noyes@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,

noyes@Romans:1:2 @ which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

noyes@Romans:1:3 @ the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,

noyes@Romans:1:4 @ and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

noyes@Romans:1:5 @ through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;

noyes@Romans:1:6 @ among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;

noyes@Romans:1:7 @ to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@Romans:1:8 @ In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

noyes@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

noyes@Romans:1:10 @ supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming to you.

noyes@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;

noyes@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

noyes@Romans:1:13 @ But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.

noyes@Romans:1:14 @ I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.

noyes@Romans:1:15 @ So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.

noyes@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.

noyes@Romans:1:17 @ For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

noyes@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.

noyes@Romans:1:19 @ Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.

noyes@Romans:1:20 @ For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse.

noyes@Romans:1:21 @ Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;

noyes@Romans:1:22 @ professing to be wise, they became fools,

noyes@Romans:1:23 @ and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four–footed beasts and creeping things.

noyes@Romans:1:24 @ Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;

noyes@Romans:1:25 @ because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

noyes@Romans:1:26 @ For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,

noyes@Romans:1:27 @ and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

noyes@Romans:1:28 @ And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;

noyes@Romans:1:29 @ being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,

noyes@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,

noyes@Romans:1:31 @ senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;

noyes@Romans:1:32 @ who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do them.

noyes@Romans:2:1 @ Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man that judgest, whoever thou art. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

noyes@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practise such things.

noyes@Romans:2:3 @ And dost thou suppose, O man, who art judging those who do such things, and art thyself doing the same, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God?

noyes@Romans:2:4 @ Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?

noyes@Romans:2:5 @ But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God,

noyes@Romans:2:6 @ who will render to every one according to his works;

noyes@Romans:2:7 @ everlasting life to those who by patient continuance in well–doing seek for glory, and honor, and incorruption;

noyes@Romans:2:8 @ but to those who are contentious, and disobedient to the truth; but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and indignation.

noyes@Romans:2:9 @ Tribulation and distress will be upon every soul of man whose works are evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

noyes@Romans:2:10 @ but glory, honor, and peace, to every one whoso works are good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

noyes@Romans:2:11 @ For there is no respect of persons with God.

noyes@Romans:2:12 @ For as many as have sinned without a law, will also perish without a law; and as many as have sinned under a law, will be judged by a law,

noyes@Romans:2:13 @ for it is not the hearers of a law who are righteous before God, but the doers of a law will be accounted righteous; ––

noyes@Romans:2:14 @ for when the gentiles, who have no law, do by nature what is required by the Law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

noyes@Romans:2:15 @ since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them; ––

noyes@Romans:2:16 @ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to the gospel which I have preached.

noyes@Romans:2:17 @ But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on the Law, and makest thy boast of God,

noyes@Romans:2:18 @ and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law;

noyes@Romans:2:19 @ and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

noyes@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of those who lack wisdom, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law,––

noyes@Romans:2:21 @ dost thou then who teachest another, not teach thyself? Thou who proclaimest that others should not steal, dost thou steal?

noyes@Romans:2:22 @ Dost thou who forbiddest to commit adultery, thyself commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

noyes@Romans:2:23 @ Dost thou who boastest of the Law, dishonor God by breaking the Law?

noyes@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, "the name of God is on your account blasphemed among the gentiles."

noyes@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

noyes@Romans:2:26 @ If then he who is uncircumcised keep the precepts of the Law, shall not he though uncircumcised be regarded as circumcised?

noyes@Romans:2:27 @ Yea, those who are by nature uncircumcised, if they perform the law, will judge thee, who having a written Law and circumcision, art a breaker of the Law.

noyes@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision, which is outward, in the flesh;

noyes@Romans:2:29 @ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

noyes@Romans:3:1 @ What then is the advantage of the Jew? or what the benefit of circumcision?

noyes@Romans:3:2 @ Great, every way. In the first place, because they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

noyes@Romans:3:3 @ For what? If some were unfaithful, shall their unfaithfulness make God unfaithful?

noyes@Romans:3:4 @ Far be it! yea, let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, "That thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art arraigned."

noyes@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serve to display the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicteth punishment? (I am speaking as men do.)

noyes@Romans:3:6 @ Far be it! For then how shall God judge the world?

noyes@Romans:3:7 @ For if, through my being false, the truth of God hath been more abundantly manifested to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

noyes@Romans:3:8 @ And why do you not say, as some slanderously charge us with saying, Let us do evil, that good may come? The condemnation of such men is just.

noyes@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we better than others? By no means! For we have already brought a charge both against Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

noyes@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

noyes@Romans:3:11 @ there is none that hath understanding, there is none that diligently seeketh God;

noyes@Romans:3:12 @ they have all turned aside from the right way, they have become worthless together; there is none that doeth good, not even one.

noyes@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have practised deceit. The poison of asps is under their lips.

noyes@Romans:3:14 @ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

noyes@Romans:3:15 @ Swift are their feet to shed blood;

noyes@Romans:3:16 @ destruction and misery are in their ways;

noyes@Romans:3:17 @ and the way of peace they know not.

noyes@Romans:3:18 @ There is no fear of God before their eyes."

noyes@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the Law saith, it saith to those who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become subject to condemnation before God.

noyes@Romans:3:20 @ Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin.

noyes@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony,

noyes@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction.

noyes@Romans:3:23 @ For all have sinned, and fail of obtaining the glory which cometh from God;

noyes@Romans:3:24 @ being accepted as righteous freely, by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

noyes@Romans:3:25 @ whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times;

noyes@Romans:3:26 @ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.

noyes@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith.

noyes@Romans:3:28 @ We conclude therefore, that a man is accepted as righteous through faith, without the works of the Law.

noyes@Romans:3:29 @ Or is God of Jews alone? Is he not also the God of gentiles? Yea, of gentiles also.

noyes@Romans:3:30 @ Seeing there is but one God, who will accept the circumcised as righteous by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

noyes@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then make void the Law through faith? Far be it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

noyes@Romans:4:1 @ What advantage then shall we say that Abraham our father had as to the flesh?

noyes@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was accepted as righteous through works, he hath ground of boasting. But he hath no ground of boasting before God.

noyes@Romans:4:3 @ For what saith the scripture? "Abraham had faith in God, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness."

noyes@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him that performeth works, the reward is not accounted a matter of grace, but of debt;

noyes@Romans:4:5 @ but to him who without performing works hath faith in him who accepteth as righteous one that hath been ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness;

noyes@Romans:4:6 @ as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works:

noyes@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

noyes@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin."

noyes@Romans:4:9 @ Doth this blessedness belong to the circumcised alone, or to the uncircumcised also? For we are saying that Abraham’s faith was accounted as righteousness.

noyes@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it so accounted? After his circumcision, or while he was uncircumcised? Not after he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.

noyes@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also;

noyes@Romans:4:12 @ and that he might be the father of the circumcised, who are not circumcised merely, but who tread in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while yet uncircumcised.

noyes@Romans:4:13 @ For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

noyes@Romans:4:14 @ For if they that are of the Law are heirs, then faith becometh a vain thing, and the promise is made of no effect.

noyes@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law is the cause of wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

noyes@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore the inheritance was made to depend on faith, that it might be a matter of grace; that the promise might be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is under the Law, but to that also which hath the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

noyes@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations") in the sight of that God whom he believed, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

noyes@Romans:4:18 @ For he had confident hope in that which was past hope, that he should become a father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, "Thus shall thy offspring be;"

noyes@Romans:4:19 @ and not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body which had become dead, he being about a hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah’s womb;

noyes@Romans:4:20 @ nor did he waver in respect to the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

noyes@Romans:4:21 @ being fully convinced, that what he hath promised, he is able also to perform.

noyes@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

noyes@Romans:4:23 @ And that it was so accounted was not written for his sake alone,

noyes@Romans:4:24 @ but for our sakes also, to whom it will be so accounted through our faith in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

noyes@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up on account of our trespasses, and raised from the dead that we might be accepted as righteous.

noyes@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore being accepted as righteous through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

noyes@Romans:5:2 @ through whom also we have had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.

noyes@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance,

noyes@Romans:5:4 @ and endurance proof, and proof hope;

noyes@Romans:5:5 @ and hope will not disappoint us; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath been given to us.

noyes@Romans:5:6 @ For while we were yet without strength, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

noyes@Romans:5:7 @ Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare to die.

noyes@Romans:5:8 @ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

noyes@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, being now accepted as righteous through his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath.

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

noyes@Romans:5:11 @ and not this only, but also having joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

noyes@Romans:5:12 @ So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus came through unto all men, because all sinned––

noyes@Romans:5:13 @ (for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to one’s account when there is no law.

noyes@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed; who is a type of him who was to come.––

noyes@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.

noyes@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences.

noyes@Romans:5:17 @ For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)––

noyes@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life.

noyes@Romans:5:19 @ For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous.

noyes@Romans:5:20 @ Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;

noyes@Romans:5:21 @ that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

noyes@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?

noyes@Romans:6:2 @ God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?

noyes@Romans:6:3 @ Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?

noyes@Romans:6:4 @ We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

noyes@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;

noyes@Romans:6:6 @ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;

noyes@Romans:6:7 @ for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.

noyes@Romans:6:8 @ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

noyes@Romans:6:9 @ since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.

noyes@Romans:6:10 @ For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

noyes@Romans:6:11 @ Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

noyes@Romans:6:12 @ Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

noyes@Romans:6:13 @ nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

noyes@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

noyes@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!

noyes@Romans:6:16 @ Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?

noyes@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;

noyes@Romans:6:18 @ and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.

noyes@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.

noyes@Romans:6:20 @ For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.

noyes@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

noyes@Romans:6:22 @ But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end.

noyes@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is everlasting life, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

noyes@Romans:7:1 @ Know ye not, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who are acquainted with the Law,) that the Law hath dominion over a man only as long as he liveth?

noyes@Romans:7:2 @ For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is released from the law which bound her to him.

noyes@Romans:7:3 @ So then, if while her husband is living she connect herself with another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband die, she is no longer bound by that law, so that she will not be an adulteress, though she connect herself with another man.

noyes@Romans:7:4 @ So then, my brethren, ye also were slain to the Law through the body of Christ, that ye might be connected with another, even with him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

noyes@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the affections of sins, which were through the Law, were working in our members to bear fruit unto death.

noyes@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are delivered from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, that we might serve in the new life of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the letter.

noyes@Romans:7:7 @ What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet."

noyes@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, seizing the opportunity, wrought in me by means of the commandment all manner of sinful desire; for without the Law sin is dead.

noyes@Romans:7:9 @ And I, apart from the Law, was once alive; but when the commandment came, sin came to life again, and I died;

noyes@Romans:7:10 @ and the very commandment whose design was life, I found to issue in death.

noyes@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, seizing the opportunity, deceived me through the commandment, and through it slew me.

noyes@Romans:7:12 @ So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and right, and good.

noyes@Romans:7:13 @ Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! but sin; that it might become manifest as sin, causing death to me by means of that which is good; that sin by means of the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

noyes@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, a slave sold to sin.

noyes@Romans:7:15 @ For I know not what I do. For I do not what I would, but I do what I hate.

noyes@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do what I would not, I assent to the Law that it is good.

noyes@Romans:7:17 @ Now, however, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

noyes@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good thing; for to desire is present with me, but not to perform that which is good.

noyes@Romans:7:19 @ For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

noyes@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do what I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

noyes@Romans:7:21 @ I find then that there is a law to me, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.

noyes@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the Law of God, as to the inward man;

noyes@Romans:7:23 @ but I perceive another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

noyes@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?

noyes@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I, the same person, with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

noyes@Romans:8:1 @ There is then now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life set me free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

noyes@Romans:8:3 @ For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done, who on account of sin sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and passed sentence of condemnation on sin in the flesh;

noyes@Romans:8:4 @ so that what is required by the Law might be accomplished in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

noyes@Romans:8:5 @ For they who are according to the flesh have their mind on the things of the flesh; but they who are according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit.

noyes@Romans:8:6 @ For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

noyes@Romans:8:7 @ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it doth not submit itself to the Law of God, neither indeed can it.

noyes@Romans:8:8 @ And they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

noyes@Romans:8:9 @ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any one hath to not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

noyes@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

noyes@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

noyes@Romans:8:12 @ So then, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

noyes@Romans:8:13 @ For if ye live according to the flesh, ye are sure to die; but if by the Spirit ye make an end of the deeds of the body, ye will live.

noyes@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God.

noyes@Romans:8:15 @ For ye did not receive the spirit of bondage so as to be again in fear; but ye received the spirit of adopted children, whereby we cry, Abba, Father!

noyes@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God;

noyes@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and fellow–heirs with Christ; if indeed we are suffering with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

noyes@Romans:8:18 @ For I esteem the sufferings of the present time as of no account, when compared with the glory which is about to be revealed to us.

noyes@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

noyes@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was brought into subjection to vanity not of its own will, but by reason of him who put it into subjection,

noyes@Romans:8:21 @ in hope that even the creation itself will be set free from the bondage of corruption and brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

noyes@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole creation is together groaning and suffering the pains of labor, up to this time;

noyes@Romans:8:23 @ and not only so, but even we ourselves also, though having the first–fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption as sons, for the redemption of our body.

noyes@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved only in hope. But hope which is seen is not hope; how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

noyes@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for that which we do not see, then do we with patience wait for it.

noyes@Romans:8:26 @ In like manner the Spirit also helpeth our weakness; for we know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedeth with groans which cannot be expressed in words.

noyes@Romans:8:27 @ But he that searcheth the hearts knoweth the mind of the Spirit, because it intercedeth for the holy according to the will of God.

