isv@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.

isv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed something, I did not bother any of you, because our brothers who came from Macedonia supplied everything I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.

isv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But I will go on doing what I'm doing in order to deny an opportunity to those people who want an opportunity to be recognized as our equals in the work they are boasting about.

isv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You put up with anyone who makes you his slaves, devours what you have, takes what is yours, orders you around, or slaps your face!

isv@2Corinthians:11:26 @ I have been involved in frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the open country, dangers at sea, dangers from false brothers,

isv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ. Fourteen years ago—whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows—that man was snatched away to the third heaven.

isv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool. You forced me to be one. Really, I should have been commended by you, for I am not in any way inferior to your “super-apostles,” even if I am nothing.

isv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here I am ready to visit you for a third time, and I will not bother you for help. I do not want your things but you. Children should not have to support their parents, but parents their children.

isv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I encouraged Titus to visit you, and I sent along with him the brother you know so well. Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? We conducted ourselves with the same spirit, didn't we? We took the very same steps, didn't we?

isv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we are trying to defend ourselves before you? We are speaking before God in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is meant to build you up.

isv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?

isv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope you will realize that we haven't failed our test.

isv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad when we are weak and you are strong. That is what we are praying for—your maturity.

isv@Galatians:1:3 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

isv@Galatians:1:4 @ He gave himself for our sins in order to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father.

isv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then fourteen years later I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

isv@Galatians:2:15 @ We ourselves are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,

isv@Galatians:2:17 @ Now if we, while trying to be justified in Christ, have been found to be sinners, does that mean that Christ is a minister of sin? Of course not!

isv@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Who put you under a spell? Was not Jesus Christ clearly portrayed as crucified before your very eyes?

isv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. It doesn't say “descendants,” referring to many, but “your descendant,” referring to one person, who is Christ.

isv@Galatians:3:21 @ So is the law in conflict with the promises of God? Of course not! For if a law had been given that could give us life, then certainly righteousness would come through the law.

isv@Galatians:3:24 @ And so the law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.

isv@Galatians:3:27 @ Indeed, all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

isv@Galatians:4:6 @ Now because you are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to cry out, “Abba! Father!”

isv@Galatians:4:15 @ What, then, happened to your positive attitude? For I testify that if it had been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

isv@Galatians:4:16 @ So have I now become your enemy for telling you the truth?

isv@Galatians:4:26 @ But the heavenly Jerusalem is the free woman, and she is our mother.

isv@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ has set us free so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. So keep on standing firm in it, and stop attaching yourselves to the yoke of slavery again.

isv@Galatians:5:2 @ Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

isv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.

isv@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole law is summarized in a single statement: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

isv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not destroyed by each other.

isv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person in a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.

isv@Galatians:6:13 @ Why, not even those who are circumcised obey the law! They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.

isv@Galatians:6:14 @ But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!

isv@Galatians:6:18 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers! Amen.

isv@Ephesians:1:2 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

isv@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm,

isv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of God's grace

isv@Ephesians:1:12 @ so that we who had already fixed our hope on Christ might live for his praise and glory.

isv@Ephesians:1:13 @ You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

isv@Ephesians:1:14 @ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own possession, to his praise and glory.

isv@Ephesians:1:15 @ Therefore, because I have heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

isv@Ephesians:1:17 @ I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation through knowing Christ fully.

isv@Ephesians:1:18 @ Then, with the eyes of your hearts enlightened, you will know the hope of his calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints,

isv@Ephesians:2:1 @ You used to be dead because of your offenses and sins,

isv@Ephesians:2:3 @ Indeed, all of us once behaved like them in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and senses. By nature we deserved wrath, just like everyone else.

isv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

isv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.

isv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For it is he who is our peace. In his flesh he made both groups one by tearing down the wall of hostility that divided them.

isv@Ephesians:3:2 @ Surely you have heard about the responsibility of administering God's grace that was given to me on your behalf,

isv@Ephesians:3:11 @ in keeping with the eternal purpose that God carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord,

isv@Ephesians:3:13 @ So then, I ask you not to become discouraged because of my troubles on your behalf, which are your glory.

