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:1:5 @ Through him we received grace and a commission as an apostle to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.

isv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

isv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.

isv@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

isv@Romans:1:21 @ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened.

isv@Romans:2:2 @ Now we know that God's judgment against those who practice such is based on truth.

isv@Romans:2:9 @ There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

isv@Romans:2:10 @ But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

isv@Romans:3:3 @ What if some of them were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?

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:3:8 @ Or can we say—as some people slander us by claiming that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!

isv@Romans:3:9 @ What, then, does this mean? Are we Jews any better off? Not at all! For we have already accused everyone, both Jews and Greeks, of being under the power of sin.

isv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says applies to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

isv@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works prescribed by the law.

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:4:5 @ However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

isv@Romans:4:9 @ Now does this blessedness come to the circumcised alone, or also to the uncircumcised? For we say, “Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.”

isv@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who were given the law are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

isv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise is based on faith, so that it may be a matter of grace and may be guaranteed for all his descendants—not only for those who were given the law, but also for those who share Abraham's faith, who is the father of us all.

isv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he thought about his own body (which was already as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old) or about Sarah's inability to have children,

isv@Romans:4:23 @ Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for him

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: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:5:6 @ For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

isv@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

isv@Romans:5:9 @ Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him!

isv@Romans:5:10 @ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life!

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:5:15 @ But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus Christ, been showered on many people!

isv@Romans:5:16 @ Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense brought condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

isv@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous.

isv@Romans:6:1 @ What should we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

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:6:3 @ Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

isv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.

isv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

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:6:8 @ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

isv@Romans:6:9 @ for we know that Christ, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

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:6:17 @ 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:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as far as righteousness was concerned.

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:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the law by dying to what enslaved us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit, not under the old written code.

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:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am mere flesh, sold as a slave to sin.

isv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to deal with sin. He condemned sin in the flesh

isv@Romans:8:7 @ That is why the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile toward God. For it refuses to submit to the authority of God's law because it is powerless to do so.

isv@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

isv@Romans:8:12 @ Consequently, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

isv@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

isv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

isv@Romans:8:17 @ Now if we are children, we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

isv@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

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:8:24 @ For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now hope that is seen is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?

isv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.

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:8:28 @ And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

isv@Romans:8:31 @ What, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.

isv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

isv@Romans:9:3 @ for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh.

isv@Romans:9:14 @ What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not!

isv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “I have raised you up for this very purpose,to demonstrate my power in you and that my name might be proclaimedin all the earth.”

isv@Romans:9:22 @ Now if God wants to demonstrate his wrath and reveal his power, can't he be extremely patient with the objects of his wrath that are made for destruction?

isv@Romans:9:24 @ including us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but from the Gentiles as well?

isv@Romans:9:29 @ It is just as Isaiah predicted: “If the Lord of the Heavenly Armieshad not left us some descendants,we would have become like Sodomand would have been compared to Gomorrah.”

isv@Romans:9:30 @ What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith.

isv@Romans:9:32 @ Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.

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:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, because they all have the same Lord, who gives richly to all who call on him.

isv@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who were not looking for me;I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”

isv@Romans:11:7 @ What, then, does this mean? It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was striving for, but those who were chosen obtained it. However, the rest were hardened.

isv@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, “Branches were cut off so that I could be grafted in.”

isv@Romans:11:20 @ That's right! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you remain only because of faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid!

isv@Romans:11:24 @ After all, if you were cut off from what is naturally a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much easier it will be for these natural branches to be grafted back into their own olive tree!

isv@Romans:12:4 @ For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.

isv@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in Christ and individual parts connected to each other.

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:13:7 @ Pay everyone whatever you owe them—taxes to whom taxes are due, tolls to whom tolls are due, fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.

isv@Romans:13:8 @ Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

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:14:1 @ Accept the person who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over differences of opinion.

isv@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes that he can eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.

isv@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to honor the Lord; and if we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

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: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:15:4 @ 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:15:13 @ 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:15:15 @ However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God

isv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum.

isv@Romans:15:21 @ Rather, as it is written, “Those who were never told about him will see,and those who have never heard will understand.”

isv@Romans:15:25 @ Right now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

isv@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they were eager to do this, and in fact they are obligated to help them, for if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to be of service to them in material things.

isv@Romans:16:2 @ Welcome her in the Lord as is appropriate for saints, and provide her with anything she may need from you, for she has assisted many people, including me.

isv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They were in Christ before I was.

isv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

isv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul wasn't crucified for you, was he? You weren't baptized in Paul's name, were you?

isv@1Corinthians:1:15 @ lest anyone can say that you were baptized in my name.

isv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

isv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.

isv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified. He is a stumbling block to Jews and nonsense to Gentiles,

isv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom.

isv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For God's nonsense is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.