noyes@Romans:8:28 @ We know moreover that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

noyes@Romans:8:29 @ For he determined beforehand that those whom he foreknew should be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first–born among many brethren.

noyes@Romans:8:30 @ And those whom he before appointed, he also called; and those whom he called, he also accepted as righteous; and those whom he accepted as righteous, he also glorified.

noyes@Romans:8:31 @ What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

noyes@Romans:8:32 @ He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

noyes@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring any charge against the chosen of God? God is he who accepteth them as righteous.

noyes@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he that condemneth? Christ is he that died, yea rather, who rose again, who is also at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

noyes@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ for us? Shall affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?

noyes@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for slaughter."

noyes@Romans:8:37 @ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

noyes@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded, that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

noyes@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God for us, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

noyes@Romans:9:1 @ I speak truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that

noyes@Romans:9:2 @ I have great grief and unceasing anguish in my heart.

noyes@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish to be myself accursed and cast out from Christ in behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen as to the flesh;

noyes@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, and the promises;

noyes@Romans:9:5 @ whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! Amen.

noyes@Romans:9:6 @ Not as though the word of God hath failed; for not all they that are of Israel are Israel;

noyes@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but, "Thy offspring shall be reckoned from Isaac."

noyes@Romans:9:8 @ That is, not the children by natural descent are children of God, but the children to whom the promise is made are accounted as the offspring.

noyes@Romans:9:9 @ For the word of promise is this: "At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."

noyes@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man, our father Isaac,

noyes@Romans:9:11 @ before the children were born, or had done any thing good or evil, to the end that God’s purpose according to election might stand, not depending on works, but on the will of him that calleth,

noyes@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The elder shall serve the younger:"

noyes@Romans:9:13 @ as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

noyes@Romans:9:14 @ What then shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!

noyes@Romans:9:15 @ For he saith to Moses, "On whom I have mercy, on him will I have mercy; and on whom I have compassion, on him will I have compassion."

noyes@Romans:9:16 @ So then it dependeth not on him that willeth, nor on him that runneth, but on God who showeth mercy.

noyes@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture saith to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show forth my power in thee, and that my name might be made known in all the earth."

noyes@Romans:9:18 @ So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and hardeneth whom he will.

noyes@Romans:9:19 @ Hence thou wilt say to me, Why then doth he still find fault? for who resisteth his will?

noyes@Romans:9:20 @ Nay but, O man, who art thou that makest answer to God? Shall the thing that is wrought say to the workman, Why hast thou made me thus?

noyes@Romans:9:21 @ Hath not the potter a right out of the same lump of clay to make one vessel for an honorable use, and another for a dishonorable?

noyes@Romans:9:23 @ purposing also to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,

noyes@Romans:9:24 @ whom he also called, even us, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the gentiles?

noyes@Romans:9:25 @ as he also saith in Hosea, "I will call that my people, which was not my people; and her beloved, that was not beloved.

noyes@Romans:9:26 @ And it shall be, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called sons of the living God."

noyes@Romans:9:27 @ But Isaiah crieth out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.

noyes@Romans:9:28 @ For he is accomplishing his word and speedily fulfilling it in righteousness; for a speedily fulfilled word will the Lord execute upon the earth."

noyes@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah hath said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah."

noyes@Romans:9:30 @ What then shall we say? That the gentiles, who did not strive after righteousness, obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith;

noyes@Romans:9:31 @ while Israel, which strove after a law of righteousness, did not attain to a law of righteousness.

noyes@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not strive for it by faith, but as being by works. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling;

noyes@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame."

noyes@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved.

noyes@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

noyes@Romans:10:3 @ For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.

noyes@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the Law, so that every one that believeth may obtain righteousness.

noyes@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law: "The man that hath done these things shall live by them."

noyes@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, "Who shall ascend into heaven?" that is, to bring Christ down.

noyes@Romans:10:7 @ Or, "Who shall descend into the abyss?" that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.

noyes@Romans:10:8 @ But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart;" that is, the word concerning faith, which we preach;

noyes@Romans:10:9 @ for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

noyes@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.

noyes@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture saith, "Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame."

noyes@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.

noyes@Romans:10:13 @ For "every one who calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

noyes@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

noyes@Romans:10:15 @ and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"

noyes@Romans:10:16 @ But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed what he hath heard from us?"

noyes@Romans:10:17 @ Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

noyes@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, "Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

noyes@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Hath not Israel had knowledge? First, Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation, I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people."

noyes@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, "I was found by those who sought me not, I became known to those who inquired not for me."

noyes@Romans:10:21 @ But concerning Israel he saith, "All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people."

noyes@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

noyes@Romans:11:2 @ God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel:

noyes@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life."

noyes@Romans:11:4 @ But what saith the answer of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

noyes@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.

noyes@Romans:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?

noyes@Romans:11:7 @ What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

noyes@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day."

noyes@Romans:11:9 @ And David saith, "Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling–block, and a recompense to them;

noyes@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway."

noyes@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation.

noyes@Romans:11:12 @ But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?

noyes@Romans:11:13 @ For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office,

noyes@Romans:11:14 @ that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

noyes@Romans:11:15 @ For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead?

noyes@Romans:11:16 @ And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches.

noyes@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olive–tree,

noyes@Romans:11:18 @ boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.

noyes@Romans:11:19 @ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

noyes@Romans:11:20 @ Be it so. It was for their unbelief that they were broken off, and thou standest through thy faith; be not high–minded, but fear.

noyes@Romans:11:21 @ For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.

noyes@Romans:11:22 @ Behold then the goodness and the severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.

noyes@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.

noyes@Romans:11:24 @ For if thou hast been cut off from an olive–tree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olive–tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olive–stock?

noyes@Romans:11:25 @ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.

noyes@Romans:11:26 @ And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

noyes@Romans:11:27 @ And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins."

noyes@Romans:11:28 @ In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but in regard to God’s choice, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

noyes@Romans:11:29 @ For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.

noyes@Romans:11:30 @ For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

noyes@Romans:11:31 @ so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.

noyes@Romans:11:32 @ For God delivered up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

noyes@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!

noyes@Romans:11:34 @ For "who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?"

noyes@Romans:11:35 @ or "who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?"

noyes@Romans:11:36 @ For from him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

noyes@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well–pleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship;

noyes@Romans:12:2 @ and be not conformed to the fashion of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may learn by experience what is the will of God, what is good, and well–pleasing, and perfect.

noyes@Romans:12:3 @ For through the grace given to me I warn every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath imparted to each.

noyes@Romans:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many members, and the members have not all the same office,

noyes@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, form one body in Christ, and each of us is a member of it in common with the rest.

noyes@Romans:12:6 @ Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

noyes@Romans:12:7 @ or if service, let us attend to the service; he that teacheth, let him attend to teaching;

noyes@Romans:12:8 @ or he that exhorteth, to exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that presideth over others, with diligence; he that doeth deeds of mercy, with cheerfulness.

noyes@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.

noyes@Romans:12:10 @ In brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in honor, give each other the preference.

noyes@Romans:12:11 @ Be not backward in zeal; be fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.

noyes@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer.

noyes@Romans:12:13 @ Relieve the wants of the holy; be given to hospitality.

noyes@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

noyes@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

noyes@Romans:12:16 @ Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

noyes@Romans:12:17 @ Render to no one evil for evil; have regard to what is honorable in the sight of all men.

noyes@Romans:12:18 @ If it be possible, as far as dependeth on you, be at peace with all men.

noyes@Romans:12:19 @ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather make room for wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

noyes@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore, "if thy enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head."

noyes@Romans:12:21 @ Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

noyes@Romans:13:1 @ Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God.

noyes@Romans:13:2 @ He therefore that setteth himself against the authority resisteth what God hath ordained; and they a who resist will bring upon themselves judgment.

noyes@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the government? Do that which is good, and thou wilt have praise from it;

noyes@Romans:13:4 @ for the ruler is God’s servant to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is God’s servant, an avenger to inflict wrath upon him that doeth evil.

noyes@Romans:13:5 @ It is necessary therefore to submit, not only because of the wrath, but also for your conscience’ sake.

noyes@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very business.

noyes@Romans:13:7 @ Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.

noyes@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything but brotherly love; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the Law.

noyes@Romans:13:9 @ For these, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet," and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

noyes@Romans:13:10 @ Love worketh no ill to one’s neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

noyes@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us then throw off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light.

noyes@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife and envy;

noyes@Romans:14:10 @ But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? And thou, too, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment–seat of God.

noyes@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall give praise to God."

noyes@Romans:14:12 @ So then every one of us will give account of himself to God.

noyes@Romans:14:13 @ Let us then no longer judge one another; but let this rather be your judgment, not to put a stumbling–block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother’s way.

noyes@Romans:14:14 @ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

noyes@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have thought it good to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

noyes@Romans:16:6 @ Salute Mary, who labored much for us.

noyes@Romans:16:7 @ Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow–prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

noyes@Romans:16:9 @ Salute Urbanus, our fellow–laborer in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

noyes@Romans:16:15 @ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

noyes@Romans:16:16 @ Salute each other with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

noyes@Romans:16:17 @ But I exhort your brethren, to mark those who are causing divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them.

noyes@Romans:16:18 @ For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

noyes@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience hath become known to all. Over you, then, I rejoice; but I would have you wise as to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil.

noyes@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

noyes@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow–laborer, salutes you, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater my kinsmen.

noyes@Romans:16:22 @ I Tertius, who wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord.

noyes@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius my host, and the host of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus, the brother.

noyes@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

noyes@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which for eternal ages was unrevealed,

noyes@Romans:16:26 @ but is now made manifest, and through the writings of the prophets, by the command of the everlasting God, is made known to all the nations to bring them to obedience to the faith,––

noyes@Romans:16:27 @ to God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever! Amen.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

noyes@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:3 @ grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge,

noyes@1Corinthians:1:6 @ as the testimony of Christ was established among you;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:10 @ But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul?

noyes@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:15 @ that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:16 @ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning."

noyes@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

noyes@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:22 @ since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling–block, and to gentiles foolishness,

noyes@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:27 @ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no flesh might glory before God.

noyes@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;

noyes@1Corinthians:1:31 @ that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

noyes@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:6 @ But we do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:7 @ but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God determined on before the world was, for our glory;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:8 @ which none of the rulers of this world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:9 @ but, as it is written: "The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and which have not entered into the heart of man, the great things which God hath prepared for those that love him."

noyes@1Corinthians:2:10 @ For God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the depths of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who among men knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of the man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no one but the Spirit of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of God;

noyes@1Corinthians:2:13 @ which things we also speak, not in words taught by man’s wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, connecting what is spiritual l with what is spiritual.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But he that is spiritual judgeth of all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

noyes@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:1 @ I also, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as those who are not spiritual, as to babes in Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it. Nor indeed are ye able even now;

noyes@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for ye are yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men?

noyes@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not men?

noyes@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but ministers through whom ye believed, and that as the Lord gave to each?

noyes@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then, neither he that planteth nor he that watereth is anything, but God that giveth the growth.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:8 @ And he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and each will receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God’s fellow–laborers; ye are God’s field, ye are God’s building.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God bestowed on me, I, as a skilful master–builder, have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed, how he buildeth thereon.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:12 @ But if any one build upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

noyes@1Corinthians:3:13 @ the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will show it; because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove what every one’s work is.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any one built thereon remaineth, he will receive reward;

noyes@1Corinthians:3:15 @ if any one’s work shall be burned up, he will lose the reward; but he will be saved himself, yet as one escaping through fire.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Know ye not, that ye are God’s temple, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

noyes@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one defaceth the temple of God, God will deface him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself; if any one thinketh himself wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

noyes@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: "He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;"

noyes@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again: "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."

noyes@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

noyes@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come,––all are yours;

noyes@1Corinthians:3:23 @ and ye are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:1 @ Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Here moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human tribunal; nay, I do not even judge myself;

noyes@1Corinthians:4:4 @ for though I am conscious to myself of nothing wrong, yet not by this am I cleared of blame; but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of men’s hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:6 @ And these things, brethren, I have transferred in a figure to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us ye may learn not to go beyond what is written, that no one of you may pride himself in one against another.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? But if thou didst receive it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

noyes@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Already ye are full; already ye are rich; without us ye have become kings; and I would indeed ye were kings, that we also might reign with you.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles as lowest, as men sentenced to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are in honor, but we are despised.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even to this very hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling–place,

noyes@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and labor, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;

noyes@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being slandered, we exhort; we have become as the filth of the world, the off–scouring of all things until now.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I write not these things to shame you, but I am warning you as my beloved children.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though ye have ten thousand teachers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I exhort you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this end I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will put you in mind of my ways in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every church.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if it be the Lord’s will, and will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power;

noyes@1Corinthians:4:20 @ for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

noyes@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What will ye? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in love, and the spirit of mildness?

noyes@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is everywhere reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, so that he that committed this deed might be separated from among you.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, for my part, though absent in the body, yet present in the spirit have already determined, as if I were present with you, respecting him who thus wrought this deed,

noyes@1Corinthians:5:4 @ in the name of our Lord Jesus, when you and my spirit with you are assembled together, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

noyes@1Corinthians:5:5 @ to deliver such a man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

noyes@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So then let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in that letter, not to keep company with fornicators;

noyes@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must go out of the world.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But this is what I wrote you, not to keep company with any one called a brother, if he be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even to eat.

noyes@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within?