isv@Ephesians:3:14 @ This is the reason I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

isv@Ephesians:3:16 @ I pray that he would give you, according to his glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through his Spirit,

isv@Ephesians:3:17 @ and that Christ would make his home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love,

isv@Ephesians:4:3 @ Do your best to maintain the unity of the Spirit by means of the bond of peace.

isv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit. In the same way, you were called to the one hope of your calling.

isv@Ephesians:4:22 @ Regarding your former way of life, you were taught to strip off your old man, which is being ruined by its deceptive desires,

isv@Ephesians:4:23 @ to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

isv@Ephesians:4:24 @ and to clothe yourselves with the new man, which was created according to the likeness of God in righteousness and true holiness.

isv@Ephesians:4:26 @ “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

isv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no filthy talk come out of your mouths, but only what is good for building up as the need may be. This way you will give grace to those who hear you.

isv@Ephesians:5:19 @ Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. You will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts.

isv@Ephesians:5:20 @ You will always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@Ephesians:5:21 @ And you will submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Christ.

isv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord.

isv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it,

isv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as Christ does the church.

isv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

isv@Ephesians:6:2 @ “Honor your father and mother.” This is a very important commandment with a promise:

isv@Ephesians:6:4 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

isv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear, with trembling, and along with sincerity, as when you obey Christ.

isv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, treat your slaves the same way. Do not threaten them, for you know that both of you have the same Master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

isv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.

isv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand firm, therefore, having fastened the belt of truth around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

isv@Ephesians:6:15 @ and having put shoes on your feet so that you are ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.

isv@Ephesians:6:21 @ So that you may know what has happened to me and how I am doing, Tychicus, our dear brother and a faithful minister in the Lord, will tell you everything.

isv@Ephesians:6:22 @ I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.

isv@Philippians:1:2 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

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

isv@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer, that your love will keep on growing more and more in full knowledge and perfect insight,

isv@Philippians:1:14 @ Moreover, because of my imprisonment most of the brothers have been made confident in the Lord to speak God's word more boldly and courageously than ever before.

isv@Philippians:1:19 @ because I know that this will result in my deliverance through your prayers and the help that comes from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

isv@Philippians:1:24 @ But for your sake it is better that I remain in this body.

isv@Philippians:1:25 @ Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will continue to live and be with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith.

isv@Philippians:1:26 @ Then your boasting in Christ Jesus will increase along with mine through my coming again to you.

isv@Philippians:1:28 @ and that you are not intimidated by your opponents in any way. This is evidence that they will be destroyed and that you will be saved—and all because of God.

isv@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit, if there is any compassion and sympathy,

isv@Philippians:2:3 @ Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves.

isv@Philippians:2:4 @ Do not be concerned about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.

isv@Philippians:2:5 @ Have the same attitude among yourselves that was also in Christ Jesus:

isv@Philippians:2:7 @ Instead, poured out in emptiness,A servant's form did he possess,A mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be,

isv@Philippians:2:12 @ And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

isv@Philippians:2:17 @ Yet even if I am being poured out like an offering as part of the sacrifice and service I offer for your faith, I rejoice, and I share my joy with all of you.

isv@Philippians:2:18 @ In the same way, you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.

isv@Philippians:2:19 @ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I can be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

isv@Philippians:2:20 @ I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

isv@Philippians:2:25 @ Meanwhile, I thought it best to send Epaphroditus—my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need—back to you.

isv@Philippians:2:30 @ For he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

isv@Philippians:3:1 @ So then, my brothers, keep on rejoicing in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you; indeed, it is for your safety.

isv@Philippians:3:20 @ Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.

isv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your forbearing spirit be known to all people.The Lord is near:

isv@Philippians:4:6 @ Never worry about anything, but in every situation let your petitions be made known to God in prayers and requests, with thanksgiving.

isv@Philippians:4:7 @ Then God's peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

isv@Philippians:4:10 @ Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.