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:1:27 @ But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.

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:2:3 @ It was in weakness, fear, and great trembling that I came to you.

isv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not accompanied by clever words of wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power,

isv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.

isv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.

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:2:12 @ Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.

isv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ We don't speak about these things in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.

isv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For “Who has known the mind of the Lordso that he can advise him?”However, we have the mind of Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren't ready for it. Why, you're still not ready for it!

isv@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's co-workers. You are God's farmland and God's building.

isv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If his work is burned up, he will suffer loss. However, he himself will be saved, but it will be like going through fire.

isv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you!

isv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at.

isv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

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:4:13 @ When slandered, we answer with kind words. Up to this moment we have become the filth of the world, the scum of the universe!

isv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

isv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon if it's the Lord's will. Then I'll discover not only what these arrogant people are saying but also what power they have,

isv@1Corinthians:4:20 @ for the kingdom of God isn't just talk but power.

isv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

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:6:3 @ You know that we will rule angels, not to mention things in this life, don't you?

isv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?

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:6:14 @ God raised the Lord, and by his power he will also raise us.

isv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ because you were bought for a price. Therefore, glorify God with your bodies.

isv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I would like everyone to be like me. However, each person has a special gift from God, one this and another that.

isv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ However, if they cannot control themselves, they should get married, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

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:7:23 @ You were bought for a price. Stop becoming slaves of people.

isv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you do get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will experience distress in the flesh, and I want to spare you that.

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:7:31 @ and those who use the things in the world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away.

isv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ However, if a man stands firm in his resolve and feels no necessity but has made up his mind to keep her a virgin, he will be acting appropriately.

isv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ However, in my opinion she will be happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I, too, have God's Spirit.

isv@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning food offered to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

isv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in the world and that there is only one God.

isv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

isv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idols that they still think they are eating food offered to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it becomes contaminated.

isv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

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:9:4 @ We have the right to eat and drink, don't we?

isv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord's brothers, and Cephas, don't we?

isv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

isv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.

isv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that dies, but we to win one that never dies.

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:10:2 @ and they all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

isv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and they all drank the same spiritual drink, for they continually drank from the spiritual Rock that went with them, and that Rock was Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But God wasn't pleased with most of them, and so they were struck down in the wilderness.

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:10:7 @ Let us stop being idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to play.”

isv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Let us stop sinning sexually, as some of them were doing, and on a single day 23,000 fell dead.

isv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Let us stop putting the Lord to the test, as some of them were doing, and were destroyed by snakes.

isv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ You must stop complaining, as some of them were doing, and were destroyed by the destroying angel.

isv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down as a warning for us in whom the climax of the ages has been realized.

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:10:17 @ Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, because all of us partake of the one loaf.

isv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?

isv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ No one should seek his own welfare, but rather his neighbor's.

isv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ However, if someone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice,” don't eat it, both out of consideration for the one who told you and because of conscience.

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

isv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone wants to argue about this, we do not have any custom like this, nor do any of God's churches.

isv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.

isv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.

isv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined lest we be condemned along with the world.

isv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were Gentiles, you were enticed and led away to idols that couldn't even speak.

isv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another miraculous results; to another prophecy; to another the ability to distinguish between spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.

isv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit all of us—Jews and Greeks, slaves and free—were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

isv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

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

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

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:13:9 @ For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete.

isv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ Now we see only a blurred reflection in a mirror, but then we will see face to face. Now what I know is incomplete, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.

isv@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

isv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women must keep silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak out, but must place themselves in submission, as the law also says.

isv@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and he was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelve.

isv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ and finally he was seen by me, as though I were born abnormally late.

isv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ So, whether it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

isv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if we preach that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you keep claiming there is no resurrection of the dead?

isv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ In addition, we are found to be false witnesses about God because we testified on God's behalf that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if in fact it is true that the dead are not raised.