noyes@1Corinthians:5:13 @ But those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Doth any one of you, who hath a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the holy?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Or do ye not know, that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in causes of the least importance?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Know ye not, that we shall pass judgment upon angels? How much more, concerning affairs of this life?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then ye have any causes relating to this life, set them to judge who are of no repute in the church.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Nay, brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now therefore it is altogether an evil among you, that ye have suits against each other. Why do ye not rather submit to wrong? Why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But ye yourselves wrong, and defraud, and that too your brethren.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

noyes@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:12 @ All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Meats are for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will make an end of both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

noyes@1Corinthians:6:14 @ and God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

noyes@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? "For the two," saith he, "shall become one flesh;"

noyes@1Corinthians:6:17 @ but he that is connected with the Lord is one spirit with him.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man may commit, is apart from the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

noyes@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Know ye not, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own?

noyes@1Corinthians:6:20 @ For ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now as to the matters about which ye wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:2 @ but on account of the commonness of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband render to his wife her due; and so also the wife to her husband.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife hath not the disposal of her own body, but her husband; and so also the husband hath not the disposal of his own body, but his wife.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Defraud not one another, except by agreement for a time, that ye may have a season for prayer; and be together again, that Satan may not tempt you through your incontinence.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I say this by way of permission, not command.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I would that all men were as I myself; but every one hath his own gift from God, one man this, and another that.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say also to the unmarried and the widows, it is good for them to remain as I am;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:9 @ but if they cannot control themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to those who are married it is my command, yet not mine, but the Lord’s: Let not the wife separate herself from her husband,

noyes@1Corinthians:7:11 @ and if she have separated herself let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she be satisfied to dwell with him, let him not put her away;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:13 @ and if a wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he be satisfied to dwell with her, let her not put her husband away.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband hath been made holy by his wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been made holy by the brother; otherwise were your children unclean, but, as it is, they are holy.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving separateth himself, let him separate himself; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God hath called you to be in peace.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how dost thou know, O wife, but that thou mayst save thy husband? or how dost thou know, O husband, but that thou mayst save thy wife?

noyes@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But let every one continue to walk in the lot which the Lord appointed him, in the condition in which God called him. And this direction I give in all the churches.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one called being circumcised, let him not become as if uncircumcised; hath any one been called in uncircumcision, let him not become circumcised.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let every one remain in the same calling in which he was called.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Wast thou called being a slave, care not for it; but even if thou canst be made free, use it rather.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he that was called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord’s freeman. In like manner the freeman, who is called, is Christ’s slave.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:23 @ Ye were bought with a price; become not the slaves of men.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:24 @ In that state, brethren, in which he was called, let every one remain with God.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think, then, that it is well, on account of the impending distress, for a man to remain as he is.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Art thou bound to a wife, seek not to be loosed from her; art thou loosed from a wife, do not seek for one.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if thou hast married, thou hast committed no sin; and if a virgin hath married, she hath committed no sin. Such, however, will have trouble in the flesh, which I desire to spare you.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is short; that both they that have wives may be as though they had none;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and they that use this world as not abusing it; for the outward condition of this world is passing away;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:32 @ and I would have you free from anxious cares. He that is unmarried careth about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

noyes@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but he that is married careth about the things of the world, how to please his wife.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin; the unmarried woman careth about the things of the Lord, to be holy, both in body and in spirit; but she that is married careth about the things of the world, how to please her husband.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I say for your own profit; not to cast a noose over you, but with a view to what is becoming, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any one thinketh that he behaveth improperly in respect to his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and if it must be so, let him do what he will, he committeth no sin; let them marry.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But if any one is settled in his purpose, and is under no necessity, but is free to act as he will, and hath determined in his heart to keep his own virgin daughter, he doeth well.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; and he that doth not give her in marriage doeth better.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:39 @ The wife is bound to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband die, she is free to marry whom she will, only in the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remain as she is, in my opinion; and I too think that I have the Spirit of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning the things offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth;

noyes@1Corinthians:8:2 @ if any one think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, as he ought to know;

noyes@1Corinthians:8:3 @ but if any one love God, the same is known by Him.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Concerning the eating of the things offered in sacrifice to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;

noyes@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some, with a conscience directed toward the idol even now, eat of it as a thing offered in sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling–block to the weak.

noyes@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat the things offered to idols?

noyes@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serveth as a soldier at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard without eating its fruit? Or who tendeth a flock and doth not eat of the milk of the flock?

noyes@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Is it on man’s authority that I am saying these things, or doth not the Law too say the same?

noyes@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses: "Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while treading out grain." Is it for oxen that God careth?

noyes@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or doth he say it altogether on our account? On our account, no doubt, it was written, that he who plougheth ought to plough in hope, and that he who thrasheth should do it in the hope of partaking.

noyes@1Corinthians:9:14 @ In like manner also did the Lord ordain that they who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

noyes@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used no right of this kind; nor have I written thus that anything of this kind should be done for me; for it were better for me to die, than that any one should take from me what I glory in.

noyes@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For in preaching the gospel, I have nothing to glory in; for I am under a necessity to do so; yea, woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!

noyes@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, still I have been intrusted with a stewardship.

noyes@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? It is that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel free of charge, that I use not to the full my right as a preacher of the gospel.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food,

noyes@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock that accompanied them; and the rock was Christ;

noyes@1Corinthians:10:5 @ but with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things were warnings for us, in order that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And do not ye become idolaters, as some of them did; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport."

noyes@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them did, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and were destroyed by the serpents.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:10 @ And do not ye murmur, as some of them murmured, and perished by the Destroyer.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as warnings, and were recorded for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages have come.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

noyes@1Corinthians:10:17 @ For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel by natural descent. Have not those who eat of the sacrifices, communion with the altar?

noyes@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I say then? That what is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything?

noyes@1Corinthians:10:20 @ Nay, but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:21 @ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and the table of demons.

noyes@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

noyes@1Corinthians:10:23 @ All things are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all things are not edifying.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man that prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man;

noyes@1Corinthians:11:8 @ for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man;

noyes@1Corinthians:11:9 @ and the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this cause the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:11 @ But neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things from God.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge in your own selves; is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered?

noyes@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him,

noyes@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her? for her hair is given for a covering.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But I give you this charge, not praising you, because ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it;

noyes@1Corinthians:11:19 @ for there must be also parties among you, that they who are approved may also become manifest among you.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When ye come together then in the same place, there is no eating of the Lord’s supper.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For, when ye eat, every one taketh before any distribution his own supper, and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received of the Lord, what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf,

noyes@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In like manner also the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant, in my blood; this do, as oft as ye drink, in remembrance of me.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye show forth the Lord’s death, till he come.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So that whoever eateth the bread or drinketh the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty with respect to the body and the blood of the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup;

noyes@1Corinthians:11:29 @ for he that eateth and drinketh eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, if he do not discern the body.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and some are falling asleep.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged;

noyes@1Corinthians:11:32 @ but when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

noyes@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:2 @ Ye know, that when ye were gentiles, ye were carried away to dumb idols, as ye happened to be led;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:3 @ wherefore I give you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God saith, Accursed be Jesus; and that no one can say, Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:5 @ and there are diversities of services, but the same Lord;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:6 @ and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all things in all.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the good of others.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the one Spirit;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another divers kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But all these worketh the one and self–same Spirit, allotting to each one severally as it will.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and were all made to drink one Spirit.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body also is not one member, but many.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God set the members every one of them in the body, as it pleased him.

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

noyes@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now there are, indeed, many members, but one body.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Nay, still more, those members of the body which seem to be weak, are necessary;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and what we think to be less honorable parts of the body, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our unseemly parts have more abundant seemliness;

noyes@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our seemly parts have no need. But God so put the body together, as to give special honor to that part which lacked,

noyes@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And so if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

noyes@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members individually. And

noyes@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God appointed some in the church to be, in the first place, apostles, in the second place, prophets, in the third place, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, those of helping and of governing, divers kinds of tongues. Are all apostles?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

noyes@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And furthermore I show you by far the most excellent way.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love suffereth long, is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up,

noyes@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never faileth; but whether there are prophesyings, they will come to an end; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

noyes@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part will be done away.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I had the feelings of a child, I thought as a child; since I have become a man, I have put away the things of the child.

noyes@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror, obscurely; but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Strive to possess love; and desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but especially that of prophesying.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he that speaketh in an tongue speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one heareth; but in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries;

noyes@1Corinthians:14:3 @ but he that prophesieth speaketh to men edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He that speaketh in an tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by teaching?

noyes@1Corinthians:14:7 @ And even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, if they make no distinction in the sounds, how shall that be known which is piped or harped?

noyes@1Corinthians:14:8 @ For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle?

noyes@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall that be known which is spoken? For ye will be speaking into the air.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and not one is without meaning.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be to him that speaketh a foreigner, and he that speaketh a foreigner to me.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So also ye, since ye are eager to possess spiritual gifts, be earnest to abound in them to the edification of the church.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Wherefore let him that speaketh in an tongue pray that he may interpret.

noyes@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God, I speak in an tongue more than ye all;

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

noyes@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now hath Christ risen from the dead, the first–fruits of them that have fallen asleep.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since through man came death, through man came also the resurrection of the dead.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But every one in his own order; Christ the first–fruits, afterward they that are Christ’s, at his coming.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign, "till he hath put all enemies under his feet."

noyes@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy, death, will be destroyed;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:27 @ for "he put all things under his feet." But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:28 @ And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:29 @ If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them?

noyes@1Corinthians:15:30 @ Why also do we stand in peril every hour?

noyes@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, by my glorying in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, "let us eat and drink, for to–morrow we die."

noyes@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Be not deceived; "evil communications corrupt good manners."

noyes@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Awake, as is your duty, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I say it to your shame.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come?

noyes@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Fool! that which thou sowest is not brought to life unless it die;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:37 @ and what thou sowest, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but a bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or of some of the other grains;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:38 @ but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body.

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

noyes@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:43 @ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:44 @ it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a life–giving spirit.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:46 @ But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly;

noyes@1Corinthians:15:49 @ and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:50 @ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed,

noyes@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:54 @ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

noyes@1Corinthians:15:55 @ "Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory?"

noyes@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the Law.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints, according to the directions which I gave to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:2 @ Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:4 @ and if it be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I may remain, or even spend the winter with you, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I may be going.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I am unwilling to see you now in passing; for I hope to stay some time with you if the Lord permit.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:8 @ But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a door hath been opened to me great and effective, and there are many adversaries.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he is laboring in the work of the Lord, as I am;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:11 @ let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:14 @ let all your doings be in love.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:15 @ And I exhort you, brethren,––ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first–fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy,––

noyes@1Corinthians:16:16 @ that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied;

noyes@1Corinthians:16:18 @ for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Pay regard then to those that are such.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

noyes@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love is with you all in Christ Jesus.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the holy who are in all Achaia:

noyes@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Fathers and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

noyes@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforteth us in all our distress, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any distress by the comfort wherewith we are ourselves comforted by God;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:5 @ for as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ doth our comfort also overflow.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:6 @ And whether we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation, which showeth its power in enabling you to bear patiently the same sufferings which we also endure; and our hope is steadfast in your behalf; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation,

noyes@2Corinthians:1:7 @ knowing that as ye are sharers in the sufferings, so also ye will be sharers in the comfort.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our distress which came upon us in Asia, that it was exceedingly heavy upon us beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:9 @ yea, we ourselves had within ourselves the sentence of death, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:10 @ who delivered us from such peril of death, and is delivering; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us,

noyes@2Corinthians:1:11 @ you also unitedly helping us by prayer, so that for this blessing bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many on your behalf.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and the sincerity which is of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or even acknowledge. And I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end,

noyes@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence it was my purpose to come to you before, that ye might receive a second benefit;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to go by way of you into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be forwarded on my way to Judaea.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Having, then, this purpose, did I act with levity? Or in my purposes do I resolve according to the flesh, that with me there should be now yea, yea, and now nay, nay?

noyes@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yea and nay.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not found yea and nay, but in him hath been found yea.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now he who maketh us with you steadfast in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he who also sealed us, and gave the Spirit as a pledge in our hearts.

noyes@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call upon God as a witness against my soul, that it was to spare you that I came no more to Corinth;

noyes@2Corinthians:1:24 @ not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy. For in respect to faith ye stand firm.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but he that is made sorrowful by me?

noyes@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote about this very matter, that I might not on my coming have sorrow from those who ought to gladden me, having confidence in all of you, that my joy is the joy of you all.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be made sorrowful, but that ye might know the exceeding love which I have for you.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one hath caused grief, he hath caused it not to me alone, but in a measure, not to be too severe on him, to all of you.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment, which was inflicted by the many;

noyes@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that on the contrary ye ought rather to forgive, and console him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end also I wrote, that I might know by putting it to the proof, whether ye are obedient in all things.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:10 @ But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ,

noyes@2Corinthians:2:11 @ that Satan might not gain an advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, and a door had been opened to me by the Lord,

noyes@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who always exhibiteth us in triumph in Christ, and manifesteth through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

noyes@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are to God a sweet odor of Christ among those who are being saved, and those who are perishing;

noyes@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the latter we are the odor of death, producing death; and to the former the odor of life, producing life. And who is sufficient for these things?

noyes@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not as the many, who adulterate the word of God; but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation from you?

noyes@2Corinthians:3:2 @ Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:3 @ since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:4 @ And such confidence as this have we through Christ toward God;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:5 @ not that we are able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who also gave us ability to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away,

noyes@2Corinthians:3:8 @ shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?

