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

tcent@Romans:1:3 @ concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

tcent@Romans:1:4 @ and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

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:1:7 @ To all in Rome who are beloved of God, called to be saints:

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:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have some harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

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:1:20 @ 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:1:23 @ 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:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a base mind, to do what ought not to be done.

tcent@Romans:1:29 @ They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, depravity. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,

tcent@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

tcent@Romans:1:32 @ Though they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

tcent@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

tcent@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do the same yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

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:2:13 @ 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:2:15 @ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them

tcent@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God

tcent@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve of what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

tcent@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

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

tcent@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

tcent@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

tcent@Romans:2:27 @ The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a breaker of the law.

tcent@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, and not by the written code. His praise is not from men but from God.

tcent@Romans:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew, or what is the value of circumcision?

tcent@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way! To begin with, they are entrusted with the oracles of God.

tcent@Romans:3:3 @ What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

tcent@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

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:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been revealed apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

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:3:26 @ and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

tcent@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is our boasting? It is excluded. On what law? On the law of works? No, but on the law of faith.

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

tcent@Romans:3:29 @ Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

tcent@Romans:4:6 @ So also David describes the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

tcent@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be reckoned to them.

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:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

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:4:16 @ 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:4:17 @ (as it is written, »I have made you the father of many nations«) in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they did.

tcent@Romans:4:18 @ In hope, he believed against hope, so that he became the father of many nations; as he had been told, »So shall your descendants be.«

tcent@Romans:4:19 @ And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

tcent@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

tcent@Romans:5:2 @ through whom we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of the glory of God.

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:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

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:6:3 @ Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

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:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

tcent@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one to obey as slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

tcent@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

tcent@Romans:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.

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:6:20 @ When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

tcent@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.

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:7:2 @ 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:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit to God.

tcent@Romans:7:6 @ But now, by dying to what once held us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

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

tcent@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law, at war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

tcent@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

tcent@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

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:8:4 @ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

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:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.

tcent@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you.

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:8:16 @ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

tcent@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, in order that we may also be glorified with him.

tcent@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us.

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:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.

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:8:27 @ 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:8:34 @ 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:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

tcent@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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:9:4 @ They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.

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:9:7 @ nor are they all children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but, »Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.«

tcent@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

tcent@Romans:9:11 @ though the twins were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might stand, not because of works but because of his call,

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

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:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: »Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.

tcent@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, who pursued the law of righteousness, has not attained that law.

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:10:8 @ But what does it say? (that is, the word of faith which we preach);

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:10:14 @ How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?

tcent@Romans:10:15 @ And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, »How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!«

tcent@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

tcent@Romans:10:21 @ But of Israel he says, »All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.«

tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

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:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

tcent@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.

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:11:16 @ If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,

tcent@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, »Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.«

tcent@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.

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:11:24 @ 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:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

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:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!

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:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

tcent@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

tcent@Romans:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.

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

tcent@Romans:13:7 @ Pay all of them their dues: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

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

tcent@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

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:14:7 @ 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:14:12 @ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

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:14:16 @ So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

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:14:20 @ 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:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

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:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

tcent@Romans:15:6 @ that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

tcent@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

tcent@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written very boldly to you on some points, so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

tcent@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

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:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

tcent@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

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:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

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:15:33 @ The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

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

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:16:7 @ 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:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

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

tcent@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

tcent@Romans:16:17 @ I urge you, brethren, to take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; avoid them.

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:16:20 @ And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

tcent@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, who is my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, our brother.

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:16:26 @ but is now revealed and made known to all nations through the prophetic writings, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—

tcent@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

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:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

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:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each one of you says, »I am of Paul,« and »I of Apollos,« and »I of Cephas,« and »I of Christ.«

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

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:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

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:1:24 @ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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:1:27 @ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet we do speak a wisdom among the mature, a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away.

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:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand the things freely given to us by 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:2:16 @ But we have the mind of Christ.

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:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

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:3:19 @ 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:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted by this. It is the Lord who judges me.

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:4:9 @ 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:4:13 @ when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

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:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the words of these arrogant people, but their power.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

tcent@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: a man has his father's wife.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is 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:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

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:5:11 @ But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

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:6:3 @ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life!

tcent@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have disputes about such matters, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,

tcent@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

tcent@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

tcent@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

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:7:6 @ I say this by way of concession, not of command.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

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:7:32 @ But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

tcent@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but a married man is concerned about the affairs of the world, how he may please his wife,

tcent@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman, and the virgin, is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman is concerned about the affairs of the world, how she may please her husband.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

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:8:9 @ But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

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:9:5 @ Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Does not the Law say the same thing?