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:15:23 @ However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first Christ, then those who belong to Christ when he comes.

isv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power.

isv@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why in fact are we being endangered every hour?

isv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

isv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ The body is planted in dishonor but raised in splendor. It is planted in weakness but raised in power.

isv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the likeness of the man who was made from dust, we will also bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

isv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never to decay, and we will be changed.

isv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ Now, when what is decaying puts on what cannot decay, and what is dying puts on what cannot die, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory!”

isv@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

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:16:8 @ However, I will be staying on in Ephesus until Pentecost,

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:16:15 @ Now I urge you, brothers—for you know that the members of the family of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints—

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:1:6 @ 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:1:12 @ 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:1:13 @ For what we are writing you is nothing more than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely,

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:1:20 @ For all God's promises are “Yes” in him. And so through him we can say “Amen,” to the glory of God.

isv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now the one who makes us—and you as well—secure in union with Christ and has anointed us is God,

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:2:2 @ After all, if I were to grieve you, who should make me happy but the person I am making sad?

isv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ so that we may not be outsmarted by Satan. After all, we are not unaware of his intentions.

isv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I went to Troas on behalf of the gospel of Christ, a door in fact stood wide open for me in the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ But my spirit could not find any relief, because I couldn't find Titus, my brother. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

isv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ To God we are the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are being lost.

isv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

isv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, in Christ we speak with sincerity, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

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:3:4 @ Such is the confidence that we have in God through Christ.

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:3:12 @ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we speak with great boldness,

isv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ However, their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil is still there when they read the old covenant. Only in union with Christ is that veil removed.

isv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into the same image with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.

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:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as merely your servants for Jesus’ sake.

isv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us.

isv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ In every way we're troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair,

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:4:13 @ Now since we have the same spirit of faith in keeping with what is written—“I believed, and so I spoke”—we also believe, and so we speak.

isv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us to God together with you.

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:4:18 @ because we do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.

isv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ We know that if the earthly tent we live in is torn down, we have a building in heaven that comes from God, an eternal house not built by human hands.

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:5:6 @ Therefore, we are always confident, and we know that as long as we are at home in this body we are away from the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:5:7 @ For we live by faith, not by sight.

isv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from this body and to live with the Lord.

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:5:13 @ So if we were crazy, it was for God; if we are sane, it is for you.

isv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ The love of Christ controls us, for we are convinced of this: that one person died for all people; therefore, all people have died.

isv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way any more.

isv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Therefore, we are Christ's representatives, as though God were pleading through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: “Be reconciled to God!”

isv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in him.

isv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.

isv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We do not put an obstacle in anyone's way. Otherwise, fault may be found with our ministry.

isv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ Instead, in every way we demonstrate that we are God's servants by tremendous endurance in the midst of difficulties, hardships, and calamities;

isv@2Corinthians:6:7 @ truthful speech, and divine power; through the weapons of righteousness in the right and left hands;

isv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet—as you see—very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,

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:6:15 @ What harmony exists between Christ and Beliar, or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common?

isv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live and walk among them.I will be their God,and they will be my people.”

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: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:7:5 @ 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:7:9 @ 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:7:13 @ 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:7:15 @ His heart goes out to you even more as he remembers how obedient all of you were and how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.

isv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ We want you to know, brothers, about God's grace that was given to the churches of Macedonia.

isv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God's will.

isv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus to finish this work of kindness among you in the same way that he had started it.

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:8:10 @ I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it.

isv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ He welcomed my request and eagerly went to visit you by his own free will.

isv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we have sent the brother who is praised in all the churches for spreading the gospel.

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:8:20 @ We are trying to avoid any criticism of the way we are administering this great undertaking.

isv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ We intend to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people.

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:8:24 @ Therefore, give to the churches a demonstration of your love and a reason for why we boast about you.

isv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find out that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—in this undertaking.

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: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:10:7 @ Look at the plain facts! If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we.

isv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For someone is saying, “His letters are impressive and forceful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible.”

isv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Someone like this should take note of the following: What we say by letter when we are absent is what we will do when present!

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:10:13 @ We will not boast about what cannot be evaluated. Instead, we will stay within the field that God assigned us, so as to reach even you.

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:10:16 @ Then we can preach the gospel in the regions far beyond you without boasting about things already accomplished by someone else.