noyes@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Having therefore such hope, we use great plainness of speech;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:13 @ and do not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the end of that which was to be done away.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:15 @ but even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;

noyes@2Corinthians:3:16 @ but whenever it turneth to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

noyes@2Corinthians:3:18 @ But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, having this ministry through the mercy we received, we are not faint–hearted;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:2 @ but have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to them that perish,

noyes@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the God of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, so that they cannot behold the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your bond–servants for Jesus’ sake.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, that shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not of us;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:8 @ being troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:13 @ But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke," we also believe, and therefore speak;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise up us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sakes, that the grace abounding by means of the greater number may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:16 @ For which cause we are not faint–hearted; but though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

noyes@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us, in a higher and still higher degree, an everlasting weight of glory;

noyes@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are but for a time; but the things which are not seen are ever lasting.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that, if our earthly tent–habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;

noyes@2Corinthians:5:3 @ since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:6 @ We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

noyes@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage,

noyes@2Corinthians:5:8 @ and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all be made manifest before the judgment–seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward appearance, and not in heart.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died;

noyes@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

noyes@2Corinthians:5:19 @ seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:20 @ We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.

noyes@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become God’s righteousness in him.

noyes@2Corinthians:6:1 @ As fellow–workers, then, with him, we also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain;

noyes@2Corinthians:6:2 @ (for he saith: "In an accepted time I heard thee, and in the day of salvation I helped thee;" Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation;)

noyes@2Corinthians:6:3 @ giving no occasion for stumbling in anything, that the ministry may not be blamed;

noyes@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but as God’s ministers recommending ourselves in all things, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

noyes@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

noyes@2Corinthians:6:6 @ in pureness, in knowledge, in long–suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

noyes@2Corinthians:6:7 @ in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

noyes@2Corinthians:6:8 @ through honor and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and true;

noyes@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

noyes@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

noyes@2Corinthians:6:11 @ Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

noyes@2Corinthians:6:12 @ Ye have not a narrow place in my heart, but ye have a narrow place for me in yours.

noyes@2Corinthians:6:13 @ So then in return, I speak to you as children, let your hearts be enlarged.

noyes@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Be not strangely yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? Or what communion hath light with darkness?

noyes@2Corinthians:6:15 @ And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever?

noyes@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God said: "I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

noyes@2Corinthians:6:17 @ "Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean;" "and I will receive you,

noyes@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and will be to you a father, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

noyes@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Having then these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Receive us into your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have defrauded no one.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you; for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die with you and to live with you.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my confidence toward you, great is my glorying on your account; I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our trouble.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For indeed when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, that comforteth those who are brought low, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

noyes@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but by the comfort with which he was comforted in regard to you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal in my behalf; so that I rejoiced the more.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For though I caused you sorrow with the letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I perceive that that letter caused you sorrow, though it was but for a short time.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorrowful, but that your sorrow produced repentance. For the sorrow which ye felt had respect to God, that ye might in nothing receive injury from me.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For sorrow before God worketh repentance to salvation never to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold this very thing, that your sorrow had respect to God; what earnestness it wrought in you; yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what longing desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what readiness to punish! In every thing ye showed yourselves to be pure in the matter.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Although, then, I wrote to you, it was not on account of him that did the wrong, nor of him who suffered wrong; but that your earnestness for us might be made manifest to you in the sight of God.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted; but in our comfort we rejoiced still more on account of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all;

noyes@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if in anything I have boasted to him of you, I am not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting, which we made before Titus, was found to be truth;

noyes@2Corinthians:7:15 @ and his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

noyes@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice that in every thing I have confidence in you.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been bestowed in the churches of Macedonia;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:2 @ that under a great trial of distress the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty increased the riches of their liberality;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:3 @ for according to their power, I bear witness, and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

noyes@2Corinthians:8:4 @ begging of us with much entreaty the favor of sharing in the ministration to the saints;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:6 @ so that we urged Titus, that, as he had already made a beginning, so he would also finish among you this bounty also.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this exercise of liberality also.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by way of command, but by reason of the earnestness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And I only give an opinion in this matter. For this is expedient for you, who began before others, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now therefore perform the doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there be first the willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, not according to what he hath not.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For it is not that others may be eased, and you burdened,

noyes@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but to make an equality; at the present season your abundance meeting their deficiency, that their abundance may at another time meet your deficiency; that there may be equality;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written: "He that gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, had no lack."

noyes@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:17 @ for he accepted indeed the exhortation; but being very earnest, he went of his own accord to you.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the churches;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not that only, but who was also appointed by the churches as our fellow–traveler in the matter of this bounty, which is administered by us to the honor of the Lord himself, and of our ready mind;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:20 @ since we are careful of this, that no one should blame us in our management of this abundant liberality;

noyes@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we take forethought for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often in many things proved to be zealous, but now much more zealous through the great confidence which he hath in you.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As to Titus, he is my partner and fellow–laborer for you; as to our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Display to them, therefore, before the churches, the proof of your love, and of what we have boasted on your behalf.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:1 @ For concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness of mind, of which I boast in behalf of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was prepared a year ago; and your zeal stirred up the greater part of them.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I sent the brethren, that our boasting of you should not prove unfounded in this respect; that, as I said, ye may be prepared;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest, should the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be put to shame in respect to this confidence.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I thought it necessary therefore to exhort the brethren to go before to you, and make up beforehand your bounty, which was already announced, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not of covetousness.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But this there is to say: He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one, as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make every blessing abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:9 @ as it is written: "He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor; his righteousness remaineth for ever."

noyes@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now, he that ministereth seed to the sower, and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:11 @ while ye are enriched in everything to all liberality, which worketh out through us thanksgiving to God;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:12 @ for the ministration of this service not only supplieth the wants of the saints, but also overfloweth through many thanksgivings to God;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:13 @ while by the proof afforded by this ministration they glorify God for your obedience to your profession in regard to the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution in regard to them and in regard to all;

noyes@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while with supplication for you they long after you on account of the exceeding grace of God to you.

noyes@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I, who present indeed am lowly among you, but am bold toward you when absent;

noyes@2Corinthians:10:2 @ but I entreat you, that I may not when I am present be bold with that confidence wherewith I think of being bold towards some, who think of us as walking according to the flesh.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,

noyes@2Corinthians:10:4 @ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds,)

noyes@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down reasonings, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every purpose into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

noyes@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being in readiness to punish every disobedience, when the measure of your obedience shall be full.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Ye look at the outward appearance. If any one trusteth to himself that he belongeth to Christ, let him of himself consider this again, that as he belongeth to Christ, so also do we.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I should boast still more highly of our authority, which the Lord gave us for building you up, and not pulling you down, I should not be put to shame;

noyes@2Corinthians:10:9 @ that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For his letters, saith one, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a one count upon this, that such as we are in word by letters when absent, such will we be also in deed when present.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not venture to reckon ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, some of those who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast of things that are without our measure, but according to the measure of the line which God allotted us,––a measure to reach even to you.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we do not stretch ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you; (for as far as even to you did we come, in the gospel of Christ;)

noyes@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things that are without measure, in other men’s labors, but having hope, when your faith is increased, that our line will through you be still further extended,

noyes@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may preach the gospel in the regions beyond you; not boasting, in another’s line, of things made ready to our hand.

noyes@2Corinthians:10:17 @ But "he that boasteth, let him boast in the Lord."

noyes@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:1 @ Would that ye could bear with me in a little folly! and indeed ye do bear with me.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:3 @ but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from single–heartedness toward Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye did not receive, or another gospel, which ye did not accept, well might ye bear with it.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I suppose that I am in no respect behind the very foremost apostles.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:6 @ And though I am rude in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; but this did we in every respect manifest to you in all things.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without charge?

noyes@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, in order to do you service;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was present with you, and in want, I was a charge to no one; (for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied my wants;) and in every thing I kept myself and will keep myself from being burdensome to you.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth!

noyes@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who wish for an occasion, in order that in the matter of which they boast they may be found even as we.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder; for even Satan transformeth himself into an angel of light.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great thing, then, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one suppose me a fool; if otherwise, yet even as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of boasting.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will boast also.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:20 @ for ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one smites you on the face.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say it to my reproach, that we were weak; but in whatever any one is bold, (I speak in folly,) I am bold also.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abram’s offspring? So am I.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:24 @ of the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:25 @ thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the deep;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:26 @ by journeyings often; by perils of rivers, by perils of robbers, by perils from my countrymen, by perils from the heathen, by perils in the city, by perils in the wilderness, by perils in the sea, by perils among false brethren;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:27 @ by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides the other troubles, there is that which presseth upon me daily, the anxiety for all the churches.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is in danger of stumbling, and I do not burn?

noyes@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast of the things which belong to my weakness.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I am not lying.

noyes@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept guard over the city of the Damascenes, in order to apprehend me;

noyes@2Corinthians:11:33 @ and through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:1 @ It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago,––whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth,––such a one caught up even to the third heaven.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth,––

noyes@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For if I should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:8 @ In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me;

noyes@2Corinthians:12:9 @ and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?

noyes@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

noyes@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.

noyes@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

noyes@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;

noyes@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?

noyes@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not unapproved.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not in order that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as unapproved.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for, even your perfection.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this cause I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss.

noyes@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All the saints salute you.

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

noyes@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,––

noyes@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren that are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

noyes@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

noyes@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God our Father;

noyes@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever! Amen.

noyes@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel;

noyes@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not another; only there are certain persons who are troubling you, and seeking to change entirely the gospel of Christ.

noyes@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed!

noyes@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so I now say again, If any one preach a gospel to you contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed!

noyes@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Or am I endeavoring to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

noyes@Galatians:1:11 @ But I assure you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man;

noyes@Galatians:1:12 @ for I did not receive it from man nor was I taught it by any man, but it was revealed to me by Jesus Christ.

noyes@Galatians:1:13 @ For ye have heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism; that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and was destroying it,

noyes@Galatians:1:14 @ and made progress in Judaism beyond many of the same age with me in my nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

noyes@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased him who set me apart from my very birth, and called me through his grace,

noyes@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal his Son within me, that I might publish the glad tidings of him among the gentiles, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

noyes@Galatians:1:17 @ neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

noyes@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days;

noyes@Galatians:1:19 @ but no other of the apostles did I see, save James the brother of the Lord.

noyes@Galatians:1:20 @ Now as to what I am writing to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

noyes@Galatians:1:21 @ Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

noyes@Galatians:1:22 @ and I was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ;

noyes@Galatians:1:23 @ but they were only hearing that "He who was once our persecutor is now preaching the faith which he was once destroying";

noyes@Galatians:1:24 @ and they glorified God in me.

noyes@Galatians:2:1 @ Then, fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me.

noyes@Galatians:2:2 @ And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the gentiles; but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

noyes@Galatians:2:3 @ But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised;

noyes@Galatians:2:4 @ and that because of the false brethren stealthily brought in, who crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring into bondage;

noyes@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom not even for an hour did we yield by the required subjection, that the truth of the gospel might still remain with you.

noyes@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were reputed to be somewhat––whatever they were, it matters not to me, (God accepteth no man’s person,) for to me those in reputation communicated nothing new.

noyes@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, as Peter was with that to the circumcised,

noyes@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship to the circumcised, wrought also for me in behalf of the gentiles,)

noyes@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;

noyes@Galatians:2:10 @ only they wished us to remember the poor; which very thing I also was earnest to do.

noyes@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face; for he was condemned.

noyes@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he used to eat with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

noyes@Galatians:2:13 @ And the other Jews also dissembled with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

noyes@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of gentiles, and not that of the Jews, how is it that thou compellest the gentiles to keep the customs of the Jews?

noyes@Galatians:2:15 @ We are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the gentiles;

noyes@Galatians:2:16 @ but knowing that a man is not accepted as righteous by the works of the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus, we also have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted as righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be accepted as righteous.

noyes@Galatians:2:17 @ But while seeking to be accepted as righteous in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Far be it!

noyes@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I again build up what I pulled down, I make myself a transgressor.

noyes@Galatians:2:19 @ For I through the Law died to the Law, that I might live to God.

noyes@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ, and no longer do I live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

noyes@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness come through the Law, then did Christ die for nought.

noyes@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you? before whose eyes Jesus Christ was plainly set forth among you crucified.

noyes@Galatians:3:2 @ This only I desire to learn from you: Was it from the works of the Law that ye received the Spirit, or by the preaching of faith?

noyes@Galatians:3:3 @ Are ye so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, do ye now end with the flesh?

noyes@Galatians:3:4 @ Have ye suffered so much in vain? if indeed it be really in vain.

noyes@Galatians:3:5 @ Doth he then who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by the preaching of faith?

noyes@Galatians:3:6 @ Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness."

noyes@Galatians:3:7 @ Know then that they who have faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

noyes@Galatians:3:8 @ Moreover the Scripture, foreseeing that God was to accept the gentiles as righteous by faith, proclaimed beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

noyes@Galatians:3:9 @ So then they who have faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

noyes@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as rely on the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the Law, to do them."

noyes@Galatians:3:11 @ But further, that through the observance of the Law no one is accepted as righteous with God is evident; for "the righteous shall live by faith."

noyes@Galatians:3:12 @ And the Law hath nothing to do with faith; but, "He that hath done them shall live in them."

noyes@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,"––

noyes@Galatians:3:14 @ to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing promised to Abraham might come to the gentiles, that we through faith might receive the Spirit which was promised.

noyes@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I speak according to what is practised among men; no one sets aside even a human covenant, or makes additions to it, after it has been ratified.

noyes@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were made to Abraham and "to his offspring." He doth not say, "and to offsprings," as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, "and to thy offspring," which is Christ.

