bbe@Romans:1:1 @Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,

bbe@Romans:1:3 @About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

bbe@Romans:1:4 @But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

bbe@Romans:1:5 @Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

bbe@Romans:1:6 @Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Romans:1:8 @First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

bbe@Romans:1:9 @For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

bbe@Romans:1:11 @For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

bbe@Romans:1:13 @You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

bbe@Romans:1:14 @I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning.

bbe@Romans:1:15 @For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.

bbe@Romans:1:17 @For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

bbe@Romans:1:18 @For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

bbe@Romans:1:20 @For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

bbe@Romans:1:23 @And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.

bbe@Romans:1:24 @For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

bbe@Romans:1:25 @Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

bbe@Romans:1:27 @And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

bbe@Romans:1:29 @Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

bbe@Romans:1:30 @Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

bbe@Romans:1:32 @Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

bbe@Romans:2:1 @So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

bbe@Romans:2:2 @And we are conscious that God is a true judge against those who do such things.

bbe@Romans:2:3 @But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

bbe@Romans:2:4 @Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

bbe@Romans:2:5 @But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;

bbe@Romans:2:7 @To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

bbe@Romans:2:8 @But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

bbe@Romans:2:9 @Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek;

bbe@Romans:2:10 @But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:

bbe@Romans:2:11 @For one man is not different from another before God.

bbe@Romans:2:12 @All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

bbe@Romans:2:13 @For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

bbe@Romans:2:15 @Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

bbe@Romans:2:17 @But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

bbe@Romans:2:22 @You who say that a man may not be untrue to his wife, are you true to yours? you who are a hater of images, do you do wrong to the house of God?

bbe@Romans:2:23 @You who take pride in the law, are you doing wrong to the honour of God by behaviour which is against the law?

bbe@Romans:2:24 @For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.

bbe@Romans:2:25 @It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

bbe@Romans:2:26 @If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?

bbe@Romans:2:27 @And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

bbe@Romans:2:28 @The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:

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

bbe@Romans:3:1 @How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

bbe@Romans:3:5 @But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

bbe@Romans:3:10 @As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does righteousness;

bbe@Romans:3:11 @Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God;

bbe@Romans:3:12 @They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one:

bbe@Romans:3:13 @Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

bbe@Romans:3:16 @Destruction and trouble are in their ways;

bbe@Romans:3:21 @But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

bbe@Romans:3:22 @That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

bbe@Romans:3:23 @For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

bbe@Romans:3:24 @And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:3:27 @What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

bbe@Romans:3:28 @For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

bbe@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

bbe@Romans:3:30 @If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

bbe@Romans:4:2 @For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.

bbe@Romans:4:6 @As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

bbe@Romans:4:7 @Happy are those who have forgiveness for their wrongdoing, and whose sins are covered.

bbe@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:10 @How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:

bbe@Romans:4:11 @And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

bbe@Romans:4:12 @And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.

bbe@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

bbe@Romans:4:17 @(As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

bbe@Romans:4:18 @Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

bbe@Romans:4:19 @And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

bbe@Romans:4:20 @Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

bbe@Romans:4:22 @For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:23 @Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

bbe@Romans:4:24 @But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

bbe@Romans:5:1 @For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

bbe@Romans:5:3 @And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

bbe@Romans:5:7 @Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

bbe@Romans:5:9 @Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

bbe@Romans:5:10 @For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

bbe@Romans:5:11 @And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

bbe@Romans:5:12 @For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

bbe@Romans:5:13 @Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

bbe@Romans:5:14 @But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

bbe@Romans:5:15 @But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

bbe@Romans:5:16 @And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

bbe@Romans:5:17 @For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:5:18 @So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

bbe@Romans:5:19 @Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

bbe@Romans:5:20 @And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

bbe@Romans:6:1 @What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

bbe@Romans:6:2 @In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

bbe@Romans:6:4 @We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

bbe@Romans:6:6 @Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

bbe@Romans:6:13 @And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

bbe@Romans:6:15 @What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

bbe@Romans:6:16 @Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

bbe@Romans:7:1 @Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

bbe@Romans:7:2 @For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

bbe@Romans:7:3 @So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

bbe@Romans:7:5 @For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

bbe@Romans:7:7 @What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

bbe@Romans:7:14 @For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

bbe@Romans:7:17 @So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:18 @For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

bbe@Romans:7:20 @But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:8:3 @For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

bbe@Romans:8:4 @So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

bbe@Romans:8:9 @You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

bbe@Romans:8:13 @For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

bbe@Romans:8:14 @And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:15 @For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

bbe@Romans:8:18 @I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future

bbe@Romans:8:19 @For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:22 @For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.

bbe@Romans:8:23 @And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

bbe@Romans:8:24 @For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

bbe@Romans:8:25 @But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.

bbe@Romans:8:28 @And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

bbe@Romans:8:29 @Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

bbe@Romans:8:32 @He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

bbe@Romans:8:34 @Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

bbe@Romans:8:36 @As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

bbe@Romans:8:39 @Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@Romans:9:3 @For I have a desire to take on myself the curse for my brothers, my family in the flesh:

bbe@Romans:9:4 @Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

bbe@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

bbe@Romans:9:10 @And not only so, but Rebecca being about to have a child by our father Isaac--

bbe@Romans:9:11 @Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

bbe@Romans:9:15 @For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

bbe@Romans:9:17 @For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

bbe@Romans:9:18 @So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard.

bbe@Romans:9:19 @But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

bbe@Romans:9:21 @Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame?

bbe@Romans:9:22 @What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

bbe@Romans:9:24 @Even us, who were marked out by him, not only from the Jews, but from the Gentiles?

bbe@Romans:9:26 @And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

bbe@Romans:9:27 @And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

bbe@Romans:9:28 @For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

bbe@Romans:9:30 @What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

bbe@Romans:9:32 @Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way;

bbe@Romans:9:33 @As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@Romans:10:1 @Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is, that they may get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:2 @For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.

bbe@Romans:10:4 @For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

bbe@Romans:10:9 @Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

bbe@Romans:10:10 @For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:13 @Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:18 @But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

bbe@Romans:10:19 @But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.

