Romans:1:3 @ The good news was about his Son. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He was a man born in Davids family.
bwe@Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.
bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.
bwe@Romans:1:6 @ You are some of them. You were called to belong to Jesus Christ.
bwe@Romans:1:9 @ God knows that I always talk to him about you. I worship him in my heart while I tell the good news about his Son.
bwe@Romans:1:10 @ I ask God that in some way now I may be able to visit you, if he wishes me to do it.
bwe@Romans:1:11 @ I want very much to see you. I want to give you some gift from the Holy Spirit to make you stronger.
bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.
bwe@Romans:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.
bwe@Romans:1:15 @ That is why I want so much to tell the good news to you people in the city of Rome also.
bwe@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:1:17 @ The good news shows how God puts a person right. God puts a person right when that person believes in his Son and keeps on believing. The holy writings say, A person who is put right because he believes, will live for ever.
bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.
bwe@Romans:1:24 @ So God left them to do the things their hearts wanted to do. They did the things that are not right to do with their bodies. They did not respect their own bodies.
bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!
bwe@Romans:1:27 @ Their men also left the right way with women. They wanted to have sex with one another. They did wrong things with other men. Their own bodies were punished because of the wrong things they did.
bwe@Romans:1:28 @ They did not want to know God. So he left them to their wrong thoughts and to do things that are not right.
bwe@Romans:1:29 @ They were very bad. They did every kind of wrong thing. They were greedy. They hated people. They were very jealous. They killed many people. They fought. They fooled people. They told lies about people. They carried stories from one person to another.
bwe@Romans:1:32 @ They know that God says that people who do such things should die. Even so, they not only do them, but they praise other people who do them.
bwe@Romans:2:1 @ Do you judge another people? You your-selves have done wrong things. So when you judge others, you judge yourselves, because you do the same things. You judge them and yet you do the same things.
bwe@Romans:2:11 @ God does not love some people more than others.
bwe@Romans:2:14 @ Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law.
bwe@Romans:2:21 @ You teach another person. Do you not teach yourself? You say people must not steal. Do you steal?
bwe@Romans:2:26 @ So if a man who has not been circumcised obeys the law, will he not be like a man who has been circumcised?
bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.
bwe@Romans:2:28 @ If a person is a Jew only on the outside, he is not really a Jew. And true circumcision is not something that is done on the outside of the body.
bwe@Romans:2:29 @ If a person is a Jew inside, he is really a Jew. It is God who praises him, not people. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is in the spirit, not in the body. Such people are not praised; but God praises them.
bwe@Romans:3:1 @ Then what does a Jew have that others do not have? Or what good is it if a person has been circumcised?
bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?
bwe@Romans:3:8 @ Some people say wrong things about us. They say that we say, Let us do wrong things so that good things will happen. People who say such things should be punished.
bwe@Romans:3:9 @ So what shall we say? Are we Jews any better than other people? No, we are not! I have already shown that all men, both Jews and people who are not Jews have done wrong things.
bwe@Romans:3:10 @ The holy writings say, No one is good. No, not one person.
bwe@Romans:3:12 @ They all have turned away from the straight road. Together they have gone the wrong way. No one does good, not even one person!
bwe@Romans:3:13 @ Their mouth is like an open grave. They have used their tongues to fool people. The poison of bad snakes is under their lips.
bwe@Romans:3:21 @ So now God has shown how people can be put right with him without the law. The law and the prophets said he would do it.
bwe@Romans:3:26 @ God also shows that he is right now. He does this when he makes right any person who believes in Jesus.
bwe@Romans:3:28 @ We know that if a person believes in Christ, God makes him right again. It is not because that person has obeyed the law.
bwe@Romans:3:29 @ Is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of other people also? Yes, he is. There is only one God of all peoples.
bwe@Romans:3:30 @ He will put right people who have been circumcised <FI>the Jews<Fi> because they believe. And he will also put right people who are not circumcised when they believe.
bwe@Romans:3:31 @ When we believe, does that make the law no good to us? No. That is not so. When we believe, we show that the law is right.
bwe@Romans:4:1 @ So what shall we say about Abraham? He is the father of our family on earth.
