wait for it with patience.

mkjv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

mkjv@Romans:8:27 @ And He searching the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

mkjv@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to [His] purpose.

mkjv@Romans:8:29 @ For whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be [the] First-born among many brothers.

mkjv@Romans:8:30 @ But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, those He also justified. And whom He justified, these He also glorified.

mkjv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

mkjv@Romans:8:32 @ Truly [He] who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

mkjv@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God who justifies.

mkjv@Romans:8:34 @ Who [is] he condemning? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather also [who is] raised, who is also at [the] right [hand] of God, who also intercedes for us.

mkjv@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

mkjv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, For Your sake we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep of slaughter.

mkjv@Romans:8:37 @ But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.

mkjv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

mkjv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mkjv@Romans:9:1 @ I tell [the] truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience also bearing me witness in [the] Holy Spirit,

mkjv@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great heaviness and continual pain in my heart.

mkjv@Romans:9:3 @ For I myself was wishing to be accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

mkjv@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites; to whom [belong] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service [of God], and the promises;

mkjv@Romans:9:5 @ whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ according to flesh, He being God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

mkjv@Romans:9:6 @ Not however that the word of God has failed, for not all those of Israel [are] Israel;

mkjv@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are the seed of Abraham [are they] all children. But, In Isaac shall your Seed be called.

mkjv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, not the children of the flesh [are] children of God; but the children of the promise [are] counted for a seed.

mkjv@Romans:9:9 @ For this [is] the word of promise: At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

mkjv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only [this], but when Rebekah also had conceived by one, by our father Isaac

mkjv@Romans:9:11 @ (for [the children] had not yet been born, neither had done any good or evil; but that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who called,)

mkjv@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

mkjv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

mkjv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? [Is there] not unrighteousness with God? Let it not be!

mkjv@Romans:9:15 @ For He said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

mkjv@Romans:9:16 @ So then [it is] not of the [one] willing, nor of the [one] running, but of God, the [One] showing mercy.

mkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose I have raised you up, that I might show My power in you, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth.

mkjv@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore He has mercy on whom He will [have mercy], and whom He will, He hardens.

mkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will then say to me, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?

mkjv@Romans:9:20 @ No, but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him who formed [it], Why have you made me this way?

mkjv@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor?

mkjv@Romans:9:22 @ [What] if God, willing to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction;

mkjv@Romans:9:23 @ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which He had before prepared to glory;

mkjv@Romans:9:24 @ whom He also called, not only us, of Jews, but also of the nations?

mkjv@Romans:9:25 @ As He also says in Hosea, I will call those not My people, My people; and those not beloved, Beloved.

mkjv@Romans:9:26 @ And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them. You [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.

mkjv@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the sons of Israel is as the sands of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

mkjv@Romans:9:28 @ For [He is] bringing [the] matter to an end, and cutting short in righteousness, because [the] Lord will make a short work on the earth.

mkjv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said before, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we would have been as Sodom, and would have been like Gomorrah.

mkjv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That the nations, who did not follow after righteousness have taken on righteousness, but a righteousness of faith.

mkjv@Romans:9:31 @ But Israel, who followed after a law of righteousness did not arrive at a law of righteousness.

mkjv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because [it was] not of faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that Stumbling-stone;

mkjv@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a Stumbling-stone and a Rock-of-offense, and everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame.

mkjv@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, truly my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is for [it] to be saved.

mkjv@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear record to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

mkjv@Romans:10:3 @ For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

mkjv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.

mkjv@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes [of] the righteousness [which] is of the Law, The man who does those things shall live by them.

mkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says this: Do not say in your heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

mkjv@Romans:10:7 @ or Who shall descend into the deep?; that is, to bring up Christ again from [the] dead.

mkjv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near you, [even] in your mouth and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we proclaim;

mkjv@Romans:10:9 @ Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from [the] dead, you shall be saved.

mkjv@Romans:10:10 @ For with [the] heart [one] believes unto righteousness, and with [the] mouth [one] confesses unto salvation.

mkjv@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, Everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame.

mkjv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him.

mkjv@Romans:10:13 @ For everyone, whoever shall call on the name of [the] Lord will be saved.

mkjv@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without preaching?

mkjv@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful [are] the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!

mkjv@Romans:10:16 @ But [they have] not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

mkjv@Romans:10:17 @ Then faith [is] of hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

mkjv@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, Have they not heard? Yes indeed, their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

mkjv@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by [those who are] no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

mkjv@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah [is] very bold and says, I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became known to those who did not ask after Me.

mkjv@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel He says, All day long I have stretched forth My hands to a disobeying and gainsaying people.

mkjv@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be [said]! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.

mkjv@Romans:11:2 @ God did not thrust out His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture said in Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

mkjv@Romans:11:3 @ Lord, they killed Your prophets and dug down Your altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

mkjv@Romans:11:4 @ But what does the Divine answer say to him? I have reserved to Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

mkjv@Romans:11:5 @ Even so then, also in this present time a remnant according to the election of grace has come into being.

mkjv@Romans:11:6 @ But if by grace, then [it is] no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it is] of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is no more work.

mkjv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained that which it seeks, but the election obtained [it], and the rest were hardened

mkjv@Romans:11:8 @ even as it is written, God gave to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing until this day.

mkjv@Romans:11:9 @ And David said, Let their table become for a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense to them.

mkjv@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see, and their back always bowing.

mkjv@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, Did they not stumble that they fall? Let it not be! But by their slipping away came salvation to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy.

mkjv@Romans:11:12 @ But if their slipping away [is] the riches of [the] world, and their default is [the] riches of [the] nations, how much more their fullness?

mkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you, the nations; since I am the apostle of the nations, I glorify my ministry;

mkjv@Romans:11:14 @ if by any means I may provoke [those who are] my flesh to jealousy, and might save some of them.

mkjv@Romans:11:15 @ For if their casting away [is the] reconciling of [the] world, what [is] the reception except life from [the] dead?

mkjv@Romans:11:16 @ For if the firstfruit [is] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]; and if the root [is] holy, also the branches.

mkjv@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a sharer of the root and the fatness of the olive tree with them,

mkjv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, [it is] not you [that] bears the root, but the root bears you.

mkjv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, The branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.

mkjv@Romans:11:20 @ Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not [be] high-minded, but fear.

mkjv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, [fear] lest He also may not spare you either!

mkjv@Romans:11:22 @ Behold then [the] kindness, and [the] severity of God; on those having fallen, severity; but on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

mkjv@Romans:11:23 @ And those also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again.

mkjv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive [tree], and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive [tree]; how much more these [being] according to nature will be grafted into [their] own olive-tree?

mkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, lest you should be wise within yourselves; that blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations has comes in.

mkjv@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

mkjv@Romans:11:27 @ For this [is] My covenant with them, when I have taken away their sins.

mkjv@Romans:11:28 @ Indeed as regards the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes. But as regards the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes.

mkjv@Romans:11:29 @ For the free gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.

mkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you also then disbelieved God, but now have been shown mercy through their disbelief,

mkjv@Romans:11:31 @ even so these also have not believed now, so that through your mercy they may also obtain mercy.

mkjv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief, so that He might show mercy to all.

mkjv@Romans:11:33 @ O [the] depth of [the] riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable [are] His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

mkjv@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, or who became His counselor?

mkjv@Romans:11:35 @ Or who first gave to Him, and it will be repaid to him?

mkjv@Romans:11:36 @ For of Him and through Him and to Him [are] all things; to Him be glory forever! Amen.

mkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, [which is] your reasonable service.

mkjv@Romans:12:2 @ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what [is] that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

mkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think. But set your mind to be right-minded, even as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

mkjv@Romans:12:4 @ For even as we have many members in one body, and all members do not have the same function,

mkjv@Romans:12:5 @ so we the many are one body in Christ, and each one members of one another.

mkjv@Romans:12:6 @ Then having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

mkjv@Romans:12:7 @ or ministry, in the ministry; or [he who] teaches, in the teaching;

mkjv@Romans:12:8 @ or he who exhorts, in the encouragement; or he who shares, in simplicity; or he who takes the lead, in diligence; or he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

mkjv@Romans:12:9 @ [Let] love [be] without hypocrisy, shrinking from evil, cleaving to good;

mkjv@Romans:12:10 @ in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having led one another in honor.

mkjv@Romans:12:11 @ As to diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

mkjv@Romans:12:12 @ rejoicing in hope, patient in affliction, steadfastly continuing in prayer,

mkjv@Romans:12:13 @ distributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.

mkjv@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.

mkjv@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with rejoicing ones, and weep with weeping ones;

mkjv@Romans:12:16 @ minding the same thing toward one another, not minding high things, but yielding to the lowly. Do not be wise within yourselves.

mkjv@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

mkjv@Romans:12:18 @ If [it is] possible, as far as [is] in you, being in peace with all men.

mkjv@Romans:12:19 @ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay, says [the] Lord.

mkjv@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him. If he thirsts, give him drink. For [in so] doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.

mkjv@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

mkjv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

mkjv@Romans:13:2 @ So that the one resisting the authority resists the ordinance of God; and the ones who resist will receive judgment to themselves.

mkjv@Romans:13:3 @ For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad. And do you desire to be not afraid of the authority? Do the good, and you shall have praise from it.

mkjv@Romans:13:4 @ For it is a servant of God to you for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him who does evil.

mkjv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore [you] must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

mkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes. For they are God's servants, always giving attention to this very thing.

mkjv@Romans:13:7 @ Therefore give to all [their] dues; to the [one due] tax, the tax; tribute to whom tribute [is due], fear to whom fear [is due], and honor to whom honor [is due].

mkjv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

mkjv@Romans:13:9 @ For: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust; and if [there is] any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

mkjv@Romans:13:10 @ Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

mkjv@Romans:13:11 @ This also, knowing the time, that [it is] already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation [is] nearer than when we believed.

mkjv@Romans:13:12 @ The night [is] far spent, the day is at hand; therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

mkjv@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk becomingly, as in [the] day; not in carousings and drinking; not in co-habitation and lustful acts; not in strife and envy.

mkjv@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take thought beforehand for the lusts of the flesh.

mkjv@Romans:14:1 @ And receive him who is weak in the faith, [but] not to judgments of [your] thoughts.

mkjv@Romans:14:2 @ For indeed one believes to eat all things; but being weak, [another] eats vegetables.

mkjv@Romans:14:3 @ Do not let him who eats despise him who does not eat; and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has received him.

mkjv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that judges another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. But he will stand, for God is able to make him stand.

mkjv@Romans:14:5 @ One indeed esteems a day above [another] day; and [another] esteems every day [alike]. Let each one be fully assured in his own mind.

mkjv@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day regards [it] to the Lord; and he not regarding the day, does not regard [it] to the Lord. He who eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, does not eat to [the Lord, and gives God thanks.

mkjv@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

mkjv@Romans:14:8 @ For both if we live, we live to [the] Lord; and if we die, we die to [the] Lord. Therefore both if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's.

mkjv@Romans:14:9 @ For this Christ both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord both of [the] dead and living.

mkjv@Romans:14:10 @ But why do you judge your brother? Or also why do you despise your brother? For all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

mkjv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, As] I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

mkjv@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us will give account concerning himself to God.

mkjv@Romans:14:13 @ Then let us not judge one another any more, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-block or an offense toward his brother.

mkjv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in [the] Lord Jesus, that nothing by itself [is] common; except to him who esteems anything to be common, [it is] common.

mkjv@Romans:14:15 @ But if your brother is grieved with [your] food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not with your food destroy him for whom Christ died.

mkjv@Romans:14:16 @ Then do not let your good be spoken evil of,

mkjv@Romans:14:17 @ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in these things [is] well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.

mkjv@Romans:14:19 @ So then let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another.

mkjv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not undo the work of God for food. Truly, all things indeed [are] clean, but [it is] bad to the man eating because of a stumbling-block.

mkjv@Romans:14:21 @ [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [anything] by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

mkjv@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have faith? Have [it] to yourself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

mkjv@Romans:14:23 @ But, the one doubting, if he eats, [he] has been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.

mkjv@Romans:15:1 @ Then we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

mkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please [his] neighbor for [his] good, to building up.

mkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.

mkjv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, so that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

mkjv@Romans:15:5 @ And may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded toward one another according to Christ Jesus,

mkjv@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind [and] one mouth you may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore receive one another as Christ also received us, to [the] glory of God.

mkjv@Romans:15:8 @ And I say, Jesus Christ has become a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] to the fathers,

mkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the nations might glorify God for [His] mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess to You in the nations, and I will praise Your name.

mkjv@Romans:15:10 @ And again He says, Rejoice, O nations, with His people.

mkjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again, Praise the Lord, all the nations, and praise Him, all the peoples.

mkjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse, and He who shall rise to reign over the nations, in Him shall the nations trust.

mkjv@Romans:15:13 @ And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope through the power of [the] Holy Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

mkjv@Romans:15:15 @ But, brothers, I wrote to you boldly, as reminding you in part, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

mkjv@Romans:15:16 @ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit.

mkjv@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have boasting in Christ Jesus [as to] the things pertaining to God.

mkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ did not work out by me for [the] obedience of the nations in word and deed,

mkjv@Romans:15:19 @ in power of miracles and wonders, in power of [the] Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

mkjv@Romans:15:20 @ Yea, so I have been eager to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation;

mkjv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, To whom nothing was said about Him, they shall see. And they who have not heard shall understand.

mkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this cause I also have been greatly hindered from coming to you.

mkjv@Romans:15:23 @ But now, having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,

mkjv@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I may go into Spain, I will come to you. For [in] traveling through I hope to see you, and to be set forward there by you, if first I may be filled of you in part.

mkjv@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

mkjv@Romans:15:26 @ For it has pleased those of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints in Jerusalem.

mkjv@Romans:15:27 @ Truly it has pleased them, and they are their debtors. For if the nations have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in fleshly things.

mkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore when I have completed this, and have sealed this fruit to them, I will come by you into Spain.

mkjv@Romans:15:29 @ And I am sure that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of [the] blessing of the gospel of Christ.

mkjv@Romans:15:30 @ But I exhort you, brothers, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me,

mkjv@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from those disbelieving in Judea, and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted by the saints;

mkjv@Romans:15:32 @ so that [I may] come to you with joy by [the] will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

mkjv@Romans:15:33 @ Now may the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.

mkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

mkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you receive her in [the] Lord, [as] becomes saints, and that you may assist her in whatever business she has need of you. For she has been a helper of many, and of myself also.

mkjv@Romans:16:3 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,

mkjv@Romans:16:4 @ who have laid down their own necks for my life; to whom not only I give thanks, but also the churches of the nations.

mkjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ.

mkjv@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.

mkjv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

mkjv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Amplias my beloved in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urbanus, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

mkjv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of Aristobulus' [household].

mkjv@Romans:16:11 @ Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet those who are of the [household] of Narcissus, who are in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in [the] Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Romans:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in [the] Lord, and his mother and mine.

mkjv@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers with them.

mkjv@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julias, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them.

mkjv@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.

mkjv@Romans:16:17 @ And I exhort you, brothers, to watch those making divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.

mkjv@Romans:16:18 @ For they who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches [they] deceive the hearts of the simple.

mkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience reached to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf, But I would have you truly wise [as] to good, and simple toward evil.

mkjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

mkjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater my kinsmen, greet you.

mkjv@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, greet you in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius my host, and the host of me and the whole church, greets you. Erastus the steward of the city greets you, and Quartus a brother.

mkjv@Romans:16:24 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

mkjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of [the] mystery, having been unvoiced during eternal times;

mkjv@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith;

mkjv@Romans:16:27 @ to God only wise [be] glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through [the] will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always on your behalf [for] the grace of God given you in Jesus Christ,

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in everything you are enriched by Him, [in] all speech and in all knowledge;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He shall also confirm you to [the] end, [that you may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God [is] faithful, by whom you were called to [the] fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ But I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, [that] you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ But I say this, that every one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:15 @ lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ And I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides these, I do not know if I baptized any other.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, [it is] the power of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the perceiving ones.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where [is the] wise? Where [is the] scribe? Where [is the] lawyer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world [by] wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:22 @ For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is] the power of God and the wisdom of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh [are called], not many mighty, not many noble.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh should glory in His presence.

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

mkjv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that, according as it is written, He who glories, let him glory in [the] Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I was with you in weakness and in fear, and in much trembling.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the] Spirit and of power,

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith should not stand in [the] wisdom of men, but in [the] power of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ But, we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nothing.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak [the] wisdom of God in a mystery, which God has hidden, predetermining it before the world for our glory;

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ which none of the rulers of this world knew (for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory).

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God has revealed [them] to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the] Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not receive the things of [the] Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

mkjv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual ones, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I have fed you with milk and not with solid food, for you were not yet able [to bear it]; nor are you able even now.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ For you are yet carnal. For in that [there is] among you envyings and strife and divisions, are you not carnal, and [do you not] walk according to men?

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are you not carnal?

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each?

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ So he planting, and he watering, are one, and each one shall receive [his] own reward according to [his] own labor.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For of God we are fellow-workers, a field of God, and you are a building of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds [on it]. But let every man be careful how he builds [on it].

