tcent@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God

tcent@Romans:1:2 @ which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

tcent@Romans:1:5 @ Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

tcent@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

tcent@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

tcent@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—

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

tcent@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.«

tcent@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth,

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his eternal power and deity, has been clearly seen, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

tcent@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

tcent@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

tcent@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,

tcent@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural.

tcent@Romans:1:27 @ And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

tcent@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge another; for in whatever point you pass judgment on him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

tcent@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

tcent@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hardness and your impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

tcent@Romans:2:6 @ For he »will render to each one according to his works«:

tcent@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

tcent@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

tcent@Romans:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

tcent@Romans:2:10 @ but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

tcent@Romans:2:11 @ For God shows no partiality.

tcent@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

tcent@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, »The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.«

tcent@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something outward and in the flesh.

tcent@Romans:3:6 @ Certainly not! For then how could God judge the world?

tcent@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? Certainly not; for we have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore no flesh will be justified in his sight by works of the law, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference,

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

tcent@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

tcent@Romans:3:28 @ For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

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

tcent@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

tcent@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:12 @ And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

tcent@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings wrath, for where there is no law there is no transgression.

tcent@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

tcent@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, »it was reckoned to him,« were written not for his sake alone,

tcent@Romans:4:24 @ but for us also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

tcent@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered to death for our sins and was raised for our justification.

tcent@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@Romans:5:6 @ When we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

tcent@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.

tcent@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

tcent@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

tcent@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

tcent@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

tcent@Romans:5:13 @ For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted when there is no law.

tcent@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

tcent@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification.

tcent@Romans:5:17 @ For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

tcent@Romans:5:18 @ So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

tcent@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

tcent@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

tcent@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

tcent@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

tcent@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

tcent@Romans:6:10 @ The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

tcent@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions.

tcent@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not have dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

tcent@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for holiness.

tcent@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

tcent@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

tcent@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of her husband.

tcent@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

tcent@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«

tcent@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, finding opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetous desire. For apart from the law sin lies dead.

tcent@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

tcent@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand what I do. For I do not do what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

tcent@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

tcent@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good I want to do; but the evil I do not want to do is what I do.

tcent@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

tcent@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

tcent@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weakened through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin: he condemned sin in the flesh,

tcent@Romans:8:5 @ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

tcent@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so;

tcent@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

tcent@Romans:8:14 @ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

tcent@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship by whom we cry out, »Abba, Father.«

tcent@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

tcent@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

tcent@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

tcent@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

tcent@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

tcent@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

tcent@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

tcent@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

tcent@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

tcent@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

tcent@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

tcent@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

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

tcent@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:9:5 @ Of them are the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, forever blessed. Amen.

tcent@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel,

tcent@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said: »About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.«

tcent@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses,

tcent@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, »I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.«

tcent@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore he has mercy on whom he wills, and he hardens the heart of whom he wills.

tcent@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, »Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?«

tcent@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, »Why have you made me like this?«

tcent@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

tcent@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

tcent@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

tcent@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth with speed and finality.«

tcent@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

tcent@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not according to knowledge.

tcent@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

tcent@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

tcent@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, »The man who does those things shall live by them.«

tcent@Romans:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his mouth and so is saved.

tcent@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him.

tcent@Romans:10:13 @ For, »everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.«

tcent@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, »Lord, who has believed our message?«

tcent@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for

tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?—

tcent@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? »I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.«

tcent@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean!

tcent@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

tcent@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

tcent@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!

tcent@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

tcent@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

tcent@Romans:11:32 @ For God has bound all men over to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

tcent@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

tcent@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

tcent@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

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

tcent@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.

tcent@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, »Vengeance is mine, I will repay,« says the Lord.

tcent@Romans:12:20 @ No, »if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.«

tcent@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

tcent@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

tcent@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will have praise from him.

tcent@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is God’s servant, an avenger to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.

tcent@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

tcent@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's ministers, attending to this very thing.