bbe@Romans:11:1 @So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

bbe@Romans:11:2 @God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

bbe@Romans:11:5 @In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

bbe@Romans:11:6 @But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

bbe@Romans:11:7 @What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

bbe@Romans:11:9 @And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:

bbe@Romans:11:11 @So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy

bbe@Romans:11:13 @But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

bbe@Romans:11:14 @If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:20 @Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

bbe@Romans:11:21 @For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:23 @And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

bbe@Romans:11:26 @And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

bbe@Romans:11:28 @As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

bbe@Romans:11:29 @Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

bbe@Romans:11:31 @So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

bbe@Romans:11:32 @For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

bbe@Romans:11:33 @O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.

bbe@Romans:12:1 @For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

bbe@Romans:12:3 @But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

bbe@Romans:12:4 @For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

bbe@Romans:12:5 @So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

bbe@Romans:12:6 @And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

bbe@Romans:12:7 @Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

bbe@Romans:12:8 @He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

bbe@Romans:12:9 @Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

bbe@Romans:12:10 @Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;

bbe@Romans:12:16 @Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

bbe@Romans:12:19 @Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Romans:12:20 @But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

bbe@Romans:13:1 @Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

bbe@Romans:13:2 @For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

bbe@Romans:13:4 @For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

bbe@Romans:13:6 @For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

bbe@Romans:13:7 @Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

bbe@Romans:13:8 @Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law.

bbe@Romans:13:10 @Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete.

bbe@Romans:13:11 @See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

bbe@Romans:13:12 @The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

bbe@Romans:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

bbe@Romans:14:1 @Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

bbe@Romans:14:2 @One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

bbe@Romans:14:3 @Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

bbe@Romans:14:4 @Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

bbe@Romans:14:5 @This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

bbe@Romans:14:7 @For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.

bbe@Romans:14:8 @As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

bbe@Romans:14:11 @For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

bbe@Romans:14:12 @So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

bbe@Romans:14:13 @Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

bbe@Romans:14:14 @I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

bbe@Romans:14:15 @And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

bbe@Romans:14:19 @So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.

bbe@Romans:14:20 @Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

bbe@Romans:15:1 @We who are strong have to be a support to the feeble, and not give pleasure to ourselves.

bbe@Romans:15:2 @Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong.

bbe@Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

bbe@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:15:6 @So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:7 @So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:15:8 @Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

bbe@Romans:15:9 @And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

bbe@Romans:15:11 @And again, Give praise to the Lord, all you Gentiles; and let all the nations give praise to him.

bbe@Romans:15:14 @And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

bbe@Romans:15:18 @And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

bbe@Romans:15:19 @By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

bbe@Romans:15:20 @Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

bbe@Romans:15:22 @For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you:

bbe@Romans:15:23 @But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,

bbe@Romans:15:24 @Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--

bbe@Romans:15:26 @For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

bbe@Romans:15:28 @So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

bbe@Romans:16:2 @That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

bbe@Romans:16:4 @Who for my life put their necks in danger; to whom not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are in debt:

bbe@Romans:16:7 @Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

bbe@Romans:16:11 @Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:13 @Give my love to Rufus, one of the Lord's selection, and to his mother and mine.

bbe@Romans:16:14 @Give my love to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.

bbe@Romans:16:16 @Give one another a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their love to you.

bbe@Romans:16:17 @Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

bbe@Romans:16:19 @For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

bbe@Romans:16:20 @And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@Romans:16:21 @Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations

bbe@Romans:16:22 @I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:25 @Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

bbe@Romans:16:26 @But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

bbe@Romans:16:27 @To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:6 @Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:7 @So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:9 @God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:11 @Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:13 @Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:14 @I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:15 @So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:18 @For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:19 @As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:20 @Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:21 @For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:23 @But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:24 @But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:26 @For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:27 @But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:28 @And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:30 @But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:2 @For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:4 @And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:5 @So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:8 @Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:10 @But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:14 @For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:15 @But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:3 @Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:10 @In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it

bbe@1Corinthians:3:12 @But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:15 @If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:17 @If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:20 @And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:21 @So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:2 @And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:5 @For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:6 @My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:9 @For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:10 @We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame

bbe@1Corinthians:4:13 @When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:15 @For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is said, in fact, that there is among you a sin of the flesh, such as is not seen even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:2 @And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:3 @For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:5 @That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:11 @But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:12 @For it is no business of mine to be judging those who are outside; but it is yours to be judging those who are among you;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:13 @As for those who are outside, God is their judge. So put away the evil man from among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:1 @How is it, that if any one of you has a cause at law against another, he takes it before a Gentile judge and not before the saints?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:2 @Is it not certain that the saints will be the judges of the world? if then the world will be judged by you, are you unable to give a decision about the smallest things?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:4 @If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:7 @More than this, it is not to your credit to have causes at law with one another at all. Why not put up with wrong? why not undergo loss?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:8 @So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers' property.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:9 @Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

bbe@1Corinthians:6:10 @Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:17 @But he who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

bbe@1Corinthians:6:20 @For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:5 @Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:6 @But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:7 @It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:9 @But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:12 @But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:13 @And if a woman has a husband who is not a Christian, and it is his desire to go on living with her, let her not go away from her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:15 @But if the one who is not a Christian has a desire to go away, let it be so: the brother or the sister in such a position is not forced to do one thing or the other: but it is God's pleasure that we may be at peace with one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:16 @For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

bbe@1Corinthians:7:17 @Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:18 @If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:20 @Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:24 @My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:26 @In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:28 @If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:33 @But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:35 @Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:36 @But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:37 @But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:39 @It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:40 @But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:2 @If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;

bbe@1Corinthians:8:3 @But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:4 @So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:5 @For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,

bbe@1Corinthians:8:6 @There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:7 @Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:8 @But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:11 @And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:13 @For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:2 @If to others I am not an Apostle, at least I am one to you: for the fact that you are Christians is the sign that I am an Apostle.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:6 @Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:13 @Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:21 @To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:24 @Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:25 @And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:26 @So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:

bbe@1Corinthians:9:27 @But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:8 @Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:10 @And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:13 @You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:17 @Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:22 @Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:23 @We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:24 @Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:27 @If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

bbe@1Corinthians:10:29 @Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:30 @But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:31 @So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:33 @Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:10 @For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:13 @Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:15 @But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:16 @But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:18 @For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:19 @For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:21 @For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:23 @For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

bbe@1Corinthians:11:27 @If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:29 @For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:31 @But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:2 @You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:3 @So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:6 @And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:9 @To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:10 @And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:11 @But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:12 @For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:13 @For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit

bbe@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:19 @And if they were all one part, where would the body be?