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For any other foundation can no one lay than the one] being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:12 @ And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each one's work shall be revealed. For the Day shall declare [it], because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try each one's work as to what kind it is.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If anyone's work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss. But he shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:20 @ And again, The] Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours,

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours,

mkjv@1Corinthians:3:23 @ and you are Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ So let a man think of us as ministers of Christ and stewards of [the] mysteries of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:2 @ And the rest, it is sought among stewards that one be found faithful.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But to me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a man's day; but I do not judge my own self,

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:4 @ for I know nothing by myself. Yet I have not been justified by this, but He who judges me is [the] Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall each one have praise of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ And these things, brothers, I have [in a figure] transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that you might learn in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, so that no one of you may [be] puffed up against one another.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you to differ [from another]? And what do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive [it], why do you boast as [if you] had not received it?

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Already you are full! Already you are rich! You have reigned [as kings] without us! And oh that indeed you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has set forth us last, the apostles, as it were appointed to death; for we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but you [are] wise in Christ. We [are] weak, but you [are] strong. You [are] honorable, but we [are] despised.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even until this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all [things] until now.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn [you].

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [you do] not [have] many fathers; for I have begotten you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I beseech you, be imitators of me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in [the] Lord, who shall remind you [of] my ways which are] in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ As to my not coming to you now, some are puffed up.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills. And I will not know the speech of those who are puffed up, but the power.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.

mkjv@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or [in] love and the spirit of meekness?

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ On the whole it is reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even named among the nations, so as one to have [his] father's wife.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, so that he who has done this deed may be taken from your midst.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For as being absent in body but present in spirit, I indeed have judged already [as though I were] present [concerning] him who worked out this thing;

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, with my spirit; also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting [is] not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Therefore purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep [the] feast; not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in the letter not to associate intimately with fornicators;

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you must go out of the world.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother [and is] either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what [is it] to me to also judge those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

mkjv@1Corinthians:5:13 @ But God judges those who are outside. Therefore put out from you the evil one.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Do any of you dare, when you have a matter against another, to go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not to mention the things] of this] life?

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If, then, you truly have judgments of [the things] of this] life, set those who are least esteemed in the church [to judge].

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ For I speak to your shame. [Is it] so [that] there is not a wise one among you, not even one in your midst who shall be able to judge between his brother?

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Indeed then there is already on the whole a failure among you, that you have lawsuits with yourselves. Why not instead be wronged? Why not instead be defrauded?

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you do wrong and defraud, and these things to brothers.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:12 @ All things are lawful to me, but not all things profit. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Meats for the belly and the belly for meats, but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:14 @ And God has both raised up the Lord, and also will raise us up by His own power.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make [them] the members of a harlot? Let it not be!

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he being joined to a harlot is one body? For He says, The two shall be one flesh.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against [his] own body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,

mkjv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning what you wrote to me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But, because of the fornications, let each have his [own] wife, and let each have her own husband.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband give to the wife proper kindness, and likewise the wife also to the husband.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over [her] own body, but the husband. And likewise also the husband does not have authority [over his] own body, but the wife.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless [it is] with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I speak this according to permission, not according to commandment.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I would that all men were even as I myself am. But each has his proper gift from God, one according to this manner and another according to that.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say therefore to the unmarried and the widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ And to the married I command (not I, but the Lord), a woman not to be separated from [her] husband.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband. And a husband is not to leave [his] wife.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her leave him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one separates, let [him] be separated. A brother or a sister is not in bondage in such [cases], but God has called us in peace.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For what do you know, O wife, whether you shall save [your] husband? Or what do you know, O man, whether you shall save [your] wife?

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ [Was] any called having been circumcised? Do not be uncircumcised. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? Do not be circumcised.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called as a slave? It does not matter to you, but if you are able to become free, use [it] rather.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who is called a slave in [the] Lord is a freed man of [the] Lord. And likewise, he who is called a free man is a slave of Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You are bought with a price, do not be the slaves of men.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Each in whatever way he was called, brothers, in this remain with God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ But concerning virgins, I have no commandment from [the] Lord. Yet I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ Then I think this is good, because of the present necessity; that [it is] good for a man to be so.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you do marry, you did not sin; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brothers, The time [is] short. It remains that both those who have wives should be as not having one.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:30 @ And they who weep are as [though they did] not weep. And they who rejoice are as [though they did] not rejoice. And they who buy are as though they did] not possess.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And they who use this world are] as not abusing [it], for the fashion of this world is passing away.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I desire you to be without anxiety. The [one] who is unmarried cares for the things that belong to [the] Lord, how to please the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But the [one] who is married cares for the things of the world, how to please [his] wife.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ The wife and the virgin [are] different. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please [her husband.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare on you, but for that which is right, and that you may attend on the Lord without distraction.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if anyone thinks [it] behaving himself indecently toward his virgin (if she is past [her] prime, and so it ought to be) let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But [he] who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but who has authority over [his] own will (and has so judged in his heart that he will keep his virginity) he does well.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives, but if her husband sleeps in death, she is at liberty to be remarried to whom she will, only in the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she so remains, according to my judgment. And I also think that I have [the] Spirit of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:1 @ But concerning the sacrifices to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:2 @ And if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if any one loves God, he has been known of him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Then concerning the eating of the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that [there] is no other God except one.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For though there are those who are called gods, whether in Heaven or in earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ but [there is] to us [only] one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we by Him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But this knowledge [is] not in all. But some being aware of the idol eat as an idolatrous sacrifice until now, and their conscience being weak is defiled.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food does not commend us to God. For neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block to those who are weak.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol temple, will not the weak one's conscience be lifted up so as to eat things sacrificed to idols?

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And on your knowledge the weak brother will fall, he for whom Christ died.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ And sinning in this way against [your] brothers, and wounding their conscience, being weak, you sin against Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no flesh forever, that I do not offend my brother.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in [the] Lord?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in [the] Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My answer to those who examine me is this:

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Do we not have authority to eat and to drink?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have authority to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brothers of the Lord do, and Cephas?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or [is it] only Barnabas and I [who] have no authority whether] not to work?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serves as a soldier at his own wages at any time? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock and does not partake of the milk of the flock?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I say these things according to man? Or does not the Law say the same also?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain. Does God take care for oxen?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or does He say [it] altogether for our sakes? It was written for us, so that he who plows should plow [in] hope, and so that he who threshes [in] hope should be partaker of his hope.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown to you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others have a share of [this] authority [over] you, rather [should] not we? But we have not used this authority, but we endured all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who minister about holy things live [of the things] of the temple? And those attending the altar are partakers with the altar.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ Even so, the Lord ordained those announcing the gospel to live from the gospel.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for [it is] good for me rather to die than that anyone nullify my glorying.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For though I preach the gospel, no glory is to me. For necessity is laid on me; yea, woe is to me if I do not preach the gospel!

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I am entrusted with a stewardship.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all, yet I have made myself servant to all, so that I might gain the more.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews. To those who are under the Law, [I became] as under the Law, so that I might gain those who are under the Law.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who are outside Law, [I became] as outside Law (not being outside law to God, but under [the] law to Christ), so that I might gain those who are outside Law.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became as the weak, so that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all [men], so that I might by all means save some.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And this I do for the sake of the gospel, so that I might be partaker of it [with you].

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And everyone who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ So then I run, not as if I were uncertain. And so I fight, not as [one who] beats the air.

mkjv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I buffet my body, and lead [it] captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ And, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:2 @ And all were baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food,

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were scattered in the wilderness.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ And these things were our examples, that we should not be lusters after evil, as they also lusted.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Nor should we be idolaters, even as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him and were destroyed by serpents.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor murmur as some of them also murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ And all these things happened to them [as] examples; and [it] is written for our warning on whom the ends of the world have come.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:12 @ So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has taken you but [what is] common to man; but God [is] faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear [it].

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:17 @ For we, the many, are one bread [and] one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not those who eat of the sacrifices also partakers of the altar?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then do I say? That the idol is anything, or that an idolatrous sacrifice is anything?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But [I say] that the things which the nations sacrifice, [they] sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not desire that you should have fellowship with demons.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink [the] cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers of [the] Lord's table and of a table of demons.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:23 @ All things are lawful to me, but not all things profit. All things are lawful to me, but not all things build up.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no question for conscience' sake;

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invite you [to a feast], and if you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat for the sake of him who showed [it], and for conscience' sake; for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fullness of it;

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:30 @ For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that [for] which I give thanks?

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Give no offense, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks or to the church of God;

mkjv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ even as I please all [men] in all [things], not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of the many, so that they may be saved.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ But I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and you keep the doctrines as I delivered [them] to you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man praying or prophesying with [his] head covered dishonors his Head.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with [her] head unveiled dishonors her head; for that is even the same as if she were shaved.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if the woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn. But [if it] is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man indeed ought not to have [his] head covered, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is [the] glory of [the] man.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Nor was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have authority on [her] head because of the angels.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ But neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as the woman [is] of the man, even so the man [is] also through the woman; but all things of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge among yourselves: is it right that a woman pray to God unveiled?

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if man has long hair, it is a shame to him?

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman should have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her in place of a veil.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in enjoining this, I do not praise [you], because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must also be heresies among you, that the approved ones may be revealed among you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you come together into one place, [this] is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For in eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry, and another drunken.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ For do you not have houses [in which] to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who do not have? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I do not praise [you]!

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:24 @ And giving thanks, He broke [it] and said, Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of Me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way [He took] the cup also, after supping, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord's death until He shall come.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So that whoever shall eat this bread and drink [this] cup of the Lord unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread and drink of that cup.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this cause many among you [are] weak and sickly, and many sleep.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged, we are chastened by [the] Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So that, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

mkjv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ But if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I would not have you ignorant.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that being led away, you nations were led to dumb idols.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by [the] Spirit of God says Jesus [is] a curse, and [that] no one can say that Jesus [is] Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:4 @ But there are differences of gifts, but the same Spirit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:5 @ And there are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are differences of workings, but it is the same God working all things in all.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each one is given the showing forth of the Spirit to [our] profit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For through the Spirit is given to one a word of wisdom; and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:9 @ and to another faith by the same Spirit; and to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ and to another workings of powers, to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, [are] one body; so also [is] Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not one member, but many.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If all the body [were] an eye, where [would be] the hearing? If all hearing, where [would be] the smelling?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased Him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:19 @ And if they were all one member, where [would be] the body?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now indeed many [are] the members, yet only one body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ But much rather the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And those [members] of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we put more abundant honor around [them]. And our unpresentable [members] have more abundant propriety.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ For our presentable [members] have no need, but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to the [member] having need;

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there not be division in the body, but [that] the members should have the same care for one another.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it]; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:27 @ And you are the body of Christ, and members in part.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God set some in the church, firstly, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers, then works of power, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, kinds of languages.

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:29 @ [Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all workers of power?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak languages? Do all interpret?

mkjv@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But zealously strive after the better gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I have become [as] sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And though I have prophecies, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to move mountains, and do not have charity, I am nothing.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And though I give out all my goods to feed the poor], and though I deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, I am profited nothing.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Charity has patience, is kind; charity is not envious, is not vain, is not puffed up;

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:5 @ does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:6 @ Charity does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:7 @ quietly covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Charity never fails. But if [there are] prophecies, they will be abolished; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it will be abolished.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I thought as an infant, I reasoned as an infant. But when I became a man, I did away with the things of an infant.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known.

mkjv@1Corinthians:13:13 @ And now faith, hope, charity, these three remain; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Follow after charity and desire spiritual [things], but rather that you may prophesy.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men [for] building up, and exhortation, and comfort.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The one speaking in a tongue builds himself up, but he prophesying builds up a church.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish all of you to speak in languages, but rather that you may prophesy; for greater [is] he prophesying than he speaking in tongues, unless he interpret so that the church may receive building up.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you, except I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Yet lifeless things giving a sound, whether flute or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sound, how will it be known what is being piped or harped?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:8 @ For also if a trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for the battle?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So also you, if you do not give a clear word through the language, how will it be known what [is] being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:10 @ So it may be many kinds of sounds are in [the] world, and not one [is] without a distinct sound.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:11 @ Therefore if I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to him speaking, and he speaking [will be] a foreigner to me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Even so you, since you are zealots of spiritual [things], seek to build up the church, in order that you may abound

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:13 @ So then he speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the mind; I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the mind.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Else, if you bless in the spirit, he occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not built up.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank my God [that] I speak more languages than all of you;

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:19 @ yet in a church I desire to speak five words with my mind, so that I might also teach others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brothers, do not be children in your minds, but in malice be like infants, and in your minds be mature.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written, By other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people, and even so they will not hear Me, says the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So that tongues are not a sign to those who believe, but to those who do not believe. But prophesying [is] not to those who do not believe, but to those who believe.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Therefore if the whole church has come together, and all speak in languages, and if uninstructed ones or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you rave?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or one not instructed comes, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:25 @ And so the secrets of his heart become revealed. And so, falling down on [his] face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ Then how is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If one speaks in a language, [let it be] by two, or [at] the most three, and in succession. And let one interpret.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in a church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:29 @ And [if there are] two or three prophets, let them speak, and let the others judge.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If [a revelation] is revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you may all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be comforted.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:32 @ And the spirits of the prophets [are] subject to the prophets.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the Law also says.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Or did the Word of God go out from you? Or did it reach only to you?

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a commandment of the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if any is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So then, brothers, seek to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in languages.

mkjv@1Corinthians:14:40 @ Let all things be done decently and in order.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ And, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ And last of all He was seen by me also, as one born out of time.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and am not sufficient to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace which [was] toward me has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Therefore whether [it was] I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was raised from [the] dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation [is] worthless, and your faith [is] also worthless.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are also found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we testified of God that He raised Christ; whom He did not raise if the dead are not raised.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if [the] dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ is not raised, your faith [is] foolish; you are yet in your sins.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those that fell asleep in Christ were lost.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ has risen from [the] dead, [and] has become the firstfruit of those who slept.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since death [is] through man, the resurrection of [the] dead also [is] through a Man.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in [his] own order: Christ the first-fruit, and afterward they who are Christ's at His coming;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ then [is] the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ for it is right for Him to reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy made to cease [is] death.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under [His feet], it is plain that [it] excepts Him who has put all things under Him.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subject to Him who has subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all things in all.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized on behalf of [the] dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized on behalf of [the] dead?

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why are we also in danger every hour?

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ Day by day I die, by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is to me if [the] dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be deceived; evil companionships corrupt good habits.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Be righteously awake, and sin not; for some have ignorance of God. I speak [this] to your shame.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow, you do not sow the body that [is] going to be, but a bare grain (perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest).

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:38 @ And God gives it a body as it has pleased Him, and to each of the seeds its own body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh [is] not the same flesh; but one [kind of] flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ [There are] also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly [is] truly different, and that of the earthly different;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ one glory of [the] sun, and another glory of [the] moon, and another glory of [the] stars; for [one] star differs from [another] star in glory.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:44 @ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ And so it is written, The first man, Adam, became a living soul, the last Adam was a life-giving Spirit.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:46 @ But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man [was] out of earth, earthy; the second Man [was] the Lord from Heaven.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Such the earthy [man], such also the earthy ones. And such the heavenly [Man], such also the heavenly ones.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And according as we bore the image of the earthy [man], we shall also bear the image of the heavenly [Man].

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit [the] kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the word that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:55 @ O death, where [is] your sting? O grave, where [is] your victory?

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death [is] sin, and the strength of sin [is] the law.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks [be] to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So that, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Lord.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ And concerning the collection for the saints, as I charged the churches of Galatia, so also you do.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, storing up what ever he is prospered, so that there may be no collections when I come.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I come, whomever you shall approve by [your] letters, I will send them to bring your gift to Jerusalem.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it is suitable for me to go also, they shall go with me.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia; for I am going through Macedonia.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:6 @ And it may be that I will stay with you, and even spend the winter with you, so that you may set me forward wherever I go.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not desire to see you now in passage, but I am hoping to stay some time with you, if the Lord permits.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:8 @ But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ For a great and effective door opened to me, and many [are] opposing.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, even as I [do].

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let not any despise him, but set him forward in peace, so that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As regards [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not altogether [his] will that he come now. But he will come when he has opportunity.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch! Stand fast in the faith! Be men! Be strong!

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all your things be done in charity.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ But I exhort you, brothers. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they appointed themselves to ministry to the saints.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ See that you also submit to such ones, and to everyone working and laboring with [me].

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for these supplied your lack.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; then acknowledge such ones.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in [the] Lord, with the church that is in their house.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The salutation of Paul with my own hand.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:23 @ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

mkjv@1Corinthians:16:24 @ Let my love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace [be] unto you, and peace from God our Father and [from the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ He comforting us in all our trouble, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in every trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ And if we are troubled, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, being worked out in [the] endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer; if we are comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope of you [is] certain, knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the consolation.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For, brothers, we would not have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength; so much so that we despaired even of life.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:10 @ who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we trust that He will yet deliver [us],

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ with you also helping together by prayer for us, so that the gracious gift by many persons be [the cause of] thanksgiving through many for us.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity; not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God; we have had our conduct in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write no other things to you than what you read or recognize, and I trust you shall recognize them even to the end,

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ even as you have recognized us [in] part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, so that you might have a second benefit,

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and to be brought on my way toward Judea by you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Then purposing this, did I indeed use lightness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose them according to the flesh, so that with me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not yes and no.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us; by me and Silas and Timothy; was not yes and no, but in Him was, yes!