bwe@Romans:4:2 @ If Abraham was put right with God, because of what he did, he has something to be proud of. But he has nothing to be proud of when he stands before God.
bwe@Romans:4:4 @ When a person works, his pay is not a gift to him. His pay belongs to him.
bwe@Romans:4:5 @ But no person can work to put himself right with God. It is God alone who makes a bad person right. The one who believes in him-even a bad person is put right.
bwe@Romans:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.
bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.
bwe@Romans:4:12 @ That makes him also the father of those who are circumcised. I mean people who are circumcised and do as our father Abraham did. Even when he was not circumcised, he believed.
bwe@Romans:4:16 @ That is why people must believe. Because God is kind, he makes the promise sure for all of Abrahams children. The promise is for those who have the law and also for those who believe as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.
bwe@Romans:5:1 @ We are made good people and put right with God when we believe in Jesus Christ. So now we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ did.
bwe@Romans:5:6 @ We could not help ourselves. So at the right time, Christ died to save us bad people.
bwe@Romans:5:7 @ Almost no one would die to save even a good man. But perhaps someone would die to save a very good man.
bwe@Romans:5:9 @ The blood of Christ has now put us right with God. So even more, he will save us from Gods strong anger.
bwe@Romans:5:10 @ When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.
bwe@Romans:5:12 @ One man <FI>Adam<Fi> did a wrong thing. And the wrong thing he did made him die. So all men die because all have done wrong things.
bwe@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death ruled over people from Adams time to Moses time. It even ruled over the people who were not as wrong as Adam. Adam was like a person who would come later.
bwe@Romans:5:17 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so death ruled over people because of that one man. God has been kind to people and given them his free gift. That gift is to make people right with God. People who take that gift will live and rule because of one man, Jesus Christ.
bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.
bwe@Romans:5:19 @ One man did not obey. And so many people were bad people. One man obeyed. And so many people will be made right with God.
bwe@Romans:5:21 @ The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now Gods blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.
bwe@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we keep on doing wrong things so that God will be more kind to us?
bwe@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
bwe@Romans:6:6 @ We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
bwe@Romans:6:8 @ If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
bwe@Romans:6:10 @ He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.
bwe@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must think you are dead, and stop your wrong ways. And you must think you are living for God along with Christ Jesus our Lord.
bwe@Romans:6:15 @ What then? The law does not rule over us now. Gods loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!
bwe@Romans:6:19 @ I speak the way people would think about such things, because your minds are weak. At one time you gave your bodies to be slaves to your unclean ways, and to do more and more wrong things. So now give your bodies to be slaves to doing what is right, and to being good.
bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?
bwe@Romans:7:3 @ So if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she commits adultery. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then if she belongs to another man, she does not commit adultery.
bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
bwe@Romans:7:7 @ So what shall we say? Shall we say that the law is bad? No! I would not have known what is wrong if there had been no law. The law says, Do not want to take other peoples things. That is how I know it is wrong to want another persons things.
bwe@Romans:7:10 @ The same law which was meant to make a person live, made me die.
bwe@Romans:7:12 @ So the law is holy. And what the law says is holy and right and good.
bwe@Romans:7:13 @ So did that good thing make me die? No. The wrong things I did made me die, because that good thing showed they were wrong. And the law shows that the wrong things are very, very bad.
bwe@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law came from the Holy Spirit. But I am a weak man. I have been sold like a slave to do wrong things.
bwe@Romans:7:17 @ So now it is no longer I who do it, but my wrong ways in me.
bwe@Romans:7:21 @ So there is a law I find that it is at work in me. When I want to do what is right, I can only do what is wrong.
bwe@Romans:7:23 @ But I see that in my body there is another law fighting against the law in my mind. And that makes me like a prisoner to the law of wrong things in my body.
bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.
bwe@Romans:8:1 @ So now those who belong to Christ Jesus will not be judged.
bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.
bwe@Romans:8:5 @ Some people live the way their bodies want to live. They think only about the things their bodies want to do. Other people live the way the Spirit wants them to live. They think about the things the Spirit wants them to do.