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:11:4 @ For if someone comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or should you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to listen.

isv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even though I may be untrained as an orator, I am not so in the field of knowledge. We have made this clear to all of you in every possible way.

isv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I am ashamed to admit it, but we have been too weak for that. Whatever anyone else dares to claim—I am talking like a fool—I can claim it, too.

isv@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak without me being weak, too? Who is caused to stumble without me becoming indignant?

isv@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show how weak I am.

isv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ I will boast about this man, but as for myself I will boast only about my weaknesses.

isv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me.

isv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but he has told me,“My grace is all you need, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

isv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ That is why I take such pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake, for when I am weak, then I am strong.

isv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you with utmost patience—signs, wonders, and works of power.

isv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ How were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I did not bother you for help? Forgive me for this wrong!

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:13:3 @ since you want proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is making his power felt among you.

isv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ Though he was crucified in weakness, he lives by God's power. We are weak with him, but by God's power we will live for you.

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

isv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ We pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not to show that we have not failed the test, but so that you may do what is right, even if we seem to have failed.

isv@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

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:1:8 @ But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned!

isv@Galatians:1:9 @ What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned!

isv@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant.

isv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me. Instead, I went away to Arabia and then came back to Damascus.

isv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.

isv@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

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

isv@Galatians:2:2 @ I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders I set before them the gospel I proclaim among the Gentiles. I did this because I was afraid that I was running or had run for nothing.

isv@Galatians:2:4 @ However, false brothers were secretly brought in. They slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus so that they might enslave us.

isv@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might always remain with you.

isv@Galatians:2:6 @ Now those who were reputed to be important added nothing to my message. (What sort of people they were makes no difference to me, since God pays no attention to outward appearances.)

isv@Galatians:2:9 @ So when James, Cephas, and John (who were reputed to be leaders) recognized the grace that had been given me, they gave Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

isv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “Though you are a Jew, you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. So how can you insist that the Gentiles must live like Jews?”

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

isv@Galatians:2:16 @ yet we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law, for no human being will be justified by the works of the law.

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

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:3:22 @ But the Scripture has put everything under the power of sin, so that what was promised by the faithfulness of Christ might be given to those who believe.

isv@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before this faith came, we were held in custody and carefully guarded under the law in preparation for the faith that was to be revealed.

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

isv@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under the control of a guardian.

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

isv@Galatians:4:3 @ It was the same way with us. While we were children, we were slaves to the basic principles of the world.

isv@Galatians:4:5 @ in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as his children.

isv@Galatians:4:8 @ However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all.

isv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how can you turn back again to those powerless and bankrupt basic principles? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again?

isv@Galatians:4:14 @ Even though my condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. On the contrary, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

isv@Galatians:4:20 @ Indeed, I wish I were with you right now so that I could change the tone of my voice, because I am completely baffled by you!

isv@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

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:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

isv@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running beautifully! Who cut in on you and stopped you from obeying the truth?

isv@Galatians:5:10 @ I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view of the matter. However, the one who is troubling you will suffer God's judgment, whoever he is.

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:5:25 @ If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

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:6:9 @ Let us not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

isv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let us practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.

isv@Ephesians:1:6 @ so that we would praise his glorious grace that he gave us in the Beloved One.

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:1:11 @ In Christ we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the one who does everything according to the intention of his will,

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:1:19 @ and the unlimited greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his mighty strength,

isv@Ephesians:1:21 @ He is far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

isv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once lived according to the ways of this present world and according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now active in those who are disobedient.

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:2:11 @ So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles by birth and were called “the uncircumcision” by what is called “the circumcision” made in the flesh by hands.

isv@Ephesians:2:12 @ At that time you were without Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God.

isv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

isv@Ephesians:2:17 @ He came and proclaimed peace for you who were far away and for you who were near.

isv@Ephesians:2:22 @ You, too, are being built in him along with the others into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

isv@Ephesians:3:7 @ I have become a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given me by the working of his power.

isv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given so that I might proclaim to the Gentiles the immeasurable wealth of Christ

isv@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and confident access through his faithfulness.