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God in Him [are] yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But He confirming us and anointing us with you in Christ [is] God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ And He has sealed us and having given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ And I call God [as] witness to my soul that in order to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

mkjv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we have dominion over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined this within myself, that I would not come to you again in grief.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorry, who then is he who makes me glad, but the same who has been made sorry by me?

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this to you, lest when I came I should have sorrow from the [ones] of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much trouble and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, except in part; so that I not overbear all of you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:6 @ This punishment by the majority [is] enough for such a one;

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overwhelming sorrow.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ But to whom you forgive anything, I also [forgive]. For if I forgave anything, for your sakes I forgave [it] to him in the person of Christ;

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ so that we should not be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his devices.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ And, when I came to Troas to [preach] Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by [the] Lord,

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother. But taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Now thanks [be] to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and He revealing through us the odor of the knowledge of Him in every place.

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are to God a sweet savor of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the one [we are] the savor of death to death, and to the other we are the savor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

mkjv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not as many, hawking the Word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, like some, epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ [it] having been made plain that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, not having been written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but in fleshly tablets of [the] heart.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:4 @ And we have such trust through Christ toward God,

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God;

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who also has made us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministry of death, having been engraved in letters in stone was with glory (so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses because of the glory of his face), which was being done away;

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ shall not the ministry of the Spirit be with more glory?

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation [is] glorious, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed in glory.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which has been done away [was] glorious, much more that which remains [is] glorious.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Then since we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ And we are not like Moses, [who] put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of the thing being done away.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ (But their thoughts were blinded; for until the present the same veil remains on the reading of the old covenant, not taken away.) But this veil has been done away in Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:15 @ But until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is on their heart.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ But whenever it turns to [the] Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:17 @ And the Lord [is] that Spirit; and where the Spirit of [the] Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

mkjv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ But we all, with [our] face having been unveiled, having beheld the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are being changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord Spirit.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but [by] the revelation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But also if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those being lost,

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For [it is] God who said, Out of darkness Light shall shine; who shone in our hearts to [give] the brightness of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us;

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ in every [way] having been troubled, but not having been hemmed in; having been perplexed, but not utterly at a loss;

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ having been persecuted, but not having been forsaken; having been thrown down, but not having been destroyed;

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always bearing about the dying of the Lord Jesus in the body, so that the life of Jesus also might be revealed in our body.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always being delivered to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus might also be revealed in our body.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death works in us, but life in you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ For we, having the same spirit of faith (according as it is written, I believed, and therefore I have spoken); we also believed and therefore speak,

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus shall also raise us up by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things [are] for your sake, so that the superabounding grace might be made to abound through the thanksgiving of the greater number, to the glory of God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward [man] is being renewed day by day.

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For the lightness of our present affliction works out for us a far more excellent eternal weight of glory,

mkjv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ we not considering the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen; for the things which [are] seen [are] not lasting, but the things which [are] not seen [are] everlasting.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For indeed in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling-place out of Heaven;

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ if indeed [in] being clothed, we shall not be found naked.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in [this] tabernacle groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed, so that the mortal might be swallowed up by the life.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ And He who has worked in us for this same thing [is] God, who also [is] giving to us the earnest of the Spirit.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Then being always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord;

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight;

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ then we are confident and we are pleased rather to go away from home out of the body, and to come home to the Lord.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore we are also laboring to be well-pleasing to Him, whether at home or away from home.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the things done] through the body, according to that which he has done, whether good or bad.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men. But we are revealed to God, and I trust also that we are revealed in your consciences.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but are giving you occasion to glory on our behalf, so that you may have [it] to [answer] those boasting in appearance, and not in heart.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are out of our mind, [it is] to God; or [if] we are in our senses, [it is] for you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ constrains us, judging this, that if one died for all, then all died;

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and He died for all, that the living ones may live no more to themselves, but to Him who died for them and having been raised.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So as we now know no one according to flesh, but even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we no longer know [Him so.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So that if any one [is] in Christ, [that one is] a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things [are] of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ whereas God was in Christ reconciling [the] world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Then we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as God exhorting through us, we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For He has made Him who knew no sin, [to be] sin for us, that we might become [the] righteousness of God in Him.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ But working together, we also call on you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ (For He says, In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation, I helped you; Behold, now [is] the accepted time. Behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ [We are] in nothing giving cause of stumbling, in no way, so that the ministry may not be blamed,

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but in everything commending ourselves as God's servants, in much patience, in troubles, in emergencies, in distresses,

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in stripes, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:6 @ in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:7 @ in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, through the weapons of righteousness on the right [hand] and on the left,

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers and [yet] true;

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and [yet] well known; as dying and, behold, we live; as chastened and not killed;

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, [yet] possessing all things.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians, our mouth is opened to you, our heart has been enlarged.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restrained in us, but you are restrained in your own affections.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ But for the same reward, (I speak as to children), you also be enlarged.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be unequally yoked together [with] unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness [have] with lawlessness? And what partnership does light [have] with darkness?

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ And what agreement does Christ [have] with Belial? Or what part does a believer [have] with an unbeliever?

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement does a temple of God [have] with idols? For you are the temple of [the] living God, as God has said, I will dwell in them and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from among them and be separated, says the Lord, and do not touch the unclean [thing]. And I will receive you

mkjv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Then having these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us. We wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we overreached no one.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not speak [this] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts for [us] to die together, and to live together.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ My boldness of speech [is] great toward you; my glorying on your behalf [is] much. I have been filled with comfort, I am overflowing with joy on all our trouble.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For, indeed, coming into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but being troubled in every way, [with] fightings [on the] outside, and fears [on the] inside.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But He who comforts the lowly comforted us by the coming of Titus.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ And not only by his coming, but by the comfort with which he was comforted over you, telling us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret; if indeed I did regret; for I see that that letter grieved you for an hour.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to God, so that you might suffer loss by nothing in us.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but [also] defense; but [also] indignation; but [also] fear; but [also desire; but [also] zeal; but also] vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear in the matter.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Then, though I wrote to you, [it was] not on account of the one who did wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered wrong, but for the sake of revealing our earnestness on your behalf, for you before God.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort, and we rather rejoiced more abundantly over the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted anything about you to him, I was not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting as to Titus became truth.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his tender feelings are more abundant toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, as you received him with fear and trembling.

mkjv@2Corinthians:7:16 @ Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ And, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given among the churches of Macedonia;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:2 @ that in much testing of trouble, the overflowing of their joy, and the depth of their poverty, abounded to the riches of their generosity.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I testify [that] according to [their] ability, and beyond their ability; [they] gave willingly;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ with much beseeching, begging us [that they might] receive of us the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And not as we hoped, but first [they] gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through [the] will of God,

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ for us to call on Titus, that even as he began before, so he would also complete this grace to you also.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But even as you abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us; you should abound in this grace also.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I do not speak according to command, but through the eagerness of others, and testing the trueness of your love.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, in order that you might be made rich through His poverty.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give [my] judgment; for this is profitable for you, who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now also finish the doing [of it], so that, as [there was] a readiness to will, so also the finishing, [giving] out of [what] you have.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the eagerness is present, [it is] acceptable according to [what] one has, [and] not according to [what] one does not have.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For [it is] not that others may [have] ease, but you trouble;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by equality in the present time; your abundance for their need, that their abundance also may be for your need; so that there may be equality;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, He [gathering] much, he had nothing left over; and he [gathering] little did not have less.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For indeed he accepted the entreaty. But being more earnest, of his own accord he went to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent with him the brothers whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only [so], but also he having been chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself, and [as a witness of] your eager mind;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us;

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ providing for honest things, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest by the great confidence which [I have] in you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If anyone inquires of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellow-worker for you, or [of] our brothers, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [the] glory of Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show them a proof of your love and of our boasting toward you in the presence of the churches.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ For indeed regarding the ministry to the saints, it is not necessary for me to write to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your eagerness, of which I boast to Macedonia on your behalf, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has aroused the greater number.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I sent the brothers, lest our boasting (which [is] on your behalf) should not be in vain, that, as I said, you may be ready.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ [I say this] lest perhaps Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared. We (not to say you) would then be put to shame in this confident boasting.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought [it] necessary to exhort the brothers that they would go forward to you, and make up beforehand your blessing, it having been promised that this would be ready, thus as a matter of] blessing, and not as of covetousness.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But [I say] this, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one, as he purposes in his heart, [let him give]; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self-sufficiency, you may abound to every good work;

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written, He scattered; he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, may He supply and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:11 @ you being enriched in everything to all generosity, which works out thanksgiving to God through us.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service not only supplies the things lacking of the saints, but also multiplying through many thanksgivings to God,

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ through the proof of this ministry [they] glorify God for your freely expressed submission to the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of the fellowship toward them and toward all,

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ and [in] their prayer for you, who long after you, because of the exceeding grace of God on you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks [be] to God for His unspeakable free gift.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:1 @ And I myself, Paul, beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ; I, who indeed to look upon [am] lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I ask, not being present, that I may be bold with the confidence which I think to be daring against some, who thought [of] us as walking according to flesh.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though walking about in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ pulling down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ;

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and having readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to appearance? If anyone has persuaded himself that he [is] Christ's, let him think this again as to himself, that as he [is] Christ's, even so we [are] Christ's.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I also should boast somewhat more fully of our authority (which the Lord has given us for building up, and not for pulling you down) I will not be put to shame;

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ so that I might not seem to terrify you by letters.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For indeed they say, the letters [are] weighty and powerful, but the bodily presence [is] weak, and his speech is contemptible.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a one think this, that, such as we [are] in word by letters, being absent, such [we will be] also in deed when we are present.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to rank or compare ourselves with some of the ones commending themselves. But they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, are not perceptive.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure distributed to us, to reach even to you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we do not overstretch ourselves as [though] not reaching to you. For we also came to you in the gospel of Christ;

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but having hope that the growing faith among you will be increased according to our rule, to overflowing;

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in that beyond you, and not to boast in another's rule in things made ready.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:17 @ But he who glories, let him glory in [the] Lord.

mkjv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For not he who commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I would that you were bearing with me a little in foolishness; but indeed bear with me.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous [over] you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one Man, to present [you as] a pure virgin to Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the simplicity due to Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if, indeed, the [one] coming proclaims another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or [if] you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you never accepted, you might well endure [these.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I judge [myself] to have come behind the highest apostles [in] nothing.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ But even if [I am] unskilled in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in every way [I] have been clearly revealed to you in all things.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Or did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I stripped other churches, taking wages for the serving of you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And being present with you, and in need, I was not a burden to anyone. For the brothers from Macedonia made up completely my need. And in every way I have kept myself from being burdensome [to you], and I will keep myself.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ The truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be silenced in me in the regions of Achaia.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, that I will do, so that I may cut off occasion from those who desire occasion; so that in the thing in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such ones [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:14 @ Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:16 @ Again I say, Let no one think me foolish. If otherwise, yet receive me as foolish, so that I may also boast a little.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this boldness of boasting.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since many glory according to the flesh, I also will boast.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you gladly bear with fools, being wise.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you endure if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours, if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you in the face.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I speak according to dishonor, as though we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares (I speak foolishly), I also dare.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they the seed of Abraham? I also!

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I [am] more! [I have been] in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more, in deaths many times.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times from the Jews I received forty [stripes] minus one.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a night and a day in the deep.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:26 @ I have been in travels often; in dangers from waters; in dangers from robbers; in dangers from [my] race; in dangers from [the] heathen; in dangers in [the] city; in dangers in [ the] wilderness; in dangers on [the sea; in dangers among false brothers.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:27 @ [I have been] in hardship and toil; often in watchings; in hunger and thirst; often in fastings; in cold and nakedness;

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:28 @ besides the things outside conspiring against me daily, the care of all the churches.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn?

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If it is right to boast, I will boast [of] the things of my weakness.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I do not lie.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of [the] Damascenes, desiring to lay hold of me.

mkjv@2Corinthians:11:33 @ And I was let down in a basket through a window through the wall, and escaped their hands.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ Indeed, it is not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ fourteen years before (whether in [the] body, I do not know; or outside of [the] body, I do not know; God knows) such a one [was] caught up to [the] third Heaven.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows),

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not allowed for a man to utter.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ I will glory of such a one, yet I will not boast on my behalf, except in my weaknesses.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For if I desire to boast, I shall not be foolish. For I will speak the truth. But I spare, lest anyone should think of me as [being] beyond what he sees me, or hears of me;

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and by the surpassing revelations, lest I be made haughty, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be made haughty.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:8 @ For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am powerful.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become foolish boasting. You compelled me. For I ought to be commended by you. For I lacked nothing of the highest apostles, if even I am nothing.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of the apostle were worked out among you in all patience, in miracles and in wonders, and by works of power.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, a third [time] I am ready to come to you. And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls, even if loving you more and more, I am loved [the] less.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But let it be so, I did not burden you. But being crafty, I caught you with bait.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ By any whom I have sent to you, did I overreach you by him?

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus and sent with [him] the brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we] not walk] in the same steps?

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do you think we are defending ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ, but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your building up.

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest somehow coming I might not find you as I wish, and [that] I shall be found by you such as you might not wish; lest somehow [there be] strifes, envyings, angers, contentions, backbitings, whisperings, proud thoughts, tumults;

mkjv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest in my coming again my God will humble me with you; and I shall mourn many who have already sinned, and not repenting over the uncleanness, and fornication, and lustfulness which they have practiced.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ I am coming to you this third [time]. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I told you before, and I say beforehand, as being present the second [time] and being absent now. I write to those who sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:3 @ Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me (who is not weak toward you, but is powerful in you;

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ for even if He was crucified out of weakness, yet He lives by [the] power of God. For indeed even we are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by [the] power of God toward you),

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith, prove your own selves. Do you not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reprobates?

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you will know that we are not reprobates.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ But I pray to God [for] you not to do evil, none. And not that we may appear approved, but that you should do the good things, though we are deemed to be reprobates.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak, and you are powerful. But we pray also for this, your perfection.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ Therefore I write these things while absent, lest being present I may not deal sharply [with you] according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brothers, rejoice. Perfect yourselves; encourage yourselves; mind the same thing; be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss.

mkjv@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All the saints greet you.

mkjv@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

mkjv@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.

mkjv@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace [be] to you, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father,

mkjv@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you so soon are being moved away from Him who called you into [the] grace of Christ, to another gospel,

mkjv@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

mkjv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we said before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches a gospel to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed.

mkjv@Galatians:1:10 @ For now do I persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ And, brothers, I make known to you the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

mkjv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught [it] except by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you heard my manner of life when [I was] in Judaism, that I persecuted the church of God with surpassing [zeal], and ravaged it.

mkjv@Galatians:1:14 @ And I progressed in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being much more a zealot of the traditions of my fathers.

mkjv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and having called [me] by His grace,

mkjv@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood;

mkjv@Galatians:1:17 @ Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.

mkjv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

mkjv@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the Lord's brother.

mkjv@Galatians:1:20 @ And what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

mkjv@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,

mkjv@Galatians:1:22 @ and was unknown by face to the churches of Judea in Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:1:23 @ But only they were hearing that he who then persecuted us, now preaches the faith which he once ravaged.

mkjv@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God in me.

mkjv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then through fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.

mkjv@Galatians:2:2 @ And I went up by revelation. And I put before them the gospel which I proclaim in the nations, but privately to those [seeming to be] pillars, lest I run, or I ran, into vanity.

mkjv@Galatians:2:3 @ (But not even Titus, the [one] with me, a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.)

mkjv@Galatians:2:4 @ But because of those false brothers stealing in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus; they desiring to enslave us;

mkjv@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

mkjv@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who seemed to be something (what kind they were then does not matter to me; God does not accept the face of man), for those seeming [important] conferred nothing to me.

mkjv@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, seeing that I have been entrusted [with] the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter to the circumcision;

mkjv@Galatians:2:8 @ for He working in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision also worked in me to the nations.

mkjv@Galatians:2:9 @ and knowing the grace given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave right hands of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we [go] to the nations, but they to the circumcision.

mkjv@Galatians:2:10 @ Only [they asked] that we remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do.

mkjv@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed [him] to his face, because he was to be blamed.

mkjv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

mkjv@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so as even Barnabas was led away with their dissembling.

mkjv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you, being a Jew, live as a Gentile, and not as the Jews, why do you compel [the] nations to judaize?

mkjv@Galatians:2:15 @ We Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations,

mkjv@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not justified by works of the Law, but through faith [in] Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.

mkjv@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we also were found [to be] sinners, [is] Christ therefore a minister of sin? Let it not be [said]!