noyes@Galatians:3:17 @ And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;

noyes@Galatians:3:18 @ for if the inheritance cometh from the Law, it ceaseth to be the consequence of the promise; but to Abraham God gave it by promise.

noyes@Galatians:3:19 @ To what end then was the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise belongeth, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

noyes@Galatians:3:20 @ Now no mediator is a mediator of one; but God is one.

noyes@Galatians:3:21 @ Is then the Law against the promises of God? Far be it! For if a law had been given which was able to give life, righteousness would indeed have been by the Law;

noyes@Galatians:3:22 @ but the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

noyes@Galatians:3:23 @ But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed.

noyes@Galatians:3:24 @ So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;

noyes@Galatians:3:25 @ but faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

noyes@Galatians:3:26 @ For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

noyes@Galatians:3:27 @ for as many of you as were baptized into Christ, did put on Christ.

noyes@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus;

noyes@Galatians:3:29 @ and if ye belong to Christ, then are ye Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.

noyes@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in no respect from a bond–servant, though he is lord of all;

noyes@Galatians:4:2 @ but is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by the father.

noyes@Galatians:4:3 @ So also we, when we were children, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world;

noyes@Galatians:4:4 @ but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

noyes@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those under the Law, that we might be adopted as sons.

noyes@Galatians:4:6 @ And to show that ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!

noyes@Galatians:4:7 @ So then thou art no longer a bond–servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

noyes@Galatians:4:8 @ But at that time, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye were in slavery to those who in their nature are not gods;

noyes@Galatians:4:9 @ but now, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how is it that ye are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which ye wish to be again in bondage?

noyes@Galatians:4:10 @ Do ye observe days, and months, and times, and years?

noyes@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear for you, lest I may have bestowed upon you labor in vain.

noyes@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as ye are; ye injured me in nothing.

noyes@Galatians:4:13 @ Nay, ye know that it was on account of an infirmity of the flesh that I preached the gospel to you the former time,

noyes@Galatians:4:14 @ and my trial which was in my flesh ye did not despise nor spurn; but received me as an angel of God, yea, as Christ Jesus.

noyes@Galatians:4:15 @ How great then was your boasting of happiness! for I bear you witness, that if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.

noyes@Galatians:4:16 @ So then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

noyes@Galatians:4:17 @ They show a zeal for you, but not in honesty; yea, they wish to exclude you, that ye may be zealous for them.

noyes@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be an object of zeal in what is good always, and not only when I am present with you.

noyes@Galatians:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you,––

noyes@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish indeed to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in perplexity about you.

noyes@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?

noyes@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; the one by the bondwoman, the other by the freewoman.

noyes@Galatians:4:23 @ But the one by the bondwoman was born after the flesh; while the one by the freewoman was through the promise.

noyes@Galatians:4:24 @ Which things are written allegorically; for these women are two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, who beareth children into bondage, which is Hagar;

noyes@Galatians:4:25 @ for the word Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and she corresponds to the Jerusalem now existing, for she is in bondage with her children;

noyes@Galatians:4:26 @ but the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

noyes@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: "Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for many are the children of the desolate one, rather than of her who hath the husband."

noyes@Galatians:4:28 @ But ye, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of a promise.

noyes@Galatians:4:29 @ But as at that time he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born through the Spirit, so it is now.

noyes@Galatians:4:30 @ But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman."

noyes@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the freewoman.

noyes@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand firm in the liberty with which Christ made us free, and be not again bound fast to the yoke of bondage.

noyes@Galatians:5:2 @ Behold, I Paul say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing;

noyes@Galatians:5:3 @ yea, I testify again to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to keep the whole Law.

noyes@Galatians:5:4 @ Ye are entirely separated from Christ, who seek to obtain righteousness through the Law; ye have fallen away from grace.

noyes@Galatians:5:5 @ For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness.

noyes@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love.

noyes@Galatians:5:7 @ Ye were running well; who hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth?

noyes@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion came not from him that called you.

noyes@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

noyes@Galatians:5:10 @ I indeed have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.

noyes@Galatians:5:11 @ But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumbling–block.

noyes@Galatians:5:12 @ Would that they who unsettle you would quite cut themselves off!

noyes@Galatians:5:13 @ For ye, brethren, were called to liberty; only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by your love serve one another.

noyes@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

noyes@Galatians:5:15 @ But if ye bite and devour one another, beware lest ye be consumed by one another.

noyes@Galatians:5:16 @ But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

noyes@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh hath desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these oppose one another, that ye may not do the things that ye would.

noyes@Galatians:5:18 @ But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the Law.

noyes@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

noyes@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, rivalry, outbursts of wrath, cabals, divisions, factions,

noyes@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also told you in time past, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

noyes@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long–suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

noyes@Galatians:5:23 @ meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law.

noyes@Galatians:5:24 @ And they who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.

noyes@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

noyes@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become vain–glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

noyes@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, even if a man be detected in a fault, do ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

noyes@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear ye one another’s burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.

noyes@Galatians:6:3 @ For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

noyes@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one prove his own work, and then will he have his ground for boasting in himself alone, and not in comparison with another;

noyes@Galatians:6:5 @ for every one must bear his own load.

noyes@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him that is taught in the word share with the teacher in all good things.

noyes@Galatians:6:7 @ Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap;

noyes@Galatians:6:8 @ for he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

noyes@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not be faint–hearted in well–doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

noyes@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

noyes@Galatians:6:11 @ See in what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.

noyes@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

noyes@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even do they who become circumcised themselves keep the Law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

noyes@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

noyes@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

noyes@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

noyes@Galatians:6:17 @ Henceforth let no one trouble me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.

noyes@Galatians:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

noyes@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are, and believers in Christ Jesus:

noyes@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:1:4 @ according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;

noyes@Ephesians:1:5 @ having in love predestinated us for himself to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

noyes@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;

noyes@Ephesians:1:7 @ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

noyes@Ephesians:1:8 @ which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding;

noyes@Ephesians:1:9 @ having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself

noyes@Ephesians:1:10 @ in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him,

noyes@Ephesians:1:11 @ in whom we also obtained the inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,

noyes@Ephesians:1:13 @ in whom ye also, after having heard the word of truth, the glad tidings of your salvation, in whom, I say, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised,

noyes@Ephesians:1:14 @ which is a pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

noyes@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,

noyes@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

noyes@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;

noyes@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

noyes@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,

noyes@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;

noyes@Ephesians:1:22 @ and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

noyes@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;

noyes@Ephesians:2:1 @ and you also, who were dead through your trespasses and sins,

noyes@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

noyes@Ephesians:2:3 @ among whom even we all had our way of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;

noyes@Ephesians:2:4 @ but God, who is rich in mercy, on account of his great love wherewith he loved us, gave to us,

noyes@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when dead through our trespasses, life with Christ,––by grace have ye been saved,––

noyes@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus,

noyes@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

noyes@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, lest any one should boast.

noyes@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

noyes@Ephesians:2:11 @ Wherefore remember, that in time past ye, the gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised, having the circumcision of the flesh, performed by hand,––

noyes@Ephesians:2:12 @ that ye were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

noyes@Ephesians:2:13 @ but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

noyes@Ephesians:2:14 @ For it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity;

noyes@Ephesians:2:15 @ having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus making peace,

noyes@Ephesians:2:16 @ and might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity.

noyes@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near;

noyes@Ephesians:2:18 @ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

noyes@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow–citizens with the saints, and members of the household of God,

noyes@Ephesians:2:20 @ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner–stone;

noyes@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord;

noyes@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom ye also are built together into a dwelling–place of God in the Spirit.

noyes@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you gentiles;

noyes@Ephesians:3:2 @ if, indeed, ye heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given me toward you,

noyes@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

noyes@Ephesians:3:4 @ whereby, when ye read, ye may perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

noyes@Ephesians:3:6 @ that the gentiles are fellow–heirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel;

noyes@Ephesians:3:7 @ of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God, given to me according to the effectual working of his power.

noyes@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ,

noyes@Ephesians:3:9 @ to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which hath been hidden for ages in God, who created all things;

noyes@Ephesians:3:10 @ to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

noyes@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to his purpose for ages, which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord;

noyes@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have our boldness and our access in confidence, through faith in him.

noyes@Ephesians:3:13 @ Wherefore I entreat you not to be disheartened by the troubles I am suffering for you, since they are your glory.

noyes@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this cause I bend my knees to the Father,

noyes@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every family in heaven and on earth receiveth its name,

noyes@Ephesians:3:16 @ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

noyes@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, ye having been rooted and grounded in love,

noyes@Ephesians:3:18 @ that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

noyes@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

noyes@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

noyes@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be the glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

noyes@Ephesians:4:1 @ I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

noyes@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and meekness, with long–suffering; bearing with one another in love,

noyes@Ephesians:4:3 @ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

noyes@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye were called in one hope of your calling;

noyes@Ephesians:4:5 @ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

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

noyes@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us was given the grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

noyes@Ephesians:4:8 @ Wherefore he saith: "When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men."

noyes@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

noyes@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is the same as he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

noyes@Ephesians:4:11 @ And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

noyes@Ephesians:4:12 @ for the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministration, for the building up of the body of Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full–grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:4:14 @ that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and borne about by every wind of teaching, through the dishonest tricks of men, and their cunning in the wily arts of error;

noyes@Ephesians:4:15 @ but cleaving to truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him who is the head, even Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, well put together and compacted by means of every supplying joint, is, according to the working of each part in its proportion, building itself up in love.

noyes@Ephesians:4:18 @ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance that is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts;

noyes@Ephesians:4:19 @ who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to wantonness, to work all uncleanness in greediness.

noyes@Ephesians:4:20 @ But not so did ye learn Christ,

noyes@Ephesians:4:21 @ if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;

noyes@Ephesians:4:22 @ that as to your former way of life ye should put off the old man, who perisheth according to the lusts of deceit,

noyes@Ephesians:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

noyes@Ephesians:4:24 @ and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

noyes@Ephesians:4:25 @ Wherefore having put away falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.

noyes@Ephesians:4:26 @ "Be angry, and sin not;" let not the sun go down upon your wrath;

noyes@Ephesians:4:27 @ and do not give place to the Devil.

noyes@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him that stealeth steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands at that which is good, that he may have to give to him that is in need.

noyes@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;

noyes@Ephesians:4:30 @ and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

noyes@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil–speaking, be put away from you, with all malice;

noyes@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tender–hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

noyes@Ephesians:5:1 @ Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

noyes@Ephesians:5:2 @ and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor.

noyes@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints,

noyes@Ephesians:5:4 @ neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor indecent jesting, which are not becoming; but rather giving of thanks.

noyes@Ephesians:5:5 @ For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whore–monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

noyes@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience.

noyes@Ephesians:5:7 @ Be not therefore partakers with them.

noyes@Ephesians:5:8 @ For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

noyes@Ephesians:5:9 @ ––for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,––

noyes@Ephesians:5:10 @ proving what is acceptable to the Lord;

noyes@Ephesians:5:11 @ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

noyes@Ephesians:5:12 @ For the things done in secret by them it is a shame even to speak of.

noyes@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things, when reproved, are made manifest by the light; for whatever maketh manifest is light.

noyes@Ephesians:5:14 @ Wherefore he saith, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light."

noyes@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that ye walk circumspectly; not as unwise men, but as wise;

noyes@Ephesians:5:16 @ buying up for yourselves opportunities, because the days are evil.

noyes@Ephesians:5:17 @ Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

noyes@Ephesians:5:18 @ And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled with the Spirit,

noyes@Ephesians:5:20 @ giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

noyes@Ephesians:5:21 @ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

noyes@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord;

noyes@Ephesians:5:23 @ for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church,––he, who is the Saviour of the body.