bbe@1Corinthians:12:20 @But now they are all different parts, but one body.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:23 @And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:24 @But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:25 @So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:29 @Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?

bbe@1Corinthians:12:30 @Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

bbe@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:6 @It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:8 @Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:9 @For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

bbe@1Corinthians:13:10 @But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:2 @For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:4 @He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:6 @But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:9 @So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:13 @For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:14 @For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:15 @What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:17 @For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge

bbe@1Corinthians:14:18 @I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:19 @But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:22 @For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:23 @If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:25 @The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:27 @If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:28 @But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:30 @But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:32 @And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:34 @Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:35 @And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:36 @What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:39 @So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:40 @Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:1 @Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,

bbe@1Corinthians:15:2 @By which you have salvation; that is to say, the form in which it was given to you, if it is fixed in your minds, and if your faith in it is not without effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:4 @And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:8 @And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:9 @For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:18 @And, in addition, the dead in Christ have gone to destruction.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:19 @If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy

bbe@1Corinthians:15:25 @For his rule will go on till he has put all those who are against him under his feet.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:28 @And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:31 @Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:37 @And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:40 @And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:41 @There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:47 @The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:48 @Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:49 @And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:51 @See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:52 @In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:53 @For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:58 @For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:1 @Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:3 @And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:5 @But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

bbe@1Corinthians:16:6 @But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:7 @For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:11 @See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:14 @Let all you do be done in love.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:16 @That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:17 @And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:20 @All the brothers send their love to you. Give one another a holy kiss.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:8 @For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:10 @Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:11 @You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:12 @For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:13 @For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:15 @And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:16 @And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:22 @And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:1 @But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

bbe@2Corinthians:2:6 @Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:7 @So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:9 @And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:10 @But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:13 @I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:14 @But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:16 @To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:3 @For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:7 @For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:8 @Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:10 @For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after

bbe@2Corinthians:3:13 @And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:1 @For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:2 @And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:3 @But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:4 @Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:8 @Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:15 @For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:17 @For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:18 @While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:4 @For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:6 @So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

bbe@2Corinthians:5:9 @For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:14 @For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:15 @And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:16 @For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:2 @(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

bbe@2Corinthians:6:3 @Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:5 @In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:6 @In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:7 @In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:14 @Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:15 @And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:16 @And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:17 @For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:18 @And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:2 @Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

bbe@2Corinthians:7:4 @My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:7 @And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:8 @For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:12 @So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:15 @And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:16 @It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way

bbe@2Corinthians:8:1 @And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

bbe@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:10 @And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:13 @And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:18 @And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;

bbe@2Corinthians:8:19 @And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:21 @For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:23 @If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:2 @For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:4 @For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:6 @But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:12 @For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:4 @(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

bbe@2Corinthians:10:5 @Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:6 @Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:7 @Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:8 @For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:10 @For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:16 @So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:18 @For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:5 @For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:6 @But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:7 @Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?

bbe@2Corinthians:11:8 @I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:9 @And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:14 @And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:16 @I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:20 @You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:21 @I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:26 @In frequent travels, in dangers on rivers, in dangers from outlaws, in dangers from my countrymen, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the town, in dangers in the waste land, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:28 @In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:1 @As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:2 @I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:3 @And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),

bbe@2Corinthians:12:5 @On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:7 @And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:9 @And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:10 @So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:12 @Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:13 @For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong

bbe@2Corinthians:12:16 @But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

bbe@2Corinthians:12:21 @And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:2 @I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

bbe@2Corinthians:13:3 @Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

bbe@2Corinthians:13:4 @For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:5 @Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

bbe@2Corinthians:13:8 @Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:9 @For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:11 @Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:12 @Give one another a holy kiss.

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

bbe@Galatians:1:7 @Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:8 @But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

bbe@Galatians:1:9 @As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

bbe@Galatians:1:12 @For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:13 @For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

bbe@Galatians:1:14 @And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

bbe@Galatians:1:16 @To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

bbe@Galatians:1:19 @But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

bbe@Galatians:1:22 @And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

bbe@Galatians:1:23 @Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

bbe@Galatians:2:2 @And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

bbe@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:

bbe@Galatians:2:4 @And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

bbe@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

bbe@Galatians:2:7 @But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision

bbe@Galatians:2:8 @(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);

bbe@Galatians:2:9 @When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

bbe@Galatians:2:10 @Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.

bbe@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

bbe@Galatians:2:12 @For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

bbe@Galatians:2:16 @Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:2:18 @For if I put up again those things which I gave to destruction, I am seen to be a wrongdoer.

bbe@Galatians:2:20 @I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

bbe@Galatians:3:1 @O foolish Galatians, by what strange powers have you been tricked, to whom it was made clear that Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross?

bbe@Galatians:3:2 @Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:5 @He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:7 @Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:3:8 @And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

bbe@Galatians:3:10 @For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law

bbe@Galatians:3:13 @Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

bbe@Galatians:3:14 @So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

bbe@Galatians:3:15 @Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

bbe@Galatians:3:16 @Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

bbe@Galatians:3:18 @Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

bbe@Galatians:3:19 @What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

bbe@Galatians:3:20 @Now a go-between is not a go-between of one; but God is one.

bbe@Galatians:3:22 @However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

bbe@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

bbe@Galatians:3:26 @Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:3:27 @For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

bbe@Galatians:3:28 @There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:4:1 @But I say that as long as the son is a child, he is in no way different from a servant, though he is lord of all;

bbe@Galatians:4:4 @But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

bbe@Galatians:4:5 @That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

bbe@Galatians:4:6 @And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

bbe@Galatians:4:7 @So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

bbe@Galatians:4:10 @You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years

bbe@Galatians:4:12 @My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

bbe@Galatians:4:14 @And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

bbe@Galatians:4:16 @So then am I no longer your friend, because I give you true words?