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:3:20 @ Now to the one who can do infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine according to the power that is working among us—

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:4:8 @ That is why God says, “When he went up to the highest placehe led captives into captivityand gave gifts to people.”

isv@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now what does this “he went up” mean except that he also had gone down into the lower parts of the earth?

isv@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who went down is the same one who went up above all the heavens so that he might fill everything.

isv@Ephesians:4:13 @ until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God's Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in Christ.

isv@Ephesians:4:14 @ Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray.

isv@Ephesians:4:15 @ Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ,

isv@Ephesians:4:20 @ However, that is not the way you came to know Christ.

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:4:25 @ Therefore, stripping off falsehood, “let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

isv@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

isv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know very well that no immoral or impure person, or anyone who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

isv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

isv@Ephesians:5:30 @ For we are parts of his body—of his flesh and of his bones.

isv@Ephesians:6:3 @ “So that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

isv@Ephesians:6:7 @ Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people.

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:6:22 @ 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:1:23 @ Indeed, I cannot decide between the two. I have the desire to leave this life and be with Christ, for that is far better.

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

isv@Philippians:2:29 @ So welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and make sure you honor such people highly.

isv@Philippians:3:3 @ For it is we who are the circumcision—we who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh,

isv@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever things were assets to me, these I now consider a loss for the sake of Christ.

isv@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ—what his resurrection power is like and what it means to share in his sufferings by becoming like him in his death,

isv@Philippians:3:16 @ However, we should live up to what we have achieved so far.

isv@Philippians:3:17 @ Join together in imitating me, brothers, and pay close attention to those who live by the example we have given you.

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:4:7 @ 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@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:1:9 @ For this reason, since the day we heard about this, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

isv@Colossians:1:11 @ You are being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might, so that you might patiently endure everything with joy

isv@Colossians:1:13 @ He has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of the Son whom he loves.

isv@Colossians:1:14 @ In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

isv@Colossians:1:16 @ For by him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether they are kings, lords, rulers, or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

isv@Colossians:1:21 @ You who were once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

isv@Colossians:1:23 @ However, you must remain firmly established and steadfast in the faith, without being moved from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

isv@Colossians:1:28 @ It is he whom we proclaim as we admonish everyone and teach everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

isv@Colossians:1:29 @ I work hard and struggle to do this according to his energy that powerfully works in me.

isv@Colossians:2:7 @ For you have been rooted in him and are being built up and strengthened in the faith, just as you were taught, while you overflow with thanksgiving.

isv@Colossians:2:11 @ In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without human hands by stripping off the corrupt nature in the circumcision performed by Christ.

isv@Colossians:2:12 @ When you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

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:2:14 @ having erased the charges that were brought against us with their decrees that were hostile to us. He took those charges away when he nailed them to the cross.

isv@Colossians:3:7 @ You used to behave like them when you were living among them.

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:3:15 @ 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:3:23 @ Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.

isv@Colossians:4:3 @ At the same time also pray for us—that God would open before us a door for the word so that we may tell the secret about Christ, for which I have been imprisoned.

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:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have received instructions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him.

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:1:4 @ Brothers whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,

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:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.

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:1:9 @ For people keep telling us what kind of welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve a living and true God

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:2:4 @ 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:2:6 @ We did not seek praise from people—from you or from anyone else—

isv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ even though as apostles of Christ we might have made such demands. Instead, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother tenderly caring for her own children.

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:2:11 @ You know very well that we treated each of you the way a father treats his children.

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:2:13 @ Here is another reason why we constantly give thanks to God: When you received God's word, which you heard from us, you did not accept it as the word of humans but for what it really is—the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ because they try to keep us from telling the Gentiles how they can be saved. The result is that they are always adding to the measure of their sins. However, wrath has come on them at last!

isv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while—in person but not in heart—we desire with great eagerness to see you again face to face.

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:3:1 @ Therefore, when we could stand it no longer, we decided to remain alone in Athens

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:3:4 @ In fact, when we were with you, we told you ahead of time that we were going to suffer persecution. And as you know, that is what happened.

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:3:8 @ For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy that we have in God's presence because of you?

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

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:4:2 @ You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard. For the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ In fact, you are showing love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this 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:4:13 @ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so it is through Jesus that God will bring back with him those who have died.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

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:5:4 @ However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the day might surprise you like a thief.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For all of you are children of light and children of day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

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@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:1:9 @ Such people will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction by being separated from the Lord's presence and from his glorious power

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

isv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be so quickly upset or alarmed when someone claims that we said either by some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of the Lord has already come.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders,

isv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ At all times we are obligated to thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you to be the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through faith in the truth.