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

noyes@Ephesians:5:27 @ that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

noyes@Ephesians:5:28 @ In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself;

noyes@Ephesians:5:29 @ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church;

noyes@Ephesians:5:30 @ for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

noyes@Ephesians:5:31 @ "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."

noyes@Ephesians:5:32 @ This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church.

noyes@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, do ye also severally love each one his own wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

noyes@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.

noyes@Ephesians:6:2 @ "Honor thy father and mother;" which is the first commandment with a promise;

noyes@Ephesians:6:3 @ "that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live long on the earth."

noyes@Ephesians:6:5 @ Bond–servants, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as serving Christ;

noyes@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eye–service as men–pleasers, but as bond–servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

noyes@Ephesians:6:7 @ doing service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men;

noyes@Ephesians:6:8 @ knowing that whatever good each one shall have done, that shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bondman or free.

noyes@Ephesians:6:9 @ And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening; knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

noyes@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

noyes@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil;

noyes@Ephesians:6:12 @ for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world–rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the heavenly regions.

noyes@Ephesians:6:13 @ Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

noyes@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breast–plate of righteousness,

noyes@Ephesians:6:15 @ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

noyes@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

noyes@Philippians:1:4 @ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy

noyes@Philippians:1:5 @ on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;

noyes@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;

noyes@Philippians:1:7 @ even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.

noyes@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the tender affection of Christ Jesus.

noyes@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

noyes@Philippians:1:10 @ so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,

noyes@Philippians:1:11 @ being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

noyes@Philippians:1:12 @ But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;

noyes@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my bonds have become known in connection with Christ in the whole camp of the imperial guards, and to all the rest;

noyes@Philippians:1:14 @ and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

noyes@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will.

noyes@Philippians:1:16 @

noyes@Philippians:1:17 @

noyes@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Notwithstanding, in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.

noyes@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

noyes@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

noyes@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

noyes@Philippians:1:22 @ But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

noyes@Philippians:1:23 @ but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;

noyes@Philippians:1:24 @ but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

noyes@Philippians:1:25 @ And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,

noyes@Philippians:1:26 @ that your glorying in me, in the cause of Christ Jesus, may be more abundant by my coming to you again.

noyes@Philippians:1:27 @ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

noyes@Philippians:1:28 @ and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;

noyes@Philippians:1:29 @ for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;

noyes@Philippians:1:30 @ as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.

noyes@Philippians:2:1 @ If then there is any exhortation in Christ, if any encouragement from love, if any partaking of the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

noyes@Philippians:2:2 @ make my joy full, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, with union of soul cherishing one mind;

noyes@Philippians:2:3 @ doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vain–glory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves;

noyes@Philippians:2:4 @ looking each of you not to his own interest, but each to the interest of others also.

noyes@Philippians:2:5 @ Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

noyes@Philippians:2:6 @ who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God,

noyes@Philippians:2:7 @ but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men;

noyes@Philippians:2:8 @ and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

noyes@Philippians:2:9 @ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name;

noyes@Philippians:2:10 @ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth,

noyes@Philippians:2:11 @ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

noyes@Philippians:2:12 @ So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

noyes@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

noyes@Philippians:2:14 @ Do all things without murmurings and doubts;

noyes@Philippians:2:15 @ that ye may be blameless and pure, children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world,

noyes@Philippians:2:16 @ holding forth the word of life, that I may have whereof to boast against the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, or labor in vain.

noyes@Philippians:2:17 @ But if I am even poured out on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

noyes@Philippians:2:18 @ For the same reason, do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

noyes@Philippians:2:19 @ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I know your state.

noyes@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one like–minded, who will have a true concern for your state;

noyes@Philippians:2:21 @ for all of them are seeking their own things, not those of Christ Jesus.

noyes@Philippians:2:22 @ But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

noyes@Philippians:2:23 @ Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, as soon as I see how it will go with me;

noyes@Philippians:2:24 @ but I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come soon.

noyes@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow–soldier, but your messenger, and minister to my wants;

noyes@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing after you all, and was much troubled, because ye heard that he was sick.

noyes@Philippians:2:27 @ For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

noyes@Philippians:2:28 @ I send him therefore the more speedily, that when ye see him ye may again rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

noyes@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor;

noyes@Philippians:2:30 @ because he was near to death on account of the work, hazarding his life to supply what was wanting on your part in the ministration to me.

noyes@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; to write the same things to you, to me is not burdensome, and for you it is safe.

noyes@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the concision.

noyes@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

noyes@Philippians:3:4 @ though I myself have reason for confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason for confidence in the flesh, I more;

noyes@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

noyes@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless.

noyes@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever things were gain to me, those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss.

noyes@Philippians:3:8 @ Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ,

noyes@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith;

noyes@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, while becoming like him in his death,

noyes@Philippians:3:11 @ if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

noyes@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained, or have been already perfected; but I press on, if I may also lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ.

noyes@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth to the things that are before,

noyes@Philippians:3:14 @ I press toward the mark for the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind; and if ye have a different mind in anything, even this will God reveal to you.

noyes@Philippians:3:16 @ Nevertheless, whereto we have reached, in that let us walk.

noyes@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark those who walk as ye have us for an example.

noyes@Philippians:3:18 @ For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ;

noyes@Philippians:3:19 @ whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, whose mind is on earthly things.

noyes@Philippians:3:20 @ For the country of which we are citizens is heaven, whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

noyes@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform the body of our humiliation so that it shall be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of the power with which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

noyes@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

noyes@Philippians:4:2 @ I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord;

noyes@Philippians:4:3 @ yea, I entreat thee also, true yoke–fellow, give them aid; since they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow–laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

noyes@Philippians:4:4 @ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say it, rejoice.

noyes@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

noyes@Philippians:4:6 @ Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God;

noyes@Philippians:4:7 @ and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

noyes@Philippians:4:9 @ The things which ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace will be with you.

noyes@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived again in your care for my welfare; for which indeed ye cared before, but lacked opportunity.

noyes@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.

noyes@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound; in every thing and in all things I have been well taught, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want;

noyes@Philippians:4:13 @ I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me.

noyes@Philippians:4:14 @ Notwithstanding, ye did well in sharing with me in my distress.

noyes@Philippians:4:15 @ And ye yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in an account of giving and receiving, but ye only;

noyes@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity.

noyes@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek for such a gift, but I do seek for fruit that may abound to your account.

noyes@Philippians:4:18 @ But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well–pleasing to God.

noyes@Philippians:4:19 @ But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Philippians:4:20 @ Now to God, our Father, be glory for ever. Amen.

noyes@Philippians:4:21 @ Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.

noyes@Philippians:4:22 @ All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.

noyes@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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

noyes@Colossians:1:2 @ to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father.

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

noyes@Colossians:1:4 @ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

noyes@Colossians:1:5 @ on account of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

noyes@Colossians:1:6 @ which is come to you, as it is in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, as it doth also in you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth;

noyes@Colossians:1:7 @ even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow–servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf;

noyes@Colossians:1:8 @ who also brought to our knowledge your love in the Spirit.

noyes@Colossians:1:9 @ On this account we also, from the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

noyes@Colossians:1:10 @ that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

noyes@Colossians:1:11 @ endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and long–suffering with joy;

noyes@Colossians:1:13 @ who rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son;

noyes@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; ––

noyes@Colossians:1:15 @ who is the image of the invisible God, the first–born of the whole creation;

noyes@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him;

noyes@Colossians:1:17 @ and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.

noyes@Colossians:1:18 @ And he is the head of the body, the church; since he is the beginning, the first–born from the dead, that he may be in all things pre–eminent;

noyes@Colossians:1:19 @ for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,

noyes@Colossians:1:20 @ having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.

noyes@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, that were once alienated, and enemies in your mind in wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

noyes@Colossians:1:22 @ in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable in his sight;

noyes@Colossians:1:23 @ if ye indeed continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which hath been preached in the whole creation under heaven; of which I Paul became a minister.

noyes@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up instead that which is wanting of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the church;

noyes@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister, according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me, for you, to fulfill the word of God,

noyes@Colossians:1:27 @ to whom it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

noyes@Colossians:1:28 @ whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

noyes@Colossians:1:29 @ to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.

noyes@Colossians:2:1 @ For I would have you know what a great struggle I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

noyes@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged, they being knit together in love, and that they may attain to all the riches of a full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God;

noyes@Colossians:2:3 @ in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

noyes@Colossians:2:4 @ And this I say, that no one may impose on you by specious discourses.

noyes@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

noyes@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest there be some one who shall make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.

noyes@Colossians:2:10 @ and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power;

noyes@Colossians:2:11 @ in whom also ye have been circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, in putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ,

noyes@Colossians:2:13 @ and to you also who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he given life together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

noyes@Colossians:2:14 @ blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;

noyes@Colossians:2:15 @ and having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, and led them captive in triumph in him.

noyes@Colossians:2:16 @ Let no one then call you to account about food or drink, or a feast–day, or a new moon, or sabbaths;

noyes@Colossians:2:17 @ which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is Christ’s.

noyes@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one defraud you of the prize, desiring to do it in humiliation and worshipping of the angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, puffed up without reason by the mind of his own flesh,

noyes@Colossians:2:20 @ If ye died with Christ to the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, such as,

noyes@Colossians:2:21 @ Handle not, Taste not, Touch not,

noyes@Colossians:2:22 @ (which all are to perish with the using,) after the commandments and teachings of men;

noyes@Colossians:2:23 @ which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will–worship and humiliation and severity to the body, not in any honor for the satisfying of the flesh.

noyes@Colossians:3:1 @ If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God.

noyes@Colossians:3:2 @ Set your mind on the things above, not on things on the earth.

noyes@Colossians:3:3 @ For ye died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God;

noyes@Colossians:3:4 @ when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.

noyes@Colossians:3:5 @ Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

noyes@Colossians:3:9 @ Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds,

noyes@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;

noyes@Colossians:3:11 @ where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

noyes@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

noyes@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything.

noyes@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

noyes@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For ye yourselves know, brethren, that our coming among you hath not been in vain;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered before and had been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our teaching is not from error, nor from impurity, nor in guile;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been regarded by God as worthy to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor from men sought we glory, either from you, or from others; though we might have used authority as apostles of Christ.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle in the midst of you, even as a nurse cherisheth her own children;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ so having a strong affection for you, we were willing to impart to you, not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls, because ye became dear to us.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For ye remember, brethren, our labor and toil, how laboring night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ Ye are witnesses, and so is God, how holily, and righteously, and unblamably we conducted ourselves toward you that believe;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ as ye know how we exhorted, and encouraged, and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ that ye should walk in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you to his own kingdom and glory.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also is powerfully working in you that believe.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they have from the Jews;

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and drove us out, and please not God, and set themselves against all men,

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ hindering us from speaking to the gentiles that they may be saved,––to fill up their sins always! But the wrath is come upon them to the end.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you for a short time, separated in body, not in heart, used the greater endeavors with much earnestness to see your face.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Wherefore we purposed to come to you, that is, I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

noyes@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For ye are our glory and joy.

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we chose to be left at Athens alone,

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and a fellow–laborer with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to encourage you in your faith,

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for yourselves know that to this we are appointed;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know.

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But when Timothy just now came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction by your faith;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may supply that which is lacking in your faith?

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now God himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we do in love toward you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ in order that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Furthermore then, brethren, we beseech you, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye are walking, ye would abound still more;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ for ye know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that every one of you should know how to procure for himself his own vessel in purity and honor,

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust, even as the gentiles who know not God;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no one should go beyond and overreach his brother in the matter; because the Lord is the avenger in respect to all these things, as we also told you before and solemnly testified.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God did not call us to live in uncleanness, but in purity.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ He therefore that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who also gave to you his Holy Spirit.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning brotherly love there is no need of writing to you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, to abound in love still more;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ that ye may walk becomingly toward those without, and may have need of nothing.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are sleeping, that ye may not sorrow, as others do, who have no hope.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then also will God, through Jesus, bring again with him those who have fallen asleep.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are living, we who are left till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those who have fallen asleep.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ then we who are living, we who are left, shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ So then comfort one another with these words.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, there is no need of writing to you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ for ye yourselves know full well, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they are saying, Peace and safety; then doth sudden destruction come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ for ye all are sons of light, and sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Let us not sleep, then, as others, but let us watch and be sober.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ but let us, as we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast–plate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ for God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should together live with him.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Wherefore, encourage one another, and edify one another, as indeed ye are doing.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And we beseech you, brethren, to know those who labor among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Moreover we exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the feeble–minded, support the weak, be forbearing to all.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none render evil for evil to any one; but ever follow that which is good, both toward one another and toward all.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Be always joyful.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Pray without ceasing;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Quench not the Spirit;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ despise not prophesyings,

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ but prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ abstain from every form of evil.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved whole, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ Faithful is he who calleth you, who also will do it.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you by the Lord, that this letter be read to all the holy brethren.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth;

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

noyes@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him,

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any manner; for unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do ye not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be revealed in his own time.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way;

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood,

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this cause God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the falsehood;

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth;

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by our letter.

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, our Father, who loved us, and gave us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

noyes@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as with you,

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for it is not all that have faith.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But faithful is the Lord, who will establish you, and guard you from evil.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to perseverance in the cause of Christ.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought, but were working with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, that ye should imitate us.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For also when we were with you, this we commanded you: If any one will not work, neither let him eat.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear of some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now such we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But ye, brethren, be not weary in well–doing.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ And if any one obey not our word by this epistle, mark that man; and keep no company with him, that he may be shamed;

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way; the Lord be with you all.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; which is the token in every letter; so I write.

noyes@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

noyes@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,

noyes@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

noyes@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

noyes@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God’s dispensation which is in faith,

noyes@1Timothy:1:5 @ Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

noyes@1Timothy:1:6 @ from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,

noyes@1Timothy:1:7 @ desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

noyes@1Timothy:1:8 @ But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

noyes@1Timothy:1:9 @ knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man–slayers,

noyes@1Timothy:1:10 @ for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men–stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,

noyes@1Timothy:1:11 @ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

noyes@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

noyes@1Timothy:1:13 @ though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief;

noyes@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

noyes@1Timothy:1:15 @ True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

noyes@1Timothy:1:16 @ But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long–suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

noyes@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

noyes@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war the good warfare,

noyes@1Timothy:1:20 @ of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

noyes@1Timothy:2:1 @ I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men;

noyes@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings, and all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and propriety.

noyes@1Timothy:2:3 @ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

noyes@1Timothy:2:4 @ whose will is that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

noyes@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

noyes@1Timothy:2:7 @ whereunto I was appointed a herald and an apostle, (I speak the truth, I lie not,) a teacher of the gentiles in faith and truth.

noyes@1Timothy:2:8 @ I desire, then, that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

noyes@1Timothy:2:9 @ In like manner also, that women, in seemly attire, adorn themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with braided hair, and gold, or pearls, or costly apparel;

noyes@1Timothy:2:10 @ but, as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

noyes@1Timothy:2:11 @ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

noyes@1Timothy:2:12 @ But I suffer not the woman to teach, nor to have authority over the man, but to be in silence.

noyes@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

noyes@1Timothy:2:14 @ And Adam was not deceived; but the woman being deceived fell into transgression.

noyes@1Timothy:2:15 @ But she will be saved through child–bearing, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobriety.