bbe@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

bbe@Galatians:4:22 @Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:4:23 @Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

bbe@Galatians:4:24 @Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

bbe@Galatians:4:26 @But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

bbe@Galatians:4:30 @What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:5:1 @Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

bbe@Galatians:5:2 @See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

bbe@Galatians:5:3 @Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

bbe@Galatians:5:6 @Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

bbe@Galatians:5:7 @You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

bbe@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

bbe@Galatians:5:13 @Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:14 @For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

bbe@Galatians:5:15 @But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

bbe@Galatians:5:17 @For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

bbe@Galatians:5:19 @Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

bbe@Galatians:5:20 @Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

bbe@Galatians:5:21 @Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Galatians:5:23 @Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

bbe@Galatians:5:24 @And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

bbe@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

bbe@Galatians:6:1 @Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

bbe@Galatians:6:2 @Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:6:4 @But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

bbe@Galatians:6:5 @Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

bbe@Galatians:6:12 @Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:6:13 @Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.

bbe@Galatians:6:14 @But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it

bbe@Galatians:6:15 @For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

bbe@Galatians:6:16 @And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

bbe@Galatians:6:17 @From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

bbe@Ephesians:1:4 @Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

bbe@Ephesians:1:5 @As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,

bbe@Ephesians:1:6 @To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

bbe@Ephesians:1:7 @In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

bbe@Ephesians:1:10 @The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

bbe@Ephesians:1:13 @In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

bbe@Ephesians:1:15 @For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:1:17 @That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

bbe@Ephesians:1:21 @Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

bbe@Ephesians:2:1 @And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,

bbe@Ephesians:2:3 @Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

bbe@Ephesians:2:5 @Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

bbe@Ephesians:2:8 @Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

bbe@Ephesians:2:11 @For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

bbe@Ephesians:2:12 @That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

bbe@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:2:14 @For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,

bbe@Ephesians:2:15 @Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

bbe@Ephesians:2:16 @And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

bbe@Ephesians:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:19 @So then you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God,

bbe@Ephesians:2:20 @Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

bbe@Ephesians:3:1 @For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

bbe@Ephesians:3:3 @How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

bbe@Ephesians:3:5 @Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:3:13 @For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

bbe@Ephesians:3:14 @For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

bbe@Ephesians:3:15 @From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

bbe@Ephesians:3:16 @That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

bbe@Ephesians:3:18 @May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

bbe@Ephesians:3:21 @To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Ephesians:4:1 @I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

bbe@Ephesians:4:2 @With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

bbe@Ephesians:4:3 @Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

bbe@Ephesians:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

bbe@Ephesians:4:5 @One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

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

bbe@Ephesians:4:7 @But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:4:8 @For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

bbe@Ephesians:4:13 @Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:14 @So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

bbe@Ephesians:4:17 @This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

bbe@Ephesians:4:19 @Who having no more power of feeling, have given themselves up to evil passions, to do all unclean things with overmuch desire.

bbe@Ephesians:4:22 @That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

bbe@Ephesians:4:24 @And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

bbe@Ephesians:4:25 @And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

bbe@Ephesians:4:26 @Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

bbe@Ephesians:4:27 @And do not give way to the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:4:28 @Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

bbe@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

bbe@Ephesians:4:30 @And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

bbe@Ephesians:4:32 @And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

bbe@Ephesians:5:3 @But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

bbe@Ephesians:5:5 @Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

bbe@Ephesians:5:6 @Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

bbe@Ephesians:5:8 @For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

bbe@Ephesians:5:12 @For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words

bbe@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

bbe@Ephesians:5:17 @For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:5:19 @Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:5:21 @Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:5:27 @And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

bbe@Ephesians:5:31 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

bbe@Ephesians:5:33 @But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

bbe@Ephesians:6:2 @Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward),

bbe@Ephesians:6:3 @So that all may be well for you, and your life may be long on the earth.

bbe@Ephesians:6:6 @Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

bbe@Ephesians:6:8 @In the knowledge that for every good thing anyone does, he will have his reward from the Lord, If he is a servant or if he is free.

bbe@Ephesians:6:9 @And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

bbe@Ephesians:6:10 @Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.

bbe@Ephesians:6:11 @Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:13 @For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.

bbe@Ephesians:6:14 @Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

bbe@Ephesians:6:15 @Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;

bbe@Ephesians:6:16 @And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:17 @And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

bbe@Ephesians:6:18 @With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:6:22 @Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.

bbe@Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

bbe@Philippians:1:10 @So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:13 @So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:14 @And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

bbe@Philippians:1:15 @Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

bbe@Philippians:1:16 @These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

bbe@Philippians:1:17 @But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

bbe@Philippians:1:18 @What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.

bbe@Philippians:1:19 @For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

bbe@Philippians:1:20 @In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

bbe@Philippians:1:22 @But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

bbe@Philippians:1:23 @I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

bbe@Philippians:1:24 @Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

bbe@Philippians:1:25 @And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

bbe@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

bbe@Philippians:1:28 @Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

bbe@Philippians:1:29 @Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

bbe@Philippians:2:2 @Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

bbe@Philippians:2:3 @Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

bbe@Philippians:2:4 @Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

bbe@Philippians:2:6 @To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

bbe@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

bbe@Philippians:2:10 @So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

bbe@Philippians:2:11 @And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

bbe@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

bbe@Philippians:2:15 @So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

bbe@Philippians:2:19 @But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

bbe@Philippians:2:24 @But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

bbe@Philippians:2:27 @For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

bbe@Philippians:2:29 @So take him to your hearts in the Lord with all joy, and give honour to such as he is:

bbe@Philippians:3:2 @Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:

bbe@Philippians:3:3 @For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:

bbe@Philippians:3:4 @Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:

bbe@Philippians:3:5 @Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee:

bbe@Philippians:3:8 @Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

bbe@Philippians:3:12 @Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:13 @Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

bbe@Philippians:3:16 @Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.

bbe@Philippians:3:19 @Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

bbe@Philippians:4:1 @So my brothers, well loved and very dear to me, my joy and crown, be strong in the Lord, my loved ones.

bbe@Philippians:4:8 @For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

bbe@Philippians:4:11 @But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

bbe@Philippians:4:12 @It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

bbe@Philippians:4:15 @And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

bbe@Philippians:4:16 @Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

bbe@Colossians:1:6 @Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

bbe@Colossians:1:13 @Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

bbe@Colossians:1:14 @In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

bbe@Colossians:1:16 @For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

bbe@Colossians:1:20 @Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.