isv@Philippians:4:17 @ It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I am looking for the profit that accumulates to your account.

isv@Philippians:4:19 @ And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

isv@Philippians:4:20 @ Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.

isv@Philippians:4:23 @ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit! Amen.

isv@Colossians:1:1 @ From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

isv@Colossians:1:2 @ to the holy and faithful brothers in Colossae who are in union with Christ.May grace and peace from God our Father be yours!

isv@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

isv@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints,

isv@Colossians:1:7 @ You learned about this gospel from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf.

isv@Colossians:1:8 @ He has told us about your love in the Spirit.

isv@Colossians:2:2 @ Because they are united in love, I pray that their hearts may be encouraged by all the riches that come from a complete understanding of the full knowledge of Christ, who is the secret of God.

isv@Colossians:2:5 @ For although I am absent in body, I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how stable you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.

isv@Colossians:2:13 @ Even when you were dead because of your offenses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with him when he forgave us all of our offenses,

isv@Colossians:2:19 @ He does not hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, which is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that comes from God.

isv@Colossians:3:2 @ Keep your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.

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

isv@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ your life is revealed, then you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

isv@Colossians:3:5 @ So put to death your worldly impulses: sexual sin, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).

isv@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must also get rid of anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene language from your mouth, and all such sins.

isv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new man, which is being renewed into full knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.

isv@Colossians:3:12 @ Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

isv@Colossians:3:14 @ Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which ties everything together in unity.

isv@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ also rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body, and be thankful.

isv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you with all richness and wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

isv@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

isv@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

isv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

isv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not make your children resentful, lest they become discouraged.

isv@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched in order to please them, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

isv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, treat your slaves with justice and fairness, for you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

isv@Colossians:4:2 @ Devote yourselves to prayer. Be alert when you pray with thanksgiving.

isv@Colossians:4:5 @ Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time.

isv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.

isv@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.

isv@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

isv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We always thank God for all of you when we mention you in our prayers.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active, your love is hard at work, and your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ is enduring.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not a waste of time.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ As you know, we suffered persecution and were mistreated in Philippi. Yet we were encouraged by our God to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from deceit, impure motives, or trickery.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ Rather, because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, we speak as we do, not trying to please people but God, who tests our motives.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ As you know, we did not come with words of flattery or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

isv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ We cared so deeply for you that we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but our very lives. That is how dear you were to us.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You remember, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not become a burden to any of you while we proclaimed the gospel of God to you.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You and God are witnesses of how pure, honest, and blameless our conduct was among you who believe.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We comforted and encouraged you, urging you to live in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in union with Christ Jesus. You suffered the same persecutions from the people of your own country as they did from those Jews

isv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ That is why we wanted to come to you. Certainly I, Paul, time and again wanted to come, but Satan blocked our way.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for boasting in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn't it?

isv@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ Yes, you are our glory and joy!

isv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and send Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

isv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions. Indeed, you yourselves know that we were destined for this.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ But when I could stand it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out about your faith. I was afraid that the tempter had tempted you in some way, and that our work had been a waste of time.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But Timothy has just now come back to us from you and has told us the good news about your faith and love. He also told us that you always have fond memories of us and want to see us, just as we want to see you.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ That's why, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we have been encouraged about you by your faith.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ We pray very hard night and day that we may see you again face to face, so that we may supply whatever is lacking in your faith.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus guide us to you.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ Then your hearts will be strong in holiness and blameless in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his saints.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Now then, brothers, you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, as in fact you are doing. We ask and encourage you in the Lord to do so even more.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you,

isv@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ So then, encourage one another with these words.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

isv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ So then, encourage one another and build each other up, as you are doing.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ We urge you, brothers, to instruct those who are idle, cheer up those who are discouraged, and help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

isv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ At all times we are obligated to thank God for you, brothers. It is right to do this because your faith is growing all the time and the love of every one of you for each other is increasing.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ As a result, we boast about you among God's churches—about your endurance and faith through all the persecutions and afflictions you are experiencing.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be regarded with wonder on that day by all who have believed—including you, because you believed our testimony.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful work.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now we ask you, brothers, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

isv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ With this purpose in mind, he called you through our proclamation of the gospel so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brothers, stand firm, and cling to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.