noyes@1Timothy:3:1 @ True is the saying: If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

noyes@1Timothy:3:12 @ Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

noyes@1Timothy:3:13 @ For they that have served well as deacons, gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

noyes@Hebrews:2:16 @ For surely he doth not help angels, but he helpeth the offspring of Abraham.

noyes@Hebrews:2:17 @ Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high–priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

noyes@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

noyes@Hebrews:3:1 @ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high–priest of our profession, Jesus;

noyes@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

noyes@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it.

noyes@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is builded by some one; but he who built all things is God.

noyes@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, that he might testify of those things which were to be spoken;

noyes@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

noyes@Hebrews:3:7 @ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: "To–day, if ye hear his voice,

noyes@Hebrews:3:8 @ harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

noyes@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your fathers tempted me by proving me, and saw my works forty years.

noyes@Hebrews:3:10 @ Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;

noyes@Hebrews:3:11 @ so I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest."

noyes@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

noyes@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called To–day, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

noyes@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm to the end.

noyes@Hebrews:3:15 @ When it is said, "To–day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,"

noyes@Hebrews:3:16 @ who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of Moses?

noyes@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

noyes@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?

noyes@Hebrews:3:19 @ So then we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

noyes@Hebrews:4:1 @ Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

noyes@Hebrews:4:2 @ For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

noyes@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who believed enter into the rest, as he hath said: "So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest;" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

noyes@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he hath spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

noyes@Hebrews:4:5 @ and in this place again: "They shall not enter into my rest."

noyes@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in because of disobedience,

noyes@Hebrews:4:7 @ he again appointeth a certain day, "To–day"––saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said––"To–day, if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

noyes@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.

noyes@Hebrews:4:9 @ There remaineth therefore a sabbath–rest to the people of God.

noyes@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself rested from his works, as God did from his own.

noyes@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us then strive to enter into that rest, that no one may fall, as a like example of disobedience.

noyes@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart;

noyes@Hebrews:4:13 @ and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

noyes@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great high–priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

noyes@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high–priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, without sin.

noyes@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

noyes@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high–priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

noyes@Hebrews:5:2 @ being able to be forbearing toward the ignorant and the erring, since he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

noyes@Hebrews:5:3 @ and by reason of this infirmity he must, as for the people, so also for himself, offer sacrifice for sins.

noyes@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one taketh this honor to himself, but when called by God, as was Aaron.

noyes@Hebrews:5:5 @ Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made high–priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"

noyes@Hebrews:5:6 @ as also he saith in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

noyes@Hebrews:5:7 @ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard by reason of his godly reverence,

noyes@Hebrews:5:8 @ though a son yet learned his obedience from what he suffered;

noyes@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being perfected became the author of everlasting salvation to all who obey him,

noyes@Hebrews:5:10 @ being addressed by God as high–priest after the order of Melchizedek.

noyes@Hebrews:5:11 @ Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be explained, seeing ye have become dull of hearing.

noyes@Hebrews:5:12 @ For while on account of the length of time ye ought to be teachers, ye again have need that some one should teach you the first elements of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

noyes@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one that feedeth on milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness; for he is a babe;

noyes@Hebrews:5:14 @ but solid food belongs to those who are of full age, who by use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

noyes@Hebrews:6:1 @ Let us then, leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ, press on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

noyes@Hebrews:6:2 @ of the doctrine of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment.

noyes@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do, if God permit.

noyes@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible that those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and been make partakers of the Holy Spirit,

noyes@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

noyes@Hebrews:6:6 @ and have fallen away, should again be renewed to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.

noyes@Hebrews:6:7 @ For the earth which hath drunk in the rain that cometh often upon it, and beareth plants useful to those for whose sake it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God;

noyes@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bear thorns and briers it is disapproved, and is near to being accursed; and its end is to be burned.

noyes@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that are connected with salvation, though we do thus speak.

noyes@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust so as to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered and are still ministering to the saints.

noyes@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to the end;

noyes@Hebrews:6:12 @ that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.

noyes@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,

noyes@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."

noyes@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, having endured with patience, he obtained the promised blessing.

noyes@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men indeed swear by one who is greater, and the oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

noyes@Hebrews:6:17 @ Wherefore God, wishing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, confirmed it by an oath,

noyes@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us;

noyes@Hebrews:6:19 @ which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and which entereth within the veil;

noyes@Hebrews:6:20 @ where as forerunner for us Jesus entered, having become a high–priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

noyes@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

noyes@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all, who by interpretation is first King of righteousness, and then also was King of Salem, which is, King of peace,

noyes@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.

noyes@Hebrews:7:4 @ Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils.

noyes@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham;

noyes@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

noyes@Hebrews:7:7 @ And beyond all contradiction the less is blessed by the greater.

noyes@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth.

noyes@Hebrews:7:9 @ And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham;

noyes@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

noyes@Hebrews:7:11 @ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?

noyes@Hebrews:7:12 @ For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law.

noyes@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar;

noyes@Hebrews:7:14 @ for it is well–known that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

noyes@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest,

noyes@Hebrews:7:16 @ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.

noyes@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

noyes@Hebrews:7:18 @ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness,––

noyes@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law perfected nothing,––and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

noyes@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest,

noyes@Hebrews:7:21 @ ––for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"––

noyes@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

noyes@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death;

noyes@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood;

noyes@Hebrews:7:25 @ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

noyes@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a high–priest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

noyes@Hebrews:7:27 @ who hath not necessity daily, as the high–priests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

noyes@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law maketh men high–priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

noyes@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the principal thing among those of which we are speaking is this: We have such a high–priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

noyes@Hebrews:8:2 @ a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

noyes@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high–priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; whence it is necessary that this one also have something which he may offer.

noyes@Hebrews:8:4 @ For if, indeed, he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those that offer the gifts according to the Law;

noyes@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the mere delineation and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle; for, "See," saith he, "that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shown thee in the mount."

noyes@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises.

noyes@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a second.

noyes@Hebrews:8:8 @ For finding fault with them, he saith: "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;

noyes@Hebrews:8:9 @ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

noyes@Hebrews:8:10 @ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and on their hearts will I write them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

noyes@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every one his fellow–citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

noyes@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

noyes@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that he saith, "a new covenant," he hath made the first old; but that which is becoming old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.

noyes@Hebrews:9:1 @ The first covenant, then, had indeed ordinances of religious service, and a worldly sanctuary.

noyes@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tabernacle was prepared, the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the show–bread; which is called the holy place:

noyes@Hebrews:9:3 @ and after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies,

noyes@Hebrews:9:4 @ which had the golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, wherein was the golden pot containing the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

noyes@Hebrews:9:5 @ and over it the cherubs of glory, overshadowing the mercy–seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

noyes@Hebrews:9:6 @ Now these things being thus prepared, into the first tabernacle indeed the priests enter at all times, performing the services;

noyes@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second the high–priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people;

noyes@Hebrews:9:8 @ the Holy Spirit clearly showing this, that the way into the sanctuary hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing:

noyes@Hebrews:9:9 @ which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper,

noyes@Hebrews:9:10 @ being only ordinances pertaining to the flesh, which in addition to meats and drinks and divers washings are imposed until the time of reformation.

noyes@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ having appeared, as a high–priest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary,

noyes@Hebrews:9:12 @ not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

noyes@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

noyes@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God!

noyes@Hebrews:9:15 @ And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the everlasting inheritance which was promised.

noyes@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament there must of necessity be implied the death of the testator;

noyes@Hebrews:9:17 @ for a testament is of force after men are dead, since it is of no force while the testator is living.

noyes@Hebrews:9:18 @ Hence neither was the first covenant ratified without blood.

noyes@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when Moses had spoken every precept according to the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

noyes@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined in respect to you."

noyes@Hebrews:9:21 @ The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the service he in like manner sprinkled with the blood.

noyes@Hebrews:9:22 @ And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

noyes@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

noyes@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

noyes@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the high–priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

noyes@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice.

noyes@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment;

noyes@Hebrews:9:28 @ so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

noyes@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect.

noyes@Hebrews:10:2 @ For in that case would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

noyes@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year.

noyes@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

noyes@Hebrews:10:5 @ Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me;

noyes@Hebrews:10:6 @ in whole burnt–offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure.

noyes@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then said I, Lo, I have come––in the volume of the book it is written of me––to do thy will, O God."

noyes@Hebrews:10:8 @ Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burnt–offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"––such as are offered in conformity to the Law,––

noyes@Hebrews:10:9 @ then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second.

noyes@Hebrews:10:10 @ And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

noyes@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service, and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

noyes@Hebrews:10:12 @ but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God,

noyes@Hebrews:10:13 @ thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool.

noyes@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified.

noyes@Hebrews:10:15 @ Moreover the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us of this. For after he had said,

noyes@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," the Lord saith, "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them,

noyes@Hebrews:10:17 @ and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

noyes@Hebrews:10:18 @ But where there is remission of these, there is no longer offering for sin.

noyes@Hebrews:10:19 @ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

noyes@Hebrews:10:20 @ a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh,

noyes@Hebrews:10:21 @ and having a great priest over the house of God,

noyes@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having had our bodies washed with pure water,

noyes@Hebrews:10:23 @ let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who promised;

noyes@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us consider one another, to excite to love and to good works,

noyes@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

noyes@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin willingly after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remaineth a sacrifice for sins;

noyes@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a certain fearful looking for judgment, and an indignation by fire, which will devour the adversaries.

noyes@Hebrews:10:28 @ He that hath set at nought the law of Moses dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses;

noyes@Hebrews:10:29 @ of how much heavier punishment, think ye, will he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?

noyes@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord;" and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

noyes@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

noyes@Hebrews:10:32 @ But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great struggle with sufferings;

noyes@Hebrews:10:33 @ partly, while ye were made a gazing–stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became partakers with those that were so used.

noyes@Hebrews:10:34 @ For ye sympathized with those in bonds, and ye took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better and an enduring substance.

noyes@Hebrews:10:35 @ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

noyes@Hebrews:10:36 @ For ye have need of endurance; that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive what is promised.

noyes@Hebrews:10:37 @ For yet a very little while, and "he that is to come will come, and will not tarry.

noyes@Hebrews:10:38 @ Now my righteous man shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul hath no pleasure in him."

noyes@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who draw back, unto perdition; but of those who believe, to the saving of the soul.

noyes@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

noyes@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the elders obtained a good report.

noyes@Hebrews:11:3 @ Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

noyes@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.

noyes@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.

noyes@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

noyes@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

noyes@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth to a place which he was afterward to receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

noyes@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

noyes@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he was looking for the city which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God.

noyes@Hebrews:11:11 @ Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.

noyes@Hebrews:11:12 @ Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered.

noyes@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

noyes@Hebrews:11:14 @ For they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking a country.

noyes@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return;

noyes@Hebrews:11:16 @ but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.

noyes@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only–begotten son,

noyes@Hebrews:11:18 @ he to whom it was said, "From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;"

noyes@Hebrews:11:19 @ accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence also he did figuratively receive him back.

noyes@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave directions concerning his bones.

noyes@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair and they feared not the king’s commandment.

noyes@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

noyes@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

noyes@James:2:4 @ have ye not been partial among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

noyes@James:2:5 @ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

noyes@James:2:6 @ but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment–seats?

noyes@James:2:8 @ If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," ye do well.

noyes@James:2:9 @ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

noyes@James:2:10 @ For whoever hath kept the whole law, and yet hath offended in one point, hath become guilty of all.

noyes@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.

noyes@James:2:12 @ So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

noyes@James:2:13 @ For the judgment shall be without mercy to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glorieth against judgment.

noyes@James:2:16 @ and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit?

noyes@James:2:17 @ So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.

noyes@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

noyes@James:2:19 @ Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble.

noyes@James:2:20 @ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?

noyes@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

noyes@James:2:22 @ Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.

noyes@James:2:23 @ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.

noyes@James:2:24 @ Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.

noyes@James:2:25 @ And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

noyes@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

noyes@James:3:1 @ My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

noyes@James:3:2 @ For in many things we all offend. If any one offend not in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

noyes@James:3:4 @ Behold also the ships, which, though they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, are yet turned about with a very small rudder, whithersoever the steersman chooseth.

noyes@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindleth!

noyes@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity! The tongue among our members is that which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.

noyes@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind;

noyes@James:3:8 @ but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

noyes@James:3:9 @ Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men, who have been made after the likeness of God;

noyes@James:3:10 @ out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

noyes@James:3:11 @ Doth a fountain from the same opening send forth sweet water and bitter?

noyes@James:3:12 @ Can a fig–tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine, figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh.

noyes@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

noyes@James:3:14 @ But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

noyes@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.

noyes@James:3:16 @ For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work.

noyes@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

noyes@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

noyes@James:4:1 @ Whence are wars and whence are fightings among you? Are they not hence, from your lusts that war in your members?

noyes@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I exhort you, as sojourners and strangers, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

noyes@1Peter:2:12 @ having your manner of life among the gentiles honorable; that, whereas they speak against you as evil–doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

noyes@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves therefore to every human institution for the Lord’s sake; whether to the king, as supreme;

noyes@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as being sent by him for the punishment of evil–doers, and the praise of those who do well.

noyes@1Peter:2:15 @ For so is the will of God, that with well–doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men;

noyes@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as servants of God.

noyes@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

noyes@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and considerate, but also to the perverse.

noyes@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is acceptable, if any one on account of a sense of duty to God endureth hardships, suffering wrongfully.

noyes@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory is it, if, when ye are beaten for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently; for this is acceptable with God.