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

tcent@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

tcent@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the hour, that now it is full time for you to wake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

tcent@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

tcent@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, accept him, but not for disputes over opinions.

tcent@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not, and let not him who does not eat pass judgment on him who eats; for God has accepted him.

tcent@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.

tcent@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

tcent@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

tcent@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

tcent@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

tcent@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written:

tcent@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brother’s way.

tcent@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

tcent@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

tcent@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;

tcent@Romans:14:19 @ Let us therefore pursue what makes for peace and for mutual edification.

tcent@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

tcent@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself for what he approves.

tcent@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

tcent@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

tcent@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.

tcent@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised to show God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

tcent@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

tcent@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed—

tcent@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any place for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

tcent@Romans:15:24 @ I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through, and to be helped by you on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

tcent@Romans:15:25 @ Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.

tcent@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

tcent@Romans:15:27 @ They were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

tcent@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them this fruit, I shall go on by way of you to Spain.

tcent@Romans:15:30 @ Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

tcent@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

tcent@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she has need from you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

tcent@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

tcent@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert of Asia for Christ.

tcent@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.

tcent@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

tcent@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple.

tcent@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

tcent@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 which was kept secret for long ages

tcent@Romans:16:27 @ to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh may boast before God.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, »Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.«

tcent@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood it; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit which is in him? Even so no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, even now you are not ready,

tcent@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and are you not walking like mere men?

tcent@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, »I am of Paul,« and another, »I am of Apollos,« are you not mere men?

tcent@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can any one lay than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,

tcent@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

tcent@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in favor of one against the other.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who regards you as different? 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?

tcent@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, like men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

tcent@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 distinguished, but we are without honor.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and have already passed judgment on the one who has committed this, as if I were present.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When any one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:13 @ »Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food«—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, »The two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@1Corinthians:6:20 @ you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

tcent@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was free when called is Christ's slave.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it. For the form of this world is passing away.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is good and to secure undivided devotion to the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Therefore concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many »gods« and many »lords«),

tcent@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we exist.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

tcent@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to fall.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the Law of Moses, »You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.« Is it for oxen that God is concerned?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or is he speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion. For woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

tcent@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if it is not of my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Therefore I do not run aimlessly. I do not box as a man beating the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

tcent@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are examples for us, not to desire evil things as they did.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for, »The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising questions of conscience.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, »This has been offered in sacrifice,« then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who informed you and for conscience' sake—

tcent@1Corinthians:10:29 @ the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, let her cover her head.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

tcent@1Corinthians:11:9 @ neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman was made from man, so also man is born of woman. And all things are from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

tcent@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, »This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.«

tcent@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, »Jesus be cursed,« and no one can say, »Jesus is Lord,« except by the Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, »Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, »Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:25 @ so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

tcent@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 know fully—even as I have been fully known.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their edification and encouragement and comfort.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:8 @ And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So it is with you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is intelligible, how will anyone know what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the one who is speaking, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So it is with you; since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in building up the church.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; but prophecy is for believers, not for unbelievers.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What is the outcome then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, or a teaching, or a revelation, or a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as even the law says.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by a man came death, by a man came also the resurrection of the dead.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:27 @ »For God has put all things in subjection under his feet.« But when it says, »All things are put in subjection under him,« it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are people baptized for them?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:39 @ For not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you must also do.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:4 @ If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:5 @ But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;

tcent@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you with nothing to fear, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one despise him. Send him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Give recognition to such men.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,

tcent@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings that we suffer.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You also must help us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with holiness and godly sincerity, not in worldly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and still more toward you.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; and I hope you will understand fully,

tcent@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it has always been Yes.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are Yes. And so through him we speak our Amen to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith; but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:8 @ I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was fading away came with glory, much more is the glory of that which lasts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, »Let light shine out of darkness,« who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

tcent@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, »I believed and therefore I spoke,« we also believe and therefore speak,

tcent@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

tcent@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are unseen are eternal.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore we are always of good courage; and we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to you, but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you may have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a fleshly point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a fleshly point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:20 @ We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:7 @ in truthful speech, and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;

tcent@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

tcent@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

tcent@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. With all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—conflicts on the outside and fears within.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

tcent@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—for I see that my letter hurt you, though only for a little while—

tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold what this very thing, godly sorrow, has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, they gave of their own free will,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:4 @ urgently pleading with us for the privilege of sharing in the relief of the saints.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in everything—in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us—see that you excel in this work of grace also.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

tcent@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may have an abundance for every good work.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will multiply the harvest of your righteousness.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Because of the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in your confession of the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

tcent@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

tcent@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war as the flesh does.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, »His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is weak, and his speech of no account.«

tcent@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you; we were the first to come even as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast of work already done in another man's territory.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, being so wise yourselves!