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:9:12 @ If others share this right of support from you, do not we all the more?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?

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:9:18 @ What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my right in the gospel.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who are without law, I became as one without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without the law.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, »The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:8 @ We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

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:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

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

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:10:19 @ What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but I say that the things pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience;

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:11 @ In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

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:11:16 @ If anyone wants to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? No, I will not.

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:11:25 @ In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, »This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, 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:11:28 @ Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

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:12:4 @ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:5 @ And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:6 @ There are varieties of working, but the same God who works all of them in all men.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:10 @ and to another the working of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another distinguishing between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

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:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

tcent@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we treat with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then those having gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and those speaking in various kinds of tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

tcent@1Corinthians:13:1 @ If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:5 @ or rude, it does not seek its own, it is not provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs,

tcent@1Corinthians:13:13 @ So now faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:10 @ Undoubtedly there are many languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

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:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the »Amen« to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, he will fall on his face, and worship God, declaring that God is really among you.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:32 @ and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I would remind you, brethren, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,

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:15:6 @ After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:8 @ And last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.

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:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

tcent@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise, if in fact the dead are not 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:15:20 @ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

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

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:15:35 @ But someone will ask, »How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?«

tcent@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.

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:15:40 @ There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

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:15:42 @ So is it with the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised imperishable;

tcent@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, of dust; the second man is from heaven.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now I tell you this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

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:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

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:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each one of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

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:16:15 @ You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brethren,

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:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the lord, with the church that is in their house.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are throughout Achaia:

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:1:5 @ 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:1:8 @ 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:1:9 @ Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

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:1:14 @ as you have understood us in part, that you can be proud of us just as we can be of you, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double benefit.

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: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:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

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:2:13 @ I still had no rest in my mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took my leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

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:2:17 @ 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:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

tcent@2Corinthians:3:3 @ You show that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of carnal hearts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves; but our competence is from God,

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:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

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:3:13 @ We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of the radiance that was fading away.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

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:4:2 @ 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:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

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:4:10 @ always carrying about in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

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

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:5:10 @ 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:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:16 @ 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:5:18 @ All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

tcent@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

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:6:1 @ Working together with him, then, we urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, distresses,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

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:7:6 @ 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:7:12 @ 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:7:15 @ And his affection goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now, brethren, we want you to know about the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

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:8:5 @ And they did not do as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, he would also complete in you this work of grace.

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:8:8 @ I am not speaking this as a command, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

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:8:11 @ Now finish the work, so that your readiness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.

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:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many matters, but who is now more diligent than ever because of his great confidence in you.

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:9:4 @ lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

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:9:12 @ 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:10:1 @ I, Paul, myself urge you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold to you when I am away!—

tcent@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

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:10:5 @ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ,

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:11:7 @ Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

tcent@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And what I am doing, I will also continue to do, in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things of which they boast.

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:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying as the Lord would, but as a fool, in this confidence of boasting.

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:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, with more beatings, and often in danger of death.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:27 @ I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

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:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me,

tcent@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must go on boasting, though there is nothing to be gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

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:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated because of the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

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:12:12 @ 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:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you?

tcent@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

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:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.

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:13:10 @ 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@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

tcent@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

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:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel—

tcent@Galatians:1:7 @ which is really not another gospel; but there are some who are disturbing you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

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:1:19 @ But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

tcent@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

tcent@Galatians:1:22 @ I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

tcent@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God because of me.

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:2:4 @ But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

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:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

tcent@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

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:2:13 @ The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

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:2:16 @ yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

tcent@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

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:3:2 @ This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

tcent@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

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

tcent@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the man of faith.

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:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, »He who does them shall live by them.«

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:3:14 @ in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

tcent@Galatians:3:19 @ Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

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:3:26 @ 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:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

tcent@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of all the estate;

tcent@Galatians:4:3 @ So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the elemental things of the world.

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:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, »Abba! Father!«

tcent@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of an illness in the flesh that I preached the gospel to you at first;

tcent@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

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:4:28 @ Now you, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

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:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of the slave, but 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:5:2 @ Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

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:5:9 @ A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

tcent@Galatians:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

tcent@Galatians:5:16 @ But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

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:5:19 @ Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, lewdness,

tcent@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

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:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

tcent@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, even if anyone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

tcent@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

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:6:14 @ But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

tcent@Galatians:6:16 @ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.