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

isv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.

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

isv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know what you must do to imitate us. We did not live in idleness among you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.

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

isv@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord be yours!

isv@1Timothy:1:8 @ Of course, we know that the law is good if a person uses it legitimately,

isv@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who gives me strength, that he has considered me faithful and has appointed me to his service.

isv@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed toward me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

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

isv@1Timothy:3:16 @ By common confession, the secret of our godly worship is great: In flesh was he revealed to sight,Kept righteous by the Spirit's might,Adored by angels singing. To nations was he manifest,Believing souls found peace and rest,Our Lord in heaven reigning!

isv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you continue to point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the healthy teaching that you have followed closely.

isv@1Timothy:4:7 @ Do not have anything to do with godless myths and fables of old women, but train yourself in godliness.

isv@1Timothy:4:10 @ To this end we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, that is, of those who believe.

isv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for other believers in your speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and purity.

isv@1Timothy:4:15 @ Think on these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress.

isv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Pay close attention to your life and your teaching. Persevere in these things, for if you do this, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

isv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him as if he were your father. Treat younger men like brothers,

isv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But do not include younger widows on your list. For whenever their natural desires cause them to lose their devotion to Christ, they want to remarry.

isv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not ordain anyone hastily. Do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

isv@1Timothy:5:23 @ Stop drinking only water, but use a little wine for your stomach because of your frequent illnesses.

isv@1Timothy:6:1 @ All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their own masters as deserving of the highest respect, so that the name of God and our teaching may not be discredited.

isv@1Timothy:6:3 @ If anyone teaches false doctrine and refuses to agree with the healthy words of our Lord Jesus Christ and godly teaching,

isv@1Timothy:6:6 @ Of course, godliness with contentment does bring a great profit.

isv@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight for the faith. Keep your hold on eternal life, to which you were called and about which you gave a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

isv@1Timothy:6:14 @ to keep this command stainless and blameless until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@1Timothy:6:17 @ Tell those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as riches. Instead, let them place their confidence in God, who lavishly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

isv@2Timothy:1:4 @ recalling your tears and longing to see you so that I can be filled with joy.

isv@2Timothy:1:5 @ I am reminded of your sincere faith, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that this faith also lives in you.

isv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.

isv@2Timothy:1:9 @ He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our own works but according to his own purpose and the grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.

isv@2Timothy:1:10 @ Now, however, it has been revealed through the coming of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and through the gospel has brought life and release from death into full view.

isv@2Timothy:2:13 @ Our faith may fail,his never wanes— For thus he is,he cannot change!

isv@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you must be clear-headed about everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of an evangelist. Devote yourself completely to your ministry.

isv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for my departure has come.

isv@2Timothy:4:9 @ Do your best to come to me soon.

isv@2Timothy:4:15 @ You, too, must watch out for him, for he violently opposed our message.

isv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your best to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

isv@2Timothy:4:22 @ May the Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with all of you! Amen.

isv@Titus:1:3 @ At the right time he revealed his message through the proclamation that was entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.

isv@Titus:1:9 @ He must be devoted to the trustworthy message that is in agreement with our teaching, so that he may be able to encourage others with healthy doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

isv@Titus:2:4 @ They should encourage the younger women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

isv@Titus:2:6 @ Likewise, encourage the younger men to be sensible.

isv@Titus:2:10 @ or steal from them. Instead, they are to show complete and perfect loyalty, so that in every way they may make the teaching about God our Savior more attractive.

isv@Titus:2:13 @ as we wait for the blessed hope and the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

isv@Titus:2:15 @ These are the things you should say. Encourage and refute with full authority. Do not let anyone look down on you.

isv@Titus:3:2 @ They are not to insult anyone or be argumentative. Instead, they are to be gentle and show perfect courtesy to everyone.