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:3:2 @ Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

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:3:8 @ We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, with toil and labor we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ It is not as though we did not have that right, but, we wanted to give you an example to follow.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ While we were with you, we gave this order: “If anyone doesn't want to work, he shouldn't eat.”

isv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working—you are busy interfering in other people's lives!

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:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of him. Have nothing to do with him so that he will feel ashamed.

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

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:2:2 @ for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all godliness and dignity.

isv@1Timothy:2:5 @ There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, Christ Jesus.

isv@1Timothy:2:9 @ Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not by braiding their hair or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes,

isv@1Timothy:2:15 @ However, women will be saved by having children, if they continue to have faith, love, and holiness, along with good judgment.

isv@1Timothy:3:4 @ He must manage his own family well and have children who are submissive and respectful in every way.

isv@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must be well thought of by outsiders, lest he fall into disgrace and the trap set for him by the devil.

isv@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be husbands of one wife and must manage their children and their families well.

isv@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those deacons who serve well gain an excellent reputation for themselves and will have great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

isv@1Timothy:3:14 @ I hope to come to you soon. However, I'm writing this to you

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:4:10 @ 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: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:5:10 @ She must be well known for her good works as a woman who has raised children, welcomed strangers, washed the saints’ feet, helped the suffering, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

isv@1Timothy:5:17 @ Elders who handle their duties well should be considered worthy of double compensation, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

isv@1Timothy:6:5 @ and incessant conflict between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth. They think that godliness is a way to make a profit.

isv@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we did not bring anything into the world, and surely we cannot take anything out of it.

isv@1Timothy:6:8 @ So as long as we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with these.

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:6:16 @ He alone has endless life and lives in inaccessible light. No one has ever seen him, nor can anyone see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him! Amen.

isv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

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:1:10 @ 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:1:12 @ That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until that day.

isv@2Timothy:1:18 @ May the Lord grant that he finds mercy from the Lord on that day. You know very well how much he assisted me in Ephesus.

isv@2Timothy:2:2 @ What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.

isv@2Timothy:2:9 @ Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God's word is not chained.

isv@2Timothy:2:11 @ This saying is trustworthy: In dying with Christ,true life we gain.

isv@2Timothy:2:12 @ Enduring, we with him shall reign.Who him denies,he will disclaim.

isv@2Timothy:2:16 @ However, avoid pointless discussions. For people will become more and more ungodly,

isv@2Timothy:2:19 @ However, God's solid foundation still stands. It has this inscription on it: “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”

isv@2Timothy:3:1 @ You must realize, however, that in the last days difficult times will come.

isv@2Timothy:3:5 @ They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people.

isv@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the coat I left with Carpus in Troas, as well as the scrolls and especially the parchments.

isv@2Timothy:4:17 @ However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles could hear it. I was rescued out of a lion's mouth.

isv@Titus:1:4 @ To Titus, a genuine child in the faith we share. May grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior be yours!

isv@Titus:2:12 @ It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world

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:2:14 @ He gave himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be his special people who are enthusiastic about good works.

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:3:5 @ ‘Twas not for deeds that we had done, But by his steadfast love alone, He saved us through a second birth,Renewed us by the Spirit's work,

isv@Titus:3:7 @ And so, made right by his own grace,Eternal life we now embrace.

isv@Philemon:1:17 @ So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

isv@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.

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@Hebrews:1:3 @ He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word. After he had provided a cleansing from sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty

isv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will come to an end,but you will remain forever.They will all wear out like clothes.

isv@Hebrews:2:1 @ For this reason we must pay closer attention to the things we have heard, or we may drift away.

isv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how will we escape if we neglect a salvation as great as this? It was first proclaimed by the Lord himself, and then it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

isv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For he did not put the coming world we are talking about under the control of angels.

isv@Hebrews:2:7 @ You made him a little lower than the angels,yet you crowned him with glory and honor

isv@Hebrews:2:8 @ and put everything under his feet.”Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him.

isv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.

isv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, he himself also shared the same things, so that by his death he might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the devil)

isv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and might free those who were slaves all their lives because they were terrified by death.