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

tcent@Galatians:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus:

tcent@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

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:1:5 @ he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

tcent@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of his glorious grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

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:1:9 @ he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

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:1:11 @ also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will,

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:1:13 @ In him, you also have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having also believed, you were sealed in him with the promised Holy Spirit,

tcent@Ephesians:1:14 @ who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance, until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to 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:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him.

tcent@Ephesians:1:18 @ I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of his might

tcent@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

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:2:3 @ Among them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

tcent@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

tcent@Ephesians:2:7 @ so that in the coming ages he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

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:2:9 @ not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

tcent@Ephesians:2:12 @ remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

tcent@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

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:2:15 @ by abolishing in his flesh the hostility, which is the Law of commandments and ordinances, so that he might create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,

tcent@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are members of God's household,

tcent@Ephesians:2:20 @ having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

tcent@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

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:3:4 @ When you read this, you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

tcent@Ephesians:3:6 @ that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

tcent@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

tcent@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

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:3:10 @ so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

tcent@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.

tcent@Ephesians:3:16 @ that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man,

tcent@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

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:4:3 @ being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

tcent@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

tcent@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

tcent@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, »He ascended,« what does it mean except that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

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

tcent@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to become mature, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:4:14 @ As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.

tcent@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, being joined and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each part, causes the growth of the body and builds itself up in love.

tcent@Ephesians:4:17 @ Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds,

tcent@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardness of their heart;

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:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

tcent@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

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: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:5:8 @ 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:5:11 @ Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:16 @ making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

tcent@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are members of his body.

tcent@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a profound mystery; but I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

tcent@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, each one of you must also love his wife as himself, and the wife must see that she respects her husband.

tcent@Ephesians:6:4 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

tcent@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

tcent@Ephesians:6:6 @ not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

tcent@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

tcent@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

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

tcent@Ephesians:6:15 @ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

tcent@Ephesians:6:16 @ in addition to all this, taking up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

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@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

tcent@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

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

tcent@Philippians:1:5 @ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

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:1:10 @ so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ;

tcent@Philippians:1:11 @ having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

tcent@Philippians:1:14 @ and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have been encouraged to speak the word of God without fear.

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:1:25 @ 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:2:2 @ make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

tcent@Philippians:2:4 @ Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

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:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

tcent@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

tcent@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

tcent@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

tcent@Philippians:2:17 @ But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

tcent@Philippians:2:19 @ I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news of you.

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

tcent@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

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:3:2 @ 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:3:5 @ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

tcent@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

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:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God and is by faith,

tcent@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death;

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:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you.

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:4:3 @ Yes, and I ask you also, true yoke-fellow, to help these women who have struggled at my side in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

tcent@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

tcent@Philippians:4:9 @ Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

tcent@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be in need, and I also know how to have plenty; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and want.

tcent@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.

tcent@Philippians:4:15 @ You yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the first preaching of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only;

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

tcent@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

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:1:6 @ which has come to you, just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, even as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth;

tcent@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

tcent@Colossians:1:8 @ and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

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:1:10 @ so that you will live a life worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

tcent@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

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:1:15 @ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

tcent@Colossians:1:18 @ And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might have the first place in everything.

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

tcent@Colossians:1:20 @ and through him, to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

tcent@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a minister.

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:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

tcent@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ himself,

tcent@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

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:2:8 @ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to human tradition, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

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

tcent@Colossians:2:11 @ In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

tcent@Colossians:2:12 @ having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

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:2:14 @ having canceled the certificate of debt, which stood against us with its decrees. He took what was hostile away from us, nailing it to the cross.

tcent@Colossians:2:15 @ And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them through him.

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:2:17 @ These things are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

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:2:20 @ If with Christ you died to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you still belonged to it, do you submit to regulations such as,

tcent@Colossians:2:23 @ These indeed have an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

tcent@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

tcent@Colossians:3:6 @ Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

tcent@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices

tcent@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

tcent@Colossians:3:12 @ So, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

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:1:5 @ 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:2:2 @ but after we had already suffered and been shamefully treated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

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:2:12 @ to live a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

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:2:16 @ hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last.

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:3:2 @ and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, just as we long to see 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:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

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:4:12 @ so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.

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: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:5:8 @ But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

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:5:22 @ Abstain from every form of evil.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

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:1:12 @ so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we beg you, brethren,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

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:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

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:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,

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:2:14 @ He called you to this through our gospel, that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

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:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

tcent@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

tcent@1Timothy:1:5 @ But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

tcent@1Timothy:1:7 @ wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

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:1:11 @ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

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:1:19 @ holding faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and made shipwreck of their faith.