mkjv@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I confirm myself [as] a transgressor.

mkjv@Galatians:2:19 @ For through the Law I died to the law, that I might live to God.

mkjv@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; [yet] no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And [that] life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf.

mkjv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness [is] through law, then Christ died without cause.

mkjv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, to whom before [your] eyes Jesus Christ was written among you crucified?

mkjv@Galatians:3:2 @ This only I would learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of [the] law, or by hearing of faith?

mkjv@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun in [the] Spirit, do you now perfect [yourself] in the flesh?

mkjv@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you suffer so many things in vain, if indeed [it is] even in vain?

mkjv@Galatians:3:5 @ Then He supplying the Spirit to you and working powerful works in you, [is it] by works of [the] law, or by hearing of faith?

mkjv@Galatians:3:6 @ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

mkjv@Galatians:3:7 @ Therefore know that those of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

mkjv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations through faith, preached the gospel before to Abraham, [saying], In you shall all nations be blessed.

mkjv@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

mkjv@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are out of works of the Law, these are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed [is] everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the Book of the Law, to do them.

mkjv@Galatians:3:11 @ But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of God [is] clear, for, The just shall live by faith.

mkjv@Galatians:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith; but, The man who does these things shall live in them.

mkjv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed [is] everyone having been hanged on a tree);

mkjv@Galatians:3:14 @ so that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

mkjv@Galatians:3:15 @ Brothers, I speak according to man, a covenant having been ratified, even [among] mankind, no one sets aside or adds to [it].

mkjv@Galatians:3:16 @ And to Abraham and to his Seed the promises were spoken. It does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your Seed, which is Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:3:17 @ And I say this, A covenant having been ratified by God in Christ, the Law (coming into being four hundred and thirty years after) does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it.

mkjv@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance [is] of Law, [it is] no more of promise; but God gave [it] to Abraham by way of promise.

mkjv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the Law? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come [to those] to whom it had been promised, being ordained through angels in the Mediator's hand.

mkjv@Galatians:3:20 @ But the Mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one.

mkjv@Galatians:3:21 @ [Is] the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be [said]! For if a law had been given which could have given life, indeed righteousness would have been out of Law.

mkjv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture shut up all under sin, so that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

mkjv@Galatians:3:23 @ But before faith came, we were kept under Law, having been shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

mkjv@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the Law has become a trainer of us until Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

mkjv@Galatians:3:25 @ But faith coming, we are no longer under a trainer.

mkjv@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many as were baptized into Christ, you put on Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:3:28 @ There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you [are] Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.

mkjv@Galatians:4:1 @ But I say, Over so long a time the heir is an infant, he does not differ from a slave, though being lord of all;

mkjv@Galatians:4:2 @ but he is under guardians and housemasters until the term appointed before by the father.

mkjv@Galatians:4:3 @ Even so we, when we were infants, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

mkjv@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under Law,

mkjv@Galatians:4:5 @ that He might redeem those under Law, so that we might receive the adoption of sons.

mkjv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

mkjv@Galatians:4:7 @ So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:4:8 @ But then, indeed, not knowing God, you served as slaves [to] those not by nature being gods.

mkjv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now, knowing God, but rather are known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements to which you again desire to slave anew?

mkjv@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and times and years.

mkjv@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear [for] you, lest somehow I have labored among you in vain.

mkjv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brothers, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as you. You have not injured me at all.

mkjv@Galatians:4:13 @ But you know that through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you before,

mkjv@Galatians:4:14 @ and you did not despise my temptation in my flesh, nor did you spurn [it]. But you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Galatians:4:15 @ What then was your blessedness? For I bear you record that, if you were able, plucking out your eyes, [you] would have given [them] to me.

mkjv@Galatians:4:16 @ So then did I become your enemy speaking to you the truth?

mkjv@Galatians:4:17 @ They are zealous for you, [but] not well. But they [only] desire to shut you out, that you be zealous to them.

mkjv@Galatians:4:18 @ But [it is] good to be zealous always in [a] good [thing], and not only in my being present with you.

mkjv@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, [for] whom I again travail until Christ should be formed in you,

mkjv@Galatians:4:20 @ even now I desired to be present with you, and to change my voice; for I am in doubt [as] to you.

mkjv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, those desiring to be under Law, do you not hear the Law?

mkjv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written: Abraham had two sons, the one out of the slave-woman, and one out of the free woman.

mkjv@Galatians:4:23 @ But, indeed, he out of the slave-woman has been born according to flesh, and he out of the free woman through the promise;

mkjv@Galatians:4:24 @ which things are being allegorized; for these are the two covenants, one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery, which is Hagar.

mkjv@Galatians:4:25 @ For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in slavery with her children.

mkjv@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem [from] above is free, who is the mother of us all.

mkjv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, barren one not bearing; break forth and shout, you not travailing; for more are the children of the desolate than she having the husband.

mkjv@Galatians:4:28 @ But brothers, we, like Isaac, are children of promise.

mkjv@Galatians:4:29 @ But then even as he born according to flesh persecuted him [born] according to the Spirit, so it is] also now.

mkjv@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the Scripture say? Cast out the slave-woman and her son; for in no way shall the son of the slave-woman inherit with the son of the free woman.

mkjv@Galatians:4:31 @ Then, brothers, we are not children of a slave-woman, but of the free woman.

mkjv@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and do not again be held with the yoke of bondage.

mkjv@Galatians:5:2 @ Behold, I, Paul, say to you that if you are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

mkjv@Galatians:5:3 @ For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do all the Law,

mkjv@Galatians:5:4 @ you who are justified by Law are deprived of all effect from Christ; you fell from grace.

mkjv@Galatians:5:5 @ For we through [the] Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness out of faith.

mkjv@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength, but faith working through love.

mkjv@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running well. Who hindered you [that] you do not obey the truth?

mkjv@Galatians:5:8 @ [This] persuasion [is] not from Him who calls you.

mkjv@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven leavens all the lump.

mkjv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you in the Lord, that you will think nothing else, but that he troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

mkjv@Galatians:5:11 @ And I, brothers, if I yet proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the offense of the Cross has ceased.

mkjv@Galatians:5:12 @ I wish that those causing you to doubt will cut themselves off.

mkjv@Galatians:5:13 @ For, brothers, you were called to liberty. Only do not [use] the liberty for [an] opening to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

mkjv@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

mkjv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

mkjv@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, then, Walk in [the] Spirit and you shall not fulfill [the] lusts of [the] flesh.

mkjv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.

mkjv@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by [the] Spirit, you are not under law.

mkjv@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,

mkjv@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

mkjv@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

mkjv@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

mkjv@Galatians:5:23 @ meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

mkjv@Galatians:5:24 @ But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with [its] passions and lusts.

mkjv@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live in [the] Spirit, let us also walk in [the] Spirit.

mkjv@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become glory-seeking, provoking one another, envying one another.

mkjv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brothers, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

mkjv@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.

mkjv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another.

mkjv@Galatians:6:5 @ For each one will bear [his] own load.

mkjv@Galatians:6:6 @ But let him who is taught in the Word share with the [one] teaching in all good things.

mkjv@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.

mkjv@Galatians:6:8 @ For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.

mkjv@Galatians:6:9 @ But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if [we] do not faint.

mkjv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.

mkjv@Galatians:6:11 @ See in what large letters I write to you with my hand.

mkjv@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to look well in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

mkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For they themselves, having been circumcised, do not even keep the Law, but they desire you to be circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

mkjv@Galatians:6:14 @ But may it never be for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

mkjv@Galatians:6:15 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision [has] any strength, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

mkjv@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy [be] upon them and upon the Israel of God.

mkjv@Galatians:6:17 @ For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

mkjv@Galatians:6:18 @ Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and [from the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:1:4 @ according as He chose us in Him before [the] foundation of [the] world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:5 @ having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:6 @ to [the] praise of [the] glory of His grace, in which He has made us accepted in the [One] having been loved.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:8 @ which He caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding;

mkjv@Ephesians:1:9 @ having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:10 @ for an administration of the fullness of times, to head up all things in Christ, both the things in Heaven, and the things on earth, [even] in Him,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:11 @ in whom also we have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:12 @ for us to be to [the] praise of His glory, who previously had trusted in Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:1:13 @ in whom also you, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation, in whom also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:14 @ who is the earnest of our inheritance, to [the] redemption of the purchased possession, to [the] praise of His glory.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:15 @ Therefore I also, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love to all the saints,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in [the] knowledge of Him,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what [is] the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones believing according to the working of His mighty strength

mkjv@Ephesians:1:20 @ which He worked [in] Christ in raising Him from [the] dead, and He seated [Him] at His right hand in the heavenlies,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name being named, not only in this world, but also in the coming age.

mkjv@Ephesians:1:22 @ And He has put all [things] under His feet and gave Him [to be] Head over all [things] to the church,

mkjv@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:1 @ And He [has made you alive], who were once dead in trespasses and sins,

mkjv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience;

mkjv@Ephesians:2:3 @ among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love [with] which He loved us

mkjv@Ephesians:2:5 @ (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

mkjv@Ephesians:2:6 @ and has raised [us] up together and made [us] sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

mkjv@Ephesians:2:7 @ so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God,

mkjv@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are [His] workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that you, the nations, in time past [were] in [the] flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

mkjv@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the blood of Christ.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For He is our peace, He making us both one, and [He] has broken down the middle wall of partition [between us],

mkjv@Ephesians:2:15 @ having abolished in His flesh the enmity (the Law of commandments [contained] in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, making peace [between them];

mkjv@Ephesians:2:16 @ and so that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity in Himself.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:17 @ And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:18 @ For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

mkjv@Ephesians:2:19 @ Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

mkjv@Ephesians:2:20 @ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being [the] chief cornerstone,

mkjv@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

mkjv@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through [the] Spirit.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this cause, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you nations,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to me toward you,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I wrote before in few words,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:4 @ by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

mkjv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:6 @ that the nations should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partaker of His promise in Christ through the gospel.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this [gospel] I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of His power.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:8 @ This grace is given to me ( who am] less than the least of all saints) to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to bring to light what [is] the fellowship of the mystery which from eternity has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:3:10 @ so that now to the rulers and powers in the heavenlies might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

mkjv@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through His faith.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:13 @ For this reason I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:15 @ of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:16 @ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;

mkjv@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:18 @ may be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

mkjv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

mkjv@Ephesians:3:21 @ to Him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, the prisoner in [the] Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you are called,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:3 @ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:4 @ [There is] one body and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:5 @ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who [is] above all and through all and in you all.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore He says, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

mkjv@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is the same also as He who ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)

mkjv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And truly He gave some [to be] apostles, and some [to be] prophets, and some [to be] evangelists, and some [to be] pastors and teachers,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:12 @ for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:13 @ And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to [the] measure of [the] stature of the fullness of Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:4:14 @ so that we no longer may be infants, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, in the dishonesty of men, in cunning craftiness, to the wiles of deceit.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:15 @ But that you, speaking the truth in love, may in all things grow up to Him who is the Head, [even] Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, fitted together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to [the] effectual working in the measure of each part, producing the growth of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say therefore, and testify in [the] Lord, that you should not walk from now on as other nations walk, in [the] vanity of their mind,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:18 @ having the understanding darkened, being alienated [from] the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:19 @ For they, being past feeling, have given themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you have not so learned Christ,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:21 @ if indeed you have heard Him and were taught by Him, as [the] truth is in Jesus.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:22 @ For you ought to put off the old man (according to your way of living before) who is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:24 @ And you should put on the new man, who according to God [was] created in righteousness and true holiness.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore putting away lying, let each man speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:26 @ Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath,

mkjv@Ephesians:4:27 @ neither give place to the Devil.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with [his] hands the thing which [is] good, so that he may have [something] to give to him who needs.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let not any filthy word go out of your mouth, but if any [is] good to building up [in respect of] need, that it may give grace to the ones hearing.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed until [the] day of redemption.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and tumult and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

mkjv@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be followers of God, as dear children.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:3 @ For let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness not be once named among you, as becomes saints,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:4 @ neither baseness, foolish talking, jesting, which are not becoming, but rather giving of thanks.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous [one] (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not be partakers with them.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now [you are] light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light

mkjv@Ephesians:5:9 @ (for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

mkjv@Ephesians:5:10 @ proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:11 @ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].

mkjv@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest [is] light.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore he says, Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:16 @ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord [is].

mkjv@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:19 @ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

mkjv@Ephesians:5:20 @ always giving thanks for all things to God [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:21 @ submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, submit yourselves to [your] own husbands, as to the Lord.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ [is] the head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:24 @ Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,

mkjv@Ephesians:5:27 @ that He might present it to Himself [as] the glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:28 @ So men ought to love their wives as their [own] bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever yet hated his [own] flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord loves the church.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:30 @ For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:31 @ For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

mkjv@Ephesians:5:33 @ But also let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself, and the wife that she defers to her husband.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:2 @ Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),

mkjv@Ephesians:6:3 @ so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:4 @ And fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, obey [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

mkjv@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] heart,

mkjv@Ephesians:6:7 @ with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men

mkjv@Ephesians:6:8 @ (knowing that whatever good thing he does, he shall receive the same from the Lord, whether [he is] a slave or a freeman).

mkjv@Ephesians:6:9 @ And masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, knowing that your Master also is in Heaven. There is no respect of persons with Him.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, my brothers, be strong in [the] Lord and in the power of His might.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

mkjv@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take to yourselves the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Therefore stand, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness

mkjv@Ephesians:6:15 @ and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:16 @ Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:17 @ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,

mkjv@Ephesians:6:18 @ praying always with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:19 @ And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

mkjv@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:21 @ But, so that you also may know my affairs [and] how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make known to you all things,

mkjv@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs and [that] he might comfort your hearts.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace to the brothers, and love with faith, from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Ephesians:6:24 @ Grace [be] with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

mkjv@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons.

mkjv@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and from [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

mkjv@Philippians:1:4 @ always in every prayer of mine making [my] request for you all with joy

mkjv@Philippians:1:5 @ for your fellowship in the gospel from [the] first day until now;

mkjv@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Philippians:1:7 @ even as it is righteous for me to think this of you all, because you have me in your heart, inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partakers of my grace.

mkjv@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how greatly I long after you all in [the] bowels of Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and [in] all perception;

mkjv@Philippians:1:10 @ that you may distinguish [between] things that differ, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Philippians:1:11 @ being filled [with the] fruits of righteousness through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

mkjv@Philippians:1:12 @ But I desire that you should understand, brothers, that the things [which happened] to me have fallen out rather to [the] furtherance of the gospel;

mkjv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places].

mkjv@Philippians:1:14 @ And most of the brothers in [the] Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

mkjv@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed even preach Christ because of envy and strife, and some also of good will.

mkjv@Philippians:1:16 @ Those, indeed, preach Christ out of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds.

mkjv@Philippians:1:17 @ But these [others] preach in love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.

mkjv@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And I rejoice in this. Yet, also I will rejoice.

mkjv@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and [the] supply of [the] Spirit of Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but as always now Christ shall be magnified in my body with all boldness, whether it is by life or by death.

mkjv@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

mkjv@Philippians:1:22 @ But if [I] live in [the] flesh, this [is] the fruit of [my] labor. Yet I do not know what I shall choose.

mkjv@Philippians:1:23 @ For I am pressed together by the two: having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.

mkjv@Philippians:1:24 @ But to remain in the flesh [is] more needful for you.

mkjv@Philippians:1:25 @ And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your advancement and joy of faith,

mkjv@Philippians:1:26 @ so that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

mkjv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your [affairs], that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

mkjv@Philippians:1:28 @ and terrified in nothing by your adversaries. [For this is] to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

mkjv@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it is given on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

mkjv@Philippians:1:30 @ having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.

mkjv@Philippians:2:1 @ If [there is] therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any tendernesses and mercies,

mkjv@Philippians:2:2 @ then fulfill my joy, that you may be like-minded, having the same love, [being] of one accord and of one mind.

mkjv@Philippians:2:3 @ [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

mkjv@Philippians:2:4 @ Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also [on] the things of others.

mkjv@Philippians:2:5 @ For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

mkjv@Philippians:2:6 @ who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal with God,

mkjv@Philippians:2:7 @ but made Himself of no reputation, and took [upon Himself] the form of a servant, and was made in [the] likeness of men.

mkjv@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself [and] became obedient unto death, even [the] death of the cross.

mkjv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name [which is] above every name,

mkjv@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly ones, and of earthly ones, and of ones under [the] earth;

mkjv@Philippians:2:11 @ and [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to [the] glory of God [the] Father.

mkjv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.

mkjv@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of [His] good pleasure.

mkjv@Philippians:2:14 @ Do all things without murmurings and disputings,

mkjv@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world,

mkjv@Philippians:2:16 @ holding forth the word of life, so that I may rejoice with you in [the] day of Christ, that I have not run in vain nor labored in vain.

mkjv@Philippians:2:17 @ Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all.

mkjv@Philippians:2:18 @ And you also rejoice [in] the same, and rejoice with me.

mkjv@Philippians:2:19 @ But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, so that I also may be of good comfort when I know [your state].