bbe@Colossians:1:21 @And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

bbe@Colossians:1:24 @Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

bbe@Colossians:1:26 @The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,

bbe@Colossians:1:27 @To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

bbe@Colossians:1:29 @And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

bbe@Colossians:2:6 @As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,

bbe@Colossians:2:7 @Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:2:8 @Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

bbe@Colossians:2:11 @In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

bbe@Colossians:2:13 @And you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins;

bbe@Colossians:2:16 @For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:

bbe@Colossians:2:18 @Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,

bbe@Colossians:2:23 @These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use.

bbe@Colossians:3:1 @If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

bbe@Colossians:3:2 @Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

bbe@Colossians:3:3 @For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

bbe@Colossians:3:5 @Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

bbe@Colossians:3:6 @Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

bbe@Colossians:3:7 @Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

bbe@Colossians:3:8 @But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

bbe@Colossians:3:9 @Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

bbe@Colossians:3:10 @And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

bbe@Colossians:3:11 @Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

bbe@Colossians:3:12 @As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

bbe@Colossians:3:13 @Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

bbe@Colossians:3:14 @And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

bbe@Colossians:3:15 @And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

bbe@Colossians:3:21 @Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

bbe@Colossians:3:22 @Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

bbe@Colossians:3:25 @For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

bbe@Colossians:4:1 @Masters, give your servants what is right and equal, conscious that you have a Master in heaven.

bbe@Colossians:4:6 @Let your talk be with grace, mixed with salt, so that you may be able to give an answer to everyone.

bbe@Colossians:4:9 @And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

bbe@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

bbe@Colossians:4:11 @And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

bbe@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.

bbe@Colossians:4:13 @For I give witness of him that he has undergone much trouble for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.

bbe@Colossians:4:16 @And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

bbe@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:3 @Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:4 @Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:5 @Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:8 @For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:10 @Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:1 @For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:2 @But after we had first undergone much pain and been cruelly attacked as you saw, at Philippi, by the help of God we gave you the good news without fear, though everything was against us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our witness does not come from error or from an unclean heart or from deceit:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:7 @But we were gentle among you, like a woman caring for her little ones:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:8 @Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:11 @Even as you saw how, like a father with his children, we were teaching and comforting you all, and giving witness,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:12 @So that your lives might be pleasing to God, who has given you a part in his kingdom and his glory.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

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

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:1 @At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:7 @For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:8 @For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:9 @For how great is the praise which we give to God for you, and how great the joy with which we are glad because of you before our God;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:10 @Night and day requesting God again and again that we may see your face and make your faith complete

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:12 @And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:13 @So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:2 @Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:3 @For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:4 @So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:5 @Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:7 @Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:8 @Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:9 @But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:11 @And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:12 @That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:15 @For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:18 @So then, give comfort to one another with these words.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:1 @But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:4 @But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:

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

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:6 @So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:7 @For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:9 @For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:10 @Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:12 @But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:13 @And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:14 @And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:15 @Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:16 @Have joy at all times.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:17 @Keep on with your prayers.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:18 @In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:19 @Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:21 @Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:22 @Keep from every form of evil.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:23 @And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:25 @Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:26 @Give all the brothers a holy kiss.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

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

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

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:4 @So that we ourselves take pride in you in the churches of God for your untroubled mind and your faith in all the troubles and sorrows which you are going through;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @Which is a clear sign of the decision which God in his righteousness has made; to give you a part in his kingdom, for which you have undergone this pain;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:6 @For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:8 @To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:9 @Whose reward will be eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @For this reason, you are ever in our prayers, that you may seem to our God such as may have a part in his purpose and that by his power he will make all his good purpose, and the work of faith, complete;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:7 @For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:9 @Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:11 @And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:12 @So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:15 @So then, brothers, be strong in purpose, and keep the teaching which has been given to you by word or by letter from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:16 @Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:17 @Give you comfort and strength in every good work and word.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:4 @And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:5 @And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:7 @For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:8 @And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:10 @For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:12 @Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:13 @And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:15 @Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bbe@1Timothy:1:3 @It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:4 @Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:8 @We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

bbe@1Timothy:1:9 @With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

bbe@1Timothy:1:10 @For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:13 @Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

bbe@1Timothy:1:16 @But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

bbe@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, ever-living, unseen, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:1:18 @This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the good fight,

bbe@1Timothy:1:19 @Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

bbe@1Timothy:2:4 @Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

bbe@1Timothy:2:12 @In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.

bbe@1Timothy:2:14 @And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

bbe@1Timothy:2:15 @But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

bbe@1Timothy:3:1 @This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work.

bbe@1Timothy:3:2 @The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

bbe@1Timothy:3:3 @Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money;

bbe@1Timothy:3:4 @Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;

bbe@1Timothy:3:6 @Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:7 @And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

bbe@1Timothy:3:10 @And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them

bbe@1Timothy:3:11 @Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

bbe@1Timothy:3:12 @Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well.

bbe@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long;

bbe@1Timothy:3:15 @But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:3:16 @And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

bbe@1Timothy:4:2 @Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

bbe@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:

bbe@1Timothy:4:8 @For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

bbe@1Timothy:4:12 @Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

bbe@1Timothy:4:13 @Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:4:14 @Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.

bbe@1Timothy:4:16 @Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

bbe@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

bbe@1Timothy:5:3 @Give honour to widows who are truly widows.

bbe@1Timothy:5:7 @Give orders to this effect, so that no evil may be said of anyone.

bbe@1Timothy:5:8 @If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

bbe@1Timothy:5:9 @Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,

bbe@1Timothy:5:13 @And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.

bbe@1Timothy:5:14 @So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,

bbe@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

bbe@1Timothy:5:17 @Let rulers whose rule is good be honoured twice over, specially those whose work is preaching and teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

bbe@1Timothy:5:21 @I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

bbe@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

bbe@1Timothy:5:23 @Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

bbe@1Timothy:6:1 @Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:6:3 @If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

bbe@1Timothy:6:4 @He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

bbe@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

bbe@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

bbe@1Timothy:6:11 @But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

bbe@1Timothy:6:13 @I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

bbe@1Timothy:6:14 @To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Timothy:6:15 @Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

bbe@1Timothy:6:16 @Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:6:17 @Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

bbe@1Timothy:6:18 @And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

bbe@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

bbe@2Timothy:1:6 @For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

bbe@2Timothy:1:7 @For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

bbe@2Timothy:1:8 @Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

bbe@2Timothy:1:9 @Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

bbe@2Timothy:1:10 @But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

bbe@2Timothy:1:15 @You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:

bbe@2Timothy:1:16 @May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

bbe@2Timothy:2:1 @So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:2:3 @Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:2:5 @And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.

