Romans:1:4 @ and who according to the spirit of holiness was declared to be the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord.
isv@Romans:1:7 @ To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be holy. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
isv@Romans:1:8 @ First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the news about your faith is being reported throughout the world.
isv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
isv@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
isv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.
isv@Romans:2:3 @ So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
isv@Romans:2:5 @ But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
isv@Romans:2:17 @ Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast about God,
isv@Romans:2:21 @ as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal?
isv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is valuable if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
isv@Romans:3:4 @ Of course not! God is true, even if everyone else is a liar. As it is written, “You are right when you speak,and win your case when you go into court.”
isv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to confirm God's righteousness, what can we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his wrath on us, is he? (I am talking in human terms.)
isv@Romans:3:6 @ Of course not! Otherwise, how could God judge the world?
isv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we, then, abolish the law by this faith? Of course not! Instead, we uphold the law.
isv@Romans:4:1 @ What, then, are we to say about Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh?
isv@Romans:4:12 @ He is also the ancestor of the circumcised—those who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
isv@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us. Our faith will be regarded in the same way, if we believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
isv@Romans:4:25 @ He was handed over to death because of our sins and was raised to life because of our justification.
isv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing God's glory.
isv@Romans:5:3 @ Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
isv@Romans:5:5 @ Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
isv@Romans:5:11 @ Not only that, but we also continue to boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.
isv@Romans:5:21 @ so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
isv@Romans:6:2 @ Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?
isv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.
isv@Romans:6:11 @ In the same way, you too must continually consider yourselves dead as far as sin is concerned, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
isv@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore, do not let sin rule your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires.
isv@Romans:6:13 @ Stop offering the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life and the parts of your body as instruments of righteousness to God.
isv@Romans:6:15 @ What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!
isv@Romans:6:16 @ Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
isv@Romans:6:17 @ But thank God that, though you were once slaves of sin, you became obedient from your hearts to that form of teaching with which you were entrusted!
isv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms because of the frailty of your flesh. Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater disobedience, so now, in the same way, you must offer the parts of your body as slaves to righteousness that leads to sanctification.
isv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord.
isv@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were living in the flesh, sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies to bear fruit for death.
isv@Romans:7:7 @ What should we say, then? Is the law sinful? Of course not! In fact, I wouldn't have known sin if it had not been for the law. For I wouldn't have known what it means to covet if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
isv@Romans:7:13 @ Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the commandment sin might become more sinful than ever.
isv@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
isv@Romans:8:6 @ To set our minds on the flesh leads to death, but to set our minds on the Spirit leads to life and peace.
isv@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
isv@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
isv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
isv@Romans:8:23 @ However, not only creation groans, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
isv@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,
isv@Romans:8:27 @ and the one who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.
isv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all day long.We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.”
isv@Romans:8:39 @ nor anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
isv@Romans:9:10 @ Not only that, but Rebecca became pregnant by our ancestor Isaac.
isv@Romans:9:14 @ What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not!
isv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),
isv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? “The message is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the message of faith that we proclaim:
isv@Romans:10:9 @ If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
isv@Romans:10:16 @ But not everyone has obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah asks, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
isv@Romans:11:1 @ So I ask, “God has not rejected his people, has he?” Of course not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham from the tribe of Benjamin.
isv@Romans:11:3 @ “Lord, they have killed your prophets and demolished your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life.”
isv@Romans:11:11 @ And so I ask, “They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?” Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make the Jews jealous.
isv@Romans:11:28 @ As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake, but as far as election is concerned, they are loved because of their ancestors.
isv@Romans:12:1 @ I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship.
isv@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.
isv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
isv@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.
isv@Romans:12:7 @ If your gift is serving, devote yourself to serving others. If it is teaching, devote yourself to teaching others.
isv@Romans:12:8 @ If it is encouraging, devote yourself to encouraging others. If it is sharing, share generously. If it is leading, lead enthusiastically. If it is helping, help cheerfully.
isv@Romans:12:9 @ Your love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
isv@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.
isv@Romans:12:20 @ But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him. For if he is thirsty, give him a drink. If you do this, you will pile burning coals on his head.”
isv@Romans:13:4 @ For they are God's servants working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for it is not without reason that they bear the sword. Indeed, they are God's servants to execute wrath on anyone who does wrong.
isv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only because of God's wrath but also because of your own conscience.