isv@Titus:3:3 @ After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

isv@Titus:3:4 @ However, In grace our Savior God appeared,His love for mankind to make clear.

isv@Titus:3:6 @ And poured him out upon us, too,Through Jesus Christ our Savior true.

isv@Titus:3:12 @ As soon as I send Artemas to you, or perhaps Tychicus, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

isv@Titus:3:14 @ Our own people should also learn to devote themselves to good works when urgent needs arise, lest they be unproductive.

isv@Philemon:1:1 @ From Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,

isv@Philemon:1:2 @ to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house.

isv@Philemon:1:3 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!

isv@Philemon:1:5 @ because I keep hearing about your love and the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints.

isv@Philemon:1:6 @ I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every blessing that is ours in Christ.

isv@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have received considerable joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed, brother, through you.

isv@Philemon:1:13 @ I wanted to keep him with me so that he could serve me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel.

isv@Philemon:1:14 @ Yet I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be something forced, but voluntary.

isv@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. (I will not mention to you that you owe me your very life.)

isv@Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you because I know that you will do even more than I ask.

isv@Philemon:1:22 @ Meanwhile, prepare a guest room for me, too, for I am hoping through your prayers to be returned to you.

isv@Philemon:1:25 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit! Amen.

isv@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, having spoken in former times in fragmentary and varied fashion to our forefathers by the prophets,

isv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?

isv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God,is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdomis a righteous scepter.

isv@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved righteousnessand hated wickedness. That is why God, your God,anointed you rather than your companionswith the oil of gladness.”

isv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, “In the beginning, Lord,you laid the foundation of the earth,and the heavens are the work of your hands.

isv@Hebrews:1:12 @ You will roll them up like a robe,and they will be changed like clothes. But you remain the same,and your years will never end.”

isv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels did he ever say, “Sit at my right handuntil I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?

isv@Hebrews:2:12 @ when he says, “I will announce your name to my brothers. I will praise you within the congregation.”

isv@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

isv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful as the Son in charge of God's household, and we are his household if we hold on to our courage and the hope that we boast about.

isv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your heartsas they did when they provoked meduring the time of testing in the wilderness.

isv@Hebrews:3:9 @ There your ancestors tested me,even though they had seen my works

isv@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God.

isv@Hebrews:3:13 @ Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

isv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we are Christ's partners only if we hold on to our original confidence to the end.

isv@Hebrews:3:15 @ As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as they didwhen they provoked me.”

isv@Hebrews:4:7 @ he again fixes a definite day—“Today”—saying long afterward through David, as already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts.”

isv@Hebrews:4:14 @ Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us continue to hold on to our confession.

isv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

isv@Hebrews:4:16 @ So let us keep on coming with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

isv@Hebrews:5:5 @ In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the glory of being a high priest. No, it was God who said to him, “You are my Son.Today I have become your Father.”

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

isv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case, things that point to salvation.

isv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have ministered to the saints and continue to minister to them.

isv@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we want each of you to continue to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to give full assurance to your hope.

isv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that by these two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to prove false, we who have taken refuge in him might have a strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

isv@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor for our souls, firm and secure, which reaches behind the curtain,

isv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

isv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is obvious that our Lord was a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from that tribe.

isv@Hebrews:9:12 @ Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood he went into the Holy of Holies once for all and secured our eternal redemption.

isv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the living God!

isv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not go into a sanctuary made by human hands and just a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in God's presence on our behalf.

isv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’(in the scroll of the Book this is written about me).”

isv@Hebrews:10:9 @ Then he says, “See, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

isv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in full assurance of faith, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

isv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day coming nearer.

isv@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you sympathized with the prisoners and cheerfully submitted to the violent seizure of your property, because you know that you have a better and more permanent possession.

isv@Hebrews:10:35 @ So do not throw away your confidence, since it holds a great reward for you.

isv@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it our ancestors won approval.

isv@Hebrews:12:5 @ You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons: “My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's disciplineor give up when you are corrected by him.