bwe@Romans:8:11 @ God raised Christ Jesus from death. Does Gods Spirit live in you? Then God will also give life to your bodies which die. He does this through his Spirit who lives in you.
bwe@Romans:8:12 @ So, my brothers, we must not live the way our bodies want us to live. We must not be ruled by our wrong ways.
bwe@Romans:8:14 @ All who do what Gods Spirit leads them to do are Gods sons.
bwe@Romans:8:15 @ The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.
bwe@Romans:8:16 @ So we say, Father! Father! The Spirit himself also, along with our own spirits, tells us that we are Gods children.
bwe@Romans:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.
bwe@Romans:8:19 @ The whole world is waiting for the time when the sons of God will be seen.
bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.
bwe@Romans:8:24 @ That is what we hoped for when we were saved. When the thing hoped for is seen, there is no more hoping. When a person sees a thing, how can he hope for it?
bwe@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for something we do not see, we keep on waiting for it.
bwe@Romans:8:26 @ Also the Spirit helps us because we are weak. We do not know how we should talk to God. But the Spirit himself talks to God for us, while we cry and cannot say any words.
bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.
bwe@Romans:8:30 @ He chose them and he also called them. He called them to himself as if they had never been bad people. He made them right with himself and he also made them great in heaven.
bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?
bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?
bwe@Romans:9:3 @ They are Jews. God gave them the right to be his sons. He showed them how great he is. He made agreements with them. He gave them the law. He told them how to worship him. He gave them the promises.
bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.
bwe@Romans:9:8 @ For this is what God promised, About this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son.
bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.
bwe@Romans:9:11 @ When the children were not yet born, they had done nothing good or bad. God chooses the people he wants. He does not choose people because of what they have done. He chooses people who will answer his call. So he said to Rebecca, The older one will be a slave of the younger one.
bwe@Romans:9:12 @ The holy writings also say, I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.
bwe@Romans:9:13 @ So what shall we say? Does God do what is not right? No, never!
bwe@Romans:9:14 @ He says to Moses, I will be kind to a person if I choose to be kind to him. I will share in the suffering of others if I choose to be sorry for them.
bwe@Romans:9:15 @ God is not kind to a person because the person wants God to be kind to him. God is not kind to him because the person runs to him to ask him for help. God is kind because he chooses to be kind.
bwe@Romans:9:17 @ So God is kind to any person if he wants to be kind to him. And God makes a mans heart hard if he wants to do that.
bwe@Romans:9:18 @ So you will ask me, Why does God still blame us? Who can fight against what God has planned?
bwe@Romans:9:20 @ The person who makes pots has power over the mud. He can make two different pots out of one pile of mud. One pot will be fine and another will not be fine. Can the potter not make them so?
bwe@Romans:9:21 @ God has a right to be very angry if he wants to be. He has the right to show his power. God was very angry with some people who deserved to die. And yet he waited a long time before he did anything to them.
bwe@Romans:9:22 @ He did it to show how very great he is. He was kind to some people. He planned for them to be made great.
bwe@Romans:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."
bwe@Romans:9:26 @ Isaiah the prophet of God said long ago about Israel, Even if the people of Israel are as many as the sand by the sea, only some of them will be saved.
bwe@Romans:9:27 @ The Lord will do what he said he will do on the earth. He will do it all and do it soon.
bwe@Romans:9:28 @ And Isaiah also said, The Lord who has power, left some of our children. If he had not, we would have been like Sodom. We would have been destroyed like Gomorrah.
bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.
bwe@Romans:10:3 @ They did not know the way God makes people right with him. They tried to make themselves good people. So they did not obey Gods way to become right with him.
bwe@Romans:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)
bwe@Romans:10:10 @ A person believes with his heart, and he is made right with God. He speaks with his mouth and so is saved from his wrong ways.
bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?
bwe@Romans:10:17 @ So people believe because they hear. They hear because people tell them about Christ.
bwe@Romans:11:1 @ So I ask, has God left his people? No, he has not! I myself am a Jew. I was born in Abrahams family. I belong to the tribe of Benjamin.