bbe@2Timothy:2:9 @In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

bbe@2Timothy:2:10 @But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

bbe@2Timothy:2:12 @If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

bbe@2Timothy:2:14 @Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

bbe@2Timothy:2:16 @But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,

bbe@2Timothy:2:17 @And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

bbe@2Timothy:2:19 @But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

bbe@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.

bbe@2Timothy:2:21 @If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

bbe@2Timothy:2:22 @But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

bbe@2Timothy:2:23 @And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.

bbe@2Timothy:2:24 @For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,

bbe@2Timothy:2:26 @And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.

bbe@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

bbe@2Timothy:3:3 @Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

bbe@2Timothy:3:5 @Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

bbe@2Timothy:3:6 @For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

bbe@2Timothy:3:10 @But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;

bbe@2Timothy:3:11 @My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all.

bbe@2Timothy:3:14 @But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

bbe@2Timothy:3:15 @And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:3:16 @Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

bbe@2Timothy:4:1 @I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

bbe@2Timothy:4:2 @Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

bbe@2Timothy:4:5 @But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

bbe@2Timothy:4:8 @From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

bbe@2Timothy:4:9 @Do your best to come to me before long:

bbe@2Timothy:4:10 @For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia

bbe@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

bbe@2Timothy:4:15 @But be on the watch for him, for he was violent in his attacks on our teaching.

bbe@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

bbe@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

bbe@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@2Timothy:4:19 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.

bbe@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

bbe@Titus:1:4 @To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

bbe@Titus:1:6 @Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

bbe@Titus:1:8 @But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

bbe@Titus:1:10 @For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

bbe@Titus:1:11 @By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

bbe@Titus:1:12 @One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

bbe@Titus:1:14 @Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

bbe@Titus:1:16 @They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

bbe@Titus:2:8 @Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.

bbe@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

bbe@Titus:2:13 @Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

bbe@Titus:2:14 @Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

bbe@Titus:2:15 @On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

bbe@Titus:3:3 @For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

bbe@Titus:3:5 @Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Titus:3:8 @This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

bbe@Titus:3:9 @But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

bbe@Titus:3:10 @A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

bbe@Titus:3:13 @Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

bbe@Titus:3:14 @And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.

bbe@Philemon:1:1 @Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,

bbe@Philemon:1:2 @And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:

bbe@Philemon:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:4 @I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,

bbe@Philemon:1:5 @Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;

bbe@Philemon:1:6 @That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:7 @For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

bbe@Philemon:1:8 @And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

bbe@Philemon:1:9 @Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

bbe@Philemon:1:10 @My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,

bbe@Philemon:1:11 @Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:

bbe@Philemon:1:12 @Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:

bbe@Philemon:1:13 @Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

bbe@Philemon:1:14 @But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.

bbe@Philemon:1:15 @For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

bbe@Philemon:1:16 @No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.

bbe@Philemon:1:17 @If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.

bbe@Philemon:1:18 @If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.

bbe@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

bbe@Philemon:1:20 @So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:21 @Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.

bbe@Philemon:1:22 @And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.

bbe@Philemon:1:23 @Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;

bbe@Philemon:1:24 @And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.

bbe@Philemon:1:25 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.

bbe@Hebrews:1:2 @But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

bbe@Hebrews:1:5 @To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

bbe@Hebrews:1:6 @And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

bbe@Hebrews:1:8 @But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:1:9 @You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

bbe@Hebrews:1:10 @You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:1:14 @Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

bbe@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

bbe@Hebrews:2:3 @What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

bbe@Hebrews:2:4 @And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

bbe@Hebrews:2:6 @But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

bbe@Hebrews:2:7 @You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:2:9 @But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

bbe@Hebrews:2:10 @Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

bbe@Hebrews:2:11 @For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

bbe@Hebrews:2:12 @Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

bbe@Hebrews:2:14 @And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

bbe@Hebrews:2:16 @For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

bbe@Hebrews:3:1 @For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

bbe@Hebrews:3:3 @And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

bbe@Hebrews:3:6 @But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

bbe@Hebrews:3:8 @Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

bbe@Hebrews:3:10 @So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

bbe@Hebrews:3:12 @My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

bbe@Hebrews:3:13 @But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

bbe@Hebrews:4:3 @For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

bbe@Hebrews:4:4 @For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

bbe@Hebrews:4:7 @After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

bbe@Hebrews:4:11 @Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

bbe@Hebrews:4:14 @Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

bbe@Hebrews:4:15 @For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

bbe@Hebrews:5:1 @Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

bbe@Hebrews:5:4 @And no man who is not given authority by God, as Aaron was, takes this honour for himself.

bbe@Hebrews:5:5 @In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

bbe@Hebrews:5:7 @Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

bbe@Hebrews:5:8 @And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:9 @And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:12 @And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food

bbe@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.

bbe@Hebrews:6:1 @For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

bbe@Hebrews:6:2 @The teaching of baptisms, and of the putting on of hands, and of the future life of the dead, and of the judging on the last day.

bbe@Hebrews:6:4 @As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Hebrews:6:6 @And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

bbe@Hebrews:6:8 @But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

bbe@Hebrews:6:9 @But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;

bbe@Hebrews:6:12 @So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

bbe@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

bbe@Hebrews:6:16 @For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

bbe@Hebrews:6:18 @So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

bbe@Hebrews:6:19 @And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

bbe@Hebrews:6:20 @Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:2 @And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

bbe@Hebrews:7:3 @Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:7:5 @And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

bbe@Hebrews:7:8 @Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

bbe@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

bbe@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

bbe@Hebrews:7:16 @That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

bbe@Hebrews:7:18 @So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

bbe@Hebrews:7:21 @(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

bbe@Hebrews:7:23 @And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

bbe@Hebrews:7:24 @But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

bbe@Hebrews:7:26 @It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

bbe@Hebrews:7:27 @Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:7:28 @The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

bbe@Hebrews:8:4 @If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

bbe@Hebrews:8:6 @But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

bbe@Hebrews:8:7 @For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

bbe@Hebrews:8:12 @And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

bbe@Hebrews:8:13 @When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

bbe@Hebrews:9:3 @And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

bbe@Hebrews:9:4 @Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

bbe@Hebrews:9:5 @And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

bbe@Hebrews:9:7 @But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

bbe@Hebrews:9:10 @Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

bbe@Hebrews:9:12 @And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.