isv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, “You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet,” and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
isv@Romans:13:11 @ This is necessary because you know the times—that it's time for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we became believers.
isv@Romans:13:14 @ Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.
isv@Romans:14:10 @ Why, then, do you criticize your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For all of us will stand before the judgment seat of God.
isv@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore, let us no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
isv@Romans:14:15 @ For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom Christ died by what you eat.
isv@Romans:14:16 @ Do not allow your good to be spoken of as evil.
isv@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing to do is to avoid eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that makes your brother stumble or become upset or weak.
isv@Romans:14:22 @ As for the faith you do have, have it as your own conviction before God. How blessed is the person who has no reason to condemn himself because of what he approves!
isv@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to be patient with the weaknesses of those who are not strong and must stop pleasing ourselves.
isv@Romans:15:2 @ Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building him up.
isv@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written long ago was written for our instruction, so that we might have hope through the endurance and encouragement that the Scriptures give us.
isv@Romans:15:5 @ Now may God, the source of endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other as you follow Christ Jesus,
isv@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order to confirm the promises given to our forefathers,
isv@Romans:15:9 @ so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “That is why I will praise you among the Gentiles;I will sing praises to your name.”
isv@Romans:15:13 @ Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
isv@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are filled with goodness and full of all the knowledge you need to be able to instruct each other.
isv@Romans:15:24 @ Now that I am on my way to Spain, I hope to see you when I come your way and, after I have enjoyed your company for a while, to be sent on by you.
isv@Romans:15:26 @ For the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have been eager to share their resources with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
isv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit produces, to join me in my struggle, earnestly praying to God for me
isv@Romans:16:1 @ Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant in the church at Cenchreae.
isv@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urbanus, our fellow in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.
isv@Romans:16:18 @ For such people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
isv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to everyone, and I am full of joy for you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
isv@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
isv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, who is host to me and the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you.
isv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ From Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and from our brother Sosthenes,
isv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who continually call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours.
isv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
isv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ In this way, our testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you.
isv@1Corinthians:1:7 @ Therefore, you don't lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
isv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
isv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Brothers, I urge all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions.
isv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God decided through the nonsense of our preaching to save those who believe.
isv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
isv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in union with Christ Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
isv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.
isv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ Instead, we speak about God's secret wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the world began.
isv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ It is a very small thing to me that I should be examined by you or by any human court. In fact, I don't even examine myself.
isv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore, stop judging before the proper time, before the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the motives of our hearts. Then each person will receive his praise from God.
isv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Brothers, I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will stop boasting about one person at the expense of another.
isv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To this very hour we are hungry, thirsty, dressed in rags, brutally treated, and homeless.
isv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ We wear ourselves out from working with our own hands. When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure.
isv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ You may have 10,000 guardians in Christ, but not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
isv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus and my spirit and the power of our Lord Jesus are present,
isv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?
isv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
isv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Instead, one brother goes to court against another brother, and before unbelievers at that!
isv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ The very fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
isv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you yourselves practice doing wrong and cheating others, and brothers at that!
isv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
isv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
isv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ You know that your bodies are parts of Christ, don't you? Should I take the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? Certainly not!
isv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don't you? You do not belong to yourselves,
isv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ because you were bought for a price. Therefore, glorify God with your bodies.
isv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not withhold yourselves from each other unless you agree to do so for a set time in order to devote yourselves to prayer. Then you should come together again so that Satan does not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
isv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified because of her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
isv@1Corinthians:7:16 @ Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?
isv@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that bother you. Of course, if you have a chance to become free, take advantage of the opportunity.
isv@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing,
isv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.
isv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But you must see to it that this right of yours does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
isv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, he will be encouraged to eat what has been offered to idols, won't he?
isv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ In that case, the weak brother for whom Christ died is destroyed by your knowledge.
isv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.
isv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ I am free, am I not? I am an apostle, am I not? I have seen Jesus our Lord, haven't I? You are my work in the Lord, aren't you?
isv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Isn't he really speaking on our behalf? Yes, this was written on our behalf, because the one who plows should plow in hope, and the one who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
isv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the fact that all of our ancestors were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea,
isv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things became examples for us so that we won't set our hearts on evil as they did.
isv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.
isv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I am talking to sensible people. Decide for yourselves what I am saying.
isv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing that we bless is a sign of our sharing in the blood of Christ, isn't it? The bread that we break is a sign of our sharing in the body of Christ, isn't it?