noyes@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps;

noyes@1Peter:2:22 @ who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

noyes@1Peter:2:23 @ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously;

noyes@1Peter:2:24 @ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

noyes@1Peter:2:25 @ For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

noyes@1Peter:3:1 @ In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives,

noyes@1Peter:3:2 @ when they behold your chaste behavior coupled with fear.

noyes@1Peter:3:3 @ Whose adorning, let it not be the out yard adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel;

noyes@1Peter:3:4 @ but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is imperishable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

noyes@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this manner in the old time the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;

noyes@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye have become, if ye do well, and fear no alarm.

noyes@1Peter:3:7 @ Dwell likewise, O husband, with thy wife according to knowledge, as with the weaker vessel, giving her honor as being heir with thee of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

noyes@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, be, all of one mind, have fellow feeling, love as brethren, be compassionate, be humble;

noyes@1Peter:3:9 @ not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, blessing the evil–doer; because for this end ye were called, that ye might inherit blessing.

noyes@1Peter:3:10 @ "For he that would love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile;

noyes@1Peter:3:11 @ let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.

noyes@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their supplication; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

noyes@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is he that shall harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good?

noyes@1Peter:3:14 @ But if ye even suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye. And be not afraid at their terrors, nor alarmed;

noyes@1Peter:3:15 @ but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. And be ready always to give an answer to every one that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, but with meekness and fear;

noyes@1Peter:3:16 @ having a good conscience, that, wherein ye are evil spoken of, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ.

noyes@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better, if it be the will of God, that ye suffer for well–doing, than for evil–doing.

noyes@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous one for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

noyes@1Peter:3:19 @ in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,

noyes@1Peter:3:20 @ who were disobedient in times past, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water;

noyes@1Peter:3:21 @ which in its antitype, baptism, is now saving you,––not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the earnest seeking for a good conscience toward God,––by the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

noyes@1Peter:3:22 @ who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

noyes@1Peter:4:1 @ Christ then having suffered in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

noyes@1Peter:4:2 @ that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

noyes@1Peter:4:3 @ For sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable idolatries;

noyes@1Peter:4:4 @ at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you;

noyes@1Peter:4:5 @ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

noyes@1Peter:4:6 @ For to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.

noyes@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

noyes@1Peter:4:8 @ And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins.

noyes@1Peter:4:9 @ Be hospitable to one another without grudging.

noyes@1Peter:4:10 @ According as each one hath received a gift, minister the same to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

noyes@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

noyes@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling you;

noyes@1Peter:4:13 @ but, in so far as ye share in Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

noyes@1Peter:4:14 @ If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you.

noyes@1Peter:4:15 @ For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil–doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters;

noyes@1Peter:4:16 @ but if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.

noyes@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God; but if it first begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

noyes@1Peter:4:18 @ and "if the righteous scarcely is saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

noyes@1Peter:4:19 @ Wherefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well–doing, as to a faithful Creator.

noyes@1Peter:5:1 @ The elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow–elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a sharer in the glory that is to be revealed;

noyes@1Peter:5:2 @ tend the flock of God which is among you, overseeing it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for base gain, but with ready mind;

noyes@1Peter:5:3 @ not as lording it over your allotted charge, but being examples to the flock;

noyes@1Peter:5:4 @ and when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye will receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.

noyes@1Peter:5:5 @ In like manner, ye younger men, submit yourselves to the elder; and all of you be clothed with humility toward each other; for "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."

noyes@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

noyes@1Peter:5:7 @ casting all your care upon him, because he careth for you.

noyes@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour;

noyes@1Peter:5:9 @ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren in the world.

noyes@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who called you to his everlasting glory in Christ Jesus, will, after ye have suffered a while, himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

noyes@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever. Amen.

noyes@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, the faithful brother as I think, I have written to you in few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

noyes@1Peter:5:13 @ The church in Babylon, chosen with you, saluteth you; and Mark, my son.

noyes@1Peter:5:14 @ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all that are in Christ.

noyes@2Peter:1:1 @ Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour Jesus Christ:

noyes@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

noyes@2Peter:1:3 @ Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;

noyes@2Peter:1:4 @ through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;

noyes@2Peter:1:5 @ even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,

noyes@2Peter:1:6 @ and to knowledge self–control, and to self–control endurance, and to endurance godliness,

noyes@2Peter:1:7 @ and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

noyes@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Peter:1:9 @ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

noyes@2Peter:1:10 @ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall.

noyes@2Peter:1:11 @ For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

noyes@2Peter:1:12 @ Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.

noyes@2Peter:1:13 @ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

noyes@2Peter:1:14 @ knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me.

noyes@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.

noyes@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eye–witnesses of his majesty.

noyes@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

noyes@2Peter:1:18 @ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him in the holy mount.

noyes@2Peter:1:19 @ And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day–star arise in your hearts;

noyes@2Peter:1:20 @ knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture cometh from private interpretation.

noyes@2Peter:1:21 @ For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.

noyes@2Peter:2:1 @ But there arose false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily bring in destructive factions, even denying the Lord that bought them; bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

noyes@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their dissolute ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of;

noyes@2Peter:2:3 @ and in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment long ago ordained lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

noyes@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God spared not angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

noyes@2Peter:2:5 @ and spared not the old world, but saved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

noyes@2Peter:2:6 @ and turning into ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, condemned them to overthrow, making them an example for those who in after time should live ungodly;

noyes@2Peter:2:7 @ and delivered righteous Lot, distressed by the lewd conduct of the lawless men;

noyes@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds;)

noyes@2Peter:2:9 @ the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;

noyes@2Peter:2:10 @ but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. Presumptuous, self–willed, they are not afraid to rail at dignities;

noyes@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against them a railing accusation;

noyes@2Peter:2:12 @ but these, as brute beasts, by nature born to be taken and destroyed, railing at things which they understand not, shall even perish in their own corruption,

noyes@2Peter:2:13 @ receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting it pleasure to riot in the day–time, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits while they feast with you,

noyes@2Peter:2:14 @ having eyes full of an adulteress, and that cannot cease from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, children of a curse,

noyes@2Peter:2:15 @ they have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

noyes@2Peter:2:16 @ but was rebuked for his iniquity; the dumb ass, speaking with man’s voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.

noyes@2Peter:2:17 @ These are wells without water, and mists driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

noyes@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they allure in the lusts of the flesh, by dissolute ways, such as were in some measure escaping from those who live in error;

noyes@2Peter:2:19 @ promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage.

noyes@2Peter:2:20 @ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first.

noyes@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

noyes@2Peter:2:22 @ It hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog returned to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

noyes@2Peter:3:1 @ This second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance;

noyes@2Peter:3:2 @ that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles;

noyes@2Peter:3:3 @ knowing this first, that there will come in the last days open scoffers following their own lusts,

noyes@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, Where is his promised coming? for, from the time when the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as then, and as they have continued from the beginning of the creation.

noyes@2Peter:3:5 @ For of this they are willingly ignorant, that of old by the word of God there were heavens, and an earth formed out of the water and by the water,

noyes@2Peter:3:6 @ by means of which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished;

noyes@2Peter:3:7 @ but the present heavens and the present earth are by his word kept in store, reserved for fire against the day of judgment and the perdition of ungodly men.

noyes@2Peter:3:8 @ But forget not, beloved, this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

noyes@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not tardy concerning his promise, as some men count tardiness; but is long–suffering toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

noyes@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein will be burned up.

noyes@2Peter:3:11 @ Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conduct and godliness,

noyes@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat!

noyes@2Peter:3:13 @ But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

noyes@2Peter:3:14 @ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, be diligent that ye may be found without spot and blameless before him in peace,

noyes@2Peter:3:15 @ and account the long–suffering of our Lord salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,

noyes@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which things are some that are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

noyes@2Peter:3:17 @ Do ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things beforehand, beware lest, being led away with the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

noyes@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and for ever.

noyes@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life,

noyes@1John:1:2 @ ––and the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us,––

noyes@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

noyes@1John:1:5 @ And this is the message which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

noyes@1John:1:6 @ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth;

noyes@1John:1:7 @ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

noyes@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

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

noyes@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

noyes@1John:2:1 @ My children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

noyes@1John:2:2 @ And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

noyes@1John:2:3 @ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

noyes@1John:2:4 @ He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

noyes@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keepeth his word, truly in him is the love of God perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.

noyes@1John:2:6 @ He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

noyes@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard.

noyes@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him, and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shineth.

noyes@1John:2:9 @ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now.

noyes@1John:2:10 @ He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him;

noyes@1John:2:11 @ but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

noyes@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, my children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his name’s sake.

noyes@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, my children, because ye know the Father.

noyes@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the Evil One.

noyes@1John:2:15 @ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

noyes@1John:2:16 @ because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

noyes@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

noyes@1John:2:18 @ My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come.

noyes@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.

noyes@1John:2:20 @ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things.

noyes@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

noyes@1John:2:22 @ Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.

noyes@1John:2:23 @ Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.

noyes@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

noyes@1John:2:28 @ And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

noyes@1John:2:29 @ If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.

noyes@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

noyes@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

noyes@1John:3:3 @ And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

noyes@1John:3:4 @ Whoever committeth sin transgresseth thereby the law; for sin is a transgression of the law.

noyes@1John:3:5 @ And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

noyes@1John:3:6 @ Whoever abideth in him sinneth not; whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.

noyes@1John:3:7 @ My children, let no one deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

noyes@1John:3:8 @ He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

noyes@1John:3:9 @ Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God.

noyes@1John:3:10 @ In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.

noyes@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

noyes@1John:3:12 @ not as Cain was of the Evil One, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

noyes@1John:3:13 @ Wonder not, brethren, if the world hateth you.

noyes@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death.

noyes@1John:3:15 @ Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath everlasting life abiding in him.

noyes@1John:3:16 @ Herein we know love, in that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

noyes@1John:3:17 @ But whoever hath this world’s goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

noyes@1John:3:18 @ My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

noyes@1John:3:19 @ And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him;

noyes@1John:3:20 @ because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

noyes@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;

noyes@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

noyes@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.

noyes@1John:3:24 @ And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit, which he gave us.

noyes@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

noyes@1John:4:2 @ Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God.

noyes@1John:4:3 @ And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

noyes@1John:4:4 @ Ye are of God, my children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

noyes@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world; therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them.

noyes@1John:4:6 @ We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

noyes@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God;

noyes@1John:4:8 @ he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.

noyes@1John:4:9 @ In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through him.

noyes@1John:4:10 @ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

noyes@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

noyes@1John:4:12 @ No one hath ever seen God. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

noyes@1John:4:13 @ Hereby we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

noyes@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

noyes@1John:4:15 @ Whoever acknowledgeth that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

noyes@1John:4:16 @ And we have known and believed the love that God hath in regard to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

noyes@1John:4:17 @ Herein hath love been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

noyes@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

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

noyes@1John:4:20 @ If any one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

noyes@1John:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.

noyes@1John:5:1 @ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.

noyes@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments.

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

noyes@1John:5:4 @ because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

noyes@1John:5:5 @ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

noyes@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

noyes@1John:5:8 @ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.

noyes@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.

noyes@1John:5:10 @ He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son.

noyes@1John:5:11 @ And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son.

noyes@1John:5:12 @ He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

noyes@1John:5:13 @ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life.

noyes@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us;

noyes@1John:5:15 @ and if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of him.

noyes@1John:5:16 @ If any one see his brother sin a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and shall give him life,––to those who sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death; for that I do not say that he shall pray.

noyes@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not unto death.

noyes@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.

noyes@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the dominion of the Evil One.

noyes@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life.

noyes@1John:5:21 @ My children, keep yourselves from idols.

noyes@2John:1:1 @ The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth,––

noyes@2John:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever.

noyes@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

noyes@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

noyes@2John:1:5 @ And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

noyes@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

noyes@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

noyes@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.

noyes@2John:1:9 @ Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.

noyes@2John:1:10 @ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.

noyes@2John:1:11 @ For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.

noyes@2John:1:12 @ Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

noyes@2John:1:13 @ The children of thy elect sister salute thee.

noyes@3John:1:1 @ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

noyes@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.

noyes@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.

noyes@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

noyes@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,

noyes@3John:1:6 @ who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.

noyes@3John:1:7 @ For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.

noyes@3John:1:8 @ We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow–workers for the truth.

noyes@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre–eminence among them, receiveth us not.

noyes@3John:1:10 @ Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.

noyes@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

noyes@3John:1:12 @ To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.

noyes@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;

noyes@3John:1:14 @ but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

noyes@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:

noyes@Jude:1:2 @ Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

noyes@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

noyes@Jude:1:4 @ For there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

noyes@Jude:1:5 @ But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not;

noyes@Jude:1:6 @ and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwelling–place, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day;

noyes@Jude:1:7 @ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire.

noyes@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities.

noyes@Jude:1:9 @ Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke thee.

noyes@Jude:1:10 @ But these rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves.

noyes@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

noyes@Jude:1:12 @ These are the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

noyes@Jude:1:13 @ raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

noyes@Jude:1:14 @ Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,

noyes@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all the deeds of their ungodliness which they committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners spoke against him."

noyes@Jude:1:16 @ These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring men’s persons, for the sake of profit.

noyes@Jude:1:17 @ But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

noyes@Jude:1:18 @ that they told you that at the last time there would be scoffers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.

noyes@Jude:1:19 @ These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.

noyes@Jude:1:20 @ But do ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

noyes@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

noyes@Jude:1:22 @ And some rebuke when they contend; and others save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have compassion

noyes@Jude:1:23 @ with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

noyes@Jude:1:24 @ But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

noyes@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for ever. Amen.