bwe@Romans:11:5 @ So now some are left because God was kind to them, and chose them.
bwe@Romans:11:7 @ So what does that mean? The Jews did not get what they tried to get. Only the people God chose got it. The hearts of the rest of the people became hard.
bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.
bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.
bwe@Romans:11:12 @ The people who are not Jews have been richly blessed because the Jews failed. So it will be even better for them when the Jews no longer fail God.
bwe@Romans:11:13 @ Now I say this to you who are not Jews. I am an apostle to those who are not Jews, so I think highly of the work I have been sent to do.
bwe@Romans:11:14 @ I want the people of my own nation, the Jews, to be jealous. Then I may be able to save some of them.
bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy also.
bwe@Romans:11:17 @ Maybe some of the trees branches were broken off. And you, a branch from a wild olive tree, were made to grow on the tree among the branches. You then have the good water that comes from the root of the olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, The branches were broken off so that I might be joined to the tree.
bwe@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.
bwe@Romans:11:21 @ If God punished the trees own branches, he will punish you also.
bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.
bwe@Romans:11:23 @ God will also put back the other branches if they believe. God is able to put the Jews back where they belong.
bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:25 @ My brothers, I want you to know something that has been a secret. Then you will not be proud of yourselves. The secret is this. Some Jews will have hard hearts until the right number of other people have come in.
bwe@Romans:11:26 @ Then all the Jews will be saved. The holy writings say, Someone will come from Zion to save people. He will take away the wrong ways of our father Jacob.
bwe@Romans:11:31 @ So now, they also have not obeyed him. But he will also be kind to them because he was kind to you.
bwe@Romans:11:32 @ God allowed people to disobey him. He did it so that he might be kind and forgive all people.
bwe@Romans:11:35 @ Who has given a gift to God first, so that God would give him something also?
bwe@Romans:11:36 @ All things come from God, through God, and return to God. Praise him for ever! Yes, it is so!
bwe@Romans:12:1 @ God has been kind to you. So I ask you, brothers, give your bodies to him like a living sacrifice. That is, a holy sacrifice. It will please God. And it is what you should do for him.
bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.
bwe@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts because God has blessed us in different ways. If a person can speak words from God, he must say what he believes he should say.
bwe@Romans:12:7 @ If a person can help others, he must help others. If a person can teach, he must teach.
bwe@Romans:12:8 @ If a person can talk to others, he must talk to others. If a person can give something, he must give it gladly. If a person can be a leader, he must try to be a good leader. If a person can help someone, he must do it gladly.
bwe@Romans:12:17 @ When people do wrong things to you, do not do wrong things to them also. But try to do good things for all people.
bwe@Romans:12:19 @ My dear brothers, do not punish people who do wrong to you. But let Gods anger punish them. In the holy writings the Lord says, I myself will punish people. If they have done wrong things, I will do wrong things to them also.
bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.
bwe@Romans:13:2 @ So anyone who fights against the ruler, fights against what God put there. And those who fight will be punished.
bwe@Romans:13:4 @ Such a person is Gods servant and will do what is good for you. But if you do what is wrong, you should fear him. He has great power and he will use it. He is Gods servant and will punish those who do wrong.
bwe@Romans:13:5 @ So you must obey, not only because of the punishment, but because you know it is right.
bwe@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.
bwe@Romans:13:7 @ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.
bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.
bwe@Romans:14:1 @ Be ready to take a person into the church even if he does not know and believe all you believe. Do not judge what he thinks about things.
bwe@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes he may eat anything. Another person, who does not believe that, eats only things that grow in the garden.
bwe@Romans:14:3 @ The one who eats anything must not despise the one who does not eat everything. And the one who does not eat must not judge the person who does. God has accepted him as he is.
bwe@Romans:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.
bwe@Romans:14:6 @ One man honours the day to honour the Lord; another man does not honour the day to honour the Lord. The person who eats everything, eats it because he honours the Lord. And he thanks God. And the person who will not eat every kind of food also does so to honour the Lord. And he still gives thanks to God.
bwe@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live for the Lord. And if we die, we die for the Lord. So then, if we live or if we die we belong to the Lord.