mkjv@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one who is like-minded, who will naturally care for [your state].

mkjv@Philippians:2:21 @ For all seek their own, not the things which are of Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

mkjv@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him presently, as soon as I shall see the things about me.

mkjv@Philippians:2:24 @ But I trust in [the] Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.

mkjv@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and he who ministered to my wants.

mkjv@Philippians:2:26 @ For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness, because you had heard that he had been sick.

mkjv@Philippians:2:27 @ For indeed he was sick, coming near death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

mkjv@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, so that you may rejoice when you see him again, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

mkjv@Philippians:2:29 @ Therefore receive him in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor,

mkjv@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he was near death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

mkjv@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brothers, rejoice in [the] Lord. To write the same things to you is indeed not grievous to me, but for you [it is] safe.

mkjv@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision party.

mkjv@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision who worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh;

mkjv@Philippians:3:4 @ though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks that he has reason to trust in the flesh, I more.

mkjv@Philippians:3:5 @ I was circumcised [the] eighth day, of [the] stock of Israel, [of the] tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews. As regards the Law, [I was] a Pharisee;

mkjv@Philippians:3:6 @ concerning zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in the Law, blameless.

mkjv@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

mkjv@Philippians:3:8 @ But no, rather, I also count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them [to be] dung, so that I may win Christ

mkjv@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but through [the] faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith,

mkjv@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death;

mkjv@Philippians:3:11 @ if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.

mkjv@Philippians:3:12 @ Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I also was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not count myself to have taken possession, but one [thing I do], forgetting the things behind and reaching forward to the things before,

mkjv@Philippians:3:14 @ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us therefore, as many as [are] perfect, be of this mind. And if in anything you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.

mkjv@Philippians:3:16 @ Yet, as to what we have already attained, let us walk in the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

mkjv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brothers, be imitators together of me, and mark those who walk this way, for you have us [for] a pattern.

mkjv@Philippians:3:18 @ (For many are walking, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, [as] the enemies of the cross of Christ;

mkjv@Philippians:3:19 @ whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, [those] who mind earthly things.)

mkjv@Philippians:3:20 @ For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Savior, [the] Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Philippians:3:21 @ who shall change our body of humiliation so that it may be fashioned like His glorious body, according to the working of His power, even to subdue all things to Himself.

mkjv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brothers, ones loved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand fast in this way in [the] Lord, beloved ones.

mkjv@Philippians:4:2 @ I beg Euodia and Syntyche that they be of the same mind in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I also beg you, true yoke-fellow, help those women who labored in the gospel with me and with Clement, and others of my fellow-laborers, whose names [are] in the Book of Life.

mkjv@Philippians:4:4 @ Rejoice in [the] Lord always. Again I say, Rejoice!

mkjv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

mkjv@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

mkjv@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] honest, whatever [things are] right, whatever [things are] pure, whatever [things are] lovely, whatever things are] of good report; if there is] any virtue and if [there is] any praise, think on these things.

mkjv@Philippians:4:9 @ Do those things which you have also learned and received and heard and seen in me. And the God of peace shall be with you.

mkjv@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me has flourished again. Although you indeed did think, but you lacked opportunity.

mkjv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak according to need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.

mkjv@Philippians:4:12 @ I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

mkjv@Philippians:4:13 @ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

mkjv@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet you did well in sharing my troubles.

mkjv@Philippians:4:15 @ Now you Philippians know also that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as regards giving and receiving, except you alone.

mkjv@Philippians:4:16 @ For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my necessity.

mkjv@Philippians:4:17 @ I do not say this because I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

mkjv@Philippians:4:18 @ But I have all, and abound. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things [which you sent], an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God.

mkjv@Philippians:4:19 @ But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Philippians:4:20 @ Now unto God and our Father [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

mkjv@Philippians:4:22 @ All the saints greet you, most of all those who are of Caesar's household.

mkjv@Philippians:4:23 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

mkjv@Colossians:1:1 @ Paul, [an] apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,

mkjv@Colossians:1:2 @ to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and from [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

mkjv@Colossians:1:4 @ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [you have] to all the saints,

mkjv@Colossians:1:5 @ for the hope which is laid up for you in Heaven, of which you heard before in the Word of the truth of the gospel,

mkjv@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you as [it has] also in all the world, and it is bearing fruit, even also among you, since the day you heard and fully knew the grace of God in truth,

mkjv@Colossians:1:7 @ even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

mkjv@Colossians:1:8 @ he also having shown your love in [the] Spirit to us.

mkjv@Colossians:1:9 @ For this cause we also, since the day we heard, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled [with] the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

mkjv@Colossians:1:10 @ that you might walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

mkjv@Colossians:1:11 @ being empowered with all power, according to the might of His glory, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness,

mkjv@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.

mkjv@Colossians:1:13 @ [For He] has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated [us] into the kingdom of His dear Son;

mkjv@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.

mkjv@Colossians:1:15 @ who is [the] image of the invisible God, [the] First-born of all creation.

mkjv@Colossians:1:16 @ For all things were created in Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him.

mkjv@Colossians:1:17 @ And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

mkjv@Colossians:1:18 @ And He is [the] Head of the body, the church, who is [the] Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things.

mkjv@Colossians:1:19 @ For it pleased [the Father] that in Him all fullness should dwell.

mkjv@Colossians:1:20 @ And through Him having made peace through the blood of His cross, it pleased the Father to reconcile all things to Himself through Him, whether the things on earth or the things in Heaven.

mkjv@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, who were once alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

mkjv@Colossians:1:22 @ in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish, and without charge in His sight,

mkjv@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [are] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard [and] which was proclaimed in all the creation under Heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister,

mkjv@Colossians:1:24 @ who now rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and I fill up the things lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, on behalf of His body, which [is] the church;

mkjv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister, according to the administration of God given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God;

mkjv@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

mkjv@Colossians:1:27 @ [For to them] God would make known what [are] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

mkjv@Colossians:1:28 @ whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@Colossians:1:29 @ For which I also labor, striving according to the working of Him who works in me in power.

mkjv@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face in [the] flesh,

mkjv@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

mkjv@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

mkjv@Colossians:2:4 @ And I say this that not anyone should beguile you with enticing words.

mkjv@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

mkjv@Colossians:2:6 @ Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in Him,

mkjv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

mkjv@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest anyone rob you through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.

mkjv@Colossians:2:9 @ For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

mkjv@Colossians:2:10 @ And you are complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and power,

mkjv@Colossians:2:11 @ in whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,

mkjv@Colossians:2:12 @ buried with Him in baptism, in whom also you were raised through the faith of the working of God, raising Him from the dead.

mkjv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

mkjv@Colossians:2:14 @ blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

mkjv@Colossians:2:15 @ Having stripped rulers and authorities, He made a show of them publicly, triumphing [over] them in it.

mkjv@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or in respect of a feast, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths.

mkjv@Colossians:2:17 @ For these are a shadow of things to come, but the body [is] of Christ.

mkjv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one defraud you, delighting in humility and worship of the angels, intruding into things which he has not seen, without a cause [being] vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

mkjv@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding the Head, from whom all the body, having been supplied through the joints and bands, and having been joined together, will grow with the growth of God.

mkjv@Colossians:2:20 @ If then you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as [though] living in [the] world, are you subject to [its] ordinances:

mkjv@Colossians:2:21 @ touch not, taste not, handle not;

mkjv@Colossians:2:22 @ which things are all for corruption in the using, according to the commands and doctrines of men?

mkjv@Colossians:2:23 @ [These] things indeed have a reputation of wisdom in self-imposed worship and humility, and unsparing severity of the] body, not in any honor for the satisfying of the flesh.

mkjv@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at [the] right hand of God.

mkjv@Colossians:3:2 @ Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth.

mkjv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.

mkjv@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ our Life [is] revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

mkjv@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (which is idolatry),

mkjv@Colossians:3:6 @ on account of which things' sake the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience,

mkjv@Colossians:3:7 @ among whom you also once walked, when you lived in these.

mkjv@Colossians:3:8 @ But now also put off all [these] things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, shameful speech out of your mouth.

mkjv@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds

mkjv@Colossians:3:10 @ and having put on the new, having been renewed in knowledge according to [the] image of Him who created him,

mkjv@Colossians:3:11 @ where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, slave [or] freeman, but Christ [is] all things in all.

mkjv@Colossians:3:12 @ Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender feelings of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering,

mkjv@Colossians:3:13 @ forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you [do].

mkjv@Colossians:3:14 @ And above all these things [put on] love, which is [the] bond of perfectness.

mkjv@Colossians:3:15 @ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.

mkjv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

mkjv@Colossians:3:17 @ And everything, whatever you do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and [the] Father by Him.

mkjv@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, be subject to [your] own husbands, as is becoming in [the] Lord.

mkjv@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love [your] wives, and do not be bitter against them.

mkjv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey [your] parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

mkjv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they be discouraged.

mkjv@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey [your] masters according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

mkjv@Colossians:3:23 @ And whatever you do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord and not to men;

mkjv@Colossians:3:24 @ knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve [the] Lord Christ.

mkjv@Colossians:3:25 @ But he who does wrong shall receive [justice] for the wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.

mkjv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, give to [your] slaves what [is] just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in Heaven.

mkjv@Colossians:4:2 @ Continue in prayer and watch in it with thanksgiving,

mkjv@Colossians:4:3 @ praying together about us also, that God may open to us a door of the Word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I also have been bound,

mkjv@Colossians:4:4 @ that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

mkjv@Colossians:4:5 @ Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside, redeeming the time.

mkjv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech [be] always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

mkjv@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in [the] Lord, will make known to you all things about me.

mkjv@Colossians:4:8 @ I sent [him] to you for this very purpose, that he might know the things about you, and that he might comfort your hearts,

mkjv@Colossians:4:9 @ along with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you all things here.

mkjv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (regarding whom you received commandments; if he comes to you, receive him),

mkjv@Colossians:4:11 @ and [greetings from] Jesus, who is called Justus, those being of the circumcision. These alone [are my] fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who became a comfort to me.

mkjv@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras greets you, he being of you, a servant of Christ, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

mkjv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him record that he has a great zeal for you and for those [who are] in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

mkjv@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

mkjv@Colossians:4:15 @ Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.

mkjv@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this letter is read before you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the [letter] of Laodicea.

mkjv@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in [the] Lord, that you fulfill it.

mkjv@Colossians:4:18 @ The salutation of Paul, by my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the] Thessalonians, in God [the] Father and in [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God for you always, making mention of you in our prayers,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing, beloved brothers, your election of God.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, as you know what kind [of men] we were among you for your sake.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, welcoming the word in much affliction, with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you were examples to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For from you the Word of the Lord sounded out, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to speak anything.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves witness what kind of entrance we had to you, even how you turned from idols to God in order to serve the] living and true God,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for His Son from Heaven (whom He raised from [the] dead), Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For, my brothers, you yourselves know our coming in to you, that it was not in vain.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But also suffering before, being insulted in Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much agony.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our exhortation [to you was] not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted [with] the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor with pretense of covetousness; God [is] witness.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Nor did we seek glory from men, neither from you nor from others, being able to be [so] with heaviness, as apostles of Christ.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse warmly cherishes her children.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So affectionately longing for you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you have become beloved to us.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For, brothers, you remember our labor and toil. [For] laboring night and day in order not to put a burden on any one of you, we preached the gospel of God to you.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You and God [are] witnesses how holily and justly and blamelessly we were to you who believe,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ even as you know how we exhorted and comforted and testified to each one of you, as a father to his children,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ that you should walk worthy of God, who has called you to His kingdom and glory.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this cause we thank God without ceasing, that when you received [the] Word of hearing, of God, you welcomed [it as] the Word of God, not as a word of men, but [as] it is, truly [the] Word of God, which also effectually works in you who believe.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also have suffered these things by [your] own countrymen, even as they also by the Jews;

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, also driving us out and they do not please God and [being] contrary to all men,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always; but the wrath has come upon them to [the] uttermost.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But, my brothers, when we were taken away from you for an hour's time (in presence, not in heart), more abundantly we were eager with much desire to see your face.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Therefore we desired to come to you, truly I, Paul, both once and twice; but Satan hindered us.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what [is] our hope or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] you not even [to be] in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?

mkjv@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could no longer endure, we were pleased to be left at Athens alone.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ And we sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one should be drawn aside by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to them.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For truly, when we were with you, we told you before that we were going to suffer affliction, as it also happened, even you know.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I could no longer endure, I also sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you and our labor may have been in vain.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now when Timothy came from you to us and brought us good news [of] your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us (as we also you),

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ then, my brothers, we were comforted over you, through your faith, even in all our affliction and needs;

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we live, if you stand fast in [the] Lord.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy [with] which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ night and day praying exceedingly for [me] to see your face and to perfect the things lacking in your faith?

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ And may God Himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we also toward you,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ For the rest, then, my brothers, we beseech you and exhort [you] in [the] Lord Jesus, that, as you have received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more [and more].

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For we know what commands we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, for you to abstain from fornication,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ each one of you to know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ (not in the passion of lust, even as the nations who do not know God),

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ not to go beyond and defraud his brother in this matter (because the Lord [is the] avenger concerning all these, as we also have forewarned you and testified).

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore he who despises does not despise man, but God, who also has given us His Holy Spirit.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But regarding brotherly love, you do not need that I write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we beseech you, brothers, that you abound more [and more],

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and that you try earnestly to be quiet and to do [your] own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so that you may walk becomingly toward those outside, and that you may lack nothing.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, that you be not grieved, even as others who have no hope.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him all those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For we say this to you by the Word of [the] Lord, that we who are alive [and] remain until the coming of the Lord shall not go before those who are asleep.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the] clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know accurately that the day of [the] Lord comes like a thief in the night.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ For when they shall say, Peace and safety! Then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail upon a woman with child. And they shall not escape.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the Day should overtake you like a thief.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day. We are not of the night, or of darkness.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Therefore let us not sleep as the rest [do], but let us watch and be calm.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those sleeping sleep in the night, and those being drunken are drunken in the night.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on [the] breastplate of faith and love and [the] hope of salvation [for] a helmet.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, so that whether we watch or sleep we should live together with Him.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore comfort one another, and edify one another, even as you also do.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And, brothers, we beseech you to know those who labor among you, and are over you in [the] Lord, and who admonish you,

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

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See [that] none gives evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both towards one another and towards all.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Rejoice evermore.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Pray without ceasing.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In everything give thanks, for this [is the] will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not despise prophesying.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Prove all things, hold fast to the good.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Abstain from every appearance of evil.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ Faithful [is] He who called you, who also will do [it].

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brothers, pray for us.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.

mkjv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to thank God always for you, my brothers, as it is right, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so much so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ For [this is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God for which you also suffer,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since [it is] a righteous thing with God to repay tribulation to those who trouble you,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to give rest with us to you who are troubled, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He shall come to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that Day.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of the calling and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ that you should not be soon shaken [in] mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as [if] the Day of Christ is at hand.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For [that Day shall not come] unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you?

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what holds back, for him to be revealed in his own time.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he [is] now holding back until it comes out of the] midst.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brothers beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ to which He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us and has given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, my brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course and be glorified, even as [it] also is] with you.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ And pray that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all [do] not have] the faith.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and guard [you] from the evil.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in [the] Lord regarding you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us. For we did not behave ourselves disorderly among you,

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ neither did we eat any man's bread freely, but we worked with labor and travail night and day, so that we might not be heavy on any of you

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ (not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, to imitate us).