tcent@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you put up with anyone if he makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or exalts himself, or strikes you in the face.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I should boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, »My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.« Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:10 @ That is why, for Christ's sake, I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what respect were you inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

tcent@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you what I wish you to be, and you may not find me what you wish me to be; I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lewdness which they have practiced.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your perfection.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

tcent@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

tcent@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so I say again now, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

tcent@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

tcent@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it;

tcent@Galatians:1:14 @ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

tcent@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

tcent@Galatians:1:20 @ (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I do not lie.)

tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

tcent@Galatians:2:5 @ We did not yield to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

tcent@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

tcent@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing the party of the circumcision.

tcent@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, »If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

tcent@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

tcent@Galatians:2:19 @ For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

tcent@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

tcent@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing.«

tcent@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

tcent@Galatians:3:7 @ Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

tcent@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, »In you will all the nations be blessed.«

tcent@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to do them.«

tcent@Galatians:3:11 @ Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, »The righteous man shall live by faith.«

tcent@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree«—

tcent@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness would indeed have come by the law.

tcent@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

tcent@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

tcent@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

tcent@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

tcent@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

tcent@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

tcent@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

tcent@Galatians:4:17 @ They seek you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, so that you may seek them.

tcent@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

tcent@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:24 @ This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

tcent@Galatians:4:25 @ Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

tcent@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written,

tcent@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the scripture say? »Cast out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.«

tcent@Galatians:5:1 @ It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

tcent@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.

tcent@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

tcent@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

tcent@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

tcent@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you would.

tcent@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

tcent@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

tcent@Galatians:6:5 @ For each one will bear his own load.

tcent@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

tcent@Galatians:6:8 @ For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

tcent@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

tcent@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:6:13 @ For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

tcent@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.

tcent@Galatians:6:17 @ From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:1:4 @ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him. In love

tcent@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

tcent@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fullness of the times, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth. In him

tcent@Ephesians:1:12 @ in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of his glory.

tcent@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

tcent@Ephesians:1:22 @ And he put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things for the church,

tcent@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God—

tcent@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we would walk in them.

tcent@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called »Uncircumcision« by the so-called »Circumcision,« which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

tcent@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,

tcent@Ephesians:2:18 @ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

tcent@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

tcent@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

tcent@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make plain to everyone the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

tcent@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

tcent@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

tcent@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

tcent@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

tcent@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it says,

tcent@Ephesians:4:12 @ to equip the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ;

tcent@Ephesians:4:19 @ and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, greedy for the practice of every kind of impurity.

tcent@Ephesians:4:22 @ You were taught, with regard to your former manner of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful lusts;

tcent@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, each one of you must speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

tcent@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

tcent@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

tcent@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

tcent@Ephesians:5:2 @ and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

tcent@Ephesians:5:5 @ For of this you can be sure, that no immoral, impure, or covetous person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

tcent@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

tcent@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not be partners with them;

tcent@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

tcent@Ephesians:5:9 @ (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

tcent@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

tcent@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

tcent@Ephesians:5:14 @ For this reason it is said,

tcent@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

tcent@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

tcent@Ephesians:5:20 @ always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is himself the Savior.

tcent@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

tcent@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

tcent@Ephesians:5:31 @ »For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

tcent@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

tcent@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

tcent@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

tcent@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and petition. And with this in view, keep alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:6:19 @ and also pray for me, that in the opening of my mouth, utterance may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

tcent@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

tcent@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

tcent@Philippians:1:4 @ always making my prayer with joy in every prayer of mine for you all,

tcent@Philippians:1:6 @ For I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:1:7 @ For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

tcent@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

tcent@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;

tcent@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philippians:1:19 @ for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

tcent@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

tcent@Philippians:1:22 @ But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I do not know.

tcent@Philippians:1:23 @ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;

tcent@Philippians:1:24 @ but to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

tcent@Philippians:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

tcent@Philippians:1:27 @ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

tcent@Philippians:1:28 @ in no way frightened by your opponents. This is a sign of destruction to them, but of salvation for you – and that too, from God.

tcent@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,

tcent@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

tcent@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

tcent@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

tcent@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

tcent@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

tcent@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

tcent@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one else like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

tcent@Philippians:2:21 @ For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

tcent@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was ill.

tcent@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may have less anxiety.

tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

tcent@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

tcent@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil workers, watch out for those mutilators of the body.

tcent@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

tcent@Philippians:3:4 @ though I myself have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:8 @ More than that, I count everything to be loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

tcent@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

tcent@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

tcent@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:20 @ But our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

tcent@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

tcent@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you had no opportunity.

tcent@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

tcent@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessalonica you sent me a gift once and again for my needs.