bwe@Romans:14:12 @ So each of us will tell God about what he has done.
bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.
bwe@Romans:14:15 @ Does what you eat trouble your brother? If it does, you are no longer living in love. Do not destroy the faith of someone because of what you eat. Christ died for him.
bwe@Romans:14:16 @ What is good for you must not be something that other people say is wrong.
bwe@Romans:14:17 @ The kingdom of God is not about what a person eats and drinks. But it is about living in a way which is right with God. It is peace. It is joy because a person has the Holy Spirit.
bwe@Romans:14:18 @ A person who does the work of Christ in this way pleases God. And people like him.
bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.
bwe@Romans:14:23 @ But a man who is not sure that he should eat something, does wrong if he eats it. That is because he does not believe the thing he is doing is right to do. And it is wrong to do what you do not believe is right.
bwe@Romans:15:7 @ So, accept one another, as Christ has accepted you. Then people will know that God is great.
bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.
bwe@Romans:15:10 @ The holy writings also say, People who are not Jews, be glad with those who are Gods people.
bwe@Romans:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.
bwe@Romans:15:12 @ Also, Isaiah says, Someone from Jesses family will come. He will come to rule the people who are not Jews. People who are not Jews will have hope in him.
bwe@Romans:15:15 @ I have written strong words to you. There are some things I want you to remember. I have written because of the gift God has given to me.
bwe@Romans:15:17 @ So, because of Christ Jesus, I am proud of my work for God.
bwe@Romans:15:19 @ I had the power to do signs and wonderful things through the power of the Holy Spirit. So I have told the good news of Christ all the way from the city of Jerusalem to the country of Illyricum.
bwe@Romans:15:22 @ So I have been stopped many times from coming to you.
bwe@Romans:15:27 @ They wanted to do it, and they should do it for them. The Jews gave the people who were not Jews the good things their spirits need. So the people who were not Jews should give the Jews the good things their bodies need.
bwe@Romans:15:30 @ My brothers, I ask you to do this for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit has given you love. Talk to God for me. And I also will talk to him.
bwe@Romans:16:4 @ They almost died to save me. I am not the only one who thanks them. All the churches who are not Jews thank them also.
bwe@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings also to dear Epaenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to believe in Christ.
bwe@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junia. They belong to my family. We were in prison together. The apostles think they are good men. They were Christians before I was.
bwe@Romans:16:9 @ Give my greetings to Urbanus. He worked with us for Christ. Give my greetings to dear Stachys also.
bwe@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus. The Lord chose him. Give my greetings also to his mother who is like a mother to me.
bwe@Romans:16:20 @ God gives peace. He will soon crush Satan under your feet. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
bwe@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy sends you greetings. He worked with me. Luke, Jason, and Sosipater send you greetings. They belong to my family.
bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.
bwe@Romans:16:27 @ God is the only one who is wise. Praise him for ever because of Jesus Christ. Yes, it is so!
bwe@1Corinthians:1:2 @ Our Christian brother Sosthenes and I send greetings to the people who are the church of God in the city of Corinth. You are people whom Christ Jesus has made holy. You, too, are chosen to be Gods people. And we send greetings to all the people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Lord, just as he is our Lord.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:15 @ So no one can say you were baptized in my name.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (However, I also baptized the people of the house of Stephanas. I do not know of any one else that I baptized.)