isv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean, of course, his conscience, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?
isv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Decide for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
isv@1Corinthians:11:19 @ Of course, there must be factions among you to show which of you are genuine!
isv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.
isv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive.
isv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ However, our attractive parts don't need this. But God has put the body together and has given special honor to the parts that lack it,
isv@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But the person who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding, encouragement, and comfort.
isv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ In the same way, unless you speak an intelligible message with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? You'll be talking into the air!
isv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you say a blessing with your spirit, how can an otherwise uneducated person say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you're saying?
isv@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brothers, stop being children in your thinking. In evil be infants, but in thinking be adults.
isv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Now if the whole church gathers in the same place and everyone is speaking in tongues, when uneducated people or unbelievers come in, they will say that you are out of your mind, won't they?
isv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For everyone can prophesy in turn, so that everyone can be instructed and everyone can be encouraged.
isv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I'm making known to you, brothers, the gospel that I proclaimed to you, which you accepted, on which you have taken your stand,
isv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ and by which you are also being saved if you hold firmly to the message I proclaimed to you—unless, of course, your faith was worthless.
isv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I passed on to you the most important points of what I received: Christ died for our sins in keeping with the Scriptures,
isv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace shown to me was not wasted. Instead, I worked harder than all the others—not I, of course, but God's grace that was with me.
isv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ and if Christ has not been raised, then our message means nothing and your faith means nothing.
isv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless and you are still in your sins.
isv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If we have set our hopes on Christ in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.
isv@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why in fact are we being endangered every hour?
isv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I face death every day! That is as certain, brothers, as it is that I am proud of you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
isv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come back to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! For some of you—I say this to your shame—are without a true knowledge of God.
isv@1Corinthians:15:55 @ “Where, O death, is your victory?Where, O death, is your sting?”
isv@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
isv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that your work isn't wasted in the Lord.
isv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside and save some of your money in proportion to what you have, so that no collections will have to be made when I come.
isv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ When I arrive, I will send with letters the men you approve to take your gift to Jerusalem.
isv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not inclined to go just now. However, he will come when the time is right.
isv@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Remain alert. Keep standing firm in your faith. Keep on being courageous and strong.
isv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ to submit yourselves to people like these and to anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.
isv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They refreshed my spirit—and yours, too. Therefore, appreciate men like that.
isv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If anyone doesn't love the Lord, let him be condemned! May our Lord come!
isv@2Corinthians:1:1 @ From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy people throughout Achaia.
isv@2Corinthians:1:2 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
isv@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,
isv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our suffering, so that we may be able to comfort others in all their suffering, since we ourselves are being comforted by God.
isv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as Christ's sufferings overflow to us, so our comfort overflows through Christ.
isv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we suffer, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are suffering.
isv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope for you is unshaken, because we know that as you share our sufferings, you also share our comfort.
isv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the suffering we experienced in Asia. We were so crushed beyond our ability to endure that we even despaired of living.
isv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ In fact, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death, so that we would not rely on ourselves but on the God who raises the dead.
isv@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He has rescued us from a terrible death, and he will continue to rescue us. Yes, the one on whom we have set our hope will rescue us again,
isv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ as you also help us by your prayers on our behalf. Then prayers of thanksgiving will be uttered by many people on our behalf because of the favor shown us through the prayers of many.
isv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is what we boast about: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with pure motives and godly sincerity, without earthly wisdom but with God's grace—and especially towards you.
isv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ just as you have already understood us partially, so that on the day of our Lord Jesus we can be your reason to boast, even as you are ours.
isv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As certainly as God is faithful, our word to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
isv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ who has placed his seal on us and has given us the Spirit in our hearts as a down payment.
isv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ It is not that we are trying to lord it over your faith. On the contrary, we are workers with you to promote your joy, because you have been standing firm in the faith.
isv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ That's why I'm urging you to assure him of your love.
isv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ When you forgive someone, I do, too. Indeed, what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I did in the presence of Christ for your benefit,
isv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to recommend ourselves again? Unlike some people, we do not need letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we?
isv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our letter, written in our hearts and known and read by everyone.
isv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ You are demonstrating that you are Christ's letter, produced by our service, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
isv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ By ourselves we are not qualified to claim that anything comes from us. Rather, our credentials come from God,
isv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown to us, we do not get discouraged.
isv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not use trickery or pervert God's word. By clear statements of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God.
isv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ So if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are dying.