isv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more submit to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

isv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but he does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

isv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore, strengthen your tired arms and your weak knees,

isv@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not become worse but rather be healed.

isv@Hebrews:12:29 @ For our God is an all-consuming fire.

isv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never leave you or abandon you.”

isv@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who have spoken God's word to you. Think about the impact of their lives, and imitate their faith.

isv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Continue to obey your leaders and to be submissive to them, for they watch over your souls as men who will have to give a word of explanation. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be harmful to you.

isv@James:2:4 @ you have made false distinctions among yourselves and have become judges with evil motives, haven't you?

isv@James:2:6 @ But you have humiliated the man who is poor. Are not rich people the ones who oppress you and drag you into court?

isv@James:2:8 @ Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal law in keeping with the Scripture, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

isv@James:2:12 @ You must make it your habit to speak and act like people who are going to be judged by the law of liberty.

isv@James:2:18 @ But someone may say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without any works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

isv@James:2:21 @ Our ancestor Abraham was justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the altar, wasn't he?

isv@James:3:6 @ The tongue is a fire, a world of evil. Placed among the parts of our bodies, the tongue contaminates the whole body and sets on fire the course of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.

isv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, stop boasting and lying against the truth.

isv@James:4:1 @ Where do those fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your selfish desires that are at war in your bodies, don't they?

isv@James:4:3 @ You ask for something but do not get it because you ask for it for the wrong reason—for your own pleasure.

isv@James:4:7 @ Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you.

isv@James:4:9 @ Be miserable, mourn, and cry. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom.

isv@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

isv@James:4:12 @ There is only one Lawgiver and Judge—the one who can save and destroy. So who are you to judge your neighbor?

isv@James:4:14 @ You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

isv@James:5:5 @ You have lived in luxury and pleasure on earth. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.

isv@James:5:8 @ You, too, must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is near.

isv@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more valuable than gold that perishes when it is tested by fire, may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

isv@1Peter:1:9 @ because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

isv@1Peter:1:10 @ Even the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours, carefully researched and investigated this salvation.

isv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep a clear head, and set your hope completely on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

isv@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that you once had in your ignorance.

isv@1Peter:1:15 @ Instead, just as the one who called you is holy, be holy in every aspect of your life.

isv@1Peter:1:18 @ For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you have been ransomed from the worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors,

isv@1Peter:1:20 @ On the one hand, he was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but on the other hand, he was revealed at the end of time for your sake.

isv@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

isv@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have obeyed the truth and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart.

isv@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, rid yourselves of every kind of evil and deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander.

isv@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation.

isv@1Peter:2:5 @ you, too, as living stones, are building yourselves up into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood, so that you may offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

isv@1Peter:2:12 @ Continue to live such upright lives among the Gentiles that, when they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God when he visits them in judgment.

isv@1Peter:2:13 @ For the Lord's sake submit yourselves to every human authority: whether to the king as supreme,

isv@1Peter:2:16 @ Live like free people, and do not use your freedom as an excuse for doing evil. Instead, be God's servants.

isv@1Peter:2:18 @ You household servants must submit yourselves to your masters with all fear, not only to those who are kind and fair, but also to those who are unjust.

isv@1Peter:2:19 @ For it is a fine thing if, when moved by your conscience to please God, you suffer patiently when wronged.

isv@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to those sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

isv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep that kept going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

isv@1Peter:3:1 @ In a similar way, you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands so that, even if some of them refuse to obey the word, they may be won over without a word through your conduct as wives

isv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your pure and reverent lives.

isv@1Peter:3:3 @ Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses.

isv@1Peter:3:7 @ In a similar way, you husbands must live with your wives in an understanding manner, as with a most delicate vessel. Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.

isv@1Peter:3:15 @ Instead, exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you to explain the hope you have.

isv@1Peter:3:16 @ But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak evil of your good conduct in Christ will be ashamed of slandering you.

isv@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ suffered in the sphere of the flesh, you, too, must arm yourselves with the same determination. For the person who has suffered in the sphere of the flesh has stopped sinning,

isv@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of everything is near; so be sensible and clear-headed for the sake of your prayers.