bwe@1Corinthians:1:21 @ God is wise. But the people of the world were not wise enough to know God. So he chose to save people who believe the good news that we tell them, even though the good news may seem to be foolish.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:22 @ The Jews say, We must see a sign. Those who are not Jews say, We want something we can understand.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:29 @ He did this so that people would not be proud before God.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:1 @ So, my brothers, when I came to you, I did not come to tell you Gods message in big or wise words.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:9 @ The holy writings say, No eye has seen the things God has made ready for those who love him. No ear has heard about them. No persons heart has ever thought of them.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:11 @ The only one who really knows what a person is thinking is the spirit of the person himself. So also, no one knows what God is thinking, only the Spirit of God.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The person who does not have the Spirit does not receive the blessings of the Spirit of God. He thinks they are foolish. He cannot understand them because only people who have the Spirit of God can test them.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:16 @ The holy writings say: Who knows the mind of the Lord so that he may teach him? As for us, we really do have the mind of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then the man who plants is nothing and the man who waters is nothing. God alone makes the seed grow.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:20 @ It also says, The Lord knows that the wise mens thoughts are good for nothing.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So do not be proud of men. Everything belongs to you.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:2 @ A man who takes care of things must be a person his master can trust.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge me before it is time. Wait until the Lord comes. The things which have been kept hidden in the dark he will bring out into the light. He will show what is in peoples hearts. At that time God will tell each man how good his work is.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:6 @ My brothers, I have said these things about Apollos and myself so that you will learn from us to live the way the holy writings say. Then you will not be proud and say, This teacher is better than that one.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:7 @ If you are better, who made you that way? Everything you have was given to you. So then, why are you proud of it? Was it not given to you?
bwe@1Corinthians:4:8 @ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:16 @ So I beg you, do as I do.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:17 @ That is why I am sending Timothy to you. I love Timothy very much. He is my Christian son. I can trust him. He will tell you again my Christian ways of living. I teach these same ways in every church meeting everywhere.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you are proud of yourselves. You think I am not coming to visit you.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come soon if it is the Lords will. Then I will find, not the talk of those proud people, but their power.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Let us then remember the feast of Passover and have our bread. But let us not have our feast with old yeast in the bread. To do bad and wrong things is like that old yeast. But let us have it with new bread that has no old yeast in it. To be honest and true is like the new bread.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:8 @ I wrote a letter to you. I told you not to be friends with people who use sex the wrong way <FI>with a person they are not married to<Fi>.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I did not mean the people of the world <FI>people who are not Christians<Fi> -some of them use sex the wrong way; or always want more things; or steal; or worship idols. To keep away from them altogether would mean you would have to go out of the world.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:10 @ But I wrote to you not to be friends with anyone who says he is a Christian and uses wrong sex, or always wants more, or has idols, or curses, or drinks too much strong drink, or steals. I told you not even to sit down to eat with such a person.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:12 @ God judges those who are outside. The holy writings say, Send the bad person away from among you.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has some complaint against a Christian brother, why does he take him to be judged by those who are not Christians? Why does he not take him to Gods people?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that some day Gods people will judge the world? If you are going to judge the world, can you not judge small things now?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have complaints about things in this life, why do you take them to those who are not church people?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that bad people will have no part in the kingdom where God rules? Do not be fooled. There are some people who will not have part in that place. They are those who commit adultery of any kind, those who have idols, or steal, or are always wanting more, or talk wrong things about people, or drink plenty of strong drink, or take things by force, or curse.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Some of you were like that. But now you have been washed and made holy. The Spirit of our God has made you right by the name of the Lord Jesus.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:12 @ I am free to do anything I want, but some things are not good for me to do. I am free to do anything, but I will not become a slave of anything.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised up the Lord and he will also raise us up by his power.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Run away from every kind of wrong sex! Every other wrong thing which a person does is done outside of his body. But the person who uses sex the wrong way does a wrong thing to his own body.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:20 @ But you were bought and paid for. So then, bring glory to God with your bodies.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But wrong sex is always a danger to us. So it is better for each man to have his own wife and each woman to have her own husband.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:3 @ The husband should give his wife what is right. So also, the wife should give her husband what is right.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:22 @ If a man was a slave when the Lord called him, he is the Lords free man. So also if a man was free when he was called, he is Christs slave.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, Christian brothers, everyone should go on living as he was when God called him. But now he lives with God.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So the man who marries his woman will do what is good. But the man who does not marry her will do better.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now here is what I say about food given to idols. We all know something about this matter. Yet knowledge makes us proud. Love is the real teacher.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier pays for his own food when he goes to war? Who plants a garden and does not eat what grows in it? Who takes care of animals and does not get any of the milk?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Am I saying only what men say? Does not Gods law also say the same?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:11 @ We have planted seed by teaching you the good things of the Spirit.![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