bbe@Hebrews:9:13 @For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:

bbe@Hebrews:9:19 @For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

bbe@Hebrews:9:21 @And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

bbe@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

bbe@Hebrews:9:26 @For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:9:27 @And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

bbe@Hebrews:9:28 @So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

bbe@Hebrews:10:1 @For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

bbe@Hebrews:10:2 @For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

bbe@Hebrews:10:10 @By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:12 @But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

bbe@Hebrews:10:14 @Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.

bbe@Hebrews:10:23 @Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

bbe@Hebrews:10:24 @And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

bbe@Hebrews:10:25 @Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

bbe@Hebrews:10:26 @For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

bbe@Hebrews:10:27 @But only a great fear of being judged, and of the fire of wrath which will be the destruction of the haters of God.

bbe@Hebrews:10:28 @A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses:

bbe@Hebrews:10:29 @But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

bbe@Hebrews:10:33 @In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

bbe@Hebrews:10:34 @For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:36 @For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you.

bbe@Hebrews:10:39 @But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.

bbe@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

bbe@Hebrews:11:5 @By faith Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God:

bbe@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

bbe@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

bbe@Hebrews:11:10 @For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God.

bbe@Hebrews:11:12 @So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.

bbe@Hebrews:11:16 @But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

bbe@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

bbe@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick.

bbe@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones.

bbe@Hebrews:11:23 @By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

bbe@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen.

bbe@Hebrews:11:28 @By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death.

bbe@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land.

bbe@Hebrews:11:32 @What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

bbe@Hebrews:11:33 @Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

bbe@Hebrews:11:34 @Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.

bbe@Hebrews:11:36 @And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons:

bbe@Hebrews:11:37 @They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked,

bbe@Hebrews:11:39 @And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

bbe@Hebrews:12:1 @For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

bbe@Hebrews:12:2 @Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

bbe@Hebrews:12:3 @Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

bbe@Hebrews:12:5 @And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

bbe@Hebrews:12:6 @For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

bbe@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

bbe@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

bbe@Hebrews:12:12 @For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,

bbe@Hebrews:12:13 @And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong

bbe@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

bbe@Hebrews:12:17 @For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.

bbe@Hebrews:12:20 @For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them;

bbe@Hebrews:12:21 @And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.

bbe@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

bbe@Hebrews:12:25 @See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

bbe@Hebrews:12:26 @Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven.

bbe@Hebrews:12:27 @And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

bbe@Hebrews:13:1 @Go on loving your brothers in the faith.

bbe@Hebrews:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:4 @Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

bbe@Hebrews:13:5 @Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

bbe@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

bbe@Hebrews:13:12 @For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

bbe@Hebrews:13:13 @Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

bbe@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

bbe@Hebrews:13:16 @But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:13:19 @I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.

bbe@Hebrews:13:22 @But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

bbe@Hebrews:13:23 @Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

bbe@James:1:3 @Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

bbe@James:1:5 @But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

bbe@James:1:8 @For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.

bbe@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

bbe@James:1:11 @For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

bbe@James:1:12 @There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

bbe@James:1:14 @But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

bbe@James:1:21 @For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

bbe@James:1:22 @But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

bbe@James:1:25 @But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

bbe@James:1:26 @If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

bbe@James:1:27 @The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

bbe@James:2:1 @My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

bbe@James:2:3 @And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;

bbe@James:2:4 @Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?

bbe@James:2:9 @But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

bbe@James:2:10 @For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

bbe@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

bbe@James:2:16 @And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

bbe@James:2:19 @You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear.

bbe@James:2:21 @Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

bbe@James:2:24 @You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

bbe@James:3:2 @For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

bbe@James:3:3 @Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.

bbe@James:3:5 @Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

bbe@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

bbe@James:3:7 @For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

bbe@James:3:8 @But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

bbe@James:3:9 @With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

bbe@James:3:13 @Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

bbe@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

bbe@James:4:1 @What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

bbe@James:4:3 @You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

bbe@James:4:5 @Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

bbe@James:4:7 @For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

bbe@James:4:11 @Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

bbe@James:4:12 @There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

bbe@James:4:14 @When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

bbe@James:4:16 @But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.

bbe@James:5:4 @See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.

bbe@James:5:5 @You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

bbe@James:5:6 @You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.

bbe@James:5:7 @Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

bbe@James:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

bbe@James:5:9 @Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

bbe@James:5:10 @Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:11 @We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

bbe@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

bbe@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:15 @And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

bbe@James:5:16 @So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

bbe@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

bbe@James:5:19 @My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

bbe@1Peter:1:1 @Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

bbe@1Peter:1:5 @Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

bbe@1Peter:1:7 @So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:9 @For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

bbe@1Peter:1:10 @For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

bbe@1Peter:1:13 @So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Peter:1:17 @And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

bbe@1Peter:1:18 @Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

bbe@1Peter:1:22 @And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

bbe@1Peter:2:1 @So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,

bbe@1Peter:2:2 @Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;

bbe@1Peter:2:4 @To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

bbe@1Peter:2:5 @You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:2:7 @And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;

bbe@1Peter:2:8 @And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:2:9 @But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

bbe@1Peter:2:11 @My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

bbe@1Peter:2:12 @Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

bbe@1Peter:2:16 @As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

bbe@1Peter:2:17 @Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king.

bbe@1Peter:2:18 @Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.

bbe@1Peter:2:19 @For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.

bbe@1Peter:2:20 @What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

bbe@1Peter:2:24 @He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

bbe@1Peter:2:25 @Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

bbe@1Peter:3:1 @Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

bbe@1Peter:3:3 @Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

bbe@1Peter:3:7 @And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer.

bbe@1Peter:3:8 @Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

bbe@1Peter:3:10 @For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

bbe@1Peter:3:12 @For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

bbe@1Peter:3:13 @Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?