isv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as merely your servants for Jesus’ sake.
isv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
isv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ We are always carrying around the death of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may be clearly shown in our bodies.
isv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ While we are alive, we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be clearly shown in our dying bodies.
isv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is for your sake so that, as his grace spreads, it will increase the thanksgiving of more and more people to the glory of God.
isv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ That's why we are not discouraged. No, even if our outer man is wearing out, our inner man is being renewed day by day.
isv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ This light, temporary nature of our suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory, far beyond any comparison,
isv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this one we sigh, since we long to put on our heavenly dwelling.
isv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ Of course, if we do put it on, we will not be found without a body.
isv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ So while we are still in this tent, we sigh under our burdens, because we do not want to put it off but to put it on, so that our dying bodies may be swallowed up by life.
isv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away from home, our goal is to be pleasing to him.
isv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, since we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people. We ourselves are perfectly known to God. I hope we are also really known to your consciences.
isv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves to you again but are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who are proud of outward things rather than inward character.
isv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We do not put an obstacle in anyone's way. Otherwise, fault may be found with our ministry.
isv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are wide open.
isv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ We have not cut you off, but you have cut off your own feelings toward us.
isv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Do us a favor—I ask you as my children—and open wide your hearts.
isv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore, “Get away from themand separate yourselves from them,”declares the Lord, “and don't touch anything unclean.Then I will welcome you.
isv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ I will be your Father,and you will be my sons and daughters,”declares the Lord Almighty.
isv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit by perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
isv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts! We have not treated anyone unjustly, harmed anyone, or cheated anyone.
isv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you. I told you before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together.
isv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you. I am very proud of you. I am very much encouraged. I am overjoyed in all our troubles.
isv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest. We suffered in a number of ways. Outwardly there were conflicts, inwardly there were fears.
isv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing for me, your sorrow, and your eagerness to take my side, and this made me even happier.
isv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I am happy, not because you had such sorrow, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you were sorry in a godly way, and so you were not hurt by us in any way.
isv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ See what great earnestness godly sorrow has produced in you! How ready you are to clear yourselves, how indignant, how alarmed, how full of longing and enthusiasm, how eager to seek justice! In every way you have demonstrated that you are innocent in this matter.
isv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So, even though I wrote to you, it wasn't because of the man who did the wrong or because of the man who was hurt. Instead, I wrote to you so that your devotion to us might be made perfectly clear to you before God.
isv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ This is what comforted us. In addition to our own comfort, we were even more delighted at the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been set at rest by all of you.
isv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have been doing some boasting about you to him, I have never been ashamed of it. Moreover, since everything we told you was true, our boasting to Titus has also proved to be true.
isv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.
isv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not commanding you but testing the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others.
isv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Although he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might become rich.
isv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now finish doing it, so that your eagerness to undertake it may be matched by its completion, in keeping with what you have.
isv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ At the present time, your surplus fills their need, so that their surplus may fill your need. In this way things are fair.
isv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ More than that, he has also been selected by the churches to travel with us while we are administering this work of kindness for the glory of the Lord and as evidence of our eagerness to help.
isv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested in many ways and found to be dedicated. At present he is more dedicated than ever because he has so much confidence in you.
isv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker on your behalf. Our brothers, emissaries from the churches, are the glory of Christ.
isv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore, give to the churches a demonstration of your love and a reason for why we boast about you.
isv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know how willing you are, and I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year, and your enthusiasm has stimulated most of them.
isv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Now I have sent the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter may not prove to be an idle boast, and so that you may stand ready, just as I said.
isv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
isv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.
isv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread to eat will also supply you with seed and multiply it and enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
isv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Because of the proof that this service of yours brings, you will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and because of your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else.
isv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I come I will not need to be courageous by daring to oppose some people who think that we are living according to the flesh.
isv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.
isv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments
isv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ We are ready to punish every act of disobedience when your obedience is complete.
isv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ So if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave us to build you up and not to tear you down, I will not be ashamed of it.
isv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with or compare ourselves to those who recommend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves to themselves, they show how foolish they are.
isv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For it is not as though we were overstepping our limits when we came to you. We were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
isv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting about the work done by others that cannot be evaluated. On the contrary, we cherish the hope that your faith may continue to grow and enlarge our sphere of action among you until it overflows.
isv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ However, I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by its tricks, so your minds may somehow be lured away from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