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

tcent@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

tcent@1Timothy:2:4 @ who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

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

tcent@1Timothy:2:15 @ But women will be saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-restraint.

tcent@1Timothy:3:1 @ It is a trustworthy saying: if any one aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.

tcent@1Timothy:3:2 @ Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

tcent@1Timothy:3:3 @ not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

tcent@1Timothy:3:5 @ (If a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church?).

tcent@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

tcent@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, and not fond of sordid gain;

tcent@1Timothy:3:9 @ they must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

tcent@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be the husband of one wife, and must manage their children and their households well.

tcent@1Timothy:3:15 @ if I am delayed, you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

tcent@1Timothy:3:16 @ By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness:

tcent@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

tcent@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the pretensions of liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,

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

tcent@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you point out these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

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:4:9 @ It is a trustworthy saying worthy of full acceptance.

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:4:13 @ Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.

tcent@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you through prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands on you.

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:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband,

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:5:17 @ The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

tcent@1Timothy:5:19 @ Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

tcent@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful of sinning.

tcent@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, doing nothing out of favoritism.

tcent@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

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:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be spoken against.

tcent@1Timothy:6:3 @ If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,

tcent@1Timothy:6:5 @ and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a means of gain.

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:6:11 @ But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

tcent@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

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:6:14 @ to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Timothy:6:15 @ which he will bring about at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

tcent@1Timothy:6:17 @ Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with everything to enjoy.

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@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,

tcent@1Timothy:6:21 @ which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

tcent@2Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

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:1:10 @ but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

tcent@2Timothy:1:13 @ Follow the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:1:15 @ You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

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:2:2 @ And the things you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

tcent@2Timothy:2:3 @ Share in hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:6 @ The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

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:2:14 @ Remind them of these things, and charge them in the presence of God to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

tcent@2Timothy:2:15 @ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.

tcent@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, having this seal: »The Lord knows those who are his,« and, »Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.«

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:2:25 @ with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,

tcent@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

tcent@2Timothy:3:1 @ But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.

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:3:4 @ treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

tcent@2Timothy:3:5 @ holding a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.

tcent@2Timothy:3:7 @ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

tcent@2Timothy:3:8 @ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

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:3:16 @ 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:4:1 @ I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

tcent@2Timothy:4:2 @ preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction.

tcent@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

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:4:19 @ Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

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:1:2 @ in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

tcent@Titus:1:3 @ and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior,

tcent@Titus:1:6 @ namely, if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild or rebellious.

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:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of what is good, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;

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:1:12 @ One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said,

tcent@Titus:1:14 @ and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who reject the truth.

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:3:2 @ to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable and gentle, and to show true humility toward all men.

tcent@Titus:3:4 @ But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,

tcent@Titus:3:5 @ he saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but because of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Titus:3:7 @ so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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:3:14 @ Our people must also learn to devote themselves to good deeds, so that they may help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.

tcent@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

tcent@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,

tcent@Philemon:1:6 @ and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing that is ours in Christ.

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:1:9 @ 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:1:14 @ but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.

tcent@Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

tcent@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

tcent@Hebrews:1:2 @ but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the world.

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:1:7 @ Of the angels he says,

tcent@Hebrews:1:8 @ But of the Son he says,

tcent@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has he ever said,

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:2:4 @ while God also bore witness, by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will.

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:2:15 @ and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

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:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

tcent@Hebrews:3:3 @ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

tcent@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

tcent@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take care, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called »Today,« so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

tcent@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

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:4:8 @ 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:4:11 @ 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:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

tcent@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

tcent@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

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:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

tcent@Hebrews:5:9 @ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

tcent@Hebrews:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

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: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:6:2 @ with instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

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:6:5 @ and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

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:6:9 @ Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that accompany salvation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire each one of you to show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

tcent@Hebrews:6:12 @ so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

tcent@Hebrews:6:17 @ So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath,

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:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

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:7:2 @ And to him Abraham gave a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

tcent@Hebrews:7:3 @ Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually.

tcent@Hebrews:7:4 @ See how great he was! Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils.

tcent@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:7:8 @ In this case tithes are received by mortal men, but in that case by one of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

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:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

tcent@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

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:7:21 @ 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:7:22 @ Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

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:8:1 @ Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

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:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law.

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:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain was a tabernacle called the Holy of Holies,

tcent@Hebrews:9:4 @ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

tcent@Hebrews:9:5 @ and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

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:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation.

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:9:14 @ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

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:9:19 @ 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:9:20 @ saying, »This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.«

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:9:25 @ Nor was it that he should offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.