tcent@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

tcent@Philippians:4:20 @ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Colossians:1:3 @ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

tcent@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

tcent@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel

tcent@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason also, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

tcent@Colossians:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,

tcent@Colossians:1:13 @ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

tcent@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Colossians:1:16 @ For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

tcent@Colossians:1:17 @ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

tcent@Colossians:1:19 @ For all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in him

tcent@Colossians:1:22 @ yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, in order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

tcent@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share for the sake of his body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

tcent@Colossians:1:25 @ Of this church I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

tcent@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

tcent@Colossians:1:29 @ For this end I labor, striving with all his energy, which so mightily works within me.

tcent@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh,

tcent@Colossians:2:5 @ For even though I am absent in flesh, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

tcent@Colossians:2:6 @ Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

tcent@Colossians:2:9 @ For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

tcent@Colossians:2:13 @ When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our sins,

tcent@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one judge you in questions of food or drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.

tcent@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you for the prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

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

tcent@Colossians:3:5 @ Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.

tcent@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord forgave you, so you also must forgive.

tcent@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

tcent@Colossians:3:25 @ For he who does wrong will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

tcent@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray for us as well, that God may open a door to us for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains,

tcent@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

tcent@Colossians:4:11 @ and also Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved to be a comfort to me.

tcent@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of your number, a servant of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

tcent@Colossians:4:13 @ I testify for him that he has worked hard for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we have no need to say anything.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity, nor is it made with deceit;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you know, we never used flattery nor a pretext for greed—God is witness—

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Having so fond an affection for you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, as a father with his own children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were taken away from you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one would be unsettled by these afflictions. You yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you in return for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that is, that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each one of you know how to take his own spouse for himself in holiness and honor,

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Now concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Abstain from every form of evil.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of God's righteous judgment, so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and may fulfill every good resolve and work of faith by his power,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it did also with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: »If anyone will not work, he shall not eat.«

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, not doing any work at all, but acting like busybodies.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

tcent@1Timothy:1:6 @ For some men have wandered away from these things and turned aside to fruitless discussion,

tcent@1Timothy:1:9 @ realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

tcent@1Timothy:1:13 @ Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor, I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

tcent@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord was overflowing for me, with the faith and love that are found in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:1:15 @ It is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost.

tcent@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

tcent@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,

tcent@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 dignity.

tcent@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

tcent@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all—the testimony given at the proper time.

tcent@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

tcent@1Timothy:2:8 @ Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or quarreling.

tcent@1Timothy:2:10 @ but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess godliness.

tcent@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

tcent@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

tcent@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

tcent@1Timothy:4:5 @ for it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

tcent@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily training is of some value, but godliness is of value in all things, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

tcent@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

tcent@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in them, for if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

tcent@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

tcent@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.

tcent@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

tcent@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

tcent@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to marry,

tcent@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their homes, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach.

tcent@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

tcent@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the scripture says, »You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,« and, »The laborer deserves his wages.«

tcent@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

tcent@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are obvious, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins appear later.

tcent@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of it.

tcent@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

tcent@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

tcent@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that life which is life indeed.

tcent@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you as well.

tcent@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

tcent@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love and self-discipline.

tcent@2Timothy:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to testify of our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

tcent@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

tcent@2Timothy:1:12 @ For this reason I also suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

tcent@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me—

tcent@2Timothy:2:7 @ Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

tcent@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I am suffering even to the point of wearing chains like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.

tcent@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

tcent@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

tcent@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.

tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

tcent@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

tcent@2Timothy:3:3 @ unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

tcent@2Timothy:3:5 @ holding a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.

tcent@2Timothy:3:6 @ For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, weighed down with sins and swayed by various impulses,

tcent@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

tcent@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, knowing from whom you learned it,

tcent@2Timothy:3:15 @ and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:3:16 @ All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness;

tcent@2Timothy:3:17 @ so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

tcent@2Timothy:4:3 @ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires,

tcent@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

tcent@2Timothy:4:8 @ In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

tcent@2Timothy:4:10 @ for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

tcent@2Timothy:4:11 @ Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.

tcent@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him for his deeds.

tcent@2Timothy:4:15 @ Be on guard against him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.

tcent@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

tcent@Titus:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth which leads to godliness,

tcent@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

tcent@Titus:1:7 @ For the overseer must be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not fond of sordid gain,

tcent@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.