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this, that if anyone would not work, neither should he eat.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some who walk disorderly among you, not working at all, but being busybodies.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now we command and exhort those who are such, by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brothers, do not be weary in well doing.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, mark that one and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not count [him] as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ And may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ The greeting of Paul by my own hand which is [the] sign in every letter, so I write.

mkjv@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the command of God our Savior, and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, [my] own son in [the] faith. Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:3 @ Even as I begged you to remain at Ephesus, when I was going to Macedonia, that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies (which provide doubts rather than the] nurture of God in faith).

mkjv@1Timothy:1:5 @ But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:6 @ from which some, having swerved, have turned aside to foolish talking,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:7 @ desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say nor that which they affirm.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:8 @ But we know that the law [is] good if a man uses it lawfully,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:9 @ knowing this, that the law [is] not made for a righteous one, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:10 @ for fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:11 @ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me, because He counted me faithful, putting [me] into the ministry--

mkjv@1Timothy:1:13 @ the [one] who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent. But I obtained mercy, because being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:14 @ [And] the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful [is] the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:16 @ But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, as a pattern to those being about to believe on Him to life everlasting.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, [the] only wise God, [be] honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, [my] son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before [about] you, in order that you might war a good warfare by them,

mkjv@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding faith and a good conscience, which some have put away and made shipwreck as to faith.

mkjv@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may learn not to blaspheme.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, then, I exhort [that] supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men,

mkjv@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:3 @ For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

mkjv@1Timothy:2:4 @ who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:5 @ For God [is] one, and [there is] one Mediator of God and of man, [the] Man Christ Jesus,

mkjv@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:7 @ To this I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of [the] nations, in faith and truth.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:8 @ Therefore, I desire that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:9 @ In the same way also, I desire that women adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and sensibleness, not [adorned] with braiding, or gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,

mkjv@1Timothy:2:10 @ but with good works, which becomes women professing godliness.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:11 @ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:12 @ But I do not allow a woman to teach, or to exercise authority [over] a man, but to be in silence.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:14 @ And Adam was not deceived, but [the] woman being deceived was in the transgression.

mkjv@1Timothy:2:15 @ But she will be kept safe through childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with sensibleness.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:1 @ Faithful [is] the word: If anyone reaches out to overseership, he desires a good work.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:2 @ Then it behooves the overseer to be without reproach, husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, well-ordered, hospitable, apt at teaching,

mkjv@1Timothy:3:3 @ not a drunkard, not contentious, not greedy of ill gain, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous,

mkjv@1Timothy:3:4 @ ruling his own house well, having children in subjection with all honor.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:5 @ (For if a man does not know to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

mkjv@1Timothy:3:6 @ not a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into the condemnation of the Devil.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:7 @ But he must also have a good report from those on the outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Likewise the deacons [are to be] reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of ill gain,

mkjv@1Timothy:3:9 @ having the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:10 @ And let these also first be tested, then let them minister without reproach.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:11 @ Even so [their] wives are to [be] reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:12 @ Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and households well.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:13 @ For they having served well gain a good grade for themselves, and much boldness in the faith, those in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:14 @ I write these things to you, hoping to come to you shortly.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:15 @ But if I should delay, that you may know how you ought to behave in the house of God, which is [the] church of the living God, [the] pillar and foundation of the truth.

mkjv@1Timothy:3:16 @ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among nations, believed on in [the] world, and received up into glory.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:1 @ But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

mkjv@1Timothy:4:2 @ speaking lies in hypocrisy, being seared in [their] own conscience,

mkjv@1Timothy:4:3 @ forbidding to marry, [saying] to abstain from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For every creation of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:5 @ For it is sanctified through the Word of God and prayer.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:6 @ Having suggested these things to the brothers, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and by the good doctrine which you have followed.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:7 @ But refuse profane and old-womanish tales, and exercise yourself to godliness.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is to come.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:9 @ Faithful [is] the Word, and worthy of all acceptance.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the preserver of all men, especially of those who believe.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:11 @ Command and teach these things.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one despise your youth, but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:13 @ Until I come, attend to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the body of elders.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:15 @ Meditate on these things; be in these things in order that your improvement may appear to all.

mkjv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Hold on to yourself and to the doctrine; continue in them, for doing this you shall both save yourself and those who hear you.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not sharply rebuke an elder, but exhort as a father, [and] the younger ones as brothers,

mkjv@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, the younger as sisters in all purity.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:3 @ Honor widows who are widows indeed.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to be godly to their own house, and give back to [their] forebears what is due them; for that is good and pleasing before God.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:5 @ But she being really a widow, and having been left alone, has set her] hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives in self-pleasure has died while living.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:7 @ And command these things so that they may be blameless.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if anyone does not provide for [his] own, and especially [his] family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already turned aside after Satan.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be charged, so that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.

mkjv@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and doctrine.

mkjv@1Timothy:6:9 @ But they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men into destruction and perdition.

mkjv@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep the commandment without spot and without blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:5 @ taking recollection of the unfeigned faith that is in you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice. And I am persuaded that it is in you also.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:6 @ Therefore I remind you to inflame anew the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor [of] me His prisoner. But be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to [the] power of God,

mkjv@2Timothy:1:9 @ who has saved us and called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:12 @ For this cause I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard My deposit unto that Day.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:15 @ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed [of] my chain.

mkjv@2Timothy:1:17 @ But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found [me].

mkjv@2Timothy:1:18 @ May the Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from [the] Lord in that Day. And in what things he ministered [to me] at Ephesus, you know very well.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:1 @ Therefore, my son, be strong in the grace [that is] in Christ Jesus.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:2 @ And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one who wars tangles with the affairs of [this] life, that he may please him who chose [him] to be a soldier.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:5 @ And also if anyone competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:20 @ But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:21 @ Therefore if anyone purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:22 @ But flee youthful lusts, and follow righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

mkjv@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they give birth to strifes.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:1 @ Know this also, that in [the] last days grievous times will be at hand.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

mkjv@2Timothy:3:8 @ But as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also resist the truth, men of corrupt mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they shall proceed no further. For their foolishness shall be plain to all, as theirs also became.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:10 @ But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,

mkjv@2Timothy:3:11 @ persecutions, afflictions, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra. What persecutions I endured! But the Lord delivered me out of all.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:12 @ Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

mkjv@2Timothy:3:13 @ But evil men and seducers will go forward to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:3 @ For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:4 @ And they will turn away [their] ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you watch in all things, endure afflictions, do [the] work of an evangelist, fully carry out your ministry.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out, and the time of my release is here.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:7 @ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that Day; and not to me only, but also to all those who love His appearing.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:9 @ Make haste to come to me quickly.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and [he] has departed to Thessalonica. Crescens [went] to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:11 @ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark [and] bring [him] with you, for he is profitable to me for [the] ministry.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:12 @ And I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith showed many evil things to me. The Lord will give back to him according to his works.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:15 @ You also should beware of [him], for he has greatly withstood our words.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first answer no one was beside me, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, that through me the preaching might be fulfilled, and [that] all the nations might hear. And I was delivered out of [the] mouth of the] lion.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:18 @ And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve [me] to His heavenly kingdom, to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@2Timothy:4:19 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

mkjv@Hebrews:1:2 @ has in these last days spoken to us by His] Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds,

mkjv@Hebrews:1:3 @ who being the shining splendor of [His] glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the word of His power, through Himself cleansing of our sins, [He] sat down on [the] right of the Majesty on high,

mkjv@Hebrews:1:4 @ being made so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did He say at any time, You are My Son, this day I have begotten You? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?

mkjv@Hebrews:1:6 @ And again, when He brings in the First-born into the world, He says, And let all [the] angels of God worship Him.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:7 @ And of the angels He says, Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son [He says], Your throne, O God, [is] forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter of Your kingdom.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, You, Lord, have laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of Your hands.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They shall perish, but You will remain. And [they] shall all become old as a garment,

mkjv@Hebrews:1:12 @ and as a covering You shall fold them up, and [they] shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail.

mkjv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?

mkjv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation?

mkjv@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and if every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,

mkjv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape [if] we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by those who heard [Him];

mkjv@Hebrews:2:4 @ God [also] bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with different kinds of miracles and gifts [of the] Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

mkjv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For He has not put in subjection to the angels the world to come, of which we speak.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:6 @ But one testified in a certain place, saying, What is man, that You are mindful of him; or the son of man, that You visit him?

mkjv@Hebrews:2:7 @ You have made him a little lower than [the] angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:8 @ You subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to Him, He did not leave anything not subjected to Him. But now we do not see all things having been subjected to him.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who [was] made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that He by [the] grace of God should taste death for every [son].

mkjv@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it became Him, for whom [are] all things and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to perfect the Captain of their salvation through sufferings.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and they who are sanctified [are] all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

mkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:13 @ And again, I will put My trust in Him. And again, Behold Me and the children whom God has given Me.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise partook of the same; that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death (that is, the Devil),

mkjv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:16 @ For truly He did not take [the nature of] angels, but He took hold of [the] seed of Abraham.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like [His] brothers, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of [His] people.

mkjv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to rescue those who are being tempted.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brothers, called [to be] partakers of the heavenly [calling], consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

mkjv@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also [was faithful] in all his house.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:3 @ For He was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who has built the house has more honor than the house.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things [is] God.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses truly [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken afterward.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:6 @ But Christ [was faithful] as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you will hear His voice,

mkjv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

mkjv@Hebrews:3:9 @ when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They always err in [their] heart, and they have not known My ways.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from [the] living God.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through [the] deceitfulness of sin.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to [the] end,

mkjv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said, Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:16 @ For some, when they had heard, did provoke; however, not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

mkjv@Hebrews:3:17 @ But with whom was He grieved forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

mkjv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear [that they should] not enter into His rest, but to those who did not believe?

mkjv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, a promise being left to enter into His rest, let us fear lest any of you should seem to come short of it.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the word [preached] did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard [it].

mkjv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed do enter into the rest, as He said, I have sworn in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest; although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] in this way: And God rested the seventh day from all His works.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:5 @ And in this place again, They shall not enter into My rest.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since then it remains that some must enter into it, and since they to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief,

mkjv@Hebrews:4:7 @ He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, Today, (after so long a time). Even as it is said, Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then there remains a rest to the people of God.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God [did] from His.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Therefore let us labor to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of unbelief.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God [is] living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to [the] dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:13 @ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things [are] naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as [we are, yet] without sin.

mkjv@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things [pertaining] to God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

mkjv@Hebrews:5:2 @ who can have compassion on the ignorant and on those who are out of the way. For he himself also is compassed with weakness.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:3 @ And because of this he should, as for the people, so also for himself, offer for sins.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron [was].

mkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, You are My Son, today I have begotten You.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:6 @ As He says also in another [place], You [are] a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:7 @ [For Jesus], in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cryings and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared,

mkjv@Hebrews:5:8 @ though being a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:9 @ And being perfected, He became [the] Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him,

mkjv@Hebrews:5:10 @ being called by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek;

mkjv@Hebrews:5:11 @ of whom we [have] much to say, and hard to be explained since you are dull of hearing.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For indeed because of the time, you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again what [are] the first principles of the oracles of God. And you have become [in] need of milk, and not of solid food.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:13 @ For everyone partaking of milk [is] unskillful [in the] word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

mkjv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, [even] those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore, having left the discourse of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to full growth, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:2 @ of [the] baptisms, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do, if God permits.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of [the] Holy Spirit,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted [the] good Word of God and [the] powers of the world to come,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:6 @ and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put [Him] to an open shame.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:7 @ (For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth plants fit for those by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:8 @ But [that which] bears thorns and briers [is] rejected and [is] a curse, whose end [is] to be burned.)

mkjv@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you and things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this way.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness to the full assurance of hope to [the] end,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you be not slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, [He] swore by Himself,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, Surely in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men truly swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation [is] to them an end of all strife.

mkjv@Hebrews:6:17 @ In this way desiring to declare more fully to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, God interposed by an oath,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible [for] God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before [us],

mkjv@Hebrews:6:19 @ which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil,

mkjv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where the Forerunner has entered for us, even] Jesus, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:2 @ To him Abraham also gave a tenth of all. [He was] first by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem, which is king of peace,

mkjv@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, [he] remains a priest continually.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man [was], to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:5 @ And truly they [who are] of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priest, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here men who die receive tithes; but there he [receives them], of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:9 @ And if I may say so, Levi, also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Therefore if perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the Law), what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

mkjv@Hebrews:7:12 @ For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made in the law also.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man gave attendance at the altar.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is still far more evident, since there arises another priest after the likeness of Melchizedek,

mkjv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who is made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For He testifies, You [are] a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:18 @ For truly there] is a putting away of the commandment which went before, because of the weakness and unprofitableness of it.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:19 @ For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did], by which we draw near to God.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as [He was] not made priest] without an oath

mkjv@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for those priests were made without an oath, but this one was made with an oath by Him who said to Him, The Lord swore and will not repent, You [are] a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,)

mkjv@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better covenant.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue because of death;

mkjv@Hebrews:7:24 @ but He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by Him, [since He] ever lives to make intercession for them.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens,

mkjv@Hebrews:7:27 @ who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice daily, first for his own [sins] and then for the people's sins. For He did this once for all, when He offered up Himself.

mkjv@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the swearing of an oath, after the Law, [has consecrated] the Son forever, having been perfected.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the sum of the things which we have spoken [is this]: We have such a High Priest, who has sat down on [the] right of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven,

mkjv@Hebrews:8:2 @ a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore [it is] necessary that this One have something to offer also.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:4 @ For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the Law,

mkjv@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was warned of God when he was about to make the tabernacle. For, He says See [that] you make all things according to the pattern shown to you in the mountain.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was built upon better promises.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first [covenant] had been without fault, [then] no place would have been sought for the] second.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:8 @ For finding fault with them, He said to them, Behold, days are coming, says [the] Lord, and I will make an end on the house of Israel and on the house of Judah; a new covenant shall be,

mkjv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day I took hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:10 @ For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.

mkjv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that He says, A new [covenant], He has made the first one old. Now that which decays and becomes old [is] ready to vanish away.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:1 @ Then truly the first [tabernacle] had also ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For the first tabernacle was prepared, in which [was] both the lampstand, and the table, and the setting out of the loaves, which is called Holies.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:3 @ And after the second veil [was] a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

mkjv@Hebrews:9:4 @ having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:5 @ And over it were the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (about which we cannot now speak piece by piece.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:6 @ Now when these things were ordained in this way, the priests always went into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God].

mkjv@Hebrews:9:7 @ But once [in] the year into the second the high priest [goes] alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people)

mkjv@Hebrews:9:8 @ the Holy Spirit signifying [by] this [that] the way into the Holiest of all was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:9 @ For it [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him who did the service perfect as regards the conscience,

mkjv@Hebrews:9:10 @ [which stood] only in meats and drinks, and different kinds of washings and fleshly ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

mkjv@Hebrews:9:12 @ nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by [His] own blood [He] entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].

mkjv@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh,

mkjv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through [the] eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve [the] living God?

mkjv@Hebrews:9:15 @ And for this cause He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a covenant [is], the death of him covenanting must be offered.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a covenant [is] affirmed over [those] dead, since it never has force when The one covenanting is living.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:18 @ From which we see that neither was the first [covenant] dedicated without blood.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For [when] Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the Law, [he] took the blood of calves and of goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

mkjv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:21 @ And likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:22 @ And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Therefore [it was] necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified [with] these, but the heavenly things themselves were purified] with better sacrifices than these.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has not entered into the [Holy of] Holies made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, even as the high priest enters into the [Holy of] Holies every year with the blood of others

mkjv@Hebrews:9:26 @ (for then He must have suffered often since [the] foundation of the world), but now once in the end of the world He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

mkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

mkjv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once offered to bear [the] sins of many. And to those who look for Him He shall appear the second [time] without sin to salvation.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the Law which has a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, [appearing] year by year with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually, they are never able to perfect those drawing near.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, when they had been once for all purged, would have had no more conscience of sin.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again of sins every year.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:4 @ For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore when He comes into the world, He says, Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You have prepared a body for Me.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:6 @ In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin You have had no pleasure.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, Lo, I come ( in the] volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Your will, O God.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:8 @ Above, when He said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin You did not desire, neither did You have pleasure in them (which are offered according to the Law),

mkjv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then He said, Lo, I come to do Your will, O God. He takes away the first so that He may establish the second.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:10 @ By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:11 @ And indeed every priest stands daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down [on the] right of God,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:13 @ from then on expecting until His enemies are made His footstool.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:15 @ The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us; for after He had said before,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:16 @ This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:17 @ also [He adds, their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:18 @ Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for sin.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brothers, having boldness to enter into the [Holy of] Holies by the blood of Jesus,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;

mkjv@Hebrews:10:21 @ and [having] a High Priest over the house of God,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and [our] bodies having been washed with pure water.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering (for He is faithful who promised),

mkjv@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is], but exhorting [one another], and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:28 @ He who despised Moses' law died without mercy on [the word of] two or three witnesses.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy of punishment, the [one] who has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

mkjv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know Him who has said, Vengeance [belongs] to Me, I will repay, says [the] Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:31 @ [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But call to memory the former days, in which (after you were illuminated) you endured a great fight of afflictions,

mkjv@Hebrews:10:33 @ indeed being exposed both by reproaches and afflictions, and while you became companions of those who lived so.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you both sympathized with my bonds and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in Heaven a better and an enduring substance.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great [recompense of] reward.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of patience, so that after you have done the will of God you might receive the promise.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:37 @ For yet a little while, and He who shall come will come and will not delay.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:38 @ Now, the Just shall live by faith. But if he draws back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.

mkjv@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those] withdrawing to destruction, but of those who believe to [the] preserving of [the] soul.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is [the] substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the elders obtained a good report.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that] the ages were] framed by a word of God, so that the things being seen not to have come into being out of the things that appear.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness [that he] was righteous, God testifying of his gifts. And by it he, being dead, yet speaks.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was translated [so as] not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for he who comes to God must believe that He is and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, having been warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to [the] saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness [which is] according to faith.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he was afterward going to receive for an inheritance. And [he] went out, not knowing where he went.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise with him.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him who had promised [to be] faithful.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Because of this came into being [from] one, and that of one] having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. And they were persuaded of [them] and embraced [them] and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:14 @ For they who say such things declare plainly that they seek a fatherland.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:15 @ And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they stretch forth to a better [fatherland], that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered up his only-begotten [son],

mkjv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said that in Isaac your Seed shall be called,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:19 @ concluding that God [was] able to raise him up, even from [the] dead, from where he even received him, in a figure.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, [when he was] dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith, Joseph dying remembered concerning the Exodus of the sons of Israel and gave orders concerning his bones.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a beautiful child. And they were not afraid of the king's commandments.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:24 @ Having become great, Moses by faith refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:26 @ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:28 @ Through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest He who destroyed the first-born should touch them.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry [land], which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed seven days.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped [the] mouths of lions,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the strangers.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:36 @ And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings; yes, more, of bonds and imprisonments.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:38 @ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains and dens and caves of the earth.