bbe@1Peter:3:15 @But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

bbe@1Peter:3:16 @Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:3:18 @Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

bbe@1Peter:3:19 @By whom he went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those

bbe@1Peter:3:20 @Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

bbe@1Peter:3:21 @And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;

bbe@1Peter:3:22 @Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

bbe@1Peter:4:3 @Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

bbe@1Peter:4:4 @And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:

bbe@1Peter:4:6 @For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

bbe@1Peter:4:7 @But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

bbe@1Peter:4:8 @And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

bbe@1Peter:4:10 @Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;

bbe@1Peter:4:11 @If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glory and the power for ever.

bbe@1Peter:4:13 @But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

bbe@1Peter:4:14 @If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

bbe@1Peter:4:15 @Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

bbe@1Peter:4:18 @And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

bbe@1Peter:4:19 @For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.

bbe@1Peter:5:1 @I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

bbe@1Peter:5:5 @And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

bbe@1Peter:5:6 @For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

bbe@1Peter:5:7 @Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.

bbe@1Peter:5:8 @Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

bbe@1Peter:5:9 @Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

bbe@1Peter:5:10 @And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

bbe@1Peter:5:12 @I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it

bbe@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, who has a part with you in the purpose of God, sends you her love; and so does my son Mark.

bbe@1Peter:5:14 @Give one another the kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Peter:1:4 @And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

bbe@2Peter:1:6 @And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,

bbe@2Peter:1:9 @For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

bbe@2Peter:1:10 @For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall:

bbe@2Peter:1:12 @For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.

bbe@2Peter:1:13 @And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

bbe@2Peter:1:14 @For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

bbe@2Peter:1:16 @For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

bbe@2Peter:1:17 @For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@2Peter:1:18 @And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

bbe@2Peter:1:19 @And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

bbe@2Peter:1:20 @Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.

bbe@2Peter:2:1 @But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:3 @And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

bbe@2Peter:2:5 @And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;

bbe@2Peter:2:6 @And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him;

bbe@2Peter:2:8 @(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

bbe@2Peter:2:10 @But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

bbe@2Peter:2:12 @But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

bbe@2Peter:2:13 @For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

bbe@2Peter:2:15 @Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

bbe@2Peter:2:16 @But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.

bbe@2Peter:2:18 @For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

bbe@2Peter:2:19 @Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

bbe@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

bbe@2Peter:2:22 @They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.

bbe@2Peter:3:1 @My loved ones, this is now my second letter to you, and in this as in the first, I am attempting to keep your true minds awake;

bbe@2Peter:3:4 @Saying, Where is the hope of his coming? From the death of the fathers till now everything has gone on as it was from the making of the world.

bbe@2Peter:3:7 @But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men.

bbe@2Peter:3:8 @But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

bbe@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

bbe@2Peter:3:11 @Seeing then that all these things are coming to such an end, what sort of persons is it right for you to be, in all holy behaviour and righteousness,

bbe@2Peter:3:14 @For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

bbe@2Peter:3:15 @And be certain that the long waiting of the Lord is for salvation; even as our brother Paul has said in his letters to you, from the wisdom which was given to him;

bbe@2Peter:3:16 @And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.

bbe@2Peter:3:17 @For this reason, my loved ones, having knowledge of these things before they take place, take care that you are not turned away by the error of the uncontrolled, so falling from your true faith.

bbe@1John:1:1 @That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

bbe@1John:1:3 @We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

bbe@1John:1:7 @But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

bbe@1John:1:9 @If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

bbe@1John:2:1 @My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:

bbe@1John:2:2 @He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

bbe@1John:2:7 @My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

bbe@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

bbe@1John:2:14 @I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

bbe@1John:2:20 @And you have the Spirit from the Holy One and you all have knowledge.

bbe@1John:2:21 @I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

bbe@1John:2:22 @Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.

bbe@1John:2:23 @He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father.

bbe@1John:2:24 @But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son.

bbe@1John:2:28 @And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.

bbe@1John:2:29 @If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

bbe@1John:3:1 @See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

bbe@1John:3:2 @My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

bbe@1John:3:3 @And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.

bbe@1John:3:4 @Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

bbe@1John:3:6 @Anyone who is in him does no sin; anyone who is a sinner has not seen him and has no knowledge of him.

bbe@1John:3:8 @The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

bbe@1John:3:9 @Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

bbe@1John:3:10 @In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God

bbe@1John:3:11 @Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;

bbe@1John:3:12 @Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

bbe@1John:3:14 @We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

bbe@1John:3:15 @Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

bbe@1John:3:18 @My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.

bbe@1John:3:20 @When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.

bbe@1John:3:21 @My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him;

bbe@1John:3:23 @And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

bbe@1John:4:1 @My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

bbe@1John:4:7 @My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

bbe@1John:4:9 @And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

bbe@1John:4:10 @And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins

bbe@1John:4:11 @My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

bbe@1John:4:12 @No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

bbe@1John:4:14 @And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

bbe@1John:4:15 @Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

bbe@1John:4:16 @And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

bbe@1John:4:17 @In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.

bbe@1John:5:1 @Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

bbe@1John:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:6 @This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

bbe@1John:5:9 @If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:10 @He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:11 @And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

bbe@1John:5:12 @He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life

bbe@1John:5:13 @I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

bbe@1John:5:18 @We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

bbe@1John:5:19 @We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

bbe@1John:5:20 @And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

bbe@2John:1:1 @I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;

bbe@2John:1:3 @May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

bbe@2John:1:5 @And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.

bbe@2John:1:7 @Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

bbe@2John:1:9 @Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son.

bbe@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:

bbe@2John:1:13 @The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.

bbe@3John:1:2 @My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

bbe@3John:1:5 @My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

bbe@3John:1:6 @Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

bbe@3John:1:9 @I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.

bbe@3John:1:11 @My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

bbe@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:

bbe@Jude:1:3 @My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:4 @For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:5 @Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

bbe@Jude:1:7 @Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

bbe@Jude:1:9 @Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.

bbe@Jude:1:10 @But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.

bbe@Jude:1:11 @A curse on them! They have gone in the way of Cain, running uncontrolled into the error of Balaam for reward, and have come to destruction by saying evil against the Lord, like Korah.

bbe@Jude:1:15 @To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.

bbe@Jude:1:16 @These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

bbe@Jude:1:17 @But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Jude:1:19 @These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.

bbe@Jude:1:20 @But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Jude:1:22 @And have pity on those who are in doubt;

bbe@Jude:1:23 @And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

bbe@Jude:1:25 @To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:1 @The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