tcent@Titus:1:11 @ They must be silenced, because they are upsetting whole families by teaching things they ought not to teach for the sake of sordid gain.

tcent@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith

tcent@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable and disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

tcent@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine.

tcent@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

tcent@Titus:2:13 @ looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

tcent@Titus:2:14 @ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, zealous for good deeds.

tcent@Titus:3:1 @ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,

tcent@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another.

tcent@Titus:3:8 @ This is a trustworthy saying; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for men.

tcent@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and quarrels about the Law, for they are unprofitable and useless.

tcent@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

tcent@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

tcent@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I am bold enough in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

tcent@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I rather appeal to yousince I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus

tcent@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.

tcent@Philemon:1:13 @ I would have been glad to keep him with me, so that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;

tcent@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,

tcent@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope through your prayers to be granted to you.

tcent@Hebrews:1:3 @ He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his being, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

tcent@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did God ever say, And again,

tcent@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to serve for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

tcent@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay more careful attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

tcent@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken by angels was valid, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

tcent@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it is not to angels that he subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

tcent@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

tcent@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

tcent@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

tcent@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

tcent@Hebrews:2:16 @ For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned, but with the descendants of Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

tcent@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

tcent@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

tcent@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have come to share in Christ if we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

tcent@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

tcent@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any one of you be judged to have come short of it.

tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

tcent@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: »And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«

tcent@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

tcent@Hebrews:4:7 @ God again set a certain day, »Today,« saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

tcent@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another day.

tcent@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God;

tcent@Hebrews:4:10 @ for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.

tcent@Hebrews:4:11 @ Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience.

tcent@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

tcent@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

tcent@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:5:9 @ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

tcent@Hebrews:5:13 @ for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

tcent@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their sense trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

tcent@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

tcent@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

tcent@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which drinks the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

tcent@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

tcent@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

tcent@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men swear by one greater than themselves, and in all their disputes the oath is final for confirmation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

tcent@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

tcent@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not one designated according to the order of Aaron?

tcent@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.

tcent@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

tcent@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

tcent@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is declared of him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

tcent@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

tcent@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but he became a priest with an oath through the One who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

tcent@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he holds his priesthood forever, because he continues for ever.

tcent@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore he is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

tcent@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

tcent@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need, like those high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

tcent@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

tcent@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; and so it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

tcent@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was instructed by God, saying, »See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.«

tcent@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

tcent@Hebrews:8:8 @ For he finds fault with them when he says:

tcent@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

tcent@Hebrews:9:2 @ For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

tcent@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tabernacle, performing their ritual duties.

tcent@Hebrews:9:7 @ But into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

tcent@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is symbolic for the present time. According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

tcent@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they relate only to food and drink and various washings – regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of reformation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the holy place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

tcent@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

tcent@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

tcent@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

tcent@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

tcent@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

tcent@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

tcent@Hebrews:9:26 @ For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

tcent@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

tcent@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

tcent@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

tcent@Hebrews:10:10 @ And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

tcent@Hebrews:10:12 @ But when he had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

tcent@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time until his enemies be made a stool for his feet.

tcent@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

tcent@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

tcent@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

tcent@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

tcent@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

tcent@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

tcent@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the Day drawing near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

tcent@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who said, And again,

tcent@Hebrews:10:32 @ But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

tcent@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

tcent@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

tcent@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

tcent@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

tcent@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the men of old received divine approval.

tcent@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

tcent@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in godly fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

tcent@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he lived in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise;

tcent@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he was looking forward to the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

tcent@Hebrews:11:14 @ For people who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

tcent@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

tcent@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

tcent@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

tcent@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

tcent@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

tcent@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions,

tcent@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight.

tcent@Hebrews:11:40 @ because God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

tcent@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

tcent@Hebrews:12:2 @ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

tcent@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? –

tcent@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

tcent@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

tcent@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

tcent@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore lift your feeble hands and strengthen your weak knees,

tcent@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

tcent@Hebrews:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

tcent@Hebrews:12:16 @ that no one be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

tcent@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

tcent@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

tcent@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, »If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less shall we escape, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?

tcent@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe,

tcent@Hebrews:12:29 @ for our God is a consuming fire.

tcent@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

tcent@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

tcent@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, »I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you.«

tcent@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

tcent@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

tcent@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

tcent@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city which is to come.

tcent@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

tcent@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

tcent@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

tcent@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Hebrews:13:22 @ I urge you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

tcent@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

tcent@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

tcent@James:1:7 @ For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

tcent@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls and its beauty is destroyed. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

tcent@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

tcent@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

tcent@James:1:15 @ Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death.