isv@1Peter:4:15 @ Of course, none of you should suffer for being a murderer, thief, criminal, or troublemaker.

isv@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

isv@1Peter:5:7 @ Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you.

isv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

isv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

isv@1Peter:5:12 @ Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

isv@1Peter:5:13 @ Your sister church in Babylon, chosen along with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.

isv@2Peter:1:1 @ From Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith that is as valuable as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

isv@2Peter:1:2 @ May grace and peace be yours in abundance through the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!

isv@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,

isv@2Peter:1:6 @ your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,

isv@2Peter:1:7 @ your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.

isv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@2Peter:1:10 @ So then, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election certain, for if you keep on doing this you will never fail.

isv@2Peter:1:11 @ For in this way you will be generously granted entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

isv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yet I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I am living in this bodily tent,

isv@2Peter:1:14 @ because I know that the removal of my bodily tent will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.

isv@2Peter:1:16 @ When we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we did not follow any clever myths. Rather, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

isv@2Peter:1:18 @ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

isv@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

isv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after escaping the world's corruptions through a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and conquered by them, then their last condition is worse than their former one.

isv@2Peter:3:1 @ Dear friends, this is now the second letter I am writing to you. In them I have been trying to stimulate your pure minds by reminding you

isv@2Peter:3:2 @ to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

isv@2Peter:3:4 @ by saying, “What happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation.”

isv@2Peter:3:15 @ Think of our Lord's patience as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him.

isv@2Peter:3:17 @ And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continually be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people, lest you fall from your secure position.

isv@2Peter:3:18 @ Instead, continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and on that eternal day! Amen.

isv@1John:1:1 @ What existed from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we observed and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life!

isv@1John:1:3 @ What we have seen and heard we declare to you so that you, too, can have fellowship with us. Now this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

isv@1John:1:4 @ We are writing these things so that our joy may be full.

isv@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

isv@1John:1:9 @ If we make it our habit to confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

isv@1John:2:2 @ It is he who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world's.

isv@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children,because your sins have been forgivenon account of his name.

isv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

isv@1John:3:16 @ This is how we have come to know love: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.

isv@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to establish our hearts in his presence.

isv@1John:3:20 @ If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.

isv@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God.

isv@1John:4:10 @ This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

isv@1John:4:14 @ We have seen for ourselves and can testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

isv@1John:5:4 @ because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

isv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he listens to our requests, we can be sure that we have what we ask him for.

isv@1John:5:21 @ Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

isv@2John:1:4 @ I was overjoyed to find some of your children living in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.

isv@2John:1:8 @ See to it that you don't destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward.

isv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your home or even greet him,

isv@2John:1:12 @ Although I have a great deal to write to you, I would prefer not to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

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

isv@3John:1:2 @ Dear friend, I pray that you are doing well in every way and that you are healthy, just as your soul is healthy.

isv@3John:1:3 @ For I was overjoyed when some brothers arrived and testified about your truthfulness and how you live according to the truth.

isv@3John:1:6 @ They have testified before the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

isv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has received a good report from everyone, including the truth itself. We, too, can testify to this, and you know that our testimony is true.

isv@3John:1:14 @ Instead, I hope to see you soon and talk face to face.May peace be with you! Your friends greet you. Greet each of our friends by name.

isv@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance!

isv@Jude:1:3 @ Dear friends, although I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to continue your vigorous defense of the faith that was passed down to the saints once and for all.

isv@Jude:1:4 @ For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

isv@Jude:1:12 @ These people are stains on your love feasts. They feast with you without any sense of awe. They are shepherds who care only for themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by the winds. They are autumn trees that are fruitless, twice dead, and uprooted.

isv@Jude:1:17 @ But you, dear friends, must remember the statements and predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@Jude:1:20 @ But you, dear friends, must continue to build yourselves up on your most holy faith. Pray in the Holy Spirit,

isv@Jude:1:21 @ and remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life.

isv@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