mkjv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise,

mkjv@Hebrews:11:40 @ for God had provided some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured [the] cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:3 @ For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him;

mkjv@Hebrews:12:6 @ for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten?

mkjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

mkjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For truly they chastened [us] for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that [we] might be partakers of His holiness.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now chastening for the present does not seem to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the enfeebled knees.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:14 @ Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord;

mkjv@Hebrews:12:15 @ looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God, or lest any root of bitterness springing up disturb [you], and by it many are defiled,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:16 @ (lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he did not find any place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears).

mkjv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to the mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, nor to blackness and darkness and tempest,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words (which [voice] they who heard begged that a word should not be spoken to them any more,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:20 @ for they could not endure the thing commanded, And if so much as a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with a dart,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:21 @ and so fearful was the sight [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake).

mkjv@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and to [the] city of [the] living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the [general] assembly and church of the first-born who are written in Heaven, and to God [the] judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than [that of] Abel.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See [that] you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape, those who refused him that spoke on earth, much more we [shall not escape] if we turn away from Him who speaks from Heaven,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:26 @ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I will not only shake the earth, but also the heavens.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:27 @ And this [word], Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

mkjv@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear,

mkjv@Hebrews:12:29 @ for also, Our God [is] a consuming fire.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:1 @ Let brotherly love continue.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with [them], those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:4 @ Marriage [is] honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:5 @ [Let your] way of life [be] without the love of money, [and be] content with such things as you have, for He has said, Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!

mkjv@Hebrews:13:6 @ so that we may boldly say, The] Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember those leading you, who have spoken to you the Word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conduct:

mkjv@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried about with different and strange doctrines, for [it is] good for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who have walked [in them] were not helped.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar of which they have no right to eat, those who serve the tabernacle.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the [Holy of] Holies by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:12 @ Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:15 @ By Him, then, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, [the] fruit of [our] lips, confessing His name.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Yield to those leading you, and be submissive, for they watch for your souls, [as those who must] give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief; for that [is] unprofitable for you.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:19 @ But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, so that I may be more quickly restored to you.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace (who brought again our Lord Jesus from [the] dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through [the] blood of the everlasting covenant)

mkjv@Hebrews:13:21 @ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that [which] is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:22 @ And I beseech you, brothers, allow the word of exhortation. For I have written a letter to you in few words.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:23 @ Know that [our] brother Timothy has been set at liberty, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all those leading you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

mkjv@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace [be] with you all. Amen.

mkjv@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting:

mkjv@James:1:2 @ My brothers, count [it] all joy when you fall into different kinds of temptations,

mkjv@James:1:3 @ knowing that the trying of your faith works patience.

mkjv@James:1:4 @ But let patience have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.

mkjv@James:1:5 @ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, [who] gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

mkjv@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave of [the] sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

mkjv@James:1:7 @ For do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

mkjv@James:1:8 @ [he is] a double-minded man, not dependable in all his ways.

mkjv@James:1:9 @ But let [the] humble brother rejoice in his exaltation;

mkjv@James:1:10 @ and the rich one [rejoice] in his humiliation, because he shall pass away as the flower of the grass.

mkjv@James:1:11 @ For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will fade away in his ways.

mkjv@James:1:12 @ Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation, because having been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

mkjv@James:1:13 @ Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.

mkjv@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced [by them].

mkjv@James:1:15 @ Then when lust has conceived, [it] brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death.

mkjv@James:1:16 @ Do not err, my beloved brothers.

mkjv@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

mkjv@James:1:18 @ Of [His own] will He brought us forth with [the] Word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures.

mkjv@James:1:19 @ Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

mkjv@James:1:20 @ For the wrath of man does not work out [the] righteousness of God.

mkjv@James:1:21 @ Therefore putting aside all filthiness and overflowing of evil, receive in meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.

mkjv@James:1:22 @ But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

mkjv@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of [the] Word and not a doer, he is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror.

mkjv@James:1:24 @ For he studied himself and went his way, and immediately [he] forgot what he was like.

mkjv@James:1:25 @ But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues [in it], he is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of [the] work. This one shall be blessed in his doing.

mkjv@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks to be religious among you, [yet] does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this one's religion [is] vain.

mkjv@James:1:27 @ Pure religion and undefiled before God and [the] Father [is] this, to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

mkjv@James:2:1 @ My brothers, do not have the faith of our Lord Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respecter of faces.

mkjv@James:2:2 @ For if there comes a gold-fingered man in fancy clothing into your assembly, and if there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothing,

mkjv@James:2:3 @ and if you have respect to him who has the fancy clothing and say to him, You sit here in a good place, and say to the poor, You stand there, or sit here under my footstool;

mkjv@James:2:4 @ Did you not make a difference among yourselves and became judges [with] evil thoughts?

mkjv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him?

mkjv@James:2:6 @ But you dishonored the poor one. Do not rich men oppress you and draw you before the judgment seats?

mkjv@James:2:7 @ Do they not blaspheme that worthy Name by which you are called?

mkjv@James:2:8 @ If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.

mkjv@James:2:9 @ But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

mkjv@James:2:10 @ For whoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.

mkjv@James:2:11 @ For He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not murder. But if you do not commit adultery, yet if you murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

mkjv@James:2:12 @ So speak and do as those who shall be judged by [the] law of liberty.

mkjv@James:2:13 @ For he who has shown no mercy shall have judgment without mercy, and mercy exults over judgment.

mkjv@James:2:14 @ My brothers, what profit [is it] if a man says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him?

mkjv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

mkjv@James:2:16 @ and if one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them those things which are needful to the body, what good [is it]?

mkjv@James:2:17 @ Even so, if it does not have works, faith is dead, being by itself.

mkjv@James:2:18 @ But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.

mkjv@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.

mkjv@James:2:20 @ But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

mkjv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

mkjv@James:2:22 @ Do you see how faith worked with his works, and from the works faith was made complete?

mkjv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.

mkjv@James:2:24 @ You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

mkjv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she had received the messengers and had [sent] them out another way?

mkjv@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

mkjv@James:3:1 @ My brothers, do not be many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

mkjv@James:3:2 @ For [in] many [things] we all offend. If anyone does not offend in word, the same [is] a full-grown man, able also to bridle the whole body.

mkjv@James:3:3 @ Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.

mkjv@James:3:4 @ Behold also the ships being so great, and driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small rudder, where the impulse of him steering desires.

mkjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold how little a fire kindles how large a forest!

mkjv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body and inflaming the course of nature, and being inflamed by hell.

mkjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of sea-animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.

mkjv@James:3:8 @ But no one can tame the tongue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

mkjv@James:3:9 @ By this we bless God, even [the] Father. And by this we curse men, who have come into being according to the image of God.

mkjv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

mkjv@James:3:11 @ Does a fountain send forth at the same hole the sweet and the bitter?

mkjv@James:3:12 @ Can the fig tree, my brothers, bear olive berries; or a vine, figs? So no fountain [can] yield both salt water and fresh.

mkjv@James:3:13 @ Who [is] wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by [his] good conduct with meekness of wisdom.

mkjv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

mkjv@James:3:15 @ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.

mkjv@James:3:16 @ For where envying and strife [are], there [is] confusion and every foul deed.

mkjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first truly pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

mkjv@James:3:18 @ And [the] fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

mkjv@James:4:1 @ From where do wars and fightings among you [come]? [Is it] not from this, from your lusts which war in your members?

mkjv@James:4:2 @ You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not.

mkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend [it] upon your lusts.

mkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity [with] God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

mkjv@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us yearns to envy?

mkjv@James:4:6 @ But He gives more grace. Therefore He says, God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.

mkjv@James:4:7 @ Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

mkjv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, double-minded ones.

mkjv@James:4:9 @ Be afflicted, and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and [your] joy to heaviness.

mkjv@James:4:10 @ Be humbled before the Lord, and He will lift you up.

mkjv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against [his] brother, and who judges his brother, speaks against the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

mkjv@James:4:12 @ There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you who judges another?

mkjv@James:4:13 @ Come now, those saying, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and spend a year there, and we will trade and will make a profit,

mkjv@James:4:14 @ who do not know of the morrow. For what [is] your life? For it is a vapor, which appears for a little time, and then disappears.

mkjv@James:4:15 @ Instead of you saying, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.

mkjv@James:4:16 @ But now you boast in your presumptions. All such boasting is evil.

mkjv@James:4:17 @ Therefore to him who knows to do good, and does not do [it], to him it is sin.

mkjv@James:5:1 @ Come now, rich ones, weep and howl for your hardships coming on.

mkjv@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.

mkjv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have corroded, and their poison will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as fire. You heaped treasure in the last days.

mkjv@James:5:4 @ Behold, the hire of the laborers reaping your fields cry out, being kept back by you. And the cries of those who have reaped have entered into the ears of [the] Lord of hosts.

mkjv@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously on the earth, and lived wantonly. You have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

mkjv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned [and] murdered the just; he does not resist you.

mkjv@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and has long patience for it, until he receives [the] early and the latter rain.

mkjv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient, establish your hearts, for the coming of your Lord draws near.

mkjv@James:5:9 @ Do not grudge against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned. Behold, [the] Judge stands before the door.

mkjv@James:5:10 @ My brothers, take the prophets who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord, [for] an example of suffering ill, and of patience.

mkjv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we count blessed those who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity and of tender mercy.

mkjv@James:5:12 @ But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and [your] no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.

mkjv@James:5:13 @ Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

mkjv@James:5:14 @ Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

mkjv@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will cure the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

mkjv@James:5:16 @ Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. [The] effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.

mkjv@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man of like passion as we are. And he prayed earnestly [that it] might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for the time of three years and six months.

mkjv@James:5:18 @ And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to sprout.

mkjv@James:5:19 @ Brothers, if anyone among you err from the truth, and if anyone turns him back,

mkjv@James:5:20 @ know that he who turns back the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

mkjv@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to [the] elect sojourners of [the] Dispersion of Pontus, of Galatia, of Cappadocia, of Asia, and of Bithynia,

mkjv@1Peter:1:2 @ according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of [the] Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

mkjv@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from [the] dead,

mkjv@1Peter:1:4 @ to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in Heaven for you

mkjv@1Peter:1:5 @ by [the] power of God, having been kept through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;

mkjv@1Peter:1:6 @ in which you greatly rejoice, yet a little [while], if need be, grieving in manifold temptations;

mkjv@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the trial of your faith (being much more precious than that of gold that perishes, but being proven through fire) might be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

mkjv@1Peter:1:8 @ whom having not seen, you love; in whom not yet seeing, but believing in Him you exult with unspeakable joy, and having been glorified,

mkjv@1Peter:1:9 @ obtaining the end of your faith, the salvation of [your] souls.

mkjv@1Peter:1:10 @ About which salvation the prophets sought out and searched out, prophesying concerning the grace for you;

mkjv@1Peter:1:11 @ searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ made clear within them, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow.

mkjv@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that not to themselves, but to us, they ministered the things which are now reported to you by those who have preached the gospel to you in [the] Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

mkjv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore girding up the loins of your mind, being sober, perfectly hope for the grace being brought to you at [the] revelation of Jesus Christ,

mkjv@1Peter:1:14 @ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance,

mkjv@1Peter:1:15 @ but according to the Holy One who has called you, you also become holy in all conduct,

mkjv@1Peter:1:16 @ because it is written, Be holy, for I am holy.

mkjv@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call on [the] Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your [earthly] residence in fear,

mkjv@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from [your] fathers,

mkjv@1Peter:1:19 @ but with [the] precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

mkjv@1Peter:1:20 @ indeed having been foreknown before [the] foundation of [the] world, but revealed in [the] last times for you,

mkjv@1Peter:1:21 @ those believing in God through Him, He who raised Him up from [the] dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

mkjv@1Peter:1:22 @ Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

mkjv@1Peter:1:23 @ having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living word of God, and abiding forever.

mkjv@1Peter:1:24 @ For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out,

mkjv@1Peter:1:25 @ but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you.

mkjv@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore laying aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings, and all evil speakings,

mkjv@1Peter:2:2 @ desire the sincere milk of the word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;

mkjv@1Peter:2:3 @ if truly you have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

mkjv@1Peter:2:4 @ For having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God;

mkjv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also as living stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed.

mkjv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore to you who believe [is] the honor. But to those who are disobedient, [He is the] Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be [the] Head of the corner,

mkjv@1Peter:2:8 @ and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the word, to which they also were appointed.

mkjv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

mkjv@1Peter:2:10 @ [you] who then were not a people, but now the people of God, those not pitied [then], but now pitied.

mkjv@1Peter:2:11 @ Dearly beloved, I exhort [you] as [temporary] residents and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

mkjv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of [His] visitation, seeing [your] good works.

mkjv@1Peter:2:13 @ Then be in obedience to every ordinance of men, because of the Lord, whether to a king as supreme,

mkjv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by Him for vengeance [on] evildoers, but for praise [on] well-doers.

mkjv@1Peter:2:15 @ For such is the will of God, doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish men;

mkjv@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, and not having freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God.

mkjv@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

mkjv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear, not only to those good and forbearing, but also to the perverse ones.

mkjv@1Peter:2:19 @ For this [is] a grace, if for conscience [toward] God anyone endures grief, suffering wrongfully.

mkjv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory [is it] if you patiently endure [while] sinning and being buffeted? But if you suffer [while] doing good, and patiently endure, this [is] a grace from God.

mkjv@1Peter:2:21 @ For you were not called to this? For Christ also suffered on our behalf, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps,

mkjv@1Peter:2:22 @ He who did no sin, nor was guile found in His mouth,

mkjv@1Peter:2:23 @ who when He was reviled did not revile in return. When He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave [Himself] up to Him who judges righteously.

mkjv@1Peter:2:24 @ [He] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that dying to sins, we might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

mkjv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were as sheep going astray, but now you are turned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

mkjv@1Peter:3:1 @ Likewise, wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands, so that if any do not obey the word, they may also be won without the word by the conduct of the wives,

mkjv@1Peter:3:2 @ having witnessed your chaste behavior in [the] fear [of God].

mkjv@1Peter:3:3 @ Of whom let not be the adorning of garments, or outward braiding of hair and wearing of gold, or of putting on clothing,

mkjv@1Peter:3:4 @ but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, the meek and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the sight of God.

mkjv@1Peter:3:5 @ For so once indeed the holy women hoping in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;

mkjv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children you became, doing good and fearing no terror.

mkjv@1Peter:3:7 @ Likewise, husbands, live together according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife as to the weaker vessel, the female, as truly [being] co-heirs together of [the] grace of life, not cutting off your prayers.

mkjv@1Peter:3:8 @ And finally, all [be] of one mind, having compassion on one another, loving the brothers, tenderhearted, friendly.

mkjv@1Peter:3:9 @ Never give back evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, [giving] blessing, knowing that you are called to this so that you might inherit blessing.

mkjv@1Peter:3:10 @ For he that wants to love life and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.

mkjv@1Peter:3:11 @ Let him turn aside from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.

mkjv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of [the] Lord [are] on the righteous, and His ears [open] to their prayers. But [the] Lord's face [is] against [those] who do evil.

mkjv@1Peter:3:13 @ And who [is] the [one] who will harm you if you become imitators of the good?

mkjv@1Peter:3:14 @ But if you also suffer for righteousness' sake, [you are] blessed. And do not fear their fear, nor be troubled,

mkjv@1Peter:3:15 @ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to everyone who asks you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear;

mkjv@1Peter:3:16 @ having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Christ.

mkjv@1Peter:3:17 @ For [it is] better, if the will of God wills [it], to suffer [for] well-doing than [for] evil-doing.

mkjv@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;

mkjv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

mkjv@1Peter:3:20 @ to disobeying ones, when once the long-suffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared (in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water);

mkjv@1Peter:3:21 @ which figure now also saves us, baptism; not a putting away of [the] filth of [the] flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ;

mkjv@1Peter:3:22 @ who is at [the] right [hand] of God, having gone into Heaven, where [the] angels and authorities and powers are being subjected to Him.

mkjv@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, Christ having suffered for us in [the] flesh, also you arm yourselves [with] the same thought, that he suffering in [the] flesh has been made to rest from sin,

mkjv@1Peter:4:2 @ in order no longer to [live] in [the] lusts of men, but in [the] will of God the remaining time in [the] flesh.

mkjv@1Peter:4:3 @ For the time of life which is past is enough for us to have worked out the will of the nations, having gone on in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, parties, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

mkjv@1Peter:4:4 @ In these things they are surprised, [that] you [are] not running with [them] into the same excess of riot, blaspheming.

mkjv@1Peter:4:5 @ But they shall give account to Him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.