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:9:28 @ 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:10:2 @ Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.

tcent@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, »You did not desire, nor did you take pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings« (these are offered according to the law),

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:10:11 @ And every priest stands daily at his service, offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

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:10:14 @ For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

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:10:21 @ and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

tcent@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

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:10:27 @ but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

tcent@Hebrews:10:28 @ Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

tcent@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much severer punishment do you think a man will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as an unclean thing the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

tcent@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

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:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

tcent@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

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:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his gifts. And through faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

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:11:12 @ 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:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that country from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

tcent@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

tcent@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, »Through Isaac shall your descendants be called.«

tcent@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

tcent@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites, and gave orders concerning his bones.

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:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

tcent@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

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:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.

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:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated –

tcent@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy – wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

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:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

tcent@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had fathers of our flesh to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

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:12:13 @ 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:12:15 @ See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness spring up and cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;

tcent@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the blast of a trumpet, and the sound of a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further word be spoken to them.

tcent@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the joyful assembly

tcent@Hebrews:12:23 @ and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

tcent@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

tcent@Hebrews:12:27 @ This phrase, »Yet once more,« indicates the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

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: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:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.

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:13:15 @ Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

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:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant,

tcent@Hebrews:13:22 @ I urge you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

tcent@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: greetings.

tcent@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

tcent@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

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:1:9 @ But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

tcent@James:1:10 @ and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

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:1:17 @ Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

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:1:22 @ But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

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:1:25 @ 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:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

tcent@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

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:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

tcent@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

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:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

tcent@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness«, and he was called the friend of God.

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:3:3 @ If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.

tcent@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

tcent@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

tcent@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the members of the body. The tongue corrupts our whole person, sets the whole course of our life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

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:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

tcent@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.

tcent@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good life let him show his deeds in the humility of wisdom.

tcent@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy.

tcent@James:3:18 @ And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

tcent@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, »Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.«

tcent@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out against you; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

tcent@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

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:5:10 @ As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

tcent@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

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:5:20 @ let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen exiles in the Dispersion, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

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:1:3 @ Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

tcent@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:9 @ as you obtain the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:1:10 @ As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you inquired and searched carefully,

tcent@1Peter:1:11 @ seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

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:1:17 @ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile on earth.

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:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

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:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

tcent@1Peter:2:4 @ As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God—

tcent@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

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:2:12 @ Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

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:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:3:1 @ You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,

tcent@1Peter:3:4 @ but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God's sight.

tcent@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with honor as the weaker partner, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

tcent@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble in spirit.

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:3:20 @ 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:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.

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:4:4 @ In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they abuse you;

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:4:9 @ Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

tcent@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.

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:4:13 @ But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

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:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a troublesome meddler;

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:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed,

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:5:4 @ And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

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:5:9 @ But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren throughout the world.

tcent@1Peter:5:10 @ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.

tcent@1Peter:5:12 @ With the help of Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.

tcent@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

tcent@2Peter:1:2 @ grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

tcent@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence.

tcent@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and become partakers of the divine nature.

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:1:11 @ 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:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,

tcent@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

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:1:20 @ First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

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:2:2 @ And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

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:2:5 @ and if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

tcent@2Peter:2:6 @ and if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly thereafter;

tcent@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men

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:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

tcent@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, that never cease from sin; they entice unstable souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

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:2:18 @ 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:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

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:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days, with scoffing, following their own lusts

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:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

tcent@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy lives and godliness,

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:3:15 @ And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you.

tcent@2Peter:3:16 @ He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

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@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

tcent@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life—

tcent@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

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:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in him:

tcent@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not 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:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

tcent@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does right is born of him.

tcent@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God! And so we are! The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

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:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

tcent@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

tcent@1John:3:17 @ But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

tcent@1John:3:19 @ By this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him

tcent@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

tcent@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

tcent@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

tcent@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

tcent@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

tcent@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world and therefore speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

tcent@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

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:4:9 @ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

tcent@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

tcent@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

tcent@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

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:5:1 @ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

tcent@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

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:5:5 @ Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

tcent@1John:5:13 @ I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

tcent@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

tcent@1John:5:18 @ We know that anyone born of God does not sin; but he who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

tcent@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

tcent@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

tcent@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

tcent@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

tcent@2John:1:9 @ Anyone who runs ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

tcent@2John:1:13 @ The children of your chosen sister greet you.

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:1:6 @ 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:1:10 @ So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping against us with evil words. And not satisfied with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

tcent@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

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:1:4 @ 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:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in strange flesh, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

tcent@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a reviling judgment, but said, »The Lord rebuke you!«

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:1:13 @ 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:1:14 @ It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of his holy ones,

tcent@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.«

tcent@Jude:1:17 @ But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@Jude:1:18 @ they said to you, »In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly lusts.«

tcent@Jude:1:19 @ These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.

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:1:23 @ save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