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

isv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed him?

isv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.

isv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have had the good news told to us as well as to them, but the message they heard did not help them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened to it.

isv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed are entering that rest, just as he has said, “So in my anger I swore a solemn oaththat they would never enter my rest,”even though his works had been finished since the foundation of the world.

isv@Hebrews:4:13 @ No creature can hide from him, but all are naked and helpless before the eyes of the one to whom we must give a word of explanation.

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:5:2 @ He can deal gently with people who are ignorant and easily deceived, since he himself is subject to weakness.

isv@Hebrews:5:3 @ For that reason he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

isv@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have much to say about this, but it is difficult to explain because you have become too lazy to understand.

isv@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do, if God permits.

isv@Hebrews:6:5 @ who have tasted the goodness of God's word and the powers of the coming age,

isv@Hebrews:6:8 @ However, if it continues to produce thorns and thistles, it is worthless and in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be burned.

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:6:11 @ 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:6:13 @ For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore an oath by himself, since he had no one greater to swear by.

isv@Hebrews:6:16 @ For people swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all argument.

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:7:8 @ The men who collect the tenth die, but we are told that he keeps on living.

isv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the person we are talking about belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.

isv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who was appointed to be a priest, not on the basis of a regulation concerning his ancestry, but rather on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.

isv@Hebrews:7:18 @ Indeed, the cancellation of the former regulation has occurred because it was weak and ineffective

isv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we approach God.

isv@Hebrews:7:26 @ We need such a high priest—one who is holy, innocent, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

isv@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

isv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we do have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven

isv@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

isv@Hebrews:8:6 @ However, Jesus has now obtained a ministry that is as superior to theirs as the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.

isv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tabernacle was set up, and in the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the Presence. This was called the Holy Place.

isv@Hebrews:9:4 @ which had the gold altar for incense and the ark of the covenant completely covered with gold. In it were the gold jar holding the manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

isv@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)

isv@Hebrews:9:6 @ When everything had been arranged like this, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle to perform their duties.

isv@Hebrews:9:7 @ But only the high priest went into the second part, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins committed by the people in ignorance.

isv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands and that is not a part of this creation.

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:10:10 @ By his will we have been sanctified once for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ.

isv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

isv@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great high priest over the household of God,

isv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.

isv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we choose to go on sinning after we have received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

isv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

isv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle.

isv@Hebrews:10:33 @ At times you were made a public spectacle through insults and persecutions, while at other times you associated with people who were treated this way.

isv@Hebrews:10:39 @ Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

isv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things we hope for, the certainty of things we cannot see.

isv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the universe was prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are invisible.

isv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

isv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

isv@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth.

isv@Hebrews:11:16 @ Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.

isv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king's order.

isv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do this, they were drowned.

isv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies with a greeting of peace.

isv@Hebrews:11:34 @ put out raging fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in weakness, became powerful in battle, and routed foreign armies.

isv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead through a resurrection. Others were brutally tortured but refused to accept release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

isv@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned to death, sawed in half, and killed with swords. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins. They were needy, oppressed, and mistreated.

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:12:11 @ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.

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

isv@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

isv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not ignore the one who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they ignored the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we turn away from the one who is from heaven!

isv@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God in reverence and fear in a way that pleases him.

isv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Continue to remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them, as well as those who are mistreated, since they also are only mortal.

isv@Hebrews:13:6 @ Hence we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”

isv@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar, and those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat at it.

isv@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we have no permanent city but are looking for the one that is coming.

isv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

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

isv@James:1:10 @ and a rich person in his lowliness, because he will fade away like a flower in the grass.

isv@James:1:11 @ For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass. The flower in it drops off, and its beauty is gone. That is how the rich person will fade away in his pursuits.

isv@James:1:18 @ In accordance with his will he made us his children by the word of truth, so that we might become the most important of his creatures.

isv@James:1:21 @ Therefore, rid yourselves of everything impure and every expression of wickedness, and with a gentle spirit welcome the word planted in you that can save your souls.

isv@James:2:2 @ Suppose a man wearing gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in.

isv@James:2:3 @ If you give special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Please take this seat,” but you say to the poor man, “Stand over there” or “Sit on the floor at my feet,”

isv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, Rahab the prostitute was justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them away on a different road, wasn't she?

isv@James:3:1 @ Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely.

isv@James:3:3 @ Now if we put bits into horses’ mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies as well.

isv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in God's likeness.

isv@James:3:17 @ However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.