mkjv@1Peter:4:6 @ For to this [end] the gospel was preached also to [the] dead, that they might be judged according to men in [the] flesh, but live according to God in [the] Spirit.

mkjv@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be of sound mind, and be sensible to prayers.

mkjv@1Peter:4:8 @ And above all things have fervent love to yourselves, for love will cover a multitude of sins.

mkjv@1Peter:4:9 @ Be hospitable to one another, without grudging;

mkjv@1Peter:4:10 @ each one as he received a gift, ministering it to yourselves as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

mkjv@1Peter:4:11 @ If anyone speaks, [let it be] as [the] words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as of the ability which God gives, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory, and the might forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which is to try you, as [though] a strange thing happened to you,

mkjv@1Peter:4:13 @ but rejoice according as you are partakers of Christ's suffering, so that when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.

mkjv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reviled for [the] name of Christ, [you are] blessed, because the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you. Truly according to them, He is blasphemed, but according to you He is glorified.

mkjv@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or a meddler in the affairs of others.

mkjv@1Peter:4:16 @ But if [one suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God because of this.

mkjv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time [has come] for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if [it] first [begins] from us, what [will be] the end of those disobeying the gospel of God?

mkjv@1Peter:4:18 @ And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

mkjv@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.

mkjv@1Peter:5:1 @ I exhort the elders who are among you, I being also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed.

mkjv@1Peter:5:2 @ Feed the flock of God among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor for base gain, but readily;

mkjv@1Peter:5:3 @ nor as lording it over those allotted [to you by God], but becoming examples to the flock.

mkjv@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.

mkjv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise, younger ones, be subject to older ones, and all being subject to one another. Put on humility. For God resists proud ones, but He gives grace to the humble.

mkjv@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time,

mkjv@1Peter:5:7 @ casting all your anxiety onto Him, for He cares for you.

mkjv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sensible [and] vigilant, because your adversary [the] Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour;

mkjv@1Peter:5:9 @ whom firmly resist in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions in [the] world are being completed in your brotherhood.

mkjv@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, He calling us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, [He] will perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish [you].

mkjv@1Peter:5:11 @ To Him [be] the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.

mkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ I wrote to you through a few [words], by Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, exhorting and testifying this to be [the] true grace of God in which you stand.

mkjv@1Peter:5:13 @ The fellow-elected in Babylon greet you; also Mark my son.

mkjv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of holy love. Peace [be] to you, all those in Christ Jesus. Amen.

mkjv@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and our Savior Jesus Christ,

mkjv@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

mkjv@2Peter:1:3 @ according as His divine power has given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue,

mkjv@2Peter:1:4 @ through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of [the] divine nature, having escaped the corruption [that is] in [the] world through lust.

mkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge;

mkjv@2Peter:1:6 @ and with] knowledge self-control, and [with] self-control, patience, and [with] patience, godliness,

mkjv@2Peter:1:7 @ and [with] godliness, brotherly kindness, and [with] brotherly kindness, love.

mkjv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are in you and abound, they make you to be] neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Peter:1:9 @ For he] in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past.

mkjv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for [if you] do these things, you shall never fall.

mkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

mkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though [you] know [them] and are established in the present truth.

mkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ But I think [it] right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder,

mkjv@2Peter:1:14 @ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

mkjv@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will also be diligent to cause you to always have memory of these things after my departure.

mkjv@2Peter:1:16 @ For not having followed fables having been cunningly devised, but becoming eyewitnesses of the majesty of Jesus Christ, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord.

mkjv@2Peter:1:17 @ For He received honor and glory from God [the] Father, when was borne to Him a voice from the excellent glory, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

mkjv@2Peter:1:18 @ And we heard this voice being borne from Heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain.

mkjv@2Peter:1:19 @ We also have a more sure word of prophecy, to which you do well to take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Daystar arises in your hearts,

mkjv@2Peter:1:20 @ knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture came into being of [its] own private interpretation.

mkjv@2Peter:1:21 @ For prophecy was not borne at any time by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spoke being borne along by the Holy Spirit.

mkjv@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

mkjv@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their pernicious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be evil spoken of.

mkjv@2Peter:2:3 @ And through covetousness they will use you for gain with well-turned words; for whom judgment from of old does not linger, and their destruction does not sleep.

mkjv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare sinning angels, but thrust [them] down into Tartarus, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, being reserved to judgment.

mkjv@2Peter:2:5 @ And He did not spare [the] old world, but saved Noah [the] eighth one, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.

mkjv@2Peter:2:6 @ And turning the cities [of] Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, He condemned [them] with an overthrow, setting an example to men] intending to live ungodly.

mkjv@2Peter:2:7 @ And He delivered righteous Lot, oppressed with the lustful behavior of the lawless.

mkjv@2Peter:2:8 @ For that righteous one living among them, in seeing and hearing, [his] righteous soul [was] tormented from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds.

mkjv@2Peter:2:9 @ [The] Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust for a day of judgment, to be punished,

mkjv@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who walk after the flesh in [the] lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. They are darers, self-pleasing; not trembling [at] glories, speaking evil.

mkjv@2Peter:2:11 @ Where angels, [who are] greater in power and might, do not bring a reproaching accusation against them before [the] Lord.

mkjv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, as unreasoning natural brute animals having been born for capture and corruption, speak evil of the things that they do not understand. And they will utterly perish in their own corruption,

mkjv@2Peter:2:13 @ being about to receive [the] wages of unrighteousness, deeming indulgence [as] pleasure in [the] daytime, and reveling [in] spots and blemishes, feasting along with you in their deceits,

mkjv@2Peter:2:14 @ having eyes full of adultery and never ceasing from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised [with] covetousness. [They are] cursed children

mkjv@2Peter:2:15 @ who have forsaken the right way and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Beor, who loved [the] wages of unrighteousness,

mkjv@2Peter:2:16 @ but had reproof of [his] lawbreaking, a dumb ass speaking in a man's voice, held back the madness of the prophet.

mkjv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are wells without water, clouds driven with a tempest, for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

mkjv@2Peter:2:18 @ For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they lure through [the] lusts of the flesh, by unbridled lust, the ones who were escaping from those who live in error;

mkjv@2Peter:2:19 @ promising them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom anyone has been overcome, even to this one he has been enslaved.

mkjv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if [they] have escaped the pollutions of the world through the full knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and are again entangled, they have been overcome by these, [their] last things are worse [than] the first.

mkjv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than fully knowing [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

mkjv@2Peter:2:22 @ But [the] word of the true proverb has happened to them: [The] dog turning to [his] own vomit; and, [The] washed sow to wallowing in the mire.

mkjv@2Peter:3:1 @ Beloved, I now write this second letter to you, in which I stir up your pure mind by reminder

mkjv@2Peter:3:2 @ to remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Savior by us, the apostles.

mkjv@2Peter:3:3 @ First, knowing this, that there will come in [the] last days scoffers walking according to their own lusts

mkjv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since [the] fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of creation.

mkjv@2Peter:3:5 @ For this is hidden from them [by their] willing it, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of the water, and through water, being held together by the word of God,

mkjv@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world that then was, being flooded by water, perished.

mkjv@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth being kept in store by the same word, are being kept for fire until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

mkjv@2Peter:3:8 @ But, beloved, let not this one thing be hidden [from you], that one day [is] with [the] Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

mkjv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any [of us] should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

mkjv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in [the] night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements will melt with fervent heat. And the earth and the works in it will be burned up.

mkjv@2Peter:3:11 @ Then, all these things being [about to be] dissolved, what sort ought you to be in holy behavior and godliness,

mkjv@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and rushing the coming of the Day of God, on account of which [the] heavens, being on fire, will melt away, and [the] elements will melt, burning with heat?

mkjv@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to His promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

mkjv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent, spotless, and without blemish, to be found by Him in peace.

mkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ And think of the long-suffering of our Lord [as] salvation (as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him

mkjv@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also [they do] the rest of the Scriptures, to [their] own destruction).

mkjv@2Peter:3:17 @ Therefore, beloved, knowing beforehand, beware lest being led away with the error of the lawless, you fall from [your] own steadfastness.

mkjv@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in grace and [in] knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory, both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen.

mkjv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life,

mkjv@1John:1:2 @ (for the Life was revealed, and we have seen [it] and bear witness, and show to you the everlasting Life, who was with the Father and was revealed to us),

mkjv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

mkjv@1John:1:4 @ And we write these things to you so that your joy may be full.

mkjv@1John:1:5 @ And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

mkjv@1John:1:6 @ If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

mkjv@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

mkjv@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

mkjv@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

mkjv@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

mkjv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I write these things to you so] that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous.

mkjv@1John:2:2 @ And He is [the] propitiation concerning our sins, and not concerning ours only, but also concerning [the sins of] all the world.

mkjv@1John:2:3 @ And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

mkjv@1John:2:4 @ He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

mkjv@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.

mkjv@1John:2:6 @ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.

mkjv@1John:2:7 @ Brothers, I do not write a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from [the] beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from [the] beginning.

mkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true Light now shines.

mkjv@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness until now.

mkjv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no offense in him.

mkjv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes.

mkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

mkjv@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him [who is] from [the] beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.

mkjv@1John:2:14 @ I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him [who is] from [the] beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

mkjv@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

mkjv@1John:2:16 @ because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

mkjv@1John:2:17 @ And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever.

mkjv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last time. And just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have risen up, from which we know that it is the last hour.

mkjv@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have continued with us. But [they went out] so that it might be revealed that they were not all of us.

mkjv@1John:2:20 @ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

mkjv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

mkjv@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who denies the Father and the Son is antichrist.

mkjv@1John:2:23 @ Everyone who denies the Son neither has the Father. The [one] confessing the Son also has the Father.

mkjv@1John:2:24 @ Therefore what you heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what you heard from [the] beginning remains in you, you will abide in both the Son and in the Father.

mkjv@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that He has promised us: everlasting life.

mkjv@1John:2:26 @ These [things] I have written to you concerning those leading you astray.

mkjv@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.

mkjv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is revealed, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him in His coming.

mkjv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness has been born of Him.

mkjv@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

mkjv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

mkjv@1John:3:3 @ And everyone who has this hope on him purifies himself, even as that [One] is pure.

mkjv@1John:3:4 @ Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.

mkjv@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He was revealed that He might take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.

mkjv@1John:3:6 @ Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

mkjv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as that [One] is righteous.

mkjv@1John:3:8 @ He who practices sin is of the Devil, for the Devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil.

mkjv@1John:3:9 @ Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

mkjv@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God, also he who does not love his brother.

mkjv@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that you have heard from [the] beginning, that we should love one another;

mkjv@1John:3:12 @ not as Cain [who] was of the evil one, and killed his brother. And for what did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's things were righteous.

mkjv@1John:3:13 @ Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.

mkjv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death.

mkjv@1John:3:15 @ Everyone hating his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has everlasting life abiding in him.

mkjv@1John:3:16 @ By this we have known the love [of God], because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers.

mkjv@1John:3:17 @ But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

mkjv@1John:3:18 @ My children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

mkjv@1John:3:19 @ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him,

mkjv@1John:3:20 @ that if our heart accuses us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

mkjv@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our heart does not accuse us, we have confidence toward God.

mkjv@1John:3:22 @ And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

mkjv@1John:3:23 @ And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

mkjv@1John:3:24 @ And he who keeps His commandment dwells in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.

mkjv@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

mkjv@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in [the] flesh is of God;

mkjv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in [the] flesh is not of God. And this is the antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the world.

mkjv@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

mkjv@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

mkjv@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. He who knows God hears us. The one who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

mkjv@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

mkjv@1John:4:8 @ The one who does not love has not known God. For God is love.

mkjv@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.

mkjv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation concerning our sins.

mkjv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

mkjv@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.

mkjv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

mkjv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Savior of the world.

mkjv@1John:4:15 @ Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him and he in God.

mkjv@1John:4:16 @ And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

mkjv@1John:4:17 @ In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world.

mkjv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.

mkjv@1John:4:19 @ We love Him because He first loved us.

mkjv@1John:4:20 @ If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if he does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

mkjv@1John:4:21 @ And we have this commandment from Him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

mkjv@1John:5:1 @ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. And everyone who loves Him who begets also loves him who has been born of Him.

mkjv@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.

mkjv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.

mkjv@1John:5:4 @ For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

mkjv@1John:5:5 @ Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

mkjv@1John:5:6 @ This is He who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by the water and blood. And the Spirit is He who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

mkjv@1John:5:7 @ For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.

mkjv@1John:5:8 @ And there are three that bear witness on the earth:] the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three are into the one.

mkjv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which He has testified about His Son.

mkjv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself. He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he does not believe the record that God gave of His Son.

mkjv@1John:5:11 @ And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son.

mkjv@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

mkjv@1John:5:13 @ I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.

mkjv@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

mkjv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

mkjv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it.

mkjv@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death.

mkjv@1John:5:18 @ We know that everyone who has been born of God does not continue to sin, but the one born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

mkjv@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and all the world lies in evil.

mkjv@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come, and [He] has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the everlasting life.

mkjv@1John:5:21 @ Little children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

mkjv@2John:1:1 @ The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,

mkjv@2John:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth dwelling in us, and [which] shall be with us forever.

mkjv@2John:1:3 @ Grace will be with you, mercy [and] peace from God [the] Father and from [the] Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

mkjv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly that I found your children walking in truth, as we have received command from the Father.

mkjv@2John:1:5 @ And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from [the] beginning, that we love one another.

mkjv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

mkjv@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in [the] flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-christ.

mkjv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, so that we may not lose those things which we worked out, but that we may receive a full reward.

mkjv@2John:1:9 @ Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.

mkjv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into [your] house, nor speak a greeting to him.

mkjv@2John:1:11 @ For he who speaks a greeting to him is partaker of his evil deeds.

mkjv@2John:1:12 @ Having many things to write to you, I do not want [to say] with paper and ink. But I trust to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be full.

mkjv@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

mkjv@3John:1:1 @ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth.

mkjv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, in regard to all things I pray [that] you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

mkjv@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when [the] brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.

mkjv@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than these things, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

mkjv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you work for the brothers and for strangers,

mkjv@3John:1:6 @ who in love bore witness of you before [the] church, whom you will do well to send forward worthily of God;

mkjv@3John:1:7 @ because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the nations.

mkjv@3John:1:8 @ Therefore we ought to entertain such, so that we might be co-workers in the truth.

mkjv@3John:1:9 @ I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, did not receive us.

mkjv@3John:1:10 @ Therefore if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, ranting against us with evil words. And not content [with] these, neither does he himself receive the brothers. And he forbids those who would, and casts [them] out of the church.

mkjv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate the bad, but the good. He who does good is from God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

mkjv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has good report by all, and by the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our witness is true.

mkjv@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write, but I will not write to you with pen and ink,

mkjv@3John:1:14 @ but I trust I shall shortly see you, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

mkjv@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the [ones] called in God [the] Father, having been set apart, and having been kept by Jesus Christ:

mkjv@Jude:1:2 @ Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

mkjv@Jude:1:3 @ Having made all haste to write to you about the common salvation, beloved, I had need to write to you to exhort [you] to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

mkjv@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.

mkjv@Jude:1:5 @ But I intend to remind you, you once knowing these things, that the Lord having delivered a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed the ones not believing.

mkjv@Jude:1:6 @ And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;

mkjv@Jude:1:7 @ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire.

mkjv@Jude:1:8 @ Likewise, indeed, also these dreaming ones even defile flesh, and despise rulership, and speak evil of glories.

mkjv@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he argued about the body of Moses, he dared not bring a judgment of blasphemy, but said, Let the Lord rebuke you!

mkjv@Jude:1:10 @ But what things they do not know, they speak evil of. And what things they understand naturally, like the animals without reason, they are corrupted by these.

mkjv@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain, and gave themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

mkjv@Jude:1:12 @ These are sunken rocks in your love feasts, feasting together with you; feeding themselves without fear; waterless clouds being carried about by winds; fruitless autumn trees, having died twice, having been plucked up by the roots;

mkjv@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea foaming up their shames; wandering stars for whom blackness of darkness has been kept forever.

mkjv@Jude:1:14 @ And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His saints,

mkjv@Jude:1:15 @ to do judgment against all, and to rebuke all the ungodly of them concerning all their ungodly works which they ungodly did, and concerning all the hard things ungodly sinners spoke against Him.

mkjv@Jude:1:16 @ These are murmurers, complainers, leading lives according to their lusts. And their mouth speaks proud things, admiring faces for the sake of gain.

mkjv@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

mkjv@Jude:1:18 @ because they told you that at [the] last time there will be mockers according to their lusts, leading ungodly lives.

mkjv@Jude:1:19 @ These are those setting themselves apart, animal-like ones, not having the Spirit.

mkjv@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

mkjv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life.

mkjv@Jude:1:22 @ But pity some, making distinction.

mkjv@Jude:1:23 @ But save others with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment having been stained from the flesh.

mkjv@Jude:1:24 @ Now to Him being able to keep you without stumbling, and to set you before His glory without blemish, with unspeakable joy;

mkjv@Jude:1:25 @ to the only wise God, our Savior, [be] glory and majesty and might and authority, even now and forever. Amen.