tcent@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

tcent@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

tcent@James:1:21 @ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

tcent@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

tcent@James:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

tcent@James:2:2 @ For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothes,

tcent@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point has become guilty of all of it.

tcent@James:2:11 @ For he who said, »Do not commit adultery,« said also, »Do not murder.« If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

tcent@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

tcent@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »Go in peace, be warmed and filled,« and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

tcent@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

tcent@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

tcent@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

tcent@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

tcent@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

tcent@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

tcent@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

tcent@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says,

tcent@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

tcent@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

tcent@James:4:14 @ Yet you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

tcent@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rains.

tcent@James:5:8 @ You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

tcent@James:5:14 @ Is any among you sick? 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;

tcent@James:5:15 @ and the prayer offered in faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

tcent@James:5:16 @ Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

tcent@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

tcent@1Peter:1:2 @ who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling with his blood: may grace and peace be yours in abundance.

tcent@1Peter:1:4 @ to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, kept in heaven for you,

tcent@1Peter:1:5 @ who are protected by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

tcent@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials,

tcent@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober in spirit, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:16 @ because it is written, »You shall be holy, for I am holy.«

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:1:22 @ Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

tcent@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

tcent@1Peter:1:24 @ For,

tcent@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

tcent@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

tcent@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

tcent@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture:

tcent@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, this is precious, but for those who do not believe,

tcent@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

tcent@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the supreme authority,

tcent@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

tcent@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.

tcent@1Peter:2:19 @ For a man is approved if, mindful of God, he bears up under pain while suffering unjustly.

tcent@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you patiently endure? But if when you do right and suffer for it you patiently endure, you have favor with God.

tcent@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

tcent@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

tcent@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, and were submissive to their own husbands;

tcent@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead; for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

tcent@1Peter:3:10 @ For,

tcent@1Peter:3:13 @ Who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

tcent@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,

tcent@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect;

tcent@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.

tcent@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

tcent@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

tcent@1Peter:3:21 @ And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

tcent@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

tcent@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they might live in the spirit according to the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is near; therefore be clear minded and sober for your prayers.

tcent@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

tcent@1Peter:4:17 @ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

tcent@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore, let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

tcent@1Peter:5:2 @ shepherd the flock of God that is under your care, serving as overseers—not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

tcent@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

tcent@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

tcent@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

tcent@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge,

tcent@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

tcent@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall;

tcent@2Peter:1:11 @ so there will be an entrance richly provided for you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.

tcent@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

tcent@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@2Peter:1:21 @ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

tcent@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

tcent@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

tcent@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

tcent@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you.

tcent@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

tcent@2Peter:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his own transgression by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

tcent@2Peter:2:17 @ These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm; for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.

tcent@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking out arrogant words of vanity, they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error.

tcent@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

tcent@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

tcent@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

tcent@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

tcent@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, »Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.«

tcent@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by means of water,

tcent@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

tcent@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

tcent@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

tcent@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

tcent@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, spotless and blameless.

tcent@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

tcent@1John:2:2 @ And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

tcent@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

tcent@1John:2:16 @ For 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.

tcent@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

tcent@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that it might be plain that none of them were of us.

tcent@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

tcent@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 appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

tcent@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

tcent@1John:3:9 @ No one who is of God practices sin, for God’s seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

tcent@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

tcent@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

tcent@1John:3:19 @ By this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him

tcent@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

tcent@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

tcent@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world and therefore speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

tcent@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

tcent@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

tcent@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

tcent@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us.

tcent@1John:4:17 @ In this love is perfected among us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

tcent@1John:4:20 @ If anyone says, »I love God,« and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

tcent@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

tcent@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

tcent@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which he has borne witness of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

tcent@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

tcent@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

tcent@2John:1:8 @ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.

tcent@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares in his wicked work.

tcent@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, and how you are walking in truth.

tcent@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

tcent@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

tcent@3John:1:7 @ For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

tcent@3John:1:8 @ Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

tcent@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

tcent@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was very eager to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

tcent@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in secretly, those who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

tcent@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that the Lord who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

tcent@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, he has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

tcent@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into the Balaam's error, and perished in Korah's rebellion.

tcent@Jude:1:12 @ These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

tcent@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

tcent@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for their own advantage.

tcent@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

tcent@Jude:1:24 @ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with great joy,

tcent@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