isv@James:4:13 @ Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town, stay there a year, conduct business, and make money.”

isv@James:4:15 @ Instead you should say, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live—and do this or that.”

isv@James:5:11 @ We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen the purpose of the Lord—that the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

isv@James:5:12 @ Above all, brothers, do not swear oaths by heaven, by earth, or by any other object. Instead, let your “Yes” mean yes and your “No” mean no, lest you fall under condemnation.

isv@James:5:16 @ Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

isv@1Peter:1:5 @ Through faith you are being protected by God's power for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of time.

isv@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you in regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who brought you the good news through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things that even the angels desire to look into.

isv@1Peter:1:24 @ For “All human life is like grass,and all its glory is like a flower in the grass. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,

isv@1Peter:2:8 @ a stone they stumble over and a rock they trip on.”They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

isv@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people,but now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy,but now you have received mercy.

isv@1Peter:2:21 @ This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.

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

isv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, bless them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

isv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits

isv@1Peter:3:20 @ who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water.

isv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone to heaven and is at the right hand of God, where angels, authorities, and powers have been made subject to him.

isv@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks must speak God's words. Whoever serves must serve with the strength that God supplies, so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Glory and power belong to him forever and ever! Amen.

isv@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

isv@1Peter:5:11 @ Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.

isv@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

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:1:21 @ because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

isv@2Peter:2:1 @ Now there were false prophets among the people, just as there also will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.

isv@2Peter:2:11 @ Yet even angels, although they are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous accusation against them from the Lord.

isv@2Peter:3:13 @ But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.

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:1:2 @ This life was revealed to us, and we have seen it and testify about it. We declare to you this eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

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:1:5 @ This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness—none at all!

isv@1John:1:6 @ If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness, we are lying and the truth is not in us.

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

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:1:10 @ If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

isv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, one who is righteous.

isv@1John:2:3 @ This is how we can be sure that we have come to know him: if we continually keep his commandments.

isv@1John:2:5 @ But whoever continually keeps his word is the kind of person in whom God's love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with him:

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:2:19 @ They left us, but they were not part of us, for if they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. They simply made it clear that none of them was really part of us.

isv@1John:2:28 @ Even now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame at his coming.

isv@1John:3:1 @ See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

isv@1John:3:2 @ Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when Christ is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

isv@1John:3:11 @ This is the message that you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

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

isv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains in death.

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:3:18 @ Little children, we must stop loving in word and in tongue, but instead love in action and in truth.

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

isv@1John:3:22 @ Whatever we request we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

isv@1John:3:24 @ The person who keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure that he remains in us: he has given us his Spirit.

isv@1John:4:6 @ We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

isv@1John:4:9 @ This is how God's love was revealed among us: God sent his unique Son into the world so that we might live through him.

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:4:11 @ Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love one another.

isv@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

isv@1John:4:13 @ This is how we know that we abide in him and he in us: he has given us his Spirit.

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:4:16 @ We have come to know and believe in the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

isv@1John:4:17 @ This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, while we are in this world, we are just like him.

isv@1John:4:19 @ We love because he first loved us.

isv@1John:4:21 @ And this is the commandment that we have from him: the person who loves God must also love his brother.

isv@1John:5:2 @ This is how we know that we love God's children: we love God and keep his commandments.

isv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not difficult,

isv@1John:5:9 @ If we accept human testimony, God's testimony is greater, because it is the testimony of God and because he has testified about his Son.

isv@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence that we have in him: if we ask for anything according to his will, he listens to us.

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:5:18 @ We know that the person who has been born from God does not go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one cannot harm them.

isv@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one.

isv@1John:5:20 @ We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true God. We are in union with the one who is true, his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

isv@2John:1:5 @ I am now requesting you, dear lady, that we continue to love each other. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning.

isv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love: that we live according to his commandments. This is his commandment, just as you have heard it from the beginning. You must live by it.

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@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:1:6 @ 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:1:7 @ After all, they went on their trip for the sake of Christ's name, accepting no support from the Gentiles.

isv@3John:1:8 @ Therefore, we ought to support such people so that we can become their helpers in spreading the truth.

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@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:1:11 @ How terrible it will be for them! For they followed the path of Cain, rushed headlong into Balaam's error to make a profit, and destroyed themselves in Korah's rebellion.

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:1:25 @ 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.
